What our customers say about their holidays

  The barn is a lovely building and there is lots of room for a family of 6.

  Location good for walks. Thanks for allowing the extra dog .The local cafe was a gem.Lots of TV channels /games.There is a lack of good lighting in the kitchen and lounge. Oven trays need burnt lumps of food removed and front cleaning. We ate out. Shower has a very weak flow, but we could see why, this should be included in the details. Information pack advised us when to use bottle water. Kitchen floor had suffered from a leak so we moved bin and stool over it to stop the dogs catching their paws. No problem doing this as totally understood hard to get sorted between bookings. Lack of cups and mugs particularly as there is a dish washer. Cleaning is very poor in many places. I was shocked at the state of the mattress in the main bedroom when I removed the mattress protector as instructed with linen at the end of the stay. I had thought and trusted it would be clean. It was soiled with numerous stains and had seen better days, photo available on request. I would never expect anyone to sleep on such an item, it is disrespectful to your guests who work hard to save for holidays. I felt very sad and let down by the owners. Bedroom door would not shut. It would be fair to say outdoor space was decorative rather than of use. I would urgently suggest less it spent on the welcome pack which was lovely and more on maintenance. We have all had two years of challenging times and being together of course was wonderful, But sadly I would not book again unless the points above were sorted out.

  We enjoyed our stay and the location was perfect with great walks from the barn.

  Plenty of amazing sights and places to visit all within an hour drive. We found the barn lovely and comfortable to stay in with a well equipped kitchen and lovely lounge to relax in with a blazing fire in the evening. Without the fire the lighting in the lounge is quite dark with only 2 wall lights and 1 standing lamp. My sons loved the Wii and the vast amount of games they could play. However from reading the visitor book we noticed that comments from last year had not be addressed by the owners. The hot water was still scalding and the shower in the shared bathroom was erratic to use, all mentioned in reviews. We also didn't realise, from the writeup, that the day bed was in a room you had to go through to access the 2 double bedded room. This made it awkward for the person sleeping in the room as you had to always walk through their room to also use the toilet in the night. The double bedroom has no wardrobe or chest of drawers to put clothes in, we had to either keep our clothes in our cases or put them in the many wardrobes in the other bedrooms. I can't ever remember staying anywhere without clothes storage in a bedroom. This is a shame as if these had been addressed would have been an amazing place in a fantastic location.

  Overall we had a nice week in February. The hosts were lovely and met us on arrival. The cottage was cosy and comfortable. The furnishings however are dated. The kitchen lacks utensils and equipment to be able to use it fully. The pillows didn’t have protectors on. The rear garden is nothing like it looks in the pictures and was in bad need of a power wash. The flags were slippy as were covered in moss and algae. There were also steps in the garden which were difficult to negotiate. The main issue with the property is the location and this not being as described. It is very close to the village however this is up a steep hill. There is no-where to walk from the cottage that doesn’t involve a steep hill. Parking was also not ideal. It is on the road facing the cottage - the road is extremely busy for a rural village. Once parked you have to walk on a patch of grass to access the passenger side of the car. The village has some nice shops but the pubs were poor. Im sorry but we wouldnt recommend or stay again. With updating and maintenance in the garden it could be massively improved. However, nothing can be done about the hill or parking facilities.

  There was a lot to like about the property - very spacious with all the facilities inside you would need and the best 'welcome hamper' we've ever received.

  The sofas are all really comfortable & the kitchen was more or less fully stocked. The mattress in the master bedroom was on the firm side for me, but that's a personal thing. I think the property needs a little bit of TLC as there were a few little niggly things that could be easily sorted. It's a property that allows a dog, but if you are thinking of taking yours please be aware there is no back garden and whilst the description of the property talks of a lawn at the front of the property, this patch of grass is very small and potentially not safe to leave your dog off of lead due to it being beside the lane. The other big thing for us was how dark the main room of the property is - only 2 small wall lights & without any sunlight during the day (we had periods of sun late afternoon & evening) it can be too dark to do a lot of things such as reading / crosswords etc. A couple of standard lamps wouldn't go amiss!!

  Agreeing with all that has been said before the location and facilities of this Craven Cottage has been first class. I cant believe its only 3 stars we are certainly going to book again. We had a great week using a North West rover on the railway and also sampling various bus routes. The Saturday bus to Harrogate and the Sunday bus from Grassington to Hawes were particularly scenic and interesting. We mostly catered for ourselves but would recommend Bizzy Lizzies for fish and chips. Skipton has many bakers shops that you are spoilt for choice but pastries from Thomas's were very good. As for doing your washing try the Express Laundromat on Sackville Street a seven minute walk away and the staff were very helpful , they give change for the machines and you can buy soap there. WE hope you will enjoy your stay in this delightful cottage as we did
