What our customers say about their holidays

  I wouldn't say this was the best cottage we've stayed in but it's certainly very good.

  It was clean and comfortable. The downstairs cloakroom (WC and basin) is a good selling point and deserves to be mentioned in the listing. There were one or two omissions, but nothing show-stopping. We'd have expected spare kitchen roll, and maybe some cling film. The book of instructions for guests had details of a microwave which no longer exists (the current microwave instructions are with the microwave) but nothing about the main oven controls, which are a bit quirky. However, I Googled it and found something similar, which gave us the information needed. Previous reviews have criticised the WiFi so I was a bit apprehensive about that but I need not have been. It was better than we have at home and quite sufficient for streaming and for general use. It probably depends on what you're used to. We weren't using the third bedroom but I think the lack of storage space could be a problem. Also, some of the bedroom curtains could do with linings so that you don't wake at 5am. Overall, we had a good stay and I would recommend this cottage.

  We had a fantastic stay.

  Photos absolutely don’t do this cottage justice - it’s beautiful, so cute and cozy! It’s very well equipped, we have everything we need. The flapjacks, milk and Prosecco were a lovely treat. The flapjacks were perfect for our Three Peaks Challenge. Amazing location for the Yorkshire Three Peaks. Our only issue, which was no fault of the cottage whatsoever, was our neighbour. One of us parked in the parking space for next door, it was an honest mistake, we genuinely didn’t realise. As soon as we pulled up, the man next door came out straight away and was quite rude to us, after having just done a 11.5 hour hike. There was no need for it at all, he could have politely advised we’d parked in the wrong place. We of course apologised and moved the car straight away, but it just caused unnecessary upset. Other than that, we had an amazing stay, and would definitely stay again when we do the challenge again!

  The cottage is clean and modern.

  The owners have considered every eventuality as far as we could tell, everything was spotless, in excellent condition with some very considerate extra touches, like ice cubes in the freezer, a starter pack of logs and kindling, games and books to enjoy, along with plenty of local information, and the icing on the cake were the lovely Christmas decorations to make us feel at home. We would not hesitate in recommending the cottage to others, with one minor point to make, the need for a couple of pillows available in case anyone needs extra. Not a great problem though and didn't spoil our stay. The pub nearby was a pleasant spot with good beer and food available. The Gamecock in Austwick is an excellent spot for a lovely meal, and there are ample walks in the area for the keenest of ramblers, or the casual strollers to enjoy. All in all, we would give this pleasant little cottage 10 out of 10.

  What a cracking place to stay.

  It really teaches you to not judge a book by its cover. The property has a large open plan kitchen dining area, which was basically where we spent our time, for the short periods we were in. I was probably being pickie marking it down one on comfort. The beds were great and we slept well. The downside was the sofas. I have spinal problems and was unable to sit on them as they were to low and to soft. Great for most people I would imagine. If you stay here your ideally situated for visiting the best that North Yorkshire has to offer. Most places are within a 10 to 20 minute drive, Malham Cove, the 3 peaks, Gaping Gill and so the list goes on. The are untold number of walks on the door step too. The pub just down the road is amazing, good beer, food and dog friendly. I can highly recommend the fish and chip shop opposite co-op in Settle to. We will definitely be returning

  The Stables at Horton in Ribblesdale is a lovely property and is ideally located for exploring Ribblesdale and the Three Peaks area.

  It is clean and comfortable. Good-sized bedrooms and bathroom. The kitchen is well equipped with crockery, cutlery, and glasses, but is lacking in pots and pans and what is there is worn. Some pans have loose handles. The knife block could also do with updating. Most of the knives are nearly blunt. An update of new items would be a good addition. During our stay, there was a powerful drain smell in the kitchen, the far corner between the window and the range, and the shower. One of the selling points for the property is a view of Pen Y Ghent. Sadly, the view is obscured by trees on the other side of the beck, from both downstairs and upstairs. So, there isn't a view at all. These are not criticisms just observations. The Stables is a great cottage. We walked most days directly from the cottage as there are many fine walks to be had without the need to drive.
