  The cottage is situated in a beautiful position within the village.

  However, we could not describe our stay as comfortable. The old Leather sofa bed/settee was really uncomfortable, the cushions would have given some support, but they were flat and seemed to be lacking any inner pads, the cushions were also marked and dirty. The downstairs was quite dark too. The kitchen was adequate but the cooker was sooooooo slow in heating up, we gave up cooking one night. There needs to be an investment within the property to bring it anywhere near comfortable. The bathroom was peculiar, with a window which was difficult to open, and in a unusual location. There was a bath and a mixer tap, with no hook to hold the spray head in place, to shower? Also zero shower screen or curtain, so water went everywhere! The bedroom was spacious, sadly again the bed uncomfortable, with little luxury to describe. All in all, a disappointing stay in terms of comfort. It's definitely not home from home, more TLC needs to be added to the cottage. Outdoor chairs, a welcome pack of goodies too, fresh flowers on arrival. After a 6 hour journey, half a pint of milk was less than adequate. We would not return to this property, but we would stay in Askrigg again. It's a wonderful location and village.

  We have 2 comments to make.

  The photograph of the stairs is blatantly mis-leading. You can see a hand-rail on the stairs but it does not show the steep turn at the top of the stairs (where there is no hand-rail). This caused a real problem as my wife is slightly disabled and she found coping with the situation extremely distressing. The unsuitability of the stairs for those with any infirmity should be made clear on the web-site. A note on this point was left in the cottage for the owner. Also, when we arrived I phoned the owner to clarify the wi-fi situation. I was told there was no w-fi facility. This confused me as we would not have booked otherwise (as I told the owner). I assumed I had made a mistake but on returning home I looked again at the description on the web-site and it clearly states that wi-fi is available! We have been misled and are very disappointed. The question below asks whether we want this feedback published. In the circumstances it would be more appropriate if you gave the owner the opportunity to consider the position.

  We had a truly wonderful stay at Lavender Cottage It was everything we had hoped for Cosy quaint and full of Yorkshire charm The cottage was very well equipped and had everything we needed We stayed just before Christmas and the owner had decorated it and it made us feel very Christmassy We were sent a very informative email prior to our stay with lots of useful information including places of interest to visit The area around Wensleydale is absolutely beautiful and most places were very dog friendly The village had three lovely pubs serving very good food and all very friendly and dog friendly which was great We were made to feel very welcome and we had a lovely time Very restful but also some stunning scenery to take in on our walks The whole area is steeped in history from castles to historic market towns and beautiful old pubs and breathtaking waterfalls I would highly recommend a visit to this beautiful part of Yorkshire and Lavender Cottage in the gorgeous Yorkshire Dales Penny and Carl Atvarnieks

  Due to COVID we were one year late arriving.

  This also turned out to be the wettest week of the year so far (beyond anyone’s control) We always found a parking space outside the Church gates and yes it is a bit of a hike through the church yard with your luggage but well worth it. Have walked much further in some Hotels or Airports. The cottage itself was spotlessly clean, all COVID measures taken and well equipped. There are an enormous amount if DVD,s to watch and the Broadband connection is excellent. The bedding and towels provided we’re of excellent quality. The only slight downside to the cottage was it was very cold at times as only two radiator heaters and fan heater in bathroom. You can light a coal fire but as we had done this for over 40 years we decided not to do so. The weather was unseasonably cold during our stay. This is an excellent base for touring The Dales and the scenery is out of this world. Askrigg is a beautiful unspoilt village and has pubs a shop and a fresh takeaway bakery. A very enjoyable stay

  What an absolutely fabulous week, I cannot recommend The Bothy in Redmire enough if you want to be off the grid enough for it to be tranquil but close enough to a village to not feel isolated.

  You have the River Ure nearly in your back garden that is shallow enough to swim. The Bothy itself has some amazing little touches with trying to keep the authenticity of the original barn such as the beams and stone windowsill. Love the inbuilt shelves! It’s clean. There were spiders but that’s because you are in the middle of nowhere but I didn’t see any cobwebs so you can tell it’s cleaned to a high standard at change over. The welcome pack was a nice touch including the dog treats because we took a dog. It’s those touches that make it personal and stand out. Leyburn is a short drive in and has everything you need there in case you’ve forgotten anything. It would he even better if there wasn’t a public right of way in the garden but you quickly get used to seeing them walk past and all were friendly. We will absolutely be booking again and our friends have already tried to book this year but it was taken.
