  The cottage was lovely clean, welcoming, and warm.

  Smelled lovely throughout. Had pretty much everything you could need, and some things we didn't expect, like the throws in the living room. Wouldn't recommend the stairs for anyone with mobility issues as the rope handrail is not really supportive, but that will only affect the minority of people. The village is really friendly. Village shop (which has new extended opening hours) has all the basics and Leyburn is just a short drive for everything else. Excellent location for exploring the Dales. Fox pub is great for a drink and recommend the Three Horseshoes, and the Thursday night chip van that stops outside the Fox - arrival times on their website (welcome pack just says check out their Instagram, so we nearly missed it as we don't have Instagram). We stay self catering in the UK every year, and this has been one of our favourites so far of the last couple of decades. Would have gladly stayed longer, and will look forward to coming back at some point. Info for owners: The drawers in the kitchen are a little wonky- when you open the second one, the top one dips and has to be lifted to shut the second one properly. Just needs some attention to the runners. A loo brush in the downstairs loo would be a good addition.

  This is one of the cleanest cottages I have ever stayed in.

  The property owners have made a good effort to combine rustic charm with modern style and luxuries. I can only assume that the owners are either meticulous cleaners or that the property has been recently redecorated, because it was absolutely immaculate. The property was confusing and difficult to find, but the upside of that was that it made the property very secluded and private, which I enjoyed very much. Often with these rural cottages you have to park far away from the property and lug all of your belongings to and from the car, but the property's gated driveway made this a pleasant exception. Sleeping wasn't too bad, since the area is so quiet, but the bed is quite firm. This, in fact, is the only aspect where I could recommend improvement - The bed would benefit from a mattress topper or entirely new replacement and the sofas are pretty hard too. All in all, this is a very enjoyable and well-stocked cottage and would seriously consider booking again if I return to the area.

  The owner mentioned building work next door and there was a previous review online complaining about the early noise and the owner responded saying they spoke to the builder etc.

  We were out early most days hiking so it didn’t bother us except the last two days. The builder started at 06:10! They were using a circular saw at 06:30! Utterly ridiculous and unreasonable. Generally the cottage is lovely, great location and modern decor and we would stay again if the owner changed the mattress in the back bedroom. We fed back to the housekeeper during our stay and I see previous guests had moaned in the guest book in the cottage about it as well! We were advised it was new in March. It’s a very soft squishy Emma Mattress. It’s already gone past it’s best and when you lie on it your feet are higher than your head! We had to sleep with our heads at the foot of the bed. Add extra plump pillows (no option for a flatter pillow) and a winter duvet, in the summer, it made for an uncomfortable nights sleep. Such a shame because apart from the bed and builder everything was great.

  Arrived to find a welcoming property that was very clean, light and airy.

  The accommodation was very comfortable and provided an excellent base as I was undertaking a course nearby for a few days and then spending some time rediscovering the local area - the absolutely delightful Wensleydale. Its location was superb for such exploration including local walks from West Witton as well as places only a short drive away. It was great that the cottage had off-street parking. It was situated in a quiet cul-de-sac but with easy access to the main road along the Dale. I had one question of the owner who was very friendly and helpful when contacted. For anyone with bikes or equipment there's a garage for this, although I didn't require this on this occasion. I would definitely stop there again.

  Quite an old semi up a very narrow lane.

  Possible to hear next door tv. Need to keep in confines of specific parking bay outside front of property so as not to upset neighbour. Garden secure for your dog. Beds comfortable. Good selection of pots and pans and kitchen utensils. Downstairs shower is mains and excellent, upstairs is electric and a bit leaky around the hose connection. Central heating system is a little bizarre, apparently controlled remotely by the owner; for us as a retired couple it would have been better to be able to exercise some choice and control ourselves. Leyburn is a great base to explore the Dales and the scenery is breathtaking. Good walks. Plenty of pubs and places to eat.
