  Although the house itself is beautiful, internally too, we were left very disappointed at the poor standard of cleanliness throughout.

  From arrival to leaving it seemed more and more went against our internal high expectations of this property. Furnishings such as the kitchen chairs and the cushions on the sofa are really looking tired. We appreciate this property is old and with it may come spiders and cobwebs but they were everywhere, where they shouldn't have been IF the place had been cleaned thoroughly between visits. I don't believe the floor appeared to have been cleaned properly for a long time, with evident darken dirt built up through the main walk ways, which stood out to the areas not waked on (games room pew area for example) along this the floor in the kitchen is dangerous. The grouting has come away from lin large sections and attempts have been made clearly to part others up but the exposed craters meant we kept loosing chair legs down them and losing our balance whilst sitting, being as deep. Three TV' s in bedrooms didn't work, stating please check arial! Not great. The cupboard surround to the right of the freezer fell off on our arrival. The back door lock is super tricky to actually lock and the door catches on the floor when opening leaving you very little space to slip in. The flag steps to the front and the back are covered with slippery moisture/dirt build up leaving us slipping too many times, they need jet washing! The shower to the main bathroom upstairs is very slow to drain, needs looking at! The floors we feel hadn't even been swept as there was visible hair and dirt on arrival. And we were disappointed given the high end price of the property that there was zero salt or pepper, no milk coffee or sugar condiments, just a large empty grinder in the cupboard. The cupboards were also very messy with no structure to them, particularly a cupboard housing plastic pates etc, wait was dirty too. Same with the cleaning product cupboards in the kitchen and utility. All needs a sort out and to be presented a lot better in our opinion. We would be grateful to hear back from the owner on the back of this feedback as we really weren't happy with the standard of the place during our stay given we'd trusted it to be a lot more high spec having read the write up and paid the very expensive price for our stay.

  Enjoyable mini break in a lovely, clean, well equipped cottage.

  The bed was very comfortable, although the electric shower, while nice and hot, didn't have much flow and I had to wash my hair using the bath tap shower head. The bedrooms down the very steep and narrow treaded stairs (beware if you have any mobility issues) have had a makeover since the photos and are well equipped and very comfortable. The kitchen has everything needed for self catering, including a coffee machine. The welcome basket of prosecco, crisps and 4 coffee pods was a nice touch. The only downside was the 5pm check in and 9am checkout, I understand that this may have been changed due to covid/cleaning etc, but this made it a rush to get up, packed and leave the place as we found it without setting the alarm to get up early, although we did it, but an extra hour would have helped so we could have had some breakfast as well! Set in a lovely location with views from the patio garden over Reeth and the surrounding hills, walking distance to Reeth where there are pubs serving food and a small corner shop which is quite well stocked, and a friendly pub in Grinton also serving food. We self catered and shopped at Tesco in Catterick Garrison on the way so didn't eat out on this trip. We did two 7 mile walks along the river and up along the tops of both sides of the valley, Fremington Edge and Harkerside where you can see for miles, which both us and our dog loved as we were very lucky with two days of lovely December sunshine! And there are plenty more walks right on the doorstep. The parking at the bottom of the hill a short walk away, was in a small lane shared with some cottages. All in all a great stay, we may need to return to explore more of the stunning local area!

  This was our 4th visit to Neddy house, and whilst I am not submitting a complaint, I feel compelled to submit some constructive criticism!

  Since our first visit the property has lost that wow factor. It is looking very "tired" and several areas could do with sprucing up, or at least a deep clean. Acknowledging that this is an old country dwelling, we felt that even considering this, there is an excess of cobwebs and dust in the general living areas and in the corners of steps. The flag floors were very dusty and dirty, previous occupants breakfast cereals lurk in the cracks, lots of crumbs and old party decorations were all around on the floor when we arrived. Simple things like the oven gloves which are covered in old food, require washing or rotating between guests. Place mats are frayed, and the cork plate mats are crumbling and stained. Also the website needs altering. For ourselves, one of the attractions is the log burner and the description states that a starter supply of logs are included, however when I rang the contact number, I was told that that was not until post October 1st bookings, to be fair a small bag of logs was delivered after my call, but had we known that they were not included, then we would have taken some with us. The whole property is in need of a deep clean and some tlc to revive the experience.

  The cottage was absolutely perfect.

  Beautiful surroundings. It had everything we could wish for. It was a lovely surprise to find a box of essentials tea coffee even a bottle of Prosecco. Very thoughtful . Bed was very comfy . Bed linen , crockery etc was all good quality . Had a great stay. fantastic walks right from the door of the cottage . Will definitely book again . The only down side was check in times 5 pm and leave at 9am it was such a rush to get out for 9am and leave the cottage as we found it . Makes it quite stressful you also lose a day of your holiday . I understand due to Covid the extra cleaning but check in and out times should be 3pm arrival and 11 am departure . It still gives 4 hours to clean . Other than that the Cottage was perfect .

  Lounge window is very drafty.

  A chamois leather/cloth or Karcher machine to mop the window panes on cold mornings would be useful. Lounge rug keeps moving/slipping on the carpet. Would be good to be able to store bicycles in the shed (which is full of other stuff). Also, wheelie bin blocks easy access to the patio so perhaps it could 'live' on the patio and just be moved outside the gate on collection days? Couldn't get coffee maker green light to come on. Apart from these small practical things, we very much enjoyed staying in your cottage - it has such a homely, cosy feel. Loved sitting contemplating the view across to Reeth, watching the sheep and pheasants in the field - you might add a photo to show this (a real plus point). Thank you so much.
