  Arriving on Friday evening we were able to park right outside and easily get into the properly.

  On entry to the hallway of the building, we were taken back by how well the old building has been restored. After making our way upstairs we were very pleased to see that all our needs were catered for. A delightful hallway for us to take off our boots and hang our jackets, before entering into the double height living space with original features (even the old dock) lovingly restored and modernised all of which are tastefully done. The kitchen is very well-equipped, if eating in you have absolutely everything you need. Once we have had gathered our bags, we explored the bedrooms, which I must say are a delight. Very luxurious and both with high spec ensuite facilities. The bed was very grand and comfortable with quality linens. Everything was very in keeping with the restoration of the old building but there are tasteful modern touches everywhere. From TV’s in living and sleeping areas to USB sockets for phone charging. Once we were settled we made the 2-minute walk into the centre of the village and had a couple of drinks, returning to eat at the lovely dining table. On the Saturday we walked out to the falls which is a quick jaunt down through the village before heading up on a very scenic walking route which bring you back down into the village enjoy one of the several pubs and good food establishments. Although we were rained on, we found getting back to the court house nice and easy as the hallway of both the main building and the hallway to the accommodation has matts and boot storage making it an easy and comfortable place to get back to. The building itself is stunning, inside and out. The scale of the place is magnificent. With the building being so solid there was no noise heard from the other spaces. We really got the feeling of complete comfort and privacy. It was great value for money given both the location and quality of the accommodation . 5+ stars. We will be booking another stay.

  This was possibly one of our best holidays ever.

  My partner and I have fallen in love with the Yorkshire Dales. The 17th century cottage is right in the heart of the countryside, Bank Newton being a tiny hamlet? and the nearest village being Gargrave. It was so peaceful and relaxing. The cottage itself is beautiful and in keeping with a property of that period. I loved the little garden with the arch and the roses, leading straight onto a field of cows. It was lovely to wake up in the morning, open the windows and hear cows and sheep. The bedroom and the living room were so cosy - impossible not to relax here. The kitchen and the bathroom had everything conceivable that one could need. There is a very good farm shop called Keelan that sold fresh, local produce nearby. We did a lot of walking on this holiday, there was always a sense of space, we rarely bumped into anyone. This part of Yorkshire remains unspoiled. I would thoroughly recommend staying at this cottage. The owner was so thoughtful and concerned that we should enjoy our stay. We are already thinking about whether it would be possible to book the same holiday again this time next year.

  We booked last minute and were fortunate to secure 5 nights in October.

  The Cottage was wonderful, warm and extremely well equipped. I would imagine that the cottage would be the perfect spot to locate any time of the year. It is a couple of miles from Gargrave in a hamlet called Bank Newton. Catherine lived close and was a great source of knowledge for local walks as well as walks further afield. The cottage is a stone's throw from the Liverpool-Leeds Canal which has pretty walks in both directions. Airedale, Wharfedale, Bolton Abbey, Grassington, Kettlewell, Malham, Settle, Kettlewell, and numerous other Dales Beauty spots (to say nothing of Tearooms) are nearby. The George at Hubberholme is to be recommended, terrific food, local beer and a genial Mine Host. Buckden, stop off at the George for lunch, Scar House, Cray and back down to Buckden is a lovely walk. Back to the Cottage for tea and some of Catherine's super cake...............what's not to like!

  This 2 bed cottage is absolutely delightful and perfect in every way.

  Location is superb, view from the cottage garden is lovely with the sheep and the cows. The cottage is cosy, homely and extremely well equipped, the beds are soft and comfy with white crisp quality linens. Bathroom is fabulous and the shower is outstanding, its all so clean and well presented. The kitchens extremely well kitted out with good quality white goods and has every utensil you could wish for. Its a five minute walk to the canal which is great for a flat walk and also the walk to Gargrave's local pub, The Masons Arms is a real bonus. I would highly recommend this cottage, Catherine & William are warm and welcoming and the stunning Dales are on your doorstep 11/10. Top quality holiday cottage.

  Excellent for location and the accommodation is above the norm and most stylishly furnished.

  The heating was somewhat problematic and it was rather chilly. The owner was always helpful in trying to resolve the timing of the heating. The wood burner was extremely useful, not cheap on wood supplies, and certainly added to the ambience as well as being necessary. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay, the local Black Horse provided excellent food, The Talbot pub in the centre of Settle had excellent big band style jazz on a Tuesday evening...excellent traditional pub grub...no frills, no fuss simply enjoyable. The owner of Pendle View, Leanne, was delightful and helpful. Recommend make the time to visit The Chapel of Giggleswick School...outstanding architecture and decoration.
