Thank you so much for your kind review. So sorry you didn't find the mattress comfortable. It's is an orthopaedic pocket sprung mattress. Glas that won't stop you returning. Take care

Such a lovely wee cottage, perfect for our stay, equips with everything we needed. A great base for walks and a visit to the nearby White Scar cave. Lovely to see the birds on the feeders from the window and the little lambs in the fields x

Beautiful cosy retreat
Would I return? YES Would I recommend to family and friends? YES I loved my short stay at the cottage with my pups. Perks were: * the remote location - the babbling brook at the end of the garden was the most peaceful sound. Just wish I was able to enjoy the garden more, but visiting in winter meant my time at the property was spent indoors. Which leads me to: * log burning fireplace - with the addition of the starter logs to get you going. It made the cottage so cosy and warm. * basket of doggy things - blankets, towels and treats, which were a welcome addition. * secure garden - although the owner does state it is not 100% secure, my small pugs did fine and were safe the whole time. Things to consider: * the bathroom is very small. Advert indicates a shower room but not so much the size. Anyone over 5'10" might struggle to sit on the toilet without bashing knees on the opposite wall! For a short stay, it was perfectly acceptable. * no welcome package - despite there being a picture on the listing of a bottle of Cava and some treats to welcome you on your stay, there was nothing in the cottage on arrival. * no kitchen pantry essentials - the kitchen was kitted out with all the equipment needed for cooking and eating, however there was not a single pantry item, like tea, coffee, sugar, oil, salt, pepper etc. I wouldn't have minded there not being these things if it was made apparent in the listing, but future renters be mindful to bring these things with you.

Always a pleasure to return to this home from home cottage, where time stands still in the peace and quiet. So much to see and do on the doorstep, or just sit and watch the local wildlife visit the garden.

Property is lovely and quiet, spotless, great secure plenty of little spots to sit in the garden. The only fault is the shower room/toilet far to small not good for the less mobile people. Having said that it was still a great couple of nights.

Highly recommend to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway, i only wish we had more time to stay longer ,we had some rain whilst we were there but still managed to relax in the garden and watch all kinds of wildlife wander threw ,and a big bonus was how secure the garden is i have two boston terriers ,they a bit like sheep if theres a whole they'll find it,it was nice to not have to watch them constantly knowingthey were safe, the cottage is so lovely and cosy and has everything needed couldn't ask for more ,well be back soon thats for sure

Wonderful tranquil location with plenty of visits from the local bird and wildlife. An ideal place to get away from it all and as a base from which to explore. Next time we may take on the local 3 Peaks, inspired by one of the pictures on the cottage wall.

I must be unlucky, I guess
The property is beautiful. There are lots of provisions if you fancy a spot of cleaning but no welcome pack despite the pic on Vrbo. The one day i was there motorbikes and vintage cars were going past all day and my dog was terrified. I chose this property for him because of the quiet location but unfortunately he wouldnt leave the cottage and hid behind the bed most of the time. When he did go in the garden he got bitten to death by midges. Again unfortunate and no-ones fault. I had intended to buy some bits from the co-op and a takeaway but i couldn’t leave my dog in the house or car in his state and the takeaway didn't deliver, and they only took cash. Of course I had only taken a card. In the end i drove us to a cashpoint where he could see me from the car and picked up a takeaway.!. Phew. Sorted. Except no coffee or tea but it's only 2 nights. On Monday morning i thought I'd sit on the patio with the weetabix i had taken along..thank goodness..but, alas it wasn't to be. I got up to find a man at the kitchen window using the hose. I wasn't dressed. ! Outside were lots more men with diggers, jackhammers and a radio making a hell of a racket and waiting for the cement mixer. So the gist of it is don't expect peace and quiet on a Sunday, or this week with workmen. Don't expect a welcome pack or any tea or coffee. Take absolutely everything you will need with you..including cash. Do expect a clean lovely cottage and lots of cleaning materials.

Beautiful, detached cottage. Compact and bijou, but perfect for a couple and has everything you need. The location is simply stunning:: set right by the river with hills in the distance, you can walk right from the doorstep. Plenty to see and do in the area - we had a lovely, restful break and hope to return again in the not too distant future!

Fantastic remote couples getaway
We have just enjoyed 2 nights away in the cottage eith our dog Poppy. It's absolutely faultless. The location is remote enough to give you privacy yet only a 5 minute drive or 40 minute walk to the lovely village of High Bentham. The cottage itself is spotless, has all the amenities you'd need and has a log burner for cosy nights in. Would definitely recommend.

Lovely little cottage in the countryside but close enough to civilisation. Ideally located for both the Yorkshire Dales and the Lake District. Very cosy once we got the log fire going. I recommend turning up with a sack of logs. Forgot to pack teabags, it would have been nice to find a couple waiting. All in all, excellent accommodation and good value.

Peaceful break
The property was as expected small, but perfectly adequate for me, my husband and our dog. Very clean and well furnished. We stayed in the "heatwave" and for a couple of days the temperature was too hot to be out with our dog for most of the day. So after really early morning shady walks we stayed in the cottage and it was really relaxing and most importantly cool inside as the cottage walls were so thick and the floor tiled. We did bring our own fan as we knew temperatures were going to soar so it was perfect even at night so we slept well. Communication with the owner was great and we had a lovely surprise from her for our 30th wedding anniversary which was very kind, thoughtful and appreciated. Yes the shower room/toilet is small but we knew this before booking so it wasn't a problem. One thing I would point out is that there is a beautiful cherry tree in the garden and when we were there the garden and driveway were covered in cherry stones which could not be helped but be aware with small dogs as these if ingested could be a blockage problem, even worse if a lot are crunched up and eaten by your dog as they are poisonous After a swift "leave it" lesson with our inquisitive pooch he did learn to leave them alone.

On arrival at the cottage, we were taken aback by the beauty, it was that quiet you could have been on the moon , immaculately presented inside and out, all the wildlife right outside the window was awesome, a variety of woodpeckers & finches not to mention a small gathering of squirrels, if you want peace and tranquillity then look no further, will definitely be back very soon , thanks for a lovely stay 👍👌

BeautifulL cottage in a stunning location. Secure garden for our large Collie. Just as well as he was very interested in the local sheep which are everywhere! Only criticism would perhaps be the wet room is so tiny , if you're over 5' tall, you have to sit sidesaddle on the loo! That said the place overall and its location more than componsate. Really enjoyed our stay and the owner was most helpful.
