Beehive Cottage is consistently praised for its charm, comfort, and cleanliness. Guests appreciate the thoughtful welcome packs, cosy wood burner, and dog-friendly amenities. Its location in High Bentham is ideal for exploring the Yorkshire Dales, with local pubs and shops within walking distance. The cottage's character, including low beams and stone stairs, adds to its appeal, though may require caution for taller guests or those with mobility issues.

    …it is a proper quirky, characteristic place, great for 2 people and 2 little dogs, the stairs, yes!, the stairs are traditional stone steps, so you have to take extra care, not an issue for us, but may be for the less able, low beams and door ways, you WILL hit your head if you are 6ft!, ( I’m Tiny, I loved the charm of the beams, partner hit his head a few times!), we got lots of use from the log burner as we attended in March, cottage warms up nice and toasty, beds comfy, huge big lounge with comfy sofa, everything was clean and welcoming, a well stocked kitchen, owners called by on the Saturday to say hi, a welcome pack of a lovely cake, milk and treats for the dogs, ( thank you) the area is great for exploring, sadly the pub 1 minute from the cottage has closed down, but there’s others in the village, local spar 2 mins walk, ( great shop) a couple of take aways, chippy etc, so excellent base, the only slight negative I can say is the internet needs up grading as it couldn’t cope with a laptop and phone logged to it, the walls are so thick 4g couldn’t get through them so had to go out side to use phone with data….100% recommend beehive cottage for a break away, would’ve loved to see the history/ story of the building and the renovation that was done, if the owner has these, please pop the story in the welcome pack…special mention to Goat Gap Cafe, best dog friendly cafe we’ve been in!…

    Exactly what we needed with beautiful stone floors and a fabulous wood burner. Totally dog friendly and lovely and toasty on a snowy weekend. We will be back, thank you so much Hazel.

    A tree and decorations round the beams were nice thoughtful touches as were the cake and doggie treats.The cottage is well equipped, clean and well presented. 3 pubs (Hogs and Heiffers the best IMO),2 cafes ,a butchers , bakery and a very good chippy within walking distance in the village.Also an open most hours Spar for anything you forget. The cottage is well located for visiting the Dale's, the Lakes or Morecambe Bay.
