What our customers say about their holidays

  This is one of the cleanest cottages I have ever stayed in.

  The property owners have made a good effort to combine rustic charm with modern style and luxuries. I can only assume that the owners are either meticulous cleaners or that the property has been recently redecorated, because it was absolutely immaculate. The property was confusing and difficult to find, but the upside of that was that it made the property very secluded and private, which I enjoyed very much. Often with these rural cottages you have to park far away from the property and lug all of your belongings to and from the car, but the property's gated driveway made this a pleasant exception. Sleeping wasn't too bad, since the area is so quiet, but the bed is quite firm. This, in fact, is the only aspect where I could recommend improvement - The bed would benefit from a mattress topper or entirely new replacement and the sofas are pretty hard too. All in all, this is a very enjoyable and well-stocked cottage and would seriously consider booking again if I return to the area.

  We had some difficulty with both doors.

  The back door, or at least the lock, really needs to be changed, as everyone in the guest book has commented. It’s really stressful trying to lock it, even with the “knack” advised in the welcome booklet. Only one of our family could ever manage it. One day we thought we were locked out as the key box at the front door was stuck even though combination was correct. Took about 20 minutes to get it open (in the rain) so we never used it for the rest of the week and took the key with us. Property is comfortable and clean and tea/coffee/biscuits/milk was very much appreciated after a long journey. Kitchen is quite well equipped although we did have to purchase a casserole dish. Garden is not secure - be aware of the large gap under the gate if you’re bringing a small/medium dog.

  The cottage is beautifully presented, very well maintained and well provided for with everything you would need for a home-from-home stay.

  Aileen and Colin have literally thought of everything! The whole accommodation is absolutely spotless so hats off to the cleaner - I was very impressed! The cottage is ideally located for easy access to Aysgarth Falls, Castle Bolton, Leyburn, Hawes and Richmond with plentiful walks from your doorstep, so much so that you could park your car up and not touch it again for a week. There are 2 pubs within a couple of minutes walk, and 2 more in Carlton and Wensley which are a 5 minute car ride away or as part of a walk for a well-earned pit stop pint and bite to eat. The added bonus of an enclosed garden was perfect for our dogs as well as being a lovely place to relax and unwind in the sunshine. I would highly recommend Myrtle Cottage, its just perfect in every way.

  We had a wonderful return stay at Middle Cottage.

  We love this cottage, tucked away in a quiet location off the Main Street but so close to the village pubs, shop and fish and chip shop! The cottage is very clean and so well equipped ; everything has been carefully thought about to make it a very special place to stay . We love the location and being able to walk from the village on numerous walks along the river Cover in all directions without having to drive is extra special. The village of Leyburn is a few miles across the river Ure which has more amenities. Middleham is an interesting village for historians due to its castle and it is wonderful to see the race horses going through the village every morning on the way to the gallops. We would definitely love to return again to Middle Cottage.

  This is a very clean and comfortable property in a quiet residential area of Leyburn.

  It was ideal for our family with 2 dogs - our children liked the small playpark nearby and it was within walking distance of the town centre, though as our visit was over the Coronation Bank Holiday weekend a lot of places were closed so perhaps not the best time to experience all Leyburn has to offer. We appreciated the bottle of wine waiting for us, and that there was a good stock of cleaning products/household essentials. We also liked the ovely, fluffy towels and good quality bed linen. No tea/coffee so bring your own: we arrived fairly late the first night so had to do without initially. Other than that small detail, we had a wonderful stay and would definitely return to the area and this cottage.
