• "We had a fantastic stay."

  Photos absolutely don’t do this cottage justice - it’s beautiful, so cute and cozy! It’s very well equipped, we have everything we need. The flapjacks, milk and Prosecco were a lovely treat. The flapjacks were perfect for our Three Peaks Challenge. Amazing location for the Yorkshire Three Peaks. Our only issue, which was no fault of the cottage whatsoever, was our neighbour. One of us parked in the parking space for next door, it was an honest mistake, we genuinely didn’t realise. As soon as we pulled up, the man next door came out straight away and was quite rude to us, after having just done a 11.5 hour hike. There was no need for it at all, he could have politely advised we’d parked in the wrong place. We of course apologised and moved the car straight away, but it just caused unnecessary upset. Other than that, we had an amazing stay, and would definitely stay again when we do the challenge again!

  Thank you for your feedback. We are pleased to hear you found The Stables cute and cosy and had everything you needed for your stay. I am sorry to hear you had a problem with parking. There is ample parking for 2 vehicles opposite The Stables, however if you had let me know there would be more vehicles with your party I could have directed you to where you could have found additional parking, without having to park outside our neighbour's house. We look forward to welcoming you back in the future. Property Owner

  Well equiped with loads of room for 4 people. Parking for one car is right opposite the cottage. Would recommend to anyone wanting to get away and walk the beautiful Yorkshire dales.

• "We really couldn’t fault anything."

  The Stables was perfect for our needs and ideally placed to do the Three Peaks Challenge. It was spotlessly clean, very comfortable, warm and cosy. We had clear instructions on where to collect the key and how to leave things as we left. One couple from our two are hoping to come back again one Christmas when possible. One way or another we will come back to this lovely cottage.

  Thank you for your feedback. We are pleased to hear the cottage was perfect for your needs. We hope to welcome you back to The Stables in the future and hope your friends get the opportunity to come back one Christmas. Property Owner

• "The Stables at Horton in Ribblesdale is a lovely property and is ideally located for exploring Ribblesdale and the Three Peaks area."

  It is clean and comfortable. Good-sized bedrooms and bathroom. The kitchen is well equipped with crockery, cutlery, and glasses, but is lacking in pots and pans and what is there is worn. Some pans have loose handles. The knife block could also do with updating. Most of the knives are nearly blunt. An update of new items would be a good addition. During our stay, there was a powerful drain smell in the kitchen, the far corner between the window and the range, and the shower. One of the selling points for the property is a view of Pen Y Ghent. Sadly, the view is obscured by trees on the other side of the beck, from both downstairs and upstairs. So, there isn't a view at all. These are not criticisms just observations. The Stables is a great cottage. We walked most days directly from the cottage as there are many fine walks to be had without the need to drive.

  Thank you for your feedback. We are pleased to hear you think The Stables is a great cottage and were able to walk directly from the cottage most days. As there are so many great walks directly from the village. Property Owner

• "Such a lovely property."

  It was immaculate upon arrival. We even had some home made flap jack and biscuits for the dog which was wonderful. It had everything we needed. Location was perfect for the start of the 3 peaks challenge and the view from the windows over the hills was amazing! We had plenty of space for the dog and two children and our 1 year old loved paddling in the little river in front of the property. I couldn’t recommend this enough.

  Thank you for your feedback. We are pleased to hear The Stables had everything you needed for your stay and there was plenty of space for your family. The location is great if you are planning to do the 3 peaks and Pen-Y-Ghent can be seen from the cottage. We hope to welcome you back in the future. Property Owner

  plenty of room with everything we needed. Very spacious and comfortable in a great location! Fantastic hosts, I called to get the sofa bed made up (which I should have done before arriving) but this was no trouble and all sorted within 20mins! We climbed Pen Y Ghent, the stables is at the bottom of the trial. We took short drive into settle for a takeaway and ate at the gold lion the 2nd night after our walk (food was average). We would stay here again

• "Authentically converted stone-built stables with a lot of original features."

  Just off the main road but very quiet when I was there in December. Significantly bigger than it appears from the photos. Based on mezzanine floors so unsuitable for anyone with mobility problems.

  Thank you for your feedback on The Stables. In order to keep as many original features as possible the cottage accommodation is on a range of levels with small flights of steps leading to the different areas. This is part of the charm of the property. Property Owner

• "We absolutely loved our stay and found the Stables charming and spacious for the most part (there were a few areas where taller visitors need to be wary)."

  The guest experience was well thought out and the feeling on arrival was very welcoming to both humans and canines alike. The location also provides convenient parking and stunning views. St Oswald's Church to the rear of the property is very charming, and you may even meet the very friendly Vicar. My only slightly negative observations are: There were a few cobwebs, particularly in the shower, and considerable amounts of visible dust above the kitchen cabinets when ascending the stairs. Therefore I feel it could be just a little cleaner. Guests may need to be prepared for noisy hill walkers passing by at 6am if you visit in the peak season. Overall, I would highly recommend The Stables and really enjoyed staying there.

  Thank you for your feedback. We are pleased to hear you loved your stay at The Stables. We can only apologise about the cobwebs in the shower, but we do seemed to be plagued with prolific spiders at the moment. Unfortunately we can not do anything about the enthusiastic 3 peaks walkers setting off on their challenge as they seem unaware not everyone is taking part. On the plus side it is usually only one morning a week. We hope to welcome you back to The Stables in the future. Property Owner

• "Wonderful cottage and very clean with excellent facilities."

  My only complaint is the mattress in the master bedroom. You can feel the springs through the material, this did not make for a good nights sleep. That said, it would not prevent me staying again in the future.

  Thank you for your feedback. We were pleased to hear you thought the cottage was wonderful. It was disappointing to read you had not had a good nights sleep in the master bedroom. When replacing the mattress we had opted for a traditional pocket sprung mattress. We appreciate that there is nothing like your own bed, and many of us like different types of mattresses and so have added a topper to the bed to give an extra layer of comfort. We hope that we can welcome you back to The Stables in the future. Property Owner

  The cottage itself is just lovely, very clean and well equipped with a touch of luxury.

• "We enjoyed our stay at the Stables and having tested its capability with the unseasonably winter weather would look to come year round."

  We found the cottage well equipped and comfortable. In terms of what would improve the quality of our stay a few more spoons and the radiator in the downstairs toilet may remember getting hot but doesn't manage it now. The lovely welcome and delightful lambing service at St Oswalds invites us to hurry back. The broadband is very slow even by rural standards so we couldn't teleconference for work which would increase our chances of renting again.

  Loved extra touches - ornaments were stylish and cushions and throws all added personal touches. Shower gel ect was also an added bonus Position perfect for 3 peaks and other walks. Loved the fire and the snug. Very quiet at night and dog enjoyed looking out of window seats. Appreciated extra fridge freezer washing machine and dishwasher. Only had one dishwasher tablet which was a shame because had brought all my other provisions from home to avoid shopping.. Welcome packs for dog and us were also above expectations and a lovely touch . On arrival in evening it was quite dark and whilst looking for light switches my husband banged his head badly enough to cut it on the beam outside bathroom . So please be careful. We will return

• "The cottage is full of character, reflecting it's original use as a stables with some fine, smooth hardwood that is in the shape of parts of a stable, beams, and even a saddle on the wall adds a sense of its past."

  The range is of a higher spec than would be expected of a holiday let and the kitchen well equipped. Situated where it is, this cottage would be ideal as a base for the three peaks, with one view from the road showing the cottage and Penyghent in the background. But there are lots of alternative days out nearby. The owners have carefully tended beautiful flower baskets around the outside of the property. This is a dog friendly home away from home, but is none the less kept clean and tidy.

• "We have stayed at The Stables previously, which is why the cottage did not exceed our expectations."

  The cottage is beautiful and homely with many luxurious touches, but we feel that it is a little misleading to list it as being in a 'peaceful location' as it is but a stone's throw from the busy B6479 which, although relatively quiet during the evening and night, becomes very noisy from 6 am onwards on weekdays with lorries going to and from Horton quarry thundering past and a steady flow of other traffic and numerous motorcycles at weekends. There are also times when visitors to the cottage may also be woken early by parties of walkers attempting the Three Peaks challenge. On a previous visit, we watched 800 walkers going past (from 5 am onwards) which we found entertaining, but which could have annoyed others. We feel that the cottage would benefit from a full-length mirror, a bread bin and clear instructions for operating the cooker. Otherwise, a fantastic holiday can be enjoyed at The Stables, and we would definitely visit again.
