  Beautiful pod Beautiful area The pod was clean and well looked after, but there was a few things that could be done, 1.

  it is advertised with a hot tub, this is actually an small hot tub which they don’t turn and you could only use once a day as they needed to empty it and put fresh hot water in - they said there’s no bubbles or anything it’s not a jacuzzi just a hot tub , very disappointed by that as we wanted to sit and relax in it throughout the day as well as night - not sit in a glorified bath tub while the water quickly goes cold in the cold weather! We paid extra for this property to others we were looking at as it was meant to have a hot tub. 2. As we couldn’t access the hot tub and the weather was bad we had to stay in, the internet access was very hit and miss 3. Kitchen equipment was a little lacking and the oven was a combo oven/ microwave and you can’t for much in 4. The bedding was clean and freshly put on, but it smelt of fried food as the kitchen and bed are next to each so maybe take some fabreeze to use before you go to sleep 5. lack of bins, we tidy up after ourselves and the pods are at the back of a tea room / house and there are no allocated bins and at one point there was no bins at all for 2 days, we was nervous about using the bins at the house as we was unsure if they were for their property or joint use? The pod is lovely and if the weather is nice and you like being out all day it would probably be a lovely stay, but I definitely wouldn’t be returning or recommending it to anyone.

  We stayed for one week in January 2022.

  The cottage is located in a lovely, quiet cul-de-sac and the owners were lovely with excellent communication and were very helpful. The cottage itsself is brand new, beautifully furnished to a high quality & well finished. It felt very homely and we loved our stay with our 8 month old (who also loved it). The welcome pack was unexpected but wonderful and we were pleased that the kitchen utensils lacked nothing that we needed. The owners provided us with a high chair and cot for the baby, both of which were of a good quality and new. The bed was very comfortable and the shower had great water pressure. Also for a night in, there were loads of available TV channels and streaming options. We actually took turns working home office from the cottage during our week and had no issues with Internet, so the connection is superb. Also the kitchen high table worked very well for this. Cowling we found charming and there were loads of walks to do straight from the front door, even with a pram. The local pub was friendly and in the welcome book there's a very well prepared list of restaurants / take-away options which we used. Parking is directly outside and very easy. Overall we loved our stay and look forward to coming back.

  The good: - Great location for Malham and the Pennine Way - Lots of space in living areas and two of the bedrooms - Clean The bad: - Lacking some basics (scissors in the kitchen; saucepans big enough to cook basics for 4) - Very small and compromised bathrooms - In poor state of repair in places (large glass shower door held on with silicone, and fell off; bad smell from drains; TVs in bedrooms not working) - Layout of outdoor space leads to a total lack of privacy in garden (which is shared with the neighbouring cottage). For example, the Hot Tub is placed just a few feet from the one belonging to the neighbouring cottage, meaning no privacy if the neighbours use theirs at the same time. (Especially so if you have neighbours who spend their time smoking, drinking, swearing, shouting and arguing in the hot tub!) We eventually cut our stay short and came home a day early. The owner did offer a partial refund, reflecting some of these issues, but this has never materialised and he has since stopped answering messages asking him to honour his promises.

  Location was beautiful, with great views and lots of local walks. It is remote, so a car is required for days out, and the local roads are often single track with passing places. The accommodation was a bit cramped for five adults. Three bath / shower rooms have been squeezed in, but the layouts are poor. One shower room is tiny, and to get to the basin in the main bathroom you have to squeeze through a gap between the bath and the toilet. Small changes would make a difference such as bins and mirrors in each of the bedrooms. Kitchen was well equipped, but we did have issues with the microwave (blew up and had to be replaced!) and the electricity tripping and being unable to find the fuse box. We added a note to the info folder for future holiday makers.

  What a wonderful place to stay !

  Lots of walks on the doorstep, 1000 years of history within easy reach. An immaculate little cottage, just right for the two of us for a week away. Met by the owner Joanne, who was attentive to our needs but never intrusive. The cottage has everything that you could need and is newly fitted with an abundance of brand new appliances. Spotlessly clean and tidy throughout. Huge comfy bed, little patio for sunny days, fully fitted kitchen and bathroom. The local area is great and there are good restaurants/pubs within very easy reach (no more than 4 miles) so we never went hungry .. very friendly pub about 400m away that where we were made so welcome after our first 8 mile local walk. I would 100% recommend this cottage !
