What our customers say about their holidays

  This was our second holiday in the last 12 months at Little Bower.

  We love it. The cottage is very comfortable, clean and cosy. It is ideal for a retired active couple such as ourselves. It is perfectly situated being just off the main street of Hawes and next to all facilities such as groceries etc. This is especially important to us as we do not own a car and travel to Hawes by train and then the excellent Little White Bus service fetching and taking us to the remote Garsdale train station at the start and end of our holiday. We were very impressed by how friendly, helpful and efficient the cottage owner's daughter was in sorting a problem with the water heating after our arrival. It was fixed by sorting the timer promptly the very next morning by their appointed tradesman. This was at no inconvenience to ourselves as, by arrangement the tradesman could access the cottage without us needing to be there. This was very helpful to us as we had planned to take the early bus to Leyburn for a day out and enjoyed a lovely day there. We have been holidaying at Hawes for over 30 years and for most of that time we came with our touring caravan and our 2 boys and stayed at the Brown Moor site. They are now in their late 30s and have their own families and we no longer have a caravan. We intend to come back twice each year and look forward to spending these breaks at the Little Bower.

  We felt for the value we paid for the 2 nights that such a late check in and such an early check out doesn't merit the value of the cost.

  There was only one other small pod in use and the housekeeping had completed the cleaning of that by 10.30am. Especially in the off peak week day season these could be adjusted slightly. Going by that example we could've had more time in our pod on our entry and exit days. It was very nice to have the cookies, coffee and tea etc however there was no milk so these were somewhat unusable until we had to travel back to Ingleton to get milk. We had a short power cut which was resolved very quickly by the owners which was appreciated. Overall a beautiful location, pods were modern, clean and well set up. I would put these in the 4 star bracket but little things such as milk or even small toiletries would have made the difference to make it a 5 star to us. Highly recommend for a quiet staycation with plenty of walks and a great pub 3/4 mile walk under Ribblehead Viaduct. Great video of pods on Instagram under Sykescottages

  It is a cosy cottage for two and dogs small garden but very nice and pretty secure. Very comfortable lounge area and nicely furnished.kitchen has everything you could want and more.Bedroom was lovely and one of the most comfortable beds I’ve slept in really lovely sheets and duvet and towels bathroom was very clean as was the rest of the cottage.Wonderful welcome pack really appreciated thank you.Now for the only down side it is on a fairly busy main road and the front door opens directly on to this and your only parking option is in a lay-by 100mtrs up the road makes it a little awkward loading and unloading people and dogs but I’m happy to say we managed quite well.Having said all that we thoroughly enjoyed our weeks stay in a fantastic part of the country.Sorry for the negatives just being honest ♥️

  I was given information from Sykes on contacting the owner for the key code number for our stay.

  The day before we contacted via the number only to find that the person on the end of the phone was in CYPRUS I was charged 65p as this was made outside my plan and I was unaware. She rang her mother to sort it out. Needless to say I am not happy. Please can things like this be ironed out. The window in the bedroom was twisted and could not close properly so we had a towel stuffed to stop the draft. There was no heating in that room. I have been advised that this has been addressed but not sure if anyone checks. Please could this be passed onto the owners of the Little Bower and make sure they are NOT OUT OF THE COUNTRY when visitors have been given this contact. It certainly taints my use of Sykes as a means of booking a cottage.

  We had an absolutely fantastic stay at Beck House. We were blown away by the beautiful surroundings and amazing walks on the doorstep. We unfortunately only had two nights to play with but we could have easily stayed for a week. A perfect spot to escape our busy lives and base to explore the incredible Yorkshire Dales. We had our dog, Watson, and our 6 month old son with us. Although a short stay, we have some perfect memories that will stay with us forever. We also managed to coincide our stay with very low temperatures (reaching -7 on the first night). The wood burning stove kept us cosy for the entire duration. I would highly recommend Beck House for an escape and base to explore the dales - Thankyou!
