  This property was perfect for our break away.

  I was so pleased when we arrived as from the photographs I thought some of the rooms looked a little tired/ dated but this was not the case at all, I was pleasantly surprised that is was so fresh and clean and much better than I had expected. Great modern kitchen facilities and large open plan dining/living room space for spending time catching up with friends until the early hours. The house was warm and clean with spectacular views in a superb location with ample parking. The hot tub is huge and the wind shield worked well to shelter us from the January weather! The only suggested I could make was that the extra fold out bed in the double room was not so comfy but we didn't need to use it in the end as we were all happy to share the doubles which were comfy. (The hoover could be replaced as we struggled to do a great job of hoovering on departure as it isn't very powerful). We arrived to an unexpected welcome package of lovely drinks and treats which was a great bonus. Communication was good. Fantastic time in a wonderful place I would highly recommend and would definitely re book if I have the opportunity of an escape again. (oh one thing for Sykes is I felt you could wait to email about departure stuff until the last day as I wasn't ready to think about leaving in the middle of my stay as I was having such a wonderful time

  This is the 3rd time I have visited Cringles House and as before, it was fantabulous!

  !! I could have put met expectations in the review but that's only because I know what high standards the owners have and that is evident in the presentation of Cringles House and what it offers. The surroundings are gorgeous and as everyone puts, the hot tub is amazing!! It is the only 10 person hot tub I have ever found and it is just lovely. The layout of the house means you are not on top of one another, considering there's 10 people, and if you want a bit of alone time, it's not an issue. The communication with the owners, with Sykes and with the folks in charge of housekeeping and the hot tub is excellent, nothing being too much trouble. Unfortunately, on our weekend, we had an unwanted visitor...Storm Dennis!!!! But, that being said, we still managed to get in the hot tub, it was hilarious because a few of us had our walking hats on, you can imagine what a memory that made. lol The only reason I wouldn't want to put a good review on is because, I want to keep it for myself, but you know what they say "sharing is caring" and how could I deprive others from experiencing such a fantastic time. Can't wait for my next visit (already in the planning), try it, I will guarantee it will not disappoint.

  We really enjoyed our time at Cringles House.

  Great accommodation for a family weekend, warm in extreme conditions, loved the hot tub in the snow, ample space, great dining area, games room was well used. We do however have some comments, suggestions and one complaint. 1) There is a fridge next to the table which we found to be a freezer. We lost a bottle of champagne and a bottle of wine in the ensuing disaster. This item needs to be clearly marked as a freezer....... 2) There is an oven not working ( lower left) which makes it difficult to cook a roast for 10. 3) Some more large pans and some proper roasting pans would be good. 4) Both front and back doors very tight in frames. 5) Outside light at front is very poor. 6) Having the wood burner was great but kindling and big logs makes it difficult to keep going in a small burner. Either smaller logs or provide an axe to split big ones please? 7) No mirrors in some of the bathrooms. Difficult to shave, install lenses etc. 8) More mugs and glass tumblers would be good. Sorry we broke one wine glass trying to get it in the dish washer.... 9) One or two comments about bed comfort..... Generally we loved the place and may well book again for next year....

  We booked this cottage for a family get-together and for 8 of us it was a great space.

  Beautiful cottage with family friendly layout, in a lovely location. Games room was a huge hit with the kids, as was the hot tub! The communication about the booking prior to our stay was great, Nige and Donna were really helpful. A couple of slight disappointments were the quality of bedding and towels. For such a lovely property, the expectations we had were high; perhaps white cotton sheets and bedding - at least for the adult rooms. But the towels were awful - so thin, small, shedding bits which stuck to skin and dried so much in a drier that they did not absorb water (awful for those with long hair). The owner should really invest in nice, more practical towels. We also had a problem with the dishwasher - it had been blocked up by previous guests and left full of greasy horrible water. On raising this with the cottage team however, they did address very promptly and brought the products we asked for in order to fix it. Overall it was a great stay and we would return - but with our own towels.

  We used the beautiful Cringles House for a base closer to our wedding venue near Bolton Abbey.

  The house was absolutely perfect and all our friends and family that stayed there fell in love with it. The grounds are beautiful with the sitting room over looking the gorgeous rolling hills of the Yorkshire Dales and a fab hot tub in the back garden. All the beds were externally comfortable and the dining table comfortably sat 10 adults and a toddler in the high chair. Finally, the service from the Cringles House team was exceptional. One of the showers wasn’t draining and they came and sorted this while we were at our wedding so it was fixed for when we got home. The hot tub was clearly explained and also checked while we were there. The house team also left us a bunch of flowers, bottle of Prosecco, cars and cupcakes to wish us well for our married life and that was absolutely going above and beyond our expectations. Thank you, thank you, thank you for making our special day even better than we could have hoped for - we are keen to book again in the future! Lizzie & Sam
