  We came to stay at the property with family to celebrate my husband's 60th birthday.

  It is perfectly situated two miles out of Skipton, which is only a five minute drive away, and with stunning views. The house was beautifully warm when we arrived on a chilly evening and we were made very welcome by the owners. The house is charming and has lots of interesting features, including fires which could be lit in the three reception rooms, and lots of nooks and crannies. The bedrooms were beautifully comfortable and the bathrooms clean and well stocked. There was plenty of room for everyone to spread out, although we could barely get the youngsters (11, 9 & 7) inside as they spotted the swing in the paddock as soon as they arrived, where they played for ages, surrounded by a sheep, two alpacas and a donkey. There is a lovely walk by the canal, just short walk from the house and a fabulous farm shop just a mile away. Skipton is a very pretty town and we visited the castle, had a trip on the canal on a barge and ate out one evening at a lovely bistro. We had a wonderful time and can thoroughly recommend it.

  This is a nice quiet house in a cul de sac.

  lovely neighbours. very close to the village, only a 3-4 minute walk, and 10 minutes to the nearest beach which has beach shops, restaurant and bars. seemed safe for children. Really accessible for Freshwater and Yarmouth and beautiful views can be found from the military road only 10 minutes drive away. The house itself has everything you need, and very comfortable beds and lounge furniture. The only negatives from the whole experience was a strange smell emanating from under the stairs, which could have been from previous leaks or maybe a large wooden chest that is there. We didn't look inside but just bought a plug in air freshener which masked the smell whilst we were there, the garden could have done with a weed, (but a lovely sun trap) and some tv channels were unwatchable as the signal broke up. None of these things bothered us too much ... but would have been a 5* otherwise. Would we book this property again...YES without a doubt

  Very clean, tidy & well kept lodge with plenty of space.

  Hot tub was nice , a lovely welcome pack, heating was great ( too hot on our arrival) but easier to cool down than opposite to warm up quick ( underfloor heating) might be worth adding warning sign next to towel radiators as these where exceptionally hot and young and vulnerable people may get hurt if not aware. Could be more details in listing as we ended up taken stuff that we didn't need as it was available but not listed. only slight negative was sofas in lounge uncomfortable after a while , whilst both bedrooms had smart TV's so you could have Netflix, youtube , etc etc but main TV in lounge was just digital so we were restricted when wanting to watch movie in the evening with children, they ended up in bedroom utilising smart TV options etc. Apart from that great place and would def recommend and go back again 4.5 out of 5

  We had a lovely stay at Bay Horse Farm, such a great welcoming cottage and hosts, including the alpacas and donkey!

  Cooking on the aga was also a highlight, especially the toasting rack! Great location too, nothing was too far away. We did various activities including Bolton Abbey, a steam railway ride, canal boat trip, and bowling and darts for the teenagers as well as a visit to Aireville Park. Skipton Castle and a mooch around the town was also ticked off. We had evening meals in the cottage a couple of nights and also ventured to the best fish and chips place The Frying Yorkshireman in nearby Gargrave and The Fountaine Inn at Linton. After we checked out on the Friday morning we headed to Billy Bob's Diner which was amazing - full on American style diner where we overdosed on waffles and pancakes. A brilliant week was had by all 7 of us in a very lovely cottage. Thank you xx

  Last year we stayed at Pine Lodge in this complex and we liked it so much we returned this year but as that chalet was booked we took Holly Lodge instead.

  Although to an equal standard the location was a problem as it backed onto a mobile home/caravan complex. When using the hot tub privacy was impacted and the noise, especially at night, was disturbing even within the chalet bedrooms. Additionally there were flashing external lights which had been added to the chalets and these were mostly left on day and night. The double bedroom, not withstanding the heavy curtains, was subject to flashing, strobe lighting throughout the night which made it impossible to sleep properly. We had to request a member of staff to turn off the ones in the next door chalet in order for us to get a good nights sleep. Other adjacent chalets had these lights left on 24/7 even when unoccupied. Rather disappointing follow our previous stay.
