Very nice house in a great location needs a little bit of updating ie freshening up paint work etc . Also only 2 dishwasher tablets in the cupboard so had to buy some could do with an extra frying pan .Show heads need descaling and the bathrooms given an extra clean the house has plenty of room and the balcony is nice but could do with eight matching outdoor chairs rather then just six and two more which weren’t very comfy it’s a shame the back garden isn’t habitable as that would be a great bonus. Great walk into town and a nice pub at the beginning of the road.

We stayed at High Trees for 4 nights. To say we were lucky to have rented this property would be an understatement. It was a fabulous house, everything we would need was there including a lift as one of our party is partially disabled. The house was very spacious and clean and met the needs of seven adults and our dog Sophie. The bedrooms were more than ample, each with their own bathrooms It is ideally situated on the banks of the river Nidd and there are numerous walks around without using a car. There were two faults that we found, the light in the utility room didn’t work and the disabled ramp needed repairing, we got in touch with Steve the owner and he came and repaired them the next day. Would we stay here again, you bet we can’t wait to book it again. It’s a pity there’s only room for 5 * it should be at least 10*

Eight friends shared this holiday home. It was very well equipped especially in the kitchen. The lift is a very welcome amenity. It is very spacious. Also nice touch that there were several bottles of wine in the wine rack that could be used and replaced by guests. We managed to park 4 cars on the drive (just). The mattress in the downstairs bedroom needs replacing as you can feel the springs. The back garden is not really useable. It would be a good idea to pave it and maybe add some seating and a bbq.. We enjoyed our stay and it was good value for money.
