The beds are comfortable and towels good quality. Some of the kitchen equipment needs updating but we managed very well. Having two parking spaces available is a bonus. The local pub (Bolton Arms) served excellent food and more importantly excellent ales, with an impressive selection of gins. All in all we would not hesitate to return.

Lilac Cottage is simply a joy to use for a holiday in Wensleydale. Beautifully decorated, spacious, spotlessly clean and amazingly well equipped. Located in a quiet cul-de-sac, it is possible to walk to the local pub, venture further afield on countless footpaths and easily travel around the Dale to enjoy the endless array of attractions. And if it rains that only serves to make the local waterfalls even more spectacular!!

We were very lucky with the weather and enjoyed sitting out in the garden. It was a very comfortable house and there were lovely walks to take the dog from the house.

Comfortable house. Nice village. Good local walks and easy access to shops at Leyburn and beautiful scenery in Wensleydale and Swaledale. I always wish the beds were bigger in holiday cottages. p.s. We all kept banging our heads on the lamp over the kitchen table. Recycling was an issue. I started to sort out the previous occupants rubbish but didn’t have any gloves.

There was plenty of room including a well-equipped kitchen/dining area which allowed us all to sit together for meals. All the bedrooms were nicely decorated and one had an en-suite complete with jacuzzi bath, which the ladies particularly enjoyed! The only thing to note, not as a criticism but an observation, is the main bathroom has a shower cubicle which has no door but instead a partial screen enclosure. This often allowed water to escape the cubicle and land on the floor outside resulting in soaking wet floor mats. It certainly didn't stop us using the shower but is something to be aware of. In all other respects we really enjoyed the cottage. There is also a well-kept enclosed garden and on sunny days it's a peaceful place to sit and relax. The village of Redmire is lovely, well-located for the main roads if you want to travel around the area and all the locals we met were very friendly and wouldn't pass by without at least saying hello. The village pub, The Bolton Arms, is definitely recommended and as well as a good choice of drinks does excellent meals. For general grocery shopping there is a large Tesco store at Catterick and a well-stocked store, Campbells of Leyburn, both of which are a short drive away. The area around Redmire is beautiful and there are lots of pretty villages and attractions to see. Local highlights include the impressive Bolton Castle, Aysgarth Falls and The Forbidden Corner which are all only minutes by car from the cottage and within walking distance if you feel so inclined! There are cinemas in Catterick and Richmond, the latter being housed in the old railway station which is worth visiting in itself and also does good food. By car there is obviously a huge amount to see and do both locally and further afield, with all the Dales, the Moors, the Coast and York being easily accessible...…..running out of time to do everything you want is the biggest problem! Overall, we would have no hesitation in returning to Lilac Cottage and would recommend it 100%. A note about the owners - we only met them briefly one day and they were heading off for a short break themselves but a few days later we had a slight issue with the front door lock. Typically enough, it happened at night. Anyway, a couple of text messages exchanged with the owners and a locksmith was arranged for the following morning. Excellent service and very reassuring to have such attentive and helpful owners so a big thumbs up to them. ##### Gillian This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Isobel 15 Jul 2019 #### Great cottage in a very good location.

Lovely cottage very warm and comfortable. Some of the pots and pans needed washing before use but the cottage itself was very clean. The garden is excellent for sitting out and totally enclosed if you have a dog. Redmire is a quite village with a good Pub and nice walks straight from the door but no shop. Leyburn is great for your everyday needs only a short drive away and good car parking. Would visit again. ##### GILLIAN This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Pat 28 Apr 2019 #### Very warm and comfortable. Very warm and comfortable. Could settle as soon as arrived. No problems. Lovely garden and very safe for our dog. Have been cottages where heating strictly timed and have been too cool in the evening. This was lovely to come back from a walk on a cold day and be able to turn the heating up or on ourselves. Room for 2 cars easily at the cottage. No local shop for emergency goods but had taken our own. Local Pub changed hands and the menu choice not as we have been used to with previous landlords (been going to Redmire for 30yrs) Found it a little pricey to go every evening (restaurant choice and price) and after a day's walking would welcome a typical bar menu and price so could go each evening. Only negative to holiday. Would definitely recommend Lilac Cottage, Redmire ##### Pat ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Sykes's House](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Leyburn-Hotels-Sykess-House.h13124704.Hotel-Information) > > [Lakeside Lodge with 6 berth hot tub and private fishing peg](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lincoln-Hotels-Delightful-Lakeside-Lodge-With-Hot-Tub-Private-Fishing-Peg-With-Stunning-View.h27123912.Hotel-Information) > > [Bumblebee Cottage](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Leyburn-Hotels-Bumblebee-Cottage.h37737882.Hotel-Information) > > [Saltmoore](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Whitby-Hotels-Raithwaite-Sandsend.h4276816.Hotel-Information) > > [Wychnor Park Country Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Burton-On-Trent-Hotels-Wychnor-Park-Country-Club.h1927715.Hotel-Information) > > [Caverswall Castle](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stoke-On-Trent-Hotels-Caverswall-Castle.h23959535.Hotel-Information) > > [Cambridge Belfry Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cambridge-Hotels-Cambridge-Belfry.h1103020.Hotel-Information) > > [Cheltenham Chase Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cheltenham-Hotels-Delta-By-Marriott-Cheltenham-Chase-Hotel.h9657.Hotel-Information) > > [Etrop Grange Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manchester-Hotels-Etrop-Grange.h49116.Hotel-Information) > > [Bredbury Hall by Accor](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stockport-Hotels-Bredbury-Hall.h64706.Hotel-Information) > > [Aysgarth Falls Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Leyburn-Hotels-Aysgarth-Falls-Hotel.h18470196.Hotel-Information) > > [Cave Hotel & Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Faversham-Hotels-Cave-Hotel-Golf-Resort.h33410673.Hotel-Information) > > [The Dante Arms](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Leyburn-Hotels-The-Dante-Arms.h23386299.Hotel-Information) > > [De Vere Tortworth Court](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bristol-Hotels-De-Vere-Tortworth-Court.h570412.Hotel-Information) > > [Luxury caravan at Butlins Skegness](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Skegness-Hotels-Luxury-Caravan-At-Butlins-Skegness.h36376338.Hotel-Information) > > [Splash Landings Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stoke-On-Trent-Hotels-Splash-Landings-Hotel.h1160988.Hotel-Information) > > [The Derwent Manor Boutique Hotel ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Consett-Hotels-The-Derwent-Manor-Boutique-Hotel.h9535.Hotel-Information) > > [Delta Hotels by Marriott Warwick](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Warwick-Hotels-M40-J15-Warwick-Hotel.h10444.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton Manchester Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manchester-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Manchester-Airport.h26104.Hotel-Information) > > [Urban Beach Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bournemouth-Hotels-Urban-Beach-Hotel.h2814369.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton Stoke on Trent](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stoke-On-Trent-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Stoke-On-Trent.h6788.Hotel-Information) > > [OYO Rose & Crown Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Leyburn-Hotels-The-Rose-And-Crown-Hotel.h24280597.Hotel-Information) > > [The White Swan Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Leyburn-Hotels-The-White-Swan-Hotel.h33444336.Hotel-Information) > > [Pine Lake Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Carnforth-Hotels-Pine-Lake-Resort.h1928661.Hotel-Information) > > [Northlands Farm & Lakes](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chichester-Hotels-Northlands-Farm-Lakes-Premium-Chalet-1.h37797465.Hotel-Information) > > [The Wheatsheaf Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Leyburn-Hotels-The-Wheatsheaf-Inn.h18370667.Hotel-Information) > > [Delta Hotels by Marriott Colchester](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Colchester-Hotels-Delta-Hotels-By-Marriott-Colchester.h14251.Hotel-Information) > > [Ox Hotel Manchester](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manchester-Hotels-Milton-Manchester-Hotel.h18787802.Hotel-Information) > > [Makeney Hall Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Belper-Hotels-Makeney-Hall-Hotel.h1206529.Hotel-Information) ---
