  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.

  Tiplady is a comfortable and cosy cottage in the centre a delightful village in a beautiful part of Yorkshire and we really enjoyed our week there.

  It is very welcoming, clean and well-eqipped with everything you might need - though we would have appreciated an ice tray for the G&Ts and fluffier pillows, and we think towel rails in the bedrooms would be useful as there is little space in the bathroom. The shower and WiFi were occasionally temperamental and there is little WiFi coverage in the dining area. The parking space was difficult to manoeuvre into, but there were plenty of parking spaces very close by. We really appreciated the box of walk books and local information and we really enjoyed playing the Pub Quiz game! Thank you - we would definitely recommend this cottage to others and return to it ourselves.

  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.

  Lovely clean, comfortable and modern property. Shame not to have a dishwasher, but it felt luxurious to have 2 bathrooms plus a downstairs loo. Convenient location for exploring the northern Dales. It's on the edge of a town, so you don't get rural seclusion, but you do get amenities within 10 minutes' walk. Both the Co-Op and R. Cambells supermarkets were larger than expected and well stocked. There are a decent selection of churches, pubs and tea shops. The Shawl has the most picturesque playground that we have ever visited. We also enjoyed Aysgarth Falls, Middleham Castle, the Wensleydale Creamery and some nice walks with a bit of wildlife.
