What our customers say about their holidays

  This was possibly one of our best holidays ever.

  My partner and I have fallen in love with the Yorkshire Dales. The 17th century cottage is right in the heart of the countryside, Bank Newton being a tiny hamlet? and the nearest village being Gargrave. It was so peaceful and relaxing. The cottage itself is beautiful and in keeping with a property of that period. I loved the little garden with the arch and the roses, leading straight onto a field of cows. It was lovely to wake up in the morning, open the windows and hear cows and sheep. The bedroom and the living room were so cosy - impossible not to relax here. The kitchen and the bathroom had everything conceivable that one could need. There is a very good farm shop called Keelan that sold fresh, local produce nearby. We did a lot of walking on this holiday, there was always a sense of space, we rarely bumped into anyone. This part of Yorkshire remains unspoiled. I would thoroughly recommend staying at this cottage. The owner was so thoughtful and concerned that we should enjoy our stay. We are already thinking about whether it would be possible to book the same holiday again this time next year.

  We booked last minute and were fortunate to secure 5 nights in October.

  The Cottage was wonderful, warm and extremely well equipped. I would imagine that the cottage would be the perfect spot to locate any time of the year. It is a couple of miles from Gargrave in a hamlet called Bank Newton. Catherine lived close and was a great source of knowledge for local walks as well as walks further afield. The cottage is a stone's throw from the Liverpool-Leeds Canal which has pretty walks in both directions. Airedale, Wharfedale, Bolton Abbey, Grassington, Kettlewell, Malham, Settle, Kettlewell, and numerous other Dales Beauty spots (to say nothing of Tearooms) are nearby. The George at Hubberholme is to be recommended, terrific food, local beer and a genial Mine Host. Buckden, stop off at the George for lunch, Scar House, Cray and back down to Buckden is a lovely walk. Back to the Cottage for tea and some of Catherine's super cake...............what's not to like!

  The barn is in a gorgeous location, really remote and an ideal place to go ‘switch off’.

  We had the master bedroom with the on suite and the bed was SO comfy! Hot tub was fabulous and we met some on site staff who were all really friendly. The welcome basket was a nice touch. Thank you. A couple of things we found not so great… General cleanliness wasn’t of a high standard, felt like the property would really benefit from a regular deep clean. We found the fridge quite small, the space in the kitchen could be better utilised providing a larger fridge and perhaps an additional wine fridge too. No many pots and pans available for cooking, perhaps a list could be provided so guests knew to bring extra if needed. The living room is a great size but there isn’t really enough seating for 6 people to sit and lounge comfortably, would be better to have more sofas/chairs. The hanging chairs felt decorative rather than useful. Providing a light and easy to use stick for opening the Velux windows would be handy.

  We absolutely loved our stay!

  Everything was spotless on arrival, and the property is furnished to the highest standard. Thank you for our welcome basket too which had bread, milk, bacon, butter and treats - even a bottle of Prosecco and Beers. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay. Right on the edge of Grimwith reservoir, there’s no noise or light pollution and is the perfect setting to unwind. Jerry is very welcoming and nothing is too much of an ask, he really is a credit to the three cottages here. Highly recommend walking around the reservoir- 4.5miles. Lots of wildlife too in the area, it’s gorgeous. We loved our stay so much we have already booked Skyfell ( the cottage next door - same owners) so we can bring family along next time. See you again in December- can’t wait!! Andrew, Emma & Riley the border collie.

  Location is great for a relaxing time.

  With great reservoir walk on the doorstep. Barn has everything you need. Beds super comfy with great Bed linen. Barn is really warm With radiators but wood burner makes it even more cosy on a cold winter night with plenty of wood for your stay. Hot tub is a bonus we enjoyed sitting it with snow all around. View of reservoir great for watching wild life even saw barn owls outside of window. Good location for visiting some of yorkshires sites. Owner Hayley was superb staying in contact with us regularly when heavy snow caused us to delay our stay buy a couple of days. Jerry the maintenance guy is so helpful and on hand when needed. Welcome pack is great and much appreciated. Will definitely be going back to see another season of the reservoir.
