  Could you tell me when Sykes last visited this property for yous to claim it is a 4 star property.

  Out of coutesy i emailed the landlord before I replied to your request for a review. My contact number is This is the Email i have sent to the landlord 5 days ago without response. Arriving at the cottage we came into a lovely spacious and comfortable first floor . The small lobby had a dog bowl and towels that was very pleasing for our dog Poppy. The kitchen was spotless with all the updated mod cons anyone could wish for. A bottle of red wine from the owners was a lovely touch. A nice dining table to eat from was also amust. Entering the spacious spottless sitting room found a very comfortable area where you could sit and relax with TV and internet connection which was excellent. However it goes very quickly downhill when going downstairs to the Bedrooms and Bathrooms. Your senses were blasted by lots of plug in airfreshners, reed defusers and random smellies and a plethara of disposable moisture de humiders. Unfortunitly this could not come close to masking the smell of damp. Undetered we ventured downstairs to find nice beds and bedrooms and well appointed spotless bathrooms and shower. Together with lovely clean fresh towels. Trying not to let the smell of damp spoil things we went for a walk and a bite to eat which was more than pleasant. The next morning found the sheets feeling dampish and the overwheming stench of damp. After 2 days our clothes in the wardrobes and the drawers smelt damp and mouldy thus we brought our clothes upstairs and put them all on the kitchen table. We tried another night in bed but the smell of damp became too overwhelming. We managed another night on the sofa but we had enough on the Tuesday morning and we returned home instead of coming home on the Friday which we had paid for.

  The cottage is situated in a beautiful position within the village.

  However, we could not describe our stay as comfortable. The old Leather sofa bed/settee was really uncomfortable, the cushions would have given some support, but they were flat and seemed to be lacking any inner pads, the cushions were also marked and dirty. The downstairs was quite dark too. The kitchen was adequate but the cooker was sooooooo slow in heating up, we gave up cooking one night. There needs to be an investment within the property to bring it anywhere near comfortable. The bathroom was peculiar, with a window which was difficult to open, and in a unusual location. There was a bath and a mixer tap, with no hook to hold the spray head in place, to shower? Also zero shower screen or curtain, so water went everywhere! The bedroom was spacious, sadly again the bed uncomfortable, with little luxury to describe. All in all, a disappointing stay in terms of comfort. It's definitely not home from home, more TLC needs to be added to the cottage. Outdoor chairs, a welcome pack of goodies too, fresh flowers on arrival. After a 6 hour journey, half a pint of milk was less than adequate. We would not return to this property, but we would stay in Askrigg again. It's a wonderful location and village.

  We had a truly wonderful stay at Lavender Cottage It was everything we had hoped for Cosy quaint and full of Yorkshire charm The cottage was very well equipped and had everything we needed We stayed just before Christmas and the owner had decorated it and it made us feel very Christmassy We were sent a very informative email prior to our stay with lots of useful information including places of interest to visit The area around Wensleydale is absolutely beautiful and most places were very dog friendly The village had three lovely pubs serving very good food and all very friendly and dog friendly which was great We were made to feel very welcome and we had a lovely time Very restful but also some stunning scenery to take in on our walks The whole area is steeped in history from castles to historic market towns and beautiful old pubs and breathtaking waterfalls I would highly recommend a visit to this beautiful part of Yorkshire and Lavender Cottage in the gorgeous Yorkshire Dales Penny and Carl Atvarnieks

  Due to COVID we were one year late arriving.

  This also turned out to be the wettest week of the year so far (beyond anyone’s control) We always found a parking space outside the Church gates and yes it is a bit of a hike through the church yard with your luggage but well worth it. Have walked much further in some Hotels or Airports. The cottage itself was spotlessly clean, all COVID measures taken and well equipped. There are an enormous amount if DVD,s to watch and the Broadband connection is excellent. The bedding and towels provided we’re of excellent quality. The only slight downside to the cottage was it was very cold at times as only two radiator heaters and fan heater in bathroom. You can light a coal fire but as we had done this for over 40 years we decided not to do so. The weather was unseasonably cold during our stay. This is an excellent base for touring The Dales and the scenery is out of this world. Askrigg is a beautiful unspoilt village and has pubs a shop and a fresh takeaway bakery. A very enjoyable stay

  The only reason I haven,t put exceeded expectations, is that mobile phone coverage in the village is very poor and the cottage doesn,t have WiFi.

  that maybe a good thing or a bad thing, depending on your point of view. I thought it was great. ( the local pub has WiFi ). Both my wife and I thought the cottage was lovely and will certainly consider staying there again, the only real grumble we had was that there was no where to sit outside on some of those nice warm nights. It was only a problem because our dog had seriously cut her paw the day before we left for our holiday and was,nt allowed to walk more than a few yards, which is a bit of a blow on a walking holiday, we were all stir crazy by the end of the week. Bainbridge is a beautiful little village with a marvellous sense of community. There is only one pub in the village, the staff are very friendly and the food excellent, there is also a small café/bakery which is well worth a visit. they do a good range of sandwiches, ideal if you,re going off walking for the day. We are both looking forward to re visiting this area and exploring those places we saw but had to drive past.
