Guests that stayed at this property said
The cottage received mixed feedback on cleanliness. Some guests found it spotless and very clean, while others noted areas that could have been cleaner. The presence of cobwebs and dust in some reviews suggests room for improvement.
The location is generally well-regarded, being close to local attractions and offering good access to the Yorkshire Dales. However, some guests expressed concerns about the busy road and traffic speed, which affected the score slightly.
Guests found the cottage comfortable, with a cosy atmosphere and a comfortable bed. However, comments about dated furnishings and the lack of an upstairs bathroom suggest that comfort could be enhanced.
Facilities like the well-equipped kitchen and secure garden were appreciated, but there were several mentions of maintenance issues such as a weak shower and the need for more powerful heating. Some guests also suggested the addition of Wi-Fi and more consistent kitchenware.
There is insufficient information to assess thoughtfulness as there are no mentions of gifts or special touches that would indicate the level of consideration for guests' experiences.

Main bedroom wasnât very appealing second bedroom had 2wardobes and a chair in it ,felt very creepy . The whole place appeared tired and needed some money spent on it . We felt we were unable to stay ,managed to find alternative accommodation elsewhere .had I been the landlord I would have put a bit of heat on to make it welcoming . The landlord also asked me if I could be economical with the heating as it was expensive to run ,â¹ï¸

.. A great cottage, that was warm and cosy in a wonderful location (an hour to many great locations and 10 mins to Harrogate, Ripon and Knaresborough), with view for miles, good dogs walks from the doorstep, a safe enclosed rear garden and off road parking. It had all the facilities you would expect in a holiday cottage. OK the shower is not very powerful, but was OK to shower / wash with, but for me this was offset by the homely feel of the place. I will definitely go back if I'm looking to stay in the area

Whilst the cottage was adequate for our needs there is scope for improvement with the shower having very little power and kitchen equipment e.g cutlery and crockery items not being consistent. Also whilst having a slow cooker available is great not having an oven tray for items such as frozen chips and other items was a nuisance. Despite the forgoing comments we did enjoy our two week stay there.
