  Good standard of fittings and furnishings, towels and sheets good quality etc.

  Plenty of crockery and cutlery. Good location, village is lovely with walks from the door for us and our dog. Hare and Hounds pub a few minutes walk was dog friendly and served good food. The village is centrally located with easy access to Skipton, Malham and lots of lovely areas in the dales. Furniture comfortable and showers great. We did feel there were negatives to the property which could easily be resolved. Having paid over £1100 for one week, we thought it was very poor not to get a welcome pack ~ even a pint of milk and a packet of biscuits would have been a gesture! The back gravel yard was full of weeds, I couldn’t stand it and pulled most out from round the garden furniture so we could sit out. There were no cloths left to clean the outside furniture of the bird poo, and no kitchen roll we could use. The first set of stairs had no bannister rail which proved slightly problematic for one of our party. The skylights on the top floor need a really good clean round the frames, dried up flies and dirt kept dropping out when the wind blew. There were no instructions for things like the washer/drier, changing the gas bottles (which we had to guess to do) and also for the boiler (which we also had an issue with and had to Google how to repressurise). It was nice to have hand wash left in the bathrooms, but 2 of them were virtually empty. No washing up liquid or cloths and only 2 dishwasher tablets left. The kitchen waste bin had a lid with a handle so you had to wash hands every time you put something in the bin. Overall we were pleased with the property but felt the owners could do better given the luxury price tag. I accept this is self catering but we have been to properties for half this price and been better provided for.

  The property itself was really nice.

  No expense spared. The surroundings were beautiful and it was amazing to see little lambs in the field next door. Walks from the door and nice area to explore. Really nice walks within short driving distances too. Some cracking little pubs nearby too. Not quite within walking distance but driveable. Made a friend with the owners dog he is amazing! A few items to be aware of if you plan on visiting. The road upto the cottage is very rough. If you have a small car you will struggle. I have an AWD and I was surprised I didn't damage my car going up and down it. Bring your own basic condiments such as salt, pepper, cooking oil, foil etc otherwise all washing and dishwasher items are supplied. Heating is controlled by the owner via an app. The actual control is abit tricky to override if you don't know how to use it and unless you have the fire going you won't feel the affects of underfloor heating. The owner in future should explain to people staying how you override it. There was no welcome pack. Need to supply a book as of yet there isn't anything with any guidance or instructions. The property would also benefit from a key safe so that on departure you can leave your key safely. The owner wasn't there when we left on the morning so we had to leave it with next door. With some minor tweaks and improvements this place would be perfect.

  The Piggery is a lovely cottage.

  The cottage is set on a hill outside the village of East Morton on a farm. After a bone rattling car ride up the track the view from the cottage is amazing. Inside there is a utility room with laundry facilities and second loo. The kitchen has everything you need and the owners had left us some milk and eggs. The lounge is very comfy and has a smart TV. We didn’t find the TV that easy to control as the remote is very sensitive! The bedroom has plenty of storage and the bed is comfy. There is a nice en suite with walk in shower. We were fortunate to have sunny weather when we were there and the bedroom gets very hot as there is only one opening window. We could have opened the bedroom door and let the air through from the lounge but we don’t like the dog in the bedroom so we had the door shut. So maybe a fan would be welcomed? The garden was fine for our dog- it’s not enclosed but our dog just pottered about the grassy area in front. All in all a lovely place to sit with a g&t and watch the wildlife - we saw housemartins, red kites, buzzards, an owl, pheasants and a kestrel. We’d definitely go back. A visitors book would be good for people to leave tips for places to visit& eat out etc . We had day trips to Ilkley, Grassington, Bolton Abbey and a walk along the canal at Five Rise Locks.

  We had a wonderful week here in March!

  We were greeted by the owner who was really friendly and welcoming! Our year old Springer was immediately at home with plenty of space to run around and was welcomed with a pack of dog biscuits! The cottage is beautiful and had everything we needed and more, it was a real home from home. Probably the only things I could think to add would be a separate bin for recycling and an information pack! When we had an issue with the heating, it was immediately rectified even though it was into the evening! We were able to walk out from the cottage and explore the surrounding area and just at the bottom of the lane we had a lovely meal in the local pub which is alongside a great community shop! The views from the cottage are so beautiful, and sitting with coffee in the morning and a glass of wine late afternoon admiring them, meant that we went home totally relaxed! A week just didn’t feel long enough so we will definitely be going back!

  We rented the property over new year (4 Adults, 3 Children and 2 dogs) and we could not have been happier.

  The cottage is extremely well equipped, clean, plenty of space for us all to sit together for breakfast, play games and relax in front of the TV. The bedrooms are all good sizes, with comfortable beds. Bathrooms are modern and plenty of hot water. Another plus to this property is the pub 2 minutes down the road, the food is excellent and the service was very friendly - we were there every night, the menu is extensive! The aim of the break was to get out in the fresh air and the surrounding area did not disappoint. We walked directly from the property everyday, walks are over a mix of terrains, varying in distances and climb but all very enjoyable, especially the views. The property had some great walking books that we used to get ideas. We would not hesitate to recommend the property and would certainly look to book again ourselves.
