Guests that stayed at this property said
Most guests found Snave Cottage to be very clean and well-maintained, contributing to a comfortable stay. However, a few mentioned issues with dust, cobwebs, and cleanliness not meeting their expectations, particularly given the current health context.
The cottage's location is consistently lauded for its beauty and tranquillity, offering stunning views and a peaceful atmosphere. It is described as secluded yet accessible, with plenty of local villages and towns nearby.
Guests frequently mention the comfort of the beds and the cosy, homely feel of the cottage. Some minor comments were made about the comfort of pillows and the need for grab rails in the bathrooms for older guests.
The facilities, including the hot tub and well-stocked kitchen, are generally praised. However, some guests experienced issues with the hot tub and suggested improvements in maintenance, such as fixing curtain rails and providing better instructions for the log burner.
While many guests were delighted with the welcome packs and the generous hamper, as these are complimentary and subject to change, they are not guaranteed for every stay. The thoughtfulness of the host and attention to detail in the property's amenities are well-regarded.

Warm, comfortable, clean cottage with generous welcome hamper and an amazing view over the reservoir. Couldn't have asked for more and exactly what we were after. Lovely walk around the reservoir right on the doorstep, keeping an eye out for the resident barn owls a highlight. If you're looking for a bit of peace and quiet and to get away from it all for a week, would definitely recommend staying here and hope to come back ourselves.

The hosts are easily contactable and incredibly helpful. The cottage is well stocked - theyâve thought of everything! Lots of fabulous walks to do from the door step. The charming Grassington and Pateley Bridge (both have EV chargers in their main car parks) are a short car journey away with lots of dog friendly cafes.

This was our 2nd time staying here. This time, we hired all 3 houses as a family get together. The welcome packs in each house were amazing, with everything you needed. Jerry was great, calling to check we had all got in ok, and there is we needed anything during our stay. Thankyou again, we will be back soon!
