"Lovely cottage, shower overflowed, main bedroom cold as no heating in room."
Overall a great cottage

"We have stayed here twice and hope to return again."
It is the nicest s/c we have stayed in with everything you could need and in a lovely area. Real home from home

"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!
Thank you so much for your feedback, we are delighted that you enjoyed your stay. I can only apologise for the confusion with the hairdryer, I had thought I had written its location in the welcome pack but I possibly didn’t. I will rectify this as soon as I can. Property Owner

"Lovely cottage with plenty of room and just a short walk to the village We went out walking most days and gargrave is a great base to access some wonderful hikes."
Trip to York was lovely, the scenery for the first half of the journey is beautiful. It was a pleasure to come home to the cottage and relax at the end of the day

"Very pleasant cottage in a quieter part of the village which we preferred."
More than adequate for our needs as using as a base for exploring the Dales. Was our second stay here.
Thank you for your feedback. I’d be happy to hear your comments on how we can make any improvements. Property Owner

A very spacious property and beautiful views.

"Absolutely gorgeous place and in a lovely location, with some stunning scenery."
The property is very warm and welcoming. There was a lot of caring touches, such as well catered for welcome tray including treats for the dog and two gorgeous decorated Christmas trees as we visited over the Christmas period. We would Highly recommend and look forward to coming back to this place.
Thank you for your feedback. We are very pleased that you enjoyed your stay and look forward to welcoming you again in the future. Claire Property Owner

"Great property big enough for us all."
Kitchen was well equipped. The welcome pack was really lovely and thoughtful. The pint of milk was fab been years since I’ve had a bottle of milk. Beds were super comfortable and bedding was warm as an older property it does get cold. The heating was great and the fire on an evening sharp warmed the room up. Pubs for meals were both walking distance but defo recommend booking we couldn’t get into the old swan as was fully booked. I would take my dog the next time as I think it would be perfect. Would love to return in the summer the area is beautiful and Skipton is excellent.
Thank you so much for your feedback. We are pleased that you enjoyed your stay and look forward to welcoming you back in the future. Property Owner

"Really fabulous place, well located, everything we needed for a few days away."
The house was as described, clean and well presented, and was the perfect place to rest up after a hard day's walking in the autumn air – it was particularly nice to put the gas fire on in the front room making it warm and toasty. We'll definitely be booking again! It's useful to know that the house is just on the edge of Gargrave, so a 8 minute walk into the village centre. It's located on a narrow track where parking is tight but a sign meant there was always a space for us directly outside the house.

"This is lovely clean, spacious, comfortable, well equipped cottage."
Location great in a lovely village with plenty little local walks for dogs. Great location for travelling to near by villages and towns. We loved Malham, Grassington, Skipton and Hebden Bridge but was loads of other places we would have liked to have visited so will be back
-
"The house was just ideal."
It’s in a pretty and friendly village, quiet with lovely walks, but it also has a good coop and a choice of places to eat. We loved having two sitting areas so some could watch TV while others chatted. The utility room was great for bikes and muddy boots (and paws!). We would happily recommend and book again.

"Very nice clean cottage ,very well maintained , loverly welcome pack, had a fab time ."
-
"Loved the cottage."
Neighbours were polite and all said hello. Cottage had all the necessary facilities and well placed for a short walk into Gargrave with great places to eat and drink plus the Co-op for any supplies. Welcome pack is a nice idea and appreciated Back door is slightly stiff but otherwise a great place.
-
"Very spacious and clean property in quiet location within very pleasant village with both river and canal walks."
Good facilities in the village and Skipton just an easy drive away. Nice walks, scenery, and picturesque villages close by. Very enjoyable stay and appreciated the wine and essentials provided on our arrival.
-
"Lovely quiet spacious cottage and found owner very helpful when we had a concern with back door."
Also lovely friendly neighbours either side. Very pleasant stay here on our 4th visit to Gargrave. Our dogs loved watching the cows go by every morning . Would certainly come here again.
-
"The property had a home from home feel about it."
The beds were very comfy the decor was on point, clean white walls & loved how all the bedrooms had curtains to match the name of the cottage it was a very nice touch. The complimentaries left for us were fab tea, coffee, hot chocolate, wine and shortbread biscuits. We had a very nice stay. The dining room bulb went on the Friday and there were nowhere to say where any spare bulbs where to be able to change it for the next people. There was no prop for the washing line.

"Hi we had a lovely stay at the cottage beautifully clean and tidy."
Lovely neighbours. Kids loved the cows just at random times there was a smell coming from them but you get used to it. we had some beautiful walks not too far like malham cove. thank you
-
"Situated in a quiet corner of the village with wide country views handy for park and local shops and pubs."
Presentation of cottage with kingfisher theme first class with good quality bed linen and towels. Excellent shower and well equipped kitchen. Comfy seating areas in lounge and dining room with gas fires if needed ( not used). The utility annex’offered washer and drier and an alternative entrance for wet weather. The welcome tray was much appreciated with tv dvd player wi-fi books and selection of games for wet weather or days in The only downside was perhaps a lack of second toilet and people not using the recycling bin properly- we ended up taking all our waste back home. Overall would book again
Thank you for your feedback, it is much appreciated. We can only apologise for the recycling bin situation as we do rely on our guests to put the bins out as per the information folder. I will try and make alternative arrangements for this to be done. Regarding the second toilet, it is something we are thinking of, we are just trying to think if a good place to put one. We look forward to welcoming you again in the future. Property Owner

"What a stunning place for a recharge of your battery's and the dogs had a whale ..."
What a stunning place for a recharge of your battery's and the dogs had a whale of a time in the river this trip to Kingfisher cottage won't be our last thank you
-
"This is a well appointed holiday cottage in an interesting village."
Gypsies caused some irritation by parking their caravans in the lane but otherwise the location is good. Due to the heat wave we did less walking than normal. The area is predominantly flat and parking charges near the places of interesting were high. We had a very enjoyable day in Harrogate.
-
"Little gem of a cottage in a beautiful quiet location by the river."
I will definitely be recommending to friends and family. We had a wonderful time.
-
"Lovely cottage."
Very spacious with everything we needed. Thank you for all the little extras. Great to find tea, milk, biscuits etc on arrival. Gargrave is a lovely village. Not much of a garden but not needed as its a quiet area so dog walking was easy and there is a lovely river walk just down the road.
-
"Great comfortable cottage in a lovely location."
It will be better when work on the river is finished but that is unavoidable. It was still possible to sit outside in the evening, weather permitting as work finished early. A couple of things needed in the kitchen, a wooden spoon and a new fish slice. Other than that everything was brilliant.
-
"Great location, met all our needs ."
While the weather was not the best we had great time.
-
"The cottage was very well appointed with modern, attractive decoration."
Lovely cottage but some issues with the cleanliness of the bathroom and the oven and microwave. It might also be worth investing in more crockery, cutlery and utensils.
-
"Lovely, beautiful, warm and very spacious cottage."
The owner had gone to a huge effort to add beautiful Christmas decorations. The gas log burner was lovely. Sadly building works and heavy plant digging all around on this occasion. The garden was unsuitable for dogs as it was about 1m squared, not as described. The photos showed a bigger garden, but that was shared and ungated land between the cottages. It was exhausting and cold having to put two dogs on the lead for toileting and head off for walkies from 6:30am to 10:30pm. This made the holiday a bit challenging, but we still enjoyed a fabulous family get together in a beautiful location.
Thank you for your feedback, I am happy to hear that you enjoyed your time at the cottage. I apologise if there has been any confusion regarding the garden area. The garden is as described in the description stating 'an enclosed patio to the front, along with a rear garden'. Property Owner

"Well present cottage, it was clean, comfortable and spacious."
Quite area and lovely neighbours. The cottage was well equipped (just missing a whisk for the kitchen). Close to amenities (shops/bus/trains), plenty of things to do in the area. Highly recommend! Thank you for a lovely stay.
