  Absolutely adore this cottage!

  …it is a proper quirky, characteristic place, great for 2 people and 2 little dogs, the stairs, yes!, the stairs are traditional stone steps, so you have to take extra care, not an issue for us, but may be for the less able, low beams and door ways, you WILL hit your head if you are 6ft!, ( I’m Tiny, I loved the charm of the beams, partner hit his head a few times!), we got lots of use from the log burner as we attended in March, cottage warms up nice and toasty, beds comfy, huge big lounge with comfy sofa, everything was clean and welcoming, a well stocked kitchen, owners called by on the Saturday to say hi, a welcome pack of a lovely cake, milk and treats for the dogs, ( thank you) the area is great for exploring, sadly the pub 1 minute from the cottage has closed down, but there’s others in the village, local spar 2 mins walk, ( great shop) a couple of take aways, chippy etc, so excellent base, the only slight negative I can say is the internet needs up grading as it couldn’t cope with a laptop and phone logged to it, the walls are so thick 4g couldn’t get through them so had to go out side to use phone with data….100% recommend beehive cottage for a break away, would’ve loved to see the history/ story of the building and the renovation that was done, if the owner has these, please pop the story in the welcome pack…special mention to Goat Gap Cafe, best dog friendly cafe we’ve been in!…

  Firstly I cannot fault the cottage itself, it was lovely and had all the equipment etc you could need.

  However, the listing fails to mention that the 'dirt' road the cottage is on is very busy with both vehicular traffic and also footfall. There is a constant stream of cars going past the property as well as people and the cottage is very close to the path so this is happening right outside the window which I felt really disrupted your privacy, I did not feel private at all. To make matters worse there is currently a construction site a matter of feet away from the cottage which meant there were things such as tractors transporting building materials like roof supports backwards and forwards again right outside the cottage window, I have pictures of this. This work started at around 7.30 in the morning so I was woken early each day and found it impossible to relax and enjoy the peaceful and stress free holiday I had been so desperately looking forward to due to the continuous noise and the cars which I felt were speeding by the cottage. Unfortunately due to all of these factors I felt I had to leave the cottage early and cut my holiday short and I found it so stressful and noisy, not at all the peaceful retreat I was looking forward to. I have booked quite a few holidays through Sykes and I have never had an issue like this before and never felt the need to cut my holiday short. I would really appreciate a response on this feedback, kind regards, Miss Karen Walker

  Our stay at Beehive Cottage in High Bentham was nothing short of magical.

  This charming stone cottage offered the perfect base for exploring the breathtaking Yorkshire Dales. High Bentham is ideally situated for those eager to walk Three Peaks. Beyond the peaks, we found attractions just a short drive away, including Bolton Abbey and Malham Cove. Over the week, we walked 100 kilometres through some of the most picturesque landscapes in the Dales. Beehive Cottage is a gem. The stone building exudes character, beautifully blending traditional charm with modern comforts. Every detail in the cottage has been thoughtfully designed, making it not only visually appealing but also practical. The cottage is fully equipped with everything you might need for a comfortable and convenient stay. From the cosy living areas to the well-appointed kitchen, every aspect of Beehive Cottage contributed to a truly memorable holiday. If you're looking for a delightful retreat in the Yorkshire Dales, Beehive Cottage in High Bentham is the perfect choice. We left feeling rejuvenated and already planning our next visit!

  Fox Cottage is set in a peaceful and beautiful location yet within short car journey to a lovely village pub and shops in Settle. It's simple structure blends well into the hillside and the open plan interior is both stylish and comfortable. Light streams in through the large patio windows and the views are amazing. A curious hare came up on the patio to gaze in at us on the first evening.The kitchen area was fully equipped with good quality appliances, tools, spices, washing machine and dishwasher tablets etc. The second bedroom was able to be made up into a twin bedded room. We didn't use the outside gas B B Q, but it looked very impressive. Plenty of outdoor seating to relax on. Toweling robes were provided for the hot tub and sauna, both of which were amazing. An outside dog shower and towel was by the front door.. The weather was great but even had not been, there are board games, books, television, wifi etc. and Fox Cottage itself helped to make our holiday so special, we had a lovely time.

  Fabulous cottage with a large enclosed garden, perfect for enjoying a barbecue or glass of wine.

  Welcome hamper much appreciated contained milk, eggs, bread and biscuits and also dog treats for our lab. I was a little worried about reviews stating off road parking is quite small but we managed with a large estate car. I was also worried about the low beams as my husband is quite tall, and yes he did forget to duck occasionally but such a pretty period cottage. Living room a little dark but so cosy with a log burner and inglenook lighting. The rest of the cottage bright and airy and well equipped and the bed was so comfortable. I liked the small gated front courtyard as we could leave the front door open all the time and the dog couldn't get out. He loved the stone floors to keep him cool. Location excellent, in middle of High Bentham which is well served with pubs, cafes and shops and also for local walks from the doorstep. Perfect base for exploring the Dales. Would definitely recommend.
