Guests say
Myrtle Cottage is highly praised for its well-equipped nature, cosy atmosphere, and excellent location for walks and local amenities. Guests appreciate the thoughtful touches, including welcome gifts, and find the property clean and well-maintained. Some concerns about parking and privacy in the garden are noted, but overall experiences are very positive.
The cottage receives high marks for cleanliness, with numerous guests commenting on its immaculate condition. One mention of the bathroom being 'a bit filthy round edges' slightly impacts the score.
The location is celebrated for its proximity to walks and scenery, with a good local pub and shop. Some guests found the parking challenging and the lane busy at times, but the location is generally regarded as excellent.
Comfort is consistently highlighted, with guests finding the cottage cosy and welcoming. The log burner is a favourite feature, although one guest suggested additional heating for chilly mornings.
Facilities are well-regarded, with the cottage being described as well-equipped and thoughtfully arranged. Some guests experienced issues with parking and desired better dining arrangements, which slightly affects the score.
Guests frequently mention welcome gifts and the provision of useful information, indicating a high level of thoughtfulness. However, as gifts are not guaranteed and one guest did not find the welcome pack, the score reflects this.
About this property
A stone-built, terraced cottage located on the outskirts of the pretty little Wensleydale village of West Witton. Skilfully renovated, the property is cosy and warm and full of character and charm with a real Dales personality. There are two bedrooms; the double has a warm and welcoming atmosphere, whilst the single is cosy and stylish, and both are served by a modern shower room. This West Witton cottage features a spacious living room, complete with a cosy woodburner and original oak beams, offering an ideal place to curl up by the fire and look forward to the evenings fare after a day out on the nearby fells. The modern kitchen, equipped with every home-from-home convenience, leads to an enclosed rear area with raised decking, complete with garden furniture, barbecue area and panoramic views of Pen Hill, the highest point in Wensleydale. This delightful West Witton cottage has several walks leading from the door, including the challenging Pen Hill and walks across the moor to Carlton in Coverdale. The historic market town of Richmond is just a short drive away with its interesting castle, theatre, military museum and wonderful architecture. The popular Wensleydale town of Leyburn can also be found within a short drive, offering a choice of tea rooms, quaint gift shops and convenience stores, and provides the entrance to the stunning Wensleydale countryside, with its green rolling hills and dry stone walls providing shelter for the thousands of iconic Yorkshire sheep that graze on the hillsides. Aysgarth Falls, Semerwater and Hardraw Force, England's highest single drop waterfall, are also all within easy reach of your West Witton cottage. An ideal West Witton cottage and a perfect romantic retreat for those wishing to enjoy fine country living, beautiful walks and the tranquillity of this Dales location.
The pretty, ancient Wensleydale village of West Witton is situated in the Yorkshire Dales National Park, between Leyburn and Hawes. A traditional old village made up of stone-built cottages and farmhouses, West Witton enjoys dramatic views of Penhill and its limestone scars, along with Bolton Castle, lush rolling countryside and the surrounding fells.

Great communications from the owner and the cottage was immaculately cleaned and maintained. No issues during our stay and we hope to get the chance to return.
