  This is a beautiful and well-equipped small mill worker's cottage very close to the centre of Low Bentham, which offered a real home from home experience over the past weekend.

  The cottage has been refurbished to a very high standard, yet retains its cosy feel. The kitchen is small but very well-equipped and offered the opportunity to cook a decent roast dinner and enjoy it around the small dining table with a view out to the beautiful and very well-kept garden. The living room can easily accommodate 3 people and the log burner created a lovely cosy and relaxing feel too. The smart TV offers lots of viewing options and the broadband speed was very good - so easy to stay connected when necessary. The views over the rooftops across to the distance hills were lovely and all in all it felt a very calm and relaxing setting. The village of Low Bentham is lovely and has some easy, but enjoyable walks around it. High Bentham is larger and has lots of shops and even a bank, so no need to keep popping to Ingleton for supplies. The village pub is at the bottom of the hill from the cottage and had a nice atmosphere and a good selection of drinks. Other guests said the food was good, but I can't agree/disagree - didn't eat there. Getting around is easy and there are plenty of places to visit nearby (Clapham, Austwick, Malham, Ingleton, White Scar Caves, Ribblehead), so it's a good base for a touring break. The only minor issue was a lack of parking outside the cottage - the only options were on street or in the village public car park (approx 100 yards away), but once we got used to it it really was a very minor issue. A return visit is definitely on the cards!! Highly recommended.

  We generally enjoyed our stay.

  Lodge is nice but not very clean. Dog hair covered the carpet. We had taken several videos and ended up not wearing any socks or not placing anything on the carpet. The owner did send the cleaner back. She vacuumed the living room only but it was not a vacuum for pet hair and made zero difference. We also were unable to connect to the internet for the entire stay. We were told that we were connected - yes we agree that the tv was connected but not any of our personal tech. Again video to evidence we were using the correct passcodes but unable to connect. Sykes does not accept video evidence?? Sykes pretty much indifferent as the issue was allegedly between the owner for whom we had no contact information and us. The owner was away for a few days and on return did leave a complimentary gift which was nice but honestly we would have preferred clean carpets - as dog hair was on the sofa, cushions, and bed linen. I think obviously when changing the beds the quilts are placed on the floor?? My guess. Internet access (bar the tv) would have been nice.

  Lovely cottage in a friendly village.

  Central for exploring this beautiful area. Comfy, well equipped and nicely decorated and furnished. Safe enclosed garden for the dog and a riverside walk from the doorstep. Shame there wasn't a welcome pack, not even a pint of milk, just a couple of teabag and coffee sachets. ( maybe I've been lucky in previous cottages with lots of treats for me and the dog! ) Sadly, my stay was spoilt due to the noise from the renovations at the cottage next door. I know this is out of the owner's control, and it was only a couple of days and one evening until 8pm but it wasn't the relaxing holiday I was hoping for. Note to Skyes (as this is not the first time) please say on the description if dogs are not allowed upstairs. I wouldn't have booked if I'd known. I'm also reluctant to book anymore attached properties as this is also not the first time this has happened to me! I had a lovely holiday though as the area is stunning and the cottage is lovely.

  The cottage is decorated beautifully and kept very clean.

  The garden is great as it is enclosed so we didn't need to worry about the dog wandering off. Bed and sofa are comfortable. Bathroom is modern and shower is a good temperature and pressure. Kitchen extremely well equipped and includes lots of thoughtful extras (which I had entirely forgot to pack) eg cling film, sandwich bags, tin foil and ice packs so we could take a packed lunch everyday. We didn't use the dishwasher as was only two of us and seemed easier to wash up, but microwave and oven are easy to use. There was also dog bowls and poo bags, again a lovely touch, but had packed my own. We did struggle to park on the first day but that's just one of those things. Location was pretty good, short walk or super quick drive to High Bentham for all amenities. Spoke to one of the neighbours one day, and he was extremely pleasant and helpful.

  We stayed at Parkers Place for a second time in March 2024, having stayed the previous year.

  Again, we found the lodge to be very spacious and comfortable. We have been visiting this site for 15+ years and Parkers Place is one of the best lodges we've stayed in. I do feel though that the lodge needs a little TLC since our last visit. The patio area was extremely slippy. The bottle holder in the fridge had been removed (I assume broken at some point). A few of the kitchen drawers seem to fall off there runners if you pulled them out fully. The mattresses were a little too soft but this is a personal preference. These are all very minor things but could help to improve a stay at Parker's Place. The site is very quiet, safe and clean. I would definitely recommend the beauty salon and gym/pool. I would have no hesitation in booking again and plan to do so. Many thanks for letting us use your lovely lodge.
