  Hi We had a lovely time,but there were a lot of problems.

  The owners were lovely right from the start,but persistent calls whilst we were on our break were a bit much. There was no welcome pack We get up at 5 am and the cottage was freezing cold,it was minus 2 most mornings,and were in late 60s with arthiritis and the cold makes it worse.the heating only came on around 7 am very low and only stayed on minimally. The heating and hot water are controlled remotely by owners so we had no control of those. The bathroom floor is lethal with the fluffy mat they supplied and I slid across the floor,this could also be because there is only 1 grabrail,the bath was slippery,with no grab rails inside bath to feel secure in shower. The oven was filthy,and the meat tray inside was rancid with caked on grease,it took 4 attempts in dishwasher to get it clean. The tea towels too were dirty,the bath towels stiff,but not a problem as we take our own I have a cleaner myself,and if she cleaned this badly she would be sacked. There was dust everywhere,and the blinds etc were full of dust and grime There was a sheet far too small on bed and the underblanket didn't stay secure due to this,hence sleepless nights. The bed very low and the mattress wasn't great as we kept rolling into middle. When we lifted mattress to try to secure sheet under the mattress we found a lot of used dirty tissues!!!. Very scary,as who knows what germs were left,as we're both clinically vulnerable. The "cleaner" was not up to job

  Myself and my partner had a lovely Christmas stay at Bridleway Cottage.

  We cooked a full Christmas Dinner in the kitchen which had everything that we needed. Had all the home comforts, lovely comfy chairs and sofa with a decent television. Also had super fast broadband for Netflix etc which is all set up for every guests use. There is a log burner with some free logs with the option of buying more if needed. Was so nice to see the variety of birds coming to feed at the bird feeders, which get very close to the windows. Very entertaining and relaxing to watch them. We would recommend for anyone who needs a good rest in a peaceful location. The countryside around the cottage is beautiful. Helen the Owner was very helpful with any queries we had. She helped us with directions when we got a little lost in the dark trying to find the cottage, which was stressful at the time but she put us at ease. Helen is only at the end of the phone if you need to text or call for whatever reason otherwise you’re left alone to enjoy your stay. We would love to return and explore the area more, it is an ideal location for walking and there is a car park space specifically for Bridleway Cottage so you can park just outside.

  Where do I begin?

  We had a relatively short and pleasant journey to Cobble Cottage from the Wirral. From walking through the front door until the moment we sadly left we enjoyed an absolutely memorable stay. Cobble is beautifully appointed, comfortable and cozy. I had an absolute labour of love with the log burner. Gas combination boiler was also a real plus providing a heating alternative and instant hot water. All of the appliances were modern, reliable and user friendly. Rooms beautifully furnished and beds were so comfortable. Slept like logs. Adored the stable door in the kitchen. To say the Welcome basket was generous and contents of high quality is an understatement. Fabulous property. Also, great pub with lovely hosts The Sundial Inn is a few minutes walk away. Also special thanks to Sykes staff for reinstating the original booking due to an error with my bank. Professionally handled with courtesy and understanding. No surprise there then! Outstanding trip once again! THANKYOU xx

  A really lovely peaceful cottage in the middle of the countryside.

  A warm and welcoming interior that is decked out to feel as if it’s a home away from home. The photo’s don’t necessarily do the cottage justice. The kitchen has everything you would need, the lounge has lovely cosy seats, throws and Netflix on hand to escape. Under heated floor and a fire should you need the heat to take the edge of after being outside all day and a memory foam comfortable bed to sleep on. On the patio to the rear of the patio hangs a bird feeder, which can be watched from the armchairs in the lounge, losing sense of time watching the many birds visit. Such a good location being not far from ingleton and the waterfall walk and the base of Ingleborough. We visited Wensleydale, Skipton and Malham Cove which are all beautiful places close by. We would definitely recommend this cottage for a romantic, peaceful, relaxing time away and will definitely be back again next year.

  Bridleway Cottage is one of the best cottages we have ever stayed at.

  The attention to detail was superb, the owners had thought of everything to make our stay so comfortable. The central heating was there for us to switch up or down, as it was early October and the weather was very mixed we where never cold and copious amounts of hot water. The views from the patio at the rear of the property where stunning, we managed to see some beautiful sunsets. The bird life in the garden was amazing we could sit for hours just watching so many different species even a resident woodpecker!!! The owners kept in touch via email and text messages, but not intrusive to make sure we had everything we needed. We would highly recommend this cottage for a truly relaxing get away and we hope to visit again.
