What our customers say about their holidays

  The only reason I haven,t put exceeded expectations, is that mobile phone coverage in the village is very poor and the cottage doesn,t have WiFi.

  that maybe a good thing or a bad thing, depending on your point of view. I thought it was great. ( the local pub has WiFi ). Both my wife and I thought the cottage was lovely and will certainly consider staying there again, the only real grumble we had was that there was no where to sit outside on some of those nice warm nights. It was only a problem because our dog had seriously cut her paw the day before we left for our holiday and was,nt allowed to walk more than a few yards, which is a bit of a blow on a walking holiday, we were all stir crazy by the end of the week. Bainbridge is a beautiful little village with a marvellous sense of community. There is only one pub in the village, the staff are very friendly and the food excellent, there is also a small café/bakery which is well worth a visit. they do a good range of sandwiches, ideal if you,re going off walking for the day. We are both looking forward to re visiting this area and exploring those places we saw but had to drive past.

  The property is superb, very clean and has almost everything!

  There are three points I think are worth noting; 1, The double bed mattress needs replacing it has completely sunk. This was the most frustrating issue we had during our stay as not getting a good night sleep is a real shame and not reflective of the quality overall. 2, The small door which leads outside in the main bedroom needs a curtain over it as there is a draft coming through this door. During our stay the weather was very cold and windy.... perhaps when the weather is warmer this wouldn’t be so much of an issue. 3, If you take a dog it isn’t the most practical location as there isn’t a garden. Overall this is a superb holiday home, we had an amazing stay the village of Bainbridge is stunning.... the local pub Rose and Crown is friendly and serves ok food (not the cleanest of places) but there are many great places to eat nearby.

  Upon arrival at Anvil Barn we were impressed with the barn and how very clean it was.

  There was plenty of kitchen utensils, crockery, etc., it was well equipped for our stay. It is nicely decorated. If we do have any criticisms, it is that the kitchen tap is wobbly and probably could be replaced and the sofas in the sitting room are very low when you sit in them, for an older person or someone that suffers with a bad back then this might be an issue, however they are comfortable. The location is wonderful for a nice quiet holiday, Bainbridge is not huge, so no hustle and bustle of lots of tourists which is what we wanted. Anvil Barn is located in a great place to explore the dales, the lake district, York and Whitby. The local pub is a great place to meet some of the very friendly locals. We will return to Anvil Barn and have already recommended it to some of our friends.

  Truly amazing property to stay. Lovely and remote, in a tiny hamlet within the farm. Views up the hill out of the front awarded us the delight of watching a barn owl some evenings. The dark starry sky at night was beautiful. The back garden was also a great place to sit and relax after a day of walking. The cottage itself was very comfortable and well equipped. Small bathroom but that wasn’t an issue for us. Large bedroom with comfortable bed. Sofa in lounge one of the nicest we’ve had for collapsing into. The local area gave us some great walking. A few miles away was Hawes with its great selection of little shops and pubs. Like everywhere in the Dales, so pretty. Would happily come back here again both for the cottage and this beautiful part of the country.

  Wow! What a place to stay. We loved the barn and the field which is more like a private moor! We wanted for nothing in the house…so well stocked with kitchen supplies, equipment and cleaning things. I loved the well stocked book case in the lounge and the kids loved the games. The dog loved the field and spent many a happy hour wandering the perimeters. You get very used to the drive down, up and around the one track road….we rarely met any other cars and the remoteness added to the whole holiday. Weather was rubbish but we didn’t care. Had done great lunches in Hawes, Reeth, West Witton and Richmond….and all very friendly. We will be back!
