"This was our fourth stay at Spens Farm, which was as always, clean, comfortable, and well equipped (love the shower)."
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
Thanks Geoff and Pauline for choosing us again. It was good to welcome you back. Thank you too for taking such care of our cottage and leaving it impeccably. It is very much appreciated. Sal and Kev Property Owner

"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. Property Owner

It is a lovely place to relax and unwind. Very clean and has everything you need to cook a meal and more. Lots of local walks and loads of places to visit. The night skies are really dark so don’t forget your binoculars. The owners are lovely,very discreet but there if you need them.
It was lovely to see you again. I am glad you enjoyed your second visit. Maybe see you again sometime soon! Property Owner

"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.
Thank you for this wonderful feedback. We are delighted you enjoyed your stay. Sal and Kev Property Owner

"Our first visit since September 2019."
If you like Countryside, Quiet, Comfy, Cosy, Clean, Pet Free, and Sitting Out in Early Evening with a Glass of Wine, then this is the place. Kendal, Morecambe, and Windermere are all within easy reach. Thank you Kev and Sal, it was nice to come back, and great weather too.
Thank you for this great feedback. It was great to welcome you back to Spens Cottage. Sal and Kev Property Owner

"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.

If you like walking there are plenty of walks from the doorstep.

"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.

"The property is situated in a beautiful valley in the Forest of Bowland, with helpful and friendly hosts next door."
The cottage was perfect for two people and had everything we needed. The coast and Yorkshire Dales are within easy reach and there was plenty to do and see in this lovely area.
-
"We had a lovely break at this beautiful cottage."
We did not use the car at all - always a sign of a good holiday - the surrounding countryside provides lots of walks on quiet lanes and farmland. The owners were exceptionally helpful and have put a lot of attention to detail into this perfect cottage.
-
"We found the instructions a little vague and without our detailed OS map we would have wasted a lot of time trying to find the cottage."
The cottage itself was beautiful and very comfortable. The owners made themselves known to us and were helpful in their local recommendations. We took full advantage of the glorious weather we had and walked every day to places of interest. The cottage is situated in a beautiful valley and we were pleased to have found it. We would certainly recommend it to our friends.

"The cottage was beautiful!"
We loved how secluded it was & the hosts were very welcoming.

"Gorgeous cottage in a secluded and peaceful location with nature surrounding you."
Easy access to The Dales, Lakes, Forest of Bowland and Lancashire/Cumbrian coast, so lots of options for outdoor pursuits within great scenery and close to historic places. Close enough to well stocked village shops and pubs serving food.Very comfortable cottage, spotless and cosy. Hosts very welcoming and helpful.

"Excellent holiday, most comfortable and best equiped cottage we have ever stayed in."
Fantastic surroundings if somewhat hilly for walking,
-
"When you arrive at a property and it looks exactly like the photos on the website is definitely a bonus."
What a lovely place to stay. Comfortable furniture and beds, and everything that we needed, plus some extra goodies, and Sal and Kev were on hand to sort out any queries. Mobile phone coverage was a little bit erratic, but Wi-Fi Calling worked brilliantly with the High Speed Broadband. Quiet and peaceful and yet only a short drive to local shops and for eating out, also good road connection for exploring the area. Kendal, Morecambe, Lancaster, and Skipton are all within easy reach. Another excellent property from Sykes Cottages.

"Had a fabulous time we spent a week here the cottage was spotless and everything you required was provided."
