"Had a lovely relaxing stay."
A snack was even provided on arrival, also milk and eggs in fridge. Cottage was warm and cosy with lovely views. Bed and bedding very comfortable. Lovely area for walking and a big bonus the Settle to Carlisle railway can be seen. A real treat seeing Sir Nigel Gresley come down the line. Nice shops at Hawes to visit. Thank you for a lovely stay.
Many thanks for your kind comments. Glad you enjoyed your week with us.

"The cottage and the setting was nice."
The only issue was the shower, the welcome pack was lovely including marvelous eggs and gorgeous marmalade. Unfortunately during our week the weather was frightful and Hawes was being dug up so we didn't get the full experience. That was no fault of the owners though just our bad luck

"Lovely cottage, clean, welcoming, and had a lovely feeling to it."
The owners/neighbours were very friendly and gave great advice about the local area and its interesting history. Had the best nights sleep there. Great base for exploring the dales and being able to come back again to a quiet, homely space. The only real downside was the shower head which didn't really produce much water, personally I didn't really mind as I was only there to hike and rest and there is a bath to use. Really enjoyed my stay and would recommend. A stunning part of the country to be in.

"Generally we enjoyed our stay, very comfy."
The owners are very generous, in supplying lots of toiletries, never seen so many,they have thought off everything. Plus gave us a lovely jar of homemade marmalade, cakes , milk and eggs to start with. Our only gripe was the shower, it was just a slow trickle,could do with a new shower altogether or more pressure. Nothing was too much trouble, if we needed to know anything. The cottage is in a great position for getting out and about.

We really enjoyed our stay here, tho all hell came Friday night as the storms hit with driving snow and then the loss of the electricity we made a run for home, with one hell of a trip home. We would be very happy to go back again.

"We booked Sycamore Cottage for 1 week."
The owners live next door to the cottage and are very friendly and helpful. The cottage is in a beautiful and relaxing area and is very homely and well equipped.
The nearest supermarkets are in Hawes (6 miles) and Sedburgh (11 miles), so make sure you take any provisions you need.
The owners very kindly left 6 fresh eggs, a pint of milk, tea, coffee, biscuits and some cake.
The nearest pub is only ¾ mile away and serves food all day. We didn’t get the chance to go there as we either made our own meals at the cottage or ate out in the villages that we visited each day.
There are plenty of footpaths available to go walking directly from the cottage. Alternatively, a short drive to the surrounding areas provides many opportunities to go walking, cycling and swimming under waterfalls.
A very enjoyable week indeed, and would definitely return for another holiday.

"The cottage was an ideal getaway."
Great location for walking and birdwatching. Hawes only 6 miles away and the famous book town of Sedbergh is 12 miles away. The hosts were welcoming and friendly. No wonder guests return time and again. the kitchen is very well equipped with everything you are likely to need. The hosts provided a welcome tea tray and welcome pack of marmalade,milk, eggs,biscuits, tea and coffee which was a delightful surprise. The eggs were from their own chickens. The bathroom is well stocked including bath products for that long soak in the bath you might want after a day of walking or climbing mountains.There was even a little library on local books on the Dales.

"The cottage was lovely and have everything you could possibly need."
The biscuits (for us and the dog), tea and coffee were very much appreciated on arrival. The cottage was warm and cosy with amazing views, and good pub just up the road (dog friendly) which served lovely food.
The only thing the cottage doesn't have is Wi-Fi and neither O2 or Vodaphone have any phone signal, it didn't bother us as its nice to get away from it all, the pub up the road has Wi-Fi if you need it for planning your trips out.
The owners were welcoming and friendly and we are planning to return soon.
