  The Piggery is a lovely cottage.

  The cottage is set on a hill outside the village of East Morton on a farm. After a bone rattling car ride up the track the view from the cottage is amazing. Inside there is a utility room with laundry facilities and second loo. The kitchen has everything you need and the owners had left us some milk and eggs. The lounge is very comfy and has a smart TV. We didn’t find the TV that easy to control as the remote is very sensitive! The bedroom has plenty of storage and the bed is comfy. There is a nice en suite with walk in shower. We were fortunate to have sunny weather when we were there and the bedroom gets very hot as there is only one opening window. We could have opened the bedroom door and let the air through from the lounge but we don’t like the dog in the bedroom so we had the door shut. So maybe a fan would be welcomed? The garden was fine for our dog- it’s not enclosed but our dog just pottered about the grassy area in front. All in all a lovely place to sit with a g&t and watch the wildlife - we saw housemartins, red kites, buzzards, an owl, pheasants and a kestrel. We’d definitely go back. A visitors book would be good for people to leave tips for places to visit& eat out etc . We had day trips to Ilkley, Grassington, Bolton Abbey and a walk along the canal at Five Rise Locks.

  Top shelf property.

  Everything you could ever need in a property. Decor was outstanding and we loved all the unique artwork and enjoyed the information provided to learn about artists. The goodie basket was fabulous as well as the dog treats and dog bowl. Really comfortable bed. Loved the shower and bathroom. Honestly, just a wonderful relaxing holiday retreat. Close to the pub with good food and nice people. Great Clean eating cafe right behind. Walking the dog was great right outside the door and up at the reservoir. Highly recommend. We loved every minute. Absolute treat to stay here. Great value for money for sure. And so close to Skipton where we enjoyed a nice French dinner but really all you need is at your doorstep in Embsay. Want to come back to ride the train and go on a canal cruise trip as the weather was not very nice when we were there although it was July, high winds and rainy and cool. It was okay just not great sightseeing weather.

  No4 Embsay is an absolute gem of a country cottage.

  The cottage is so well thought out with stylish decor and every comfort and convenience provided. It was perfectly clean , comfortable beds, fabulous shower and excellent quality throughout .Furnished with a mix of modern and traditional it is very relaxing , the owners should be very proud. We visited the local artist who supplied some art for the cottage and bought our own pieces. No4 has a fabulous location just minutes from wonderful Skipton in the car . Embsay is a delightful community with two great pubs (Cavendish best for food quality) a small village shop and of course is the location for the Embsay to Bolton Abbey steam train which is an absolute must but ensure you plan in a visit to the Abbey. Embsay is a great base for touring the Dales and accessing the amazing walking that Yorkshire We did not want to leave !!!

  Woodman Cottage is a beautiful well equipped cottage with lots of lovely touches and added extras which made for a very pleasant stay.

  Parking outside the cottage was not always possible which involved parking in the nearby road or nearby car park, however we were aware that this would be be on a first come first served basis. There were only a few minor points regarding the cottage itself, such as no socket near the dressing table in the bedroom which meant having to dry my hair downstairs at the dining table, and also the shower basket provided for holding shampoo, etc was attached too high on the wall to be easily accessed. Plus points were the coat hooks for hanging coats on - something sadly lacking in most other cottages we have stayed in - which were a godsend considering we were staying during the tail end of storm Dennis! On the whole we found it very comfortable and very conveniently situated in the town and would definitely recommend to others.

  The cottage made all the difference.

  It was like being at home - that was the impression we got when we first opened the door. Everything that we could have needed was provided and it all worked! There was even a Nespresso machine and for us that's a big plus. The cottage was quirky in the nicest possible way; there were so many personal touches that it felt almost as though we knew the owner(s) - pity we didn't quite meet them. It was so handy for the town centre - just a short walk, and the parking area next to the cottage worked well (in that we always managed to get parked there). If we need a cottage in Skipton again this is where we'll want to be. I can't praise this cottage highly enough - so much better than we could have imagined. Oh, and another thing - the bathroom (bath and shower) was a dream; then again, it all was.
