• "We had the most wonderful time at Meadow Cottage and will absolutely be back one day."

  It is such a thoughtfully designed space, perfect for a family stay, and so very cosy. We loved how peaceful and remote the cottage was, without being far away at all from places like Bolton Abbey and Malham. Exploring the Yorkshire Dales all day, and then coming home to Meadow Cottage to play board games by the fire, was heaven. The owners were friendly, helpful and there for anything we needed during our stay.

• "The house is spacious, warm, spotlessly clean and comfortable, we loved our stay there."

  It is in a quiet rural location but with easy access to Skipton and the Dales, and there is so much to do within a short drive (we particularly liked Haworth). The owners were welcoming and helpful and we could not fault the house in any way. We will be back!

• "We had a warm welcome from the owner and surprise gifts, gratefully received."

  The cottage had a lovely patio which we made full use of to enjoy spectacular sunsets and wind down after busy days of sightseeing. The owner gave us some great advice for places to visit. We saw quite an array of wildlife whilst there too. We were also lucky enough to be able to see the incredible superman one evening with the partial eclipse.

• "Our stay was perfect."

  Thank you so much for the lovely welcome pack and for the recommendations of where to visit. We loved our trip on the train from Settle to Carlisle. Meadow Cottage was a ‘home from home’ and we definitely hope to return. The space and comfort was brilliant and the views from the cottage and surrounding countryside were amazing. I wonder how many times I said ‘stunning’ whilst we were there? The beds were so comfortable and this was a stay we will not forget in a hurry. Thank you so much Joan and Derek

• "Another lovely stay at Meadow Cottage and lovely weather too."

  This was our 3rd visit and would highly recommend. Beautiful, peaceful location, with sheep, rabbits and birds for neighbours. Yet only a short drive to local amenities. Spacious, light, airy, immaculate detached cottage with everything you could ask for. Lovely treats on arrival and Derek, Joan and family are friendly, helpful and relaxed. We always look forward to our stays.

• "The property was lovelly."

  Very comfortable, warm and inviting, especially as the weather was not at its best. The owner and her family are at hand if need be, and you are made to feel very welcome. The cottage is set about 5 minutes from the main road which takes you in either direction to places of interest . The lounge has patio doors which give amazing views in all directions. We were lucky to watch the lambs mature in the week we were there. Also lovely to watch and hear the curlews, also herons,hares and rabbits. Sadly didn't see an owl. Would we go back again, yes in a heart beat and definitely intend to soon.

• "Another lovely stay at Meadow Cottage."

  Despite the weather being rather foul, the cottage is so warm and comfortable it doesn’t matter (and the views are lovely whatever the weather)! The cottage is well appointed and Derek and Joan are on hand and very friendly and helpful. Our visit this time was to visit friends and family but there are lots of lovely places to visit if holidaying in the area (including Haworth, the steam railway, Wycoller Park, Hebden Bridge and further afield Skipton and the Dales). Would not hesitate in recommending, we had a lovely stay.

• "It's difficult to add to the previous reviews about this property on the Sykes Cottages site."

  Like almost everyone, we had a wonderful 10-nights stay at Meadow Cottage, enjoying the lovely surroundings and the peace. The cottage is spacious, impeccably clean and very well equipped. Beds very comfortable. We had little contact with Joan (Derek was away), but that was also very pleasant. We'd unreservably recommend Meadow Cottage and we'll be back! One reviewer had a problem finding the cottage, but we found the directions to be clear, and any doubt towards the end of the 3 minutes' run from the main road was resolved by a helpful board at the last corner. Tip: enter Moss End Lane, Cowling, into your sat. nav. Ours didn't record the further roads, but once on that lane, the cottage's instructions are fine.

• "We loved everything about our stay at Meadow Cottage."

  The owners and their family are absolutely lovely and very friendly without interfering at all. They couldn’t do enough to help. The cottage is very homely and beautifully furnished and clean. Great views across the fields. Although the weather wasn’t good during our stay we were always happy to return to such comfortable accommodation. Just one request would be for an EV charger to be installed. We have an electric car and struggled to find any local charging points. We’d definitely return if a charger was installed. Highly recommend other than that. Love to be back.

  It's surrounded by beautiful countryside and is so peaceful. Our daughter loves staying here, it's her favourite place. The cottage is very well equipped and we would give it 10 stars for cleanliness. We didn't know owners Derek and Joan and their family when we first stayed there but they are lovely hosts, so kind and always happy to help and we look forward to seeing them. Meadow Cottage is the loveliest place to come back to after a day out enjoying all the lovely places to visit nearby such as Harrogate, Ilkley, Skipton, Bolton Abbey and Cliffe Castle this time thanks to a recommendation from Joan.

• "Meadow Cottage ."

  . Yorkshire's finest Meadow Cottage must rate as one of the best holiday accomodations we have hired and really felt like a home from home. The property was very spacious, furnished to an extremely high standard and fully equipped with all you could possibly need for a comfortable stay. Everything was found to be spotlessly clean and tidy on arrival, with the gift of wine and chocolates, a nice surprise and most gratefully received. Derek, Joan and family were wonderful hosts, always on hand if we needed them but not at all intrusive .. our friendly chats together made us feel very welcome. The location itself is ideal for exploring all the beauty of the Yorkshire Dales, Brontë country is on the doorstep, but places such as York and Harrogate are still within easy reach. All in all, we highly recommend a vacation here and are already looking forward to our return visit in the not too distant future.

• "The cottage is well furnished and peaceful in a beautiful setting."

  We liked it enormously. The only issue we had was getting there. The directions are not at all helpful. We had to ring the owner to talk us in! The cottage is in an isolated location and the directions require some reference points to holidaymakers not familiar with the area. Also there are two sets of directions on the sheet which confuses.

  Meadow Cottage is just the opposite, the quality of the finish in this Cottage is just outstanding. It is just stunning, the owners Joan & Derek are a really lovely couple. The views from the Cottage are really nice, to look out of the Windows and see rolling hills full of sheep just grazing and the peacefullness brings a calm tranquil feeling to you. After all that has been happening over the last few months this was a very welcome feeling once more. The Cottage is just so comfortable and very well laid out. The town of Skipton is not to far away so any shopping that you may require i am sure that you will get from there as it has a wonderful selection of shops. The drive to Skipton as some really nice scenery to view. I truly could not fault our stay at Meadow Cottage we had a beautiful relaxing time there and we would like to thank Joan and Derek for allowing us the use of this beautiful Cottage " Thank You"
