  We loved our stay and will certainly stay there next time we are having a short break in the area.

  Both Roger and Hillary were very friendly and helpful each time we spoke to them Roger met us as soon as we arrived and he helped carry our bags in befire showing us around, explaining where everything was and how to operate the boiler and log burning stove etc. The beds were very comfortable, kitchen had everything we needed and the upstairs lounge was so toasty and warm we didn't need to use the log burner. The property is well decorated and maintained and we had no complaints at all about our stay. Roger also went though the various recommended pubs and eating places in the information folder they provide. Certainly the 3 pubs in Middleham we went to were excellent (Black Bull doesn't do food but has very nice beer). The food and beer in both the Richard III and The Dante was very nice indeed, and the staff in all 3 places were very friendly and welcoming. The local village shop is ideally located and open from early till late most days and the Chip Shop has excellent reviews but we didn't get a chance to try them.

  We had a really pleasant stay at this property.

  There were a few things however that did slightly affect our overall rating. The Bannister railings upstairs on the right were loose.That was a safety concern for us as we had to be careful not to hold onto a certain part of it .Particularly as we had a child. The upstairs bedroom windows didn't have any blinds or net curtains so the house opposite could see right in .This again was a privacy and modesty concern. The bath was not very deep therefore slightly uncomfortable in the bathroom . The small stool seat in the main bedroom near the dressing table was broken so you couldn't sit on it properly . The WiFi was unfortunately not a good coverage.We couldn't watch catch up TV properly or it would buffer alot whilst loading. These are all things that could be easily addressed though .We enjoyed our stay and the facilities overall were good. It was a cottage full of character in a beautiful area.

  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 cottage in an excellent location.

  A short walk to all the local shops and on the main routes to the rest of the dales. Good facilities throughout the cottage and the 2 toilets were extremely handy. Lovely enclosed gardens that we and the dogs enjoyed. The welcome pack was great too. The only downside for us was the electric heating which was remotely controlled. It was supposed to come on in the morning and in the afternoon/evening but it didn’t. It did come on for less than an hour on a couple of occasions but that was that. Consequently the bedroom and bathroom were cold the whole time. Fortunately the log burner kept the downstairs warm. We ended up buying 4 extra bags.

  The Gatehouse was a great location for our holiday.

  It was especially good for us to be in a small town as we live really rural with no nearby facilities, so we enjoyed two minutes to the shops and ten seconds to the pub. The castle was only a few minutes away too which was great. The house was very comfortable and cosy with most things you are likely to need. The showers were excellent, with easy to control temperature and a good forceful drenching. The rooms were spacious and well presented and the beds were comfortable. The only niggle was the hit and miss internet and dreadful sound quality of the telly. This was a very nice holiday with lots near by. I would return.
