Topham's Laithe makes a very pleasant, comfortable and well-equipped base for a holiday in Wharfedale and around, with good views along across the dale from the dining table, kitchen and bedroom. Conistone is a charming, unspoiled and quiet little village, conveniently close to - but well-insulated from - the main road along the dale on the far side of the river. Host Abigail Shaw (who lives next door) is absolutely exemplary: welcoming and helpful without being intrusive. We'll certainly go back when we next want a holiday in the area.

Loved this cottage, brilliant location and hosts. Very welcoming and beautiful views. Homely, cosy and peaceful. Easy drive to Grassington and further into the Dales. Would definitely come again to this cottage stay.

This is the best equipped cottage we have ever stayed in. Comfortable beds and a relaxing sitting room with the superbly equipped kitchen make this an ideal place to stay and explore the Yorkshire Dales. Location is superb with great views of Wharfedale and lovely walks from the doorstep. Try the family fishing experience at Kilnsey Park, our 7 year old grandson caught his first trout (and ate some of it!) - he is now 'hooked'!
