  I really liked the unspoilt feel of the building, sufficiently converted for comfort without losing its character.

  The wooden bolt which closes the bottom half of the door is EXTREMELY stiff. I was never sure I'd be able to open / close it. I had to keep the bottom half bolted shut to prevent the neighbours' large dog bursting in. I kept the top half open to let in more light and to air the place whenever I was in. I had to buy an elastic cord to hold the top half open (I did look round for string) as it just swung shut each time. The hard floor and leather sofa/chair is a great option for keeping the place clean as dogs are allowed but the soft furnishings have absorbed the smell of dog, especially the cushions, which a person plumps up around their back and shoulders in use and so they are in close human contact - could these be changed weekly and laundered? All you would need is two sets. I found the bed and bed linen supremely comfortable! With the hair dryer plugged in there is no mirror within reach - upstairs or downstairs. Thank you for the wine, chocolates, milk, tea and coffee, they were very welcoming. I found the oven easy to use (I have gas at home) but having to use pan lids that were too large meant the condensation from boiling etc constantly spilled over onto the the stove top. The kitchen tap splashes/drips onto the painted shelf because it is too far back from the sink. When it rained a lot of water came in through the wall and puddled on the stone window ledge behind the sink (where all the soil is) - this then seeped away somewhere over the next couple of hours! I knew to expect dogs in the shared courtyard and I am not scared of dogs. I also know you ask people to use the shared spaces respectfully. However this message might need reinforcing. My thigh was hurt and bruised by the neighbours' large boisterous dog which constantly jumped up at me when I was going in and out and they were outside with the dogs. They tried holding it by its back legs but this was not effective. I really enjoyed my stay. I make these comments not as a criticism but as helpful feedback.

  The good: - Great location for Malham and the Pennine Way - Lots of space in living areas and two of the bedrooms - Clean The bad: - Lacking some basics (scissors in the kitchen; saucepans big enough to cook basics for 4) - Very small and compromised bathrooms - In poor state of repair in places (large glass shower door held on with silicone, and fell off; bad smell from drains; TVs in bedrooms not working) - Layout of outdoor space leads to a total lack of privacy in garden (which is shared with the neighbouring cottage). For example, the Hot Tub is placed just a few feet from the one belonging to the neighbouring cottage, meaning no privacy if the neighbours use theirs at the same time. (Especially so if you have neighbours who spend their time smoking, drinking, swearing, shouting and arguing in the hot tub!) We eventually cut our stay short and came home a day early. The owner did offer a partial refund, reflecting some of these issues, but this has never materialised and he has since stopped answering messages asking him to honour his promises.

  Me, my partner and our dog had a lovely stay!

  We got out of the stay exactly what we were looking for. From the moment we arrived we were made to feel very welcome, everyone spoke to us and we even joined in playing pool and darts. If I’m honest we stopped in a chalet and we both agreed we’d come back to the site but stop in a caravan next time. The chalets are nice but they do lack cooking facilities and a bit more space when you have a pet too. It was not very warm and we did struggle to dry our clothes, however it was March and poor weather. Could not fault the bed and the comfort of the mattress 10/10. The shower was lovely and the hot tub beautiful. Lovely touch having the robes provided too. We made some great friends in the bar and they made our stay! It’s a lovely base for visiting local areas, we went to Scarborough, Whitby and Filey during our stay. There is also great walks from the site, which we loved and made the most of. Thank you Snooty Fox, we will hopefully see you again soon.

  The instructions you are emailed on how to collect your keys is great.

  We got in nice and easy in no time at all completely independently. The accommodation was lovely and clean, very spacious. The bed was super comfy and loved the added touch of tea and coffee. I do however think that it should be mentioned on the listing that the property came with a toaster and air fryer. Also I was a little disappointed that there wasn’t a long tall wall mirror. The Wi-Fi was a little temperamental but wasn’t too much of an issue. The hot tub is a lovely added touch but wasn’t a fan of the grated fence around top of the wall as people walking up the main stairs to get to there chalet could see you. Also on departure we could not find a industrial bin in order to put all our rubbish in. Overall chalet 2 is fantastic. I would definitely stay again

  The value was amazing, the hot tub was lovely and we had a fantastic time!

  ! The lack of cooking facilities and fridge space was a struggle with the supermarket 30 mins away. I understand we were made aware of this prior to booking so we came prepared! The chalet not having WiFi is also something that could easily be provided. There wasn't much close to us but we enjoyed being able to drive to various different places throughout our stay! More information on how the jacuzzi works would be great as we struggled to get the temperature above 36 and also couldn't figure out how to turn it off as it would be 3am and we could hear the loud hum of the jacuzzi. There seemed to be a bar onsite which we saw open once, we would have liked to have more information on this as well so we knew when it was open as we would have liked to visit. Thank you!
