What our customers say about their holidays

  • Confirmed Guest - Verified booking

    The cottage is lovely, comfortable and well equipped including excellent wi-fi (though the dryer part of the washer-dryer doesn't work). Burnsall is normally a delightful and tranquil location, its inhabitants are friendly and it is a great place from which to explore a beautiful and interesting area. But on hot days the whole of the surrounding area descends on Burnsall and its river and because the cottage is so central you cannot avoid the feeling that your peace has been disrupted. There are cars everywhere and if you look out of the window you can see lots and lots of people. If you open the window you hear lots of noise sometimes quite late into the night. Local volunteers clear up the appalling rubbish people leave behind them. In conclusion this should have been a five star review. But on warm/hot days in summer the cottage doesn't live up to its description as a rural retreat. So best to come in spring or autumn and you will have a wonderful holiday.

    Top shelf property.

    Everything you could ever need in a property. Decor was outstanding and we loved all the unique artwork and enjoyed the information provided to learn about artists. The goodie basket was fabulous as well as the dog treats and dog bowl. Really comfortable bed. Loved the shower and bathroom. Honestly, just a wonderful relaxing holiday retreat. Close to the pub with good food and nice people. Great Clean eating cafe right behind. Walking the dog was great right outside the door and up at the reservoir. Highly recommend. We loved every minute. Absolute treat to stay here. Great value for money for sure. And so close to Skipton where we enjoyed a nice French dinner but really all you need is at your doorstep in Embsay. Want to come back to ride the train and go on a canal cruise trip as the weather was not very nice when we were there although it was July, high winds and rainy and cool. It was okay just not great sightseeing weather.

    We had an absolutely fabulous time away at your cottage!

    The beds were comfortable and rooms were spacious. The kitchen facilities were great, we particularly appreciated the doggie treats left upon arrival! Sitting out the back was lovely and relaxing, it was great to see the cows. We ate at The Old Swan one night and the food was lovely. The other night we ordered a Chinese takeaway from Skipton which came in good time and again, the food was lovely. The only concern we had was we couldn’t find the hairdryer (it was in the drawer in the dresser in the main bedroom which is quite neatly concealed!) that could just be us being daft, but might be worth putting either on top of the dresser or in the wardrobe as the drawer isn’t easily spotted. The location is amazing, only a short walk into Gargrave. We didn’t want to go home and have said this is our new ‘go to place’ if ever we want a break! Can’t fault our stay, 10/10!

    No4 Embsay is an absolute gem of a country cottage.

    The cottage is so well thought out with stylish decor and every comfort and convenience provided. It was perfectly clean , comfortable beds, fabulous shower and excellent quality throughout .Furnished with a mix of modern and traditional it is very relaxing , the owners should be very proud. We visited the local artist who supplied some art for the cottage and bought our own pieces. No4 has a fabulous location just minutes from wonderful Skipton in the car . Embsay is a delightful community with two great pubs (Cavendish best for food quality) a small village shop and of course is the location for the Embsay to Bolton Abbey steam train which is an absolute must but ensure you plan in a visit to the Abbey. Embsay is a great base for touring the Dales and accessing the amazing walking that Yorkshire We did not want to leave !!!

  • Mr Bailey - Verified booking

    Yes - previous guests comments would be enlightening. Why is it not possible to comment directly on your web site? My comments in summary The accommodation is lovely, the outside space is not dog secure, because it is shared with the owner that lives in the adjoining property. The external lighting for the car park area was non functioning . It's November, dark and raining, and the steps are 3 and a half - so the last step is irregular - just right for tripping up in the dark. The dishwasher not working seems to be a recurring problem. The little notes telling you what to do are rather "school teacher" Finally, the note to strip the bed on your exit - for safety reasons, I guess covid? is now just wrong. we have stayed in many venues and never been asked to strip the beds.
