What our customers say about their holidays

  We enjoyed our weeks stay at Crag View and the property lived up to expectations.

  Clover very kindly allowed us to have our granddaughters for a sleepover one night and they were delighted with their room. We took them on the steam train from Embsay to Bolton Abbey which was a real treat for them as they had never been on a train journey before. We’d strongly recommend it to other visitors to the Dales. We’ve been staying in that part of the country for almost 50 years and always find something different to do. Billy Bobs ice cream parlour was an absolute hit with the girls and the weather was ideal for a day at Bolton Abbey playing in the water and a walk to The Strid never disappoints. In the past, my husband’s parents used to take him to Kettlewell and fish for tiddlers in the river Wharfe. We did the same with our three and now the third generation of our family love doing it too! Simple pleasures are always the best. The Scarecrow week was still being held at Kettlewell when we were there and we actually took our own children to the very first festival about thirty years ago! Our granddaughters found it very amusing. The Elm Tree in Embsay, virtually opposite Crag View, serves very good food and The Three Sheep in Skipton, is a favourite Tea Shop of ours. Skipton Woods is another clear favourite to exercise our two dogs. The Prosecco and truly delicious ginger biscuits were a welcomed gift from Clover and the kitchen was very well equipped. The large fridge freezer, not typical of cottages we’ve stayed in over the years, is certainly a welcomed feature and the kitchen units are clean and modern. All in all, an extremely pleasant cottage but we did find the pink sofa bed in the sitting room to be very uncomfortable. I’d recommend that Clover replaces it for a more “back friendly “ one in the future. There are notices at the top and bottom of the staircase warning guests of the steep stairs and to use the handrail. I strongly recommend other guests to take heed of the signs. The beds are very comfortable, again not typical of a holiday cottage. You chose them well Clover, we slept like babies

  Absolutely perfect!

  This was our 7th year, spending Christmas in Yorkshire, and Crag Cottage in Embsay has now become our firm favourite. The village itself was full of charm. Christmas carols at the pub on Christmas Eve made it very special; with a sense of belonging to the village. Locals were warm and friendly and welcomed us. The cottage was inviting and cosy and had everything we needed. The beds were extremely comfortable and the fire was the perfect gift, after a long, cold walk. The dogs particularly appreciated it. We enjoyed beautiful walks, long and short, from the doorstep and the hike up Embsay Crag was definitely worth the view. A trip to Bolton Abbey took us on a very long walk, alongside the river, with a stop off at the café along our way. The courtyard, at the back of the property, was perfect for the dogs and was very secure. I couldn't recommend Crag View Cottage more, especially if you're looking for comfort and a place to unwind in the beautiful, Yorkshire surroundings. We will most definitely be booking again. Many thanks to the owner for her clear instructions and easy communication.

  Park Grange Cottage is set in a stunning location and everything you could possible need to make your stay comfortable is provided by the owner.

  On arrival there was a lovely welcome pack which we thoroughly enjoyed and the cottage had been cleaned to a very high standard. Despite the age of the cottage it has been tastefully decorated and brought up to date with quality fixtures and fittings. It is also very cosy with central heating and a wood burning stove for chilly evenings, lots of hot water too, comfortable beds and lovely views over the village green. The location is perfect for walks straight from the door or short drives to places such as Bolton Abbey, Skipton, Ripon, Brigham Rocks etc. There are lots of places to eat out and a local food store and petrol station in the village. We hope to stay at Park Grange again in the future and can certainly recommend the property.
