  A lovely cottage with everything you need for a really comfortable stay for two, four people might struggle though as bathroom upstairs is an en suite, but a lovely downstairs shower room too.

  The beds were so firm & comfortable we both slept so well. The cottage is really nicely furnished with 2 very comfortable sofas in the lounge. The photos don't do this lovely cottage justice, it is actually nicer in real life and that's rare! The welcome hamper was such a lovely touch and very generous. Apple TV was nice to have too. The cottage is very close to popular walks and towns, and the local pub (Sundial) is friendly and food good. Nothing to dislike about this place but a few things might be helpful to mention: Great Lavazza coffee pod machine and the coffee is really good, (better than Nespresso!) but we could not find anywhere to buy the pods which was frustrating - might it be an idea to suggest where guests could buy them locally or offer an honesty box where guests could pay to get more pods? There is a detached garden, as stated and it is really pretty. Perhaps more signage to the garden might be useful as, to get to the garden you have to go past a neighbour's garden which is all open with no fencing at all. Luckily she was gardening when we took the dogs out (she hates dogs too) so we had a friendly chat & kept our dogs off her garden. But it is a problem (especially if she's not in her garden) as dogs will naturally walk onto the first bit of garden they see. Sadly the neighbour refuses to put up a fence & is not happy that guests dogs naturally wander into her open garden as there is no fencing. We strongly suggest she puts up some sort of wicker fencing or something with a sign on her low wall to avoid future problems. It didn't detract at all from our stay as we found a lovely walk just opposite the pub to take the dogs for early morning and evening walks. The fluffy hens and ducks in garden opposite are a delight, as are the lovely little children feeding them every morning. Absolutely charming place and highly recommended! We'd love to come back for longer!

  Lovely cottage in a friendly village.

  Central for exploring this beautiful area. Comfy, well equipped and nicely decorated and furnished. Safe enclosed garden for the dog and a riverside walk from the doorstep. Shame there wasn't a welcome pack, not even a pint of milk, just a couple of teabag and coffee sachets. ( maybe I've been lucky in previous cottages with lots of treats for me and the dog! ) Sadly, my stay was spoilt due to the noise from the renovations at the cottage next door. I know this is out of the owner's control, and it was only a couple of days and one evening until 8pm but it wasn't the relaxing holiday I was hoping for. Note to Skyes (as this is not the first time) please say on the description if dogs are not allowed upstairs. I wouldn't have booked if I'd known. I'm also reluctant to book anymore attached properties as this is also not the first time this has happened to me! I had a lovely holiday though as the area is stunning and the cottage is lovely.

  Firstly we loved the location and the size of the property itself.

  There was 7 of us and we had more than enough space to relax. We loved all the outdoor space! All the bedrooms were nicely sized and the beds were really comfy. The kitchen had everything we needed which was great! Only down side would be that the rooms were a little dusty and had alot of cobwebs everywhere. One thing to note about the property is that we had alot of issues with the lights going out and the water not working. On day 2 and 3 in the morning, the water stopped working so some of us couldn’t shower, even worse there was no water coming from the kitchen tap so we couldn’t even get drinking water or do the dishes. Eventually in the working it started working again however we noticed if you had the dishwasher on the water in the house would not work. Also if you put the oven on the electricity would trip for the outside lights. Overall, we did enjoy our stay at beckhall.

  Beautiful cottage ideally situated for for the coast, lake district or the dales.

  Pub directly opposite. Please be aware that the free car park is for 23 hours, saw some cars with tickets so make sure you move your car for a while each day. The only thing I didn't like and it's only a very minor thing, is the shared pathway to the gardens. It was fine till the last couple of days as nobody else was staying on the other cottages but then someone turned up next door with two enormous dogs and unfortunately thought it was OK not to pick up their mess on the pathway. We only have a miniature dachshund so were confident it wasn't our dog that had done it due to the amount there was, also had to be careful not to let her out if they were there as she would've been cornered if they decided to go for her. Only a minor point but worth knowing. On the whole a lovely place and would highly recommend and we really enjoyed our stay ( apart from the odd huge spider

  We stayed here for a week at the end of April in this beautiful coach house ( which is one of four properties on this site).

  It is very tastefully decorated throughout with very modern furnishings and a huge kitchen space which led out into a lovely enclosed walled garden, perfect for our dog. The bedrooms were also very comfortable and again tastefully decorated with a large modern bathroom and separate shower. There are parking spaces on site too, all set in the middle of the North Yorkshire countryside. Pub/restaurant just around the corner from the property which was ideal. A real gem of a place to stay in a quiet location. You can choose to do as little or as much as you like. Would highly recommend a stay, you won’t be disappointed. I’m sure we’ll be returning again in the future.
