As with our previous visits, peaceful and relaxing. I think that we are becoming “locals” as we now find our way around without using Satnav

"We found this property to be excellent in so many ways and would be very happy to stay again."
There is an obvious and beautiful attention to detail in how the owners present and maintain the cottage, we really appreciated this aspect- top marks!!! Superb shower, the best I've used. Very welcoming hosts. It is in a very quiet restful location, excellent for the western areas of the Yorkshire Dales, the Forest of Bowland and the southern parts of the Lake District.
Thanks for this wonderful feedback. We get a lot of pleasure from sharing our peaceful haven with our guests. Thanks for taking such care of the cottage.

"Spen Farm Cottage is perfect."
Looking for a place where you can really relax in beautiful surroundings look no further. The cottage itself is very well equipped and of good quality. At the end of the day the pretty courtyard garden facing west is a real sun trap to partake of a glass of wine (or two). There is plenty of walking from the door on footpaths, tracks and also along minor roads. There are lots of other places to see and things to do just a short car journey away. The owners Sally and Kevin are welcoming, helpful and discreet. We simply had a wonderful week, thank you.

"Last minute booking."
We had a lovely week in this very comfortable little cottage. Our picnic breakfast by the babbling brook will linger in memory!
This is a beautiful part of the world and the cottage provides a great opportunity to 'get away from it all'. Ingleton to Hawes is a drive not to be missed; Kirkby Lonsdale and Settle are lovely little towns; Sizergh Castle and the lakes are very close.
Worth noting that petrol stations are thin on the ground - top up when out and about to avoid a longish drive to Ingleton - Yorkshire miles!
The owners were very helpful and friendly.
Highly recommended.

"Nothing went wrong with the holiday."
The owners were very kind & helpful people & everything in the cottage was absolutely tip top. The surrounding area provided us with an excellent week's walking ( the owners supply of local extracts of O S maps was very useful) & the views were spectacular in so many places. We could not have asked for more.
However, your performance in the process was appalling. Sending us 23 emails over a period of a few weeks suggested that double glazing sales might feature in your future plans.
Two early emails about the cottage location & details of equipment & facilities were useful & were duly printed off. This last one for feedback might well help you in future planning & policy. The ones in between, had they been in paper form, would have made good firelighters.
