Guests say

Usherwoods Dairy is consistently praised for its excellent location, cleanliness, and comfort. Guests appreciate the well-equipped kitchen, spacious garden, and stunning views. The property is ideal for family gatherings and offers a peaceful retreat with plenty of nearby attractions. The owner's hospitality and the occasional mention of gifts like fresh eggs add to the charm of this rural cottage.

Reviewers frequently mention the property being 'spotlessly clean' and 'very clean', indicating a high standard of cleanliness that contributes to the overall positive experience of their stay.

The property's location is highly praised for its stunning views, peacefulness, and proximity to walking routes and attractions. The rural setting and the views of the Yorkshire Dales are particularly appreciated.

Guests find the cottage comfortable, with special mentions of cosy evenings, comfortable beds, and a homely feel. The spaciousness and suitability for all ages contribute to the comfort level.

The property is described as well-equipped, with a particularly well-stocked kitchen, ample space, and good dining facilities. Some minor suggestions for improvement prevent a perfect score, such as the need for bathroom shelves and the mention of rugs that could be a trip hazard.

The owner's welcoming nature and the occasional provision of gifts like fresh eggs and extra logs are noted, which adds a thoughtful touch to guests' stays. However, as these gifts are not guaranteed for every stay, they are a delightful bonus rather than an expectation.

About this property

A stunning, semi-detached, stone barn conversion, Usherwoods Dairy rests in the small hamlet of Tatham on the rural outskirts of Bentham, around eight miles from Kirkby Lonsdale. Set within the grounds of the owner's farmhouse and boasting breath-taking countryside views, this beautifully converted accommodation offers excellent features such as the stone floors with underfloor heating, a woodburning stove, and a classic country style. Spend time in the delightful farmhouse kitchen with your loved ones, with a dining table to gather around and everything you need to rustle up delicious meals. Relax in the lovely sitting room with the woodburning stove crackling in the background, with access to the charming patio garden from here, perfect for alfresco dining in the warmer months. Five bedrooms can be found within the property with two double bedrooms, one boasting an en-suite wet room, and two singles on the first floor along with a family bathroom, whilst the ground floor offers a king-size bedroom and a shower room. Enjoy stunning walks from your doorstep across the moors, visit the nearby Great Stone or for the more energetic, embark on the famous Three Peaks challenge, with incredible views making it all worth the effort! With Kirkby Lonsdale, Settle and Ingleton all within easy reach, Usherwoods Dairy is an ideal base for groups of friends and families alike seeking a rural retreat to Lancashire.

On the edge of Burnmoor is the tiny hamlet of Tatham. High above the traditional Yorkshire market town of Bentham and overlooking The Great Stone, this wonderful hamlet is well-situated to see all of Lancashire and Yorkshire. The Great Stone of Fourstones itself is a relic from the Ice Age, standing on the boundary between counties and has become a notable feature of the landscape. From here it's possible to see the Lake District, the Yorkshire Dales National Park and The Forest of Bowland, a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Visitors can use this wonderful little hamlet as a base for walking holidays across the famous three peaks of Ingleborough, Whernside and Pen-y-ghent whilst the less active may enjoy the range of amenities at nearby Bentham. These include a good variety of shops and a range of pubs and restaurants.

  • Penny

    Our fourth visit and the next is already booked. Everything you need is provided and Fiona is very welcoming but never intrusive. The cottage is spotless and everything is so well cared for. The beds are extremely comfortable and there is plenty of space for everyone. The ideal place for a peaceful, relaxing break.

  • Dorena

    Very clean. There were seven of us and two dogs and so much space. Would definitely book again.

  • Rupert

    Delightfully comfortable accommodation and plenty of space. A large garden with stunning views, sheep, cows and even wallabies in the adjoining fields. Plenty of attractions within reach and walks for every ability nearby. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend, 11/10 :-)
