Guests say
Lavender Cottage in Leyburn is cherished for its stunning views, historical charm, and excellent location for exploring the Yorkshire Dales. Guests appreciate the clean, well-equipped property, cosy ambiance, and local amenities including pubs and shops. While some mention challenges with parking and access, the overall experience is highly regarded for its tranquillity and proximity to nature.
The cottage is consistently described as spotlessly clean, with guests noting the thoroughness of COVID measures. The high standard of cleanliness contributes significantly to the comfort and enjoyment of the stay.
The location is praised for its magical setting, proximity to local amenities, and access to walks in the Dales. However, some concerns about parking and accessibility for those with mobility issues slightly affect the score.
Guests find the cottage cosy and the bed comfortable, with an open fire adding to the charm. However, some mention the property can be cold and the seating could be more comfortable, which slightly lowers the score.
The cottage is well-equipped with modern conveniences and broadband, though some guests suggest improvements such as better heating and a proper shower setup. The presence of an open fire and quality bedding are positives.
While guests mention thoughtful touches like a pint of milk in the fridge and coal provided for the fire, there is not enough consistent information about gifts or additional thoughtful gestures to accurately score this category.

An outstanding Grade II listed terraced cottage, in a quiet position near the centre of the beautiful Dales village of Askrigg. With outstanding views of the surrounding area, this lovingly-restored Askrigg cottage is warm and snug, beautifully furnished to a high standard and retaining many of the original features including a cast iron open fire, window shutters, beams and exposed stonework. Featuring an open plan ground floor living area with modern, well equipped kitchen, a cosy sitting area, window seat and original open fire, this Askrigg cottage makes a wonderful year-round base. The stairs lead up to a lovely romantic bedroom with feature fireplace and cast iron bed.
The bathroom includes a cast iron bath, making this delightful Askrigg cottage a great romantic retreat. Outside this Askrigg cottage is a shared, south-facing lawned garden area with wonderful far-reaching views. Accessed through the ancient churchyard and only a stone’s throw from the centre of the village, this is an ideal location for that much-promised break in the country, with the added value of a thriving community on the doorstep. Askrigg offers three pubs serving food, a bakery and deli, two tea rooms, a village shop and newsagents and a Post Office. The area provides an array of interesting walks and excellent biking opportunities, and is ideally placed for exploring this beautiful corner of the Yorkshire Dales National Park.
Wensleydale is one of the most beautiful of the Yorkshire Dales and there are fabulous walks from the doorstep to Aysgarth and the lovely falls. This is a great location, from the castles at Bolton and Middleham, to nearby Hawes with its famous cheese factory and lovely market. This truly is an Askrigg cottage with everything to ensure that you have a relaxing break in this quiet and unspoilt corner of the county.
