  We stayed at Beckside Cottage from 24th September 2021 to 1st October 2021.

  There was no privacy whatsoever regarding the owners which are actually the neighbours. On the first two days we were there the owner Ian would repeatedly ride up our driveway, drive past approx 5 metres past where our hot tub was positioned with his children on the quad constantly staring at us, and with the noise of the quad motorcycle was very irritating to say the least! To stop this happening again I had to leave the car parked in the driveway adjacent to the property to stop him and his children joyriding past us every few minutes. I would have thought if you're renting out a cottage and the idea of privacy, you would make arrangements so that you could access your field from your own garden so not to disturb the guests. The owners then insulted our intelligence and asked us to park the car in a different place because apparently the LPG bottle is refilled without prior notice to the owner and the company never give them any communication or correspondence regarding deliveries. We felt this feeble excuse was an insult to our intelligence. There was no boundary fence between the two properties, so every time we went outside our property, the owners would stare and wave at us. We had zero privacy, which was the whole purpose of the stay at this supposedly isolated cottage. The photos are very deceptive and purposely misleading as it seems as if it's in the middle of nowhere but actually very close to the owners home. The bedroom was very small with very limited storage facilities. The bed was so uncomfortable it was like sleeping in a hammock. In the bathroom there was a section of extremely rotten and water damaged skirting board which was very off putting to say the least, which obviously needs attention but had not been attended to. Also the access was extremely restricted and the small, narrow bridge to the property shown in the photos is almost impossible to cross if in a medium-large car. - Which was obviously far too small for an LPG lorry to pass over it. Overall if there was a lot more privacy and you were left alone from the owners it wouldn't be quite so bad. The whole purpose of our stay was to be in an isolated, secluded location so we could be left alone so we could enjoy the space. The whole experience was tainted for me, and I would definitely not recommend it. The experience felt like they wanted to charge you a high fee for the stay, but didn't want to leave you alone to get on with it to enjoy the space and the facilities in private.

  As a group of 6 ladies, we have just returned from a weekend in Carvin Tor.

  A very pleasant stay overall. 10/10 for cleanliness! Not a spec of dust to be seen! Bedding was beautiful and fresh. The bathroom is lovely and spacious. The hottub was worth it's weight in gold as we had sunshine all weekend and it sits in the sun all day, so we made good use of this. The owner comes every day to check the pH level and it was beautifully hot and ready to use on arrival. This was fantastic for a weekend away with friends, but I think we would have felt quite cramped if we had stayed any longer, as we maxed out the capacity with 6 people. Low beams in the kitchen and bedrooms can be dangerous if you forget they're there! No dishwasher, although not to say there won't be in the future as there were tablets in the cupboard and a space next to the fridge where one may have been previously. Smart TV, tv's in bedrooms, microwave, toaster, oven & hobs, washing machine but no detergent so be sure to take your own if you plan to use it. Hand soap, tea towels, washing up liquid and sponge/scourer. Large fridge and freezer so plenty of room for all our food and drink. Excellent supply of glasses and plastic beakers, which is important to use outside, as glass not allowed in hottub. Not suitable for wheelchair access or to anyone unable to climb steps.

  Just back from a fantastic 6 day stay at Carvin Tor.

  What a wonderful little hideaway this property is. Kevin, the owner is such a helpful bloke, full of knowledge of the local area and nothing is too much trouble for him. The property was spotless throughout, kitchen well stocked with every utensil/pots/pans you could ever need, real home from home. Beds were extremely comfortable, we slept like logs ! Great , strong WiFi signal, comfortable sofas in the lounge area and TVs in every room with Freeview and as it’s October it was a little chilly in the evenings so we cranked the heating up a little bit, made it even cozier with the rain lashing against the windows and the wind howling! The hot tub was lovely too. Ok, it’s not the newest model but it does what it’s supposed to do, hot, bubbly and very relaxing. We will definitely be back for another visit. The location is perfect for getting out to either the North Yorkshire moors or The Dales, there’s so much to see and do within a short drive and spectacular scenery everywhere. My wife and I would highly recommend Carvin Tor, we’ll be back as soon as we can.

  We have just spent a week in Beckside Cottage and we can honestly say it was absolutely perfect; from the very warm and so friendly welcome from the owners Jo and Ian on our arrival to the farewell chat with Jo as we were leaving.

  The cottage is beautiful, set in the most ideallic, peaceful setting. Once inside the cottage it is so apparent the care and attention given to the cleanliness and contents..furnishings, bed linen, towels etc, is second to none; the quality outstanding. We were greeted with a lovely welcome gift of prosecco and chocolates; which were very much appreciated. The kitchen is very well equipped with everything you need; again excellent quality. The outside area has an excellent range of patio furniture and lovely hot tub. It is a perfect sun trap. Feet away from the cottage is a field with lovely, friendly alpacas (which we had the pleasure of feeding) owned by Jo and Ian. All in all Beckside Cottage, its surroundings and especially the owners should be very highly commended. We will wholeheartedly recommend this beautiful holiday home to friends and family and to anyone looking for quality time away. Thank you Jo and Ian for our amazing stay. We both wish you all the very best in everything that you do.

  Was impressed from the moment I saw the pictures on here and I loved every minute there.

  Jo. Ian and their daughter were so lovely. They made me feel relaxed and welcome. They well organized, very professional. Caring, helpful and supportive. I have started to save up to go for another amazing stay at their beautiful cottage. Loved the setting around the cottage. You feel like you're in the Yorkshire dales or the Yorkshire Moors with the fields and surroundings. A very peaceful and private place to come for some privacy. Enjoyed the complimentary treat's. Chocolates crisps orange juice bottled water. Biscuits cups of tea and coffee. Loved the hot tub outside. and the bath in the bedroom. Unfortunately I struggled getting any hot water in the bathroom shower. Am old school used to having a bath so that's probably why I struggled with getting myself some hot water in the shower. Have another go at my next stay. Much better than a hotel.
