Ghyll View is a stunning cottage in a beautiful little village. Everything you could possibly need is provided! The attention to detail is incredible. Decor is beautiful and in keeping with the style of cottage. The ensuite bathroom is beautiful, lovely large shower, and a beautiful roll top bath with views through the velux window. The village pub does a lovely Sunday roast, and is a great place for refreshment after a walk in the beautiful surroundings. The local chickens provide daily entertainment too!

This was our 2nd time at Ghyll View. The cottage was equipped with everything we needed plus more. A luxury welcome basket was waiting for us. (Thank you). We were blessed to have 2 weeks of sunshine, so the garden was used quite a bit. Perfect for chilling in the peace and tranquillity of the dales. The pizza van on a Thursday evening and fish and chips van on a Friday evening were a nice treat. We would definitely stay again.

We have self-catered for many many years and the lovely Ghyll View is one of the exceptional cottages we have had the pleasure of enjoying. The attention to detail and thought that has gone into thinking of everything guests need to make a perfect holiday is outstanding. This is a beautiful cottage in a lovely location. The garden is also lovely. The loft en suite in the main bedroom is stunning! We had a fantastic week in Ghyll View and will most certainly be re-booking next year. A lovely cottage to return to. There are wonderful walks from the door - and the walk to the lovely Kings Head village pub is also a huge plus! Lovely food there. We cannot recommend Ghyll View too highly.
