Last Minute Cottages in the Yorkshire Dales

What our customers say about their holidays

  The cottage is lovely, comfortable and well equipped including excellent wi-fi (though the dryer part of the washer-dryer doesn't work). Burnsall is normally a delightful and tranquil location, its inhabitants are friendly and it is a great place from which to explore a beautiful and interesting area. But on hot days the whole of the surrounding area descends on Burnsall and its river and because the cottage is so central you cannot avoid the feeling that your peace has been disrupted. There are cars everywhere and if you look out of the window you can see lots and lots of people. If you open the window you hear lots of noise sometimes quite late into the night. Local volunteers clear up the appalling rubbish people leave behind them. In conclusion this should have been a five star review. But on warm/hot days in summer the cottage doesn't live up to its description as a rural retreat. So best to come in spring or autumn and you will have a wonderful holiday.

  The house was clean and very comfortable in a lovely location with great walks right from the house. Our week was just after the schools went back but we hadn't realised how busy Burnsall was especially at the weekends. The number of TV channels was somewhat limited unless you brought your own Sky card which we weren't told about beforehand. What was more disappointing was that the field behind the property was open as a car park by the farmer with cars and pedestrians walking past the house and we were unable to use the "patio" tables and chairs which were right on the edge of the lane. The farmer who allows parking in his field instructed us to park under the ash tree (not oak!) but didn't mention that birds roost in that tree at night and the car was covered with excrement in the morning with no outside tap to use to clean it off. Apart from these points, we had a lovely week walking by the river with some great pubs nearby.

  The holiday was booked back in January before Covid.

  I was absolutely delighted to learn that it could still take place and I have to say that it is difficult to find words in which to express my appreciation of the work that Anne and George put into making our holiday so absolutely wonderful and safe. The cottage more than met my expectations, and the homely touches were lovely. The welcome pack was more than appreciated after a 6 hour drive. The cottage was comfortable, very well furnished and cosy. The little patio garden was a lovely place to sit especially after a long walk with my six month old puppy (who loved meeting the neighbours!). George and Anne were so helpful and gave us a lot information about walks in the area, where to shop and places to visit and George had even done some hand drawn maps for us to use. Thank you for a lovely week.

  This property is one of the best we have stayed in, and that is saying something!

  I can't describe it any better than the photos do, it is exactly as you see it. The whole place is very clean and extremely tastefully done. The kitchen is so well equipped that you have everything you could possibly need. There was a welcome pack from George and Anne which was an absolute treat. The bed is way too comfy and I didn't want to get up on the morning. Bathroom is perfect and the shower pure bliss! Location great as just on the edge of Barnoldswick and loads of shops, pubs etc. Fantastic location for cycling or walking, the canal path is lovely and flat. George and Anne looked after us so well and are just a minute away if you need anything. I feel like I haven't explained how fabulous this property is enough so I'm saying it again. It is fabulous.

  Firstly Barnoldswick is not in the Yorkshire dales, it is in Lancashire.

  Although near the Dales it is much nearer the beautiful countryside of Pendle parish. Accuracy of description is not Sykes strong point! Secondly my grade 7 refers to Sykes business practise (and not the cottage) as that is the question asked. Weavers View is one of the nicest cottages I have stayed in and I would happily give it a 4.5 to 5 star rating. Beautifully presented, warm and clean. The owner George was very welcoming and helpful during my stay and the many festive touches added to my Christmas experience. Ideally the little outside area would have a better outlook but not having a pretty view would in no way prevent me going again quite happily. A big thank you to George and Anne.
