  Lovely secluded spot tucked away down a steepish hill so watch out for the sharp right then left hand turn although in the instructions it does warn you.

  The views were stunning as were the gardens - plenty of spots front and back for shade and sun. Seating front and back. Very quiet -occasional donkey bray from a field further down. Occasional visit from a ginger cat and 3 very well behaved chickens - all added to the country charm! The cottage was more spacious than the photos implied. Very nice kitchen with all good facilities -lovely brown eggs left by Barbara the owner who is very friendly. Just short of some eggcups. Rooms were comfortably furnished and some interesting family trinkets. You can walk to the local Co-Op about 10 mins downhill maybe 20 mins up the steep slope. Pleasant walk to the Oakworth train station and if you are a keen walker can join the 'The Railway Children Trail'. Car required for the pubs -this is the Dales things are spread out! Many lovely things to do for all interests. Railway journeys/museums/stately homes/great walks/shopping at Saltaire or Piece Hall and many other things. Only draw back is the one bathroom for 4 adults but we were aware and made plans to deal with that but with the other lovely things this was easily dealt with. Many thanks to Barbara -lovely holiday.

  Such a lovely little cottage, ideal for either families, couples or, in our case, three women of "a certain age" with our dogs.

  Louise the owner had left us a loaf, eggs, milk, delicious cookies and a bottle of wine. Everything you will need is in the drawers and cupboards so, no need to take anything with you. The only problem we had was we didn't realise that the thermostat for the radiators was upstairs in the corner of the sitting room whereas all other controls were in the kitchen but, a quick phone call to Louise soon sorted that out. The pub next door serves delicious meals but, best to book as it's very deservedly popular. Also, keep a close eye on your dogs when you're with them in the yard; ours soon discovered that, if they went up the steps and behind the carport, they could escape; plus my dog was able to just step through the gates even when they were closed. All of us had a lovely weekend here and hope to return again before too long. Thank you for a wonderful stay Louise

  The cottage was poorly lighted, a number of the lamps did not work and there was a low chandelier directly over the main sitting area which needed to be avoided.

  There were no spare bulbs or batteries at the property. The in-built cooker was obviously quite old, so much so that the markings indicating the temperature settings and oven settings were no longer readable, so made it very difficult to use the oven properly. A number of the baking sheets were dirty and could not have been checked before we arrived. The shower constantly dripped 24/7 and sounded very loud at night making it difficult to ignore when trying to sleep. The mattress cover on the double bed sported a large stain, which was there prior to our stay and should have been replaced before we arrived. The walls seemed paper thin and we could hear a lot of noises from the neighbouring properties. It would have been helpful if there was information at the cottage about recycling, it was difficult to know what is recycled locally.

  Lower Cross is comfortable and cosy and just about everything has been thought of.

  There are stunning views from the living room, main bedroom and sun room across the beautiful garden to the fields and hills beyond. The sun room is such a bonus, as you can enjoy a cup of coffee or a glass of wine whilst enjoying the view no matter what the weather. The cottage is very near to Oakworth Railway Station, where The Railway Children was filmed and to Haworth, where the Brontës lived. Grassington is approximately 30 minutes away by car where the new All Creatures Great and Small is filmed, and it's also a short drive to the impressive Malham Cove. There are many nice dog friendly pubs and cafes in Grassington, Haworth and Hebden Bridge. The surrounding countryside is breathtaking. Barbara is a very warm and friendly host.

  Perfect little cottage.

  Decor was tasteful, homely and ideal for the style of property. Everything was so well layed out to maximise the space. Facilities were brilliant; absolutely everything we could have needed and more ( never before stayed at a cottage which supplied a slow cooker, hairdryer and straightners!) sofa and beds were all so comfy and the extra cushions and blankets are a lovely touch for getting cozy in the evening. The electric fire was useful to just take chill off the wooden floors early morning and evening - greatly appreciated by my elderly Mum who was with us. The perfect place to stay for all three generations in our family party of three. Would definately recommend this cottage and will be booking to stay again.
