  We stayed for one week in January 2022.

  The cottage is located in a lovely, quiet cul-de-sac and the owners were lovely with excellent communication and were very helpful. The cottage itsself is brand new, beautifully furnished to a high quality & well finished. It felt very homely and we loved our stay with our 8 month old (who also loved it). The welcome pack was unexpected but wonderful and we were pleased that the kitchen utensils lacked nothing that we needed. The owners provided us with a high chair and cot for the baby, both of which were of a good quality and new. The bed was very comfortable and the shower had great water pressure. Also for a night in, there were loads of available TV channels and streaming options. We actually took turns working home office from the cottage during our week and had no issues with Internet, so the connection is superb. Also the kitchen high table worked very well for this. Cowling we found charming and there were loads of walks to do straight from the front door, even with a pram. The local pub was friendly and in the welcome book there's a very well prepared list of restaurants / take-away options which we used. Parking is directly outside and very easy. Overall we loved our stay and look forward to coming back.

  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!

  What a wonderful place to stay !

  Lots of walks on the doorstep, 1000 years of history within easy reach. An immaculate little cottage, just right for the two of us for a week away. Met by the owner Joanne, who was attentive to our needs but never intrusive. The cottage has everything that you could need and is newly fitted with an abundance of brand new appliances. Spotlessly clean and tidy throughout. Huge comfy bed, little patio for sunny days, fully fitted kitchen and bathroom. The local area is great and there are good restaurants/pubs within very easy reach (no more than 4 miles) so we never went hungry .. very friendly pub about 400m away that where we were made so welcome after our first 8 mile local walk. I would 100% recommend this cottage !

  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.

  Super little cottage.

  Very clean and comfortable the kitchen was well equipped no need to take anything with you as it has everything you need. A unexpected welcome pack left by the host was a nice little touch they had even left the dog a little treat too. The cottage has lots of information of the local amenities. After reading other reviews regarding the stairs these were not a problem to us. Others had mentioned the noise from traffic again this was not a big problem please don't let this put you off from booking this beautiful little cottage we will most definitely be booking this again.
