  What an absolute find in a gorgeous setting away from everyone!

  We loved it - our new home in the Dales! Service was spot on (thanks Jerry) and the cottage was as advertised. Lovely hamper packed with goodies when we arrived - and bread, bacon and fizz in the fridge too. When we needed a lighter and more firelighters for the fire we had them pretty much immediately. Cottage was clean to a high standard and literally everything we would need to enjoy the week in complete peace. The only drawbacks would be (and these are minor as some are just my preference): The very soft mattress which was not good for an aging back like mine - and the space between the mattress and bed in the main bedroom was a bit bigger than expected. A new mop bucket needed - there was a crack in the top which made it difficult to wring the mop out! Additionally the front door was difficult to close properly but Jerry was aware and in the process of changing this - similarly with one of the windows in the main area, water came in when the heavy rain hit and he is aware of this too. Our dogs loved the place and they are a large breed. Perfect setting for them but perhaps some sort of mat from the courtyard into the main bedroom to ensure carpets are not ruined. We took lots of towels to dry their feet etc but in the end didn't let them out that way just to be on the safe side! We will definitely return as soon as we can! A home from home for sure! The perfect setting to really get away from everything and get back to nature!

  Lovely comfortable beds, good white goods in kitchen (dishwasher, washing machine, oven, fridge and freezer), good range of crockery, cutlery and pans.

  Smart TV with ability for prime, Netflix, but sometimes TV unresponsive to remote control which was frustrating. Wi-Fi great and I managed to work remotely which was a great help. Great log burner and thank you for complementary wood and coal, a life saver as some of the room heaters didn’t work properly (the one in the super king room didn’t come on at all, the upstairs bathroom one didn’t work at all, the one in the king room was inconsistent,either cool or bakingly hot!) Towels very fluffy but bedding, although comfortable didn’t feel particularly freshly laundered. Disappointing that parking was not directly outside the property, although only a short walk behind on a main road. Owners very responsive to questions, although I felt they were irritated in their response when I asked if there was the option for a change of bedding for the super king (as it didn’t smell very fresh).

  Lovely accommodation in a beautiful village.

  The cottage is extremely comfortable and the bed is huge. We slept so well while we were there and were not our normal early risers! The kitchen, whilst being petit and bijou, is well stocked with equipment and cooking was a pleasure unlike in some properties we've stayed in. I would definitely recommend that you take your own provisions as supplies in the local convenience store are very limited and the closest supermarkets are a bit of a trek away (there is a large fridge/freezer in the property). The Lister Arms was a wonderful, cosy dog friendly bolthole for a drink or a meal at the end of the day (it is very popular and booking is advisable if you want to eat there even mid-week) and would recommend the coffee shop in the village for breakfast, lunch or coffee and cake. The farm shop a couple of miles away also does a fab breakfast.

  What an amazing holiday cottage.

  It had everything we needed for a comfortable and peaceful stay in the Yorkshire Dales. Open fire, comfy bed and a well equipped kitchen/storeroom. Plenty of information and excellent WiFi throughout the house. Starbotton has a friendly staffed pub serving food and ales and Cecilias does a fantastic rustic Italian style pizza. Buckden and KettleWell are within a two mile riverside walk. The Wensleydale Creamery, where you can taste test over 30 different cheeses for free is in the village of Hawes which is approx 15miles away. It also has a cheese making demonstration, cafe and gift shop. There are plenty of walks for you and the dog if you have one including Buckden Pike and the lead mine. I can’t wait to stay here again!

  We booked all 3 properties together for a getaway with friends and had the best stay on Grimwith Reservoir.

  The properties themselves were spotless on arrival, and exactly as described on the listing. Jerry was very helpful and always on hand if we had any questions or wanted advice, and also got the hot tubs nice and hot for our arrival. We had everything we needed already there meaning we only had to bring clothes, food and drink, and the welcome hamper was also a nice touch. The location itself is amazing with a nice walking route around the reservoir and also longer routes to nearby villages where we found some great local pubs, shops and takeaways. This is my second time visiting this property and definitely won’t be the last. It really does cater for all and cannot recommend it enough!
