"Loved our accommodation, tastefully renovated, very comfortable big bed & well stocked kitchen."
Fabulously warm & didn't need the log burner, oodles of hot water. Perfectly situated on the outskirts of Ingleton for many walks & attractions in this stunningly beautiful countryside with breathtaking views from the kitchen window. We hope to return next year to continue our adventures. Extremely friendly & helpful hostess Fiona, thank you for the welcome, personally we would have appreciated larger bath towels/sheets but there were plenty provided. Anne & Paul

"A lovely building full of character, very clean, nice and quiet, bed really comfortable."
Lovely touches of hospitality from Fiona. Nice pub nearby and short walk to Ingleton waterfalls trail.

"We had a wonderful stay at the Magistrates chambers and it was lovely to meet Fiona on our last day."
The building was amazing and we had a lovely welcome hamper to enjoy during our stay. The location was wonderful just a short walk from Ingleton, pubs and restaurants just down the road. We completed the Three Peak challenge at the beginning of our holiday and the only complaint we had was there are no washing facilities as this part of the refurbishment is still in progress. Fiona was very helpful and offered to do a wash for us which was very kind. We would definately recommend and return to the magistrates chambers. Thank you for a wonderful stay and hope to see you soon! Rachel x

"The Magistrates Chambers is fantastic!"
The location nearby the town center of Ingleton, nearby the river, nearby the best bakery!! Just wonderful. As soon as you enter the premises you experience the special character of this building! Inside the cottage, which is wonderful and very tasteful decorated. What stands out? Everything!! The cleanliness, the completeness, the wonderful beds, the separate kitchen with lovely views! In one word SUPERB!! Fiona is truly a wonderful host.

"Situated on a noisy (30mph) road which was more like a racetrack at times it certainly wasn't up to the standard we are used to with Sykes."
Anyone thinking of going should be aware of lots of steps. One in the kitchen up to the sink unit, then at the top of stairs to small landing then 5 steps up to the right for main bedroom and 1 step to single bedroom. A few hooks on wall for hanging clothes but just one 4 foot high wardrobe in main bedroom which was used to store pillows. Loose taps. However Fiona was very nice and welcoming
Dear Gill Thank you for your feed back. It was lovely to have met you last week, I m sorry you did not have an amazing time, the Court house team work very hard to ensure the Magistrates is comfortable and clean, enabling our guests to have the best holiday experience. I feel disappointed and perplexed in regards to some of the issues raised in your review. In regards to the stairs. I am in agreement with you. We would not like anyone to stay in the property that has problem with stairs. In the Sykes description, it is clearly stated that the property is over 2 levels. With the exception of the small sink platform, the stair configuration is explained. It is also stated the it may not be suitable for people who are less mobile. They are same amount of stairs than an average double story property. however due to the unique historic nature of the building, they are arranged slightly differently. The property is situated on a main road in a in the dales village approx 200 meters from the base of Ingleborough peak and the village amenities. As a consequence, we have unavoidable traffic. It would be lovely to control how other people drive, Unfortunately I can’t. The room doesn’t not allow for a large wardrobe, most guests find the smaller wardrobe and coat hooks adequate. The additional pillows we supply can be taken out of the wardrobe. We leave them in the wardrobe so guests can see that available for use. Thanks you for letting us know about the taps. Kind regards and we wish you well with your future holidays Fiona Property Owner

"We really enjoyed our stay in the Magistrates Chambers ."
The property was such a lovely and comfortable place to stay . The owner Fiona contacted me to check everything was okay with our stay and we met her also during the week . The welcome pack of tea, coffee , biscuits and bread was a lovely touch too ! We will definitely be back
-
"Second time we’ve stayed in Magistrates Chambers, excellent well maintained property in good location."
Welcome pack from owner nice touch. Lots to do in and around Ingleton, will definitely return.
-
"A wonderful place to stay - beautiful building, a very comfortable and restful place to spend time in."
Kitchen was well equipped and we had everything we needed there. Also a great location for walking and exploring the local area (can walk up Ingleborough from the door!). Would recommend and hope to return again.
-
"The Magistrates Chambers were cosy, comfy, clean and very tastefully decorated."
We loved the older features visible alongside the new. Doors, wooden panels and some flooring nodded to the building's history. We loved hearing owls at night and despite the road nearby it was very quiet. We walked a lot - Ingleton waterfalls, Whernside and Malham cove - so coming hot to a hot shower, cosy sitting room and log burner was luxury. Kitchen was very well equipped and the welcome sourdough loaf was very happily received! Thank you Fiona.
-
"The Magistrates Chambers was a perfect retreat to spend Christmas and the decorations and the Christmas tree was a bonus."
The weather was horrendous but it made the cottage even cosier with the log burners alight. It is set in an ideal location to explore the surrounding areas and Ingleton Village had all the necessary amenties including pubs, cafe and the Co-op, along with gift, pottery and hiking shops and a return visit is on the cards and we hope the weather will be kinder. Phill and Fiona, our hosts, are only to willing to help in way and provided a welcoming basket and bottle of bubbly on arrival. Thank you for the opportunity to stay Kind regards Roger and Dawne Nottingham

"This holiday let was amazing, it was warm and cozy had everything we needed ."
The traffic was no problem and Fiona was on hand if we Needed any further information. This is a great place to stay .
-
"We have two holidays a year at Magistrates Court."
It's such a lovely place to stay with easy access to the lakes and Yorkshire. Fiona and Phil are the perfect hosts and nothing is too much trouble. Excellent accommodation, comfortable and well equipped
-
"We loved our stay in the Magistrates Chambers."
It’s a beautiful property and Ingleton was the perfect base. Fiona couldn’t have been more helpful. We are booking again for next year. Would definitely recommend
-
"I loved staying at Fiona's place!"
The location is perfect - no more than 5 minutes (with a 3 year old walker) from the shops and pubs. And about 10-15 mins to the waterfall trail. It is also about 10 mins walk to the bus station (which we used every day since I am not a driver). The apartment is nicely decorated. It feels like being in a boutique hotel. In cold months, the apartment gets warm really quickly. I loved the view from the kitchen and sitting in comfortable sofas in the evenings. The shower worked great, too. Fiona, the owner, is such a great host. I loved the welcome pack she got ready for us. It was more appreciated since my children and I arrived very late after a 4 hour delay. I wouldn't get a chance to go to shops that late. Fiona also helped me with the online grocery delivery that I had missed. She also invited me to see her current project up the stairs - very exciting! I really loved staying at the cottage and communicating with Fiona. Thank you very much and I hope to visit soon again.

"We had a wonderful sunny week in this lovely well renovated and comfortably furnished period house."
It is close to village facilities, spectacular countryside views but also a short distance to the West coast, Morecambe Bay and the Southern Lake District . It is sited on a busy road with heavy traffic from early hours but this did not detract from our enjoyment. Thank you for a lovely holiday.
-
"Excellent property."
Home from home. Nice touches from the owner who left tea coffee biscuits bread milk butter plus all cleaning materials. Very handy for pubs and restaurants etc. Great views from the rear window. A nice little seating outside to enjoy wine in the evening, if the weather permits. Only observation is that the bath needs either replacing or installing a walk in shower. Would definitely return and recommend to friends and family.
-
"We enjoyed a wonderful week at Magistrates Chambers."
The property was beautifully presented with everything we could need, and fantastic views as a bonus. Ingleton provided a good range of facilities, and lovely walks from the doorstep. The only negative was some confusion on arrival - Sykes directions for parking/ key collection were unclear, and although detailed instructions are apparently sent separately by the very helpful owner these had been misdirected so we didn't get them! That aside, a fabulous place to stay and highly recommended.
-
"Magistrates Chambers was perfectly located to explore The Dales."
It was well presented, comfortable and had everything we needed. The owner couldn’t have been more helpful especially with arrangements for our late evening arrival, the welcome tray of goodies was a lovely surprise we would definitely stay again.
-
"Perfect property with character, much appreciated welcome pack including freshly baked sourdough loaf."
Comfortable and warm, well equipped and spotless. Ingleton great base for walking and also Settle to Carlisle train journey with spectacular scenery. The best Sykes property we have stayed in so far, will return in near future.
-
"Fabulous property with everything needed for a wonderful stay."
Ingleton is a lovely village and the property was in a great location for walks and caves. We really enjoyed it . Thank you for the welcome gifts we had to go buy another sour dough loaf from the local bakery it was lovely. Nice to have met you Fiona and thank you for a lovely stay.
-
"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here."
The property was comfortable, cosy, well equipped and clean. We were especially grateful for our welcome pack after a long journey. The owners were so helpful and kind. We would stay here again at the drop of a hat. We loved our holiday home for the week.
-
"We had a wonderful week at Magistrates Chambers."
The property is superb and the welcome pack was very thoughtful. My husband loved the biscuits! We had a great time exploring the local area (we can recommend the Ingleton waterfalls trail, Kirby Lonsdale and walks around Ribblehead viaduct) but especially loved returning each evening to relax in front of the log burner. The property was all we were looking forward to and more. We enjoyed a really relaxing week. Thank you Fiona for creating such a lovely place for us to stay.
-
"Just the same as last year when we stayed here the place was perfect."
This time round I was wise to the small step into the second bedroom and didn’t trip on it. There really is nothing that we would change.
-
"Beautiful house warm and cosy with lots of beautiful detail."
Fiona the owner couldn’t have been more helpful and also left provisions on our arrival and a lovely card welcoming us. It’s as listed and I will definitely be going back. The village is perfectly placed for everything within the beautiful dales area. Thanks for listing such a great property Dawn
-
"Excellent stay in a fantastic property."
Location is excellent for exploring the Dales, Forest of Bowland and the South lakes. The property is well appointed with most facilities you could need, excellent hosts with great communication before and during our stay.
-
"We found the metal dish drainer on the sink awkward in the small space and we should have noted that the toilet was downstairs from the bedroom."
Otherwise we had a very pleasant stay and the village had lots of facilities.
-
"This is a great property."
We had a wonderful stay and slept really well. Great location for those who like walking as the dales and beautiful walks are so close
-
"Lovely accommodation in an idyllic location."
Would highly recommend this property it had everything we needed for a great weeks holiday. Great base for exploring local area.
-
"Lovely place for a week of exploring in The Yorkshire Dales."
Comfortable, very very clean and well equipped. Great communication with owners too.
-
"We had a lovely time and The Magistrates Chambers was exactly as described outstanding."
Thank you
-
"Great amount of space in each room at this accommodation and it is really cosy and the building itself is really nice."
We really enjoyed our stay here. Kitchen has some really helpful appliances (including a microwave, electric cooker). The sun deck is great with the weather being sunny. Excellent location, near Ingleborough and was just easy couple of minutes to walk to the village. Host was welcoming and kindly provided bread, tea, coffee, etc.
-
"The Magistrates Chambers , is comfortable, well laid out and has everything you would need for a pleasant break."
It is very quiet with no evident rural noise to interrupt your sleep. We would have no hesitation in booking it again. The village of Ingleton is well served with pubs, Restaurants and a fish & chip shop. The location is great for visits to both the Dales and Lake District . Highly recommended.
-
"Good communication from the owners."
A wonderful cottage with everything we needed for a great week. Easy to find and in a great location for the western Dales. Spotlessly clean, comfortable seating and bed and a good shower. We'd definitely rebook if we were coming back to this area.
-
"Firstly before we even arrived the communication with the owners made us feel relaxed and welcome."
The accomodation was way above our expectations, such a stunning building inside and out.The parking space in front of the The Old Court house building was like gold dust. Inside we had everything you could need for a relaxing stay and the decor and little additions here and there made it special. Even better was the Wheatsheaf pub was only a 5 min walk away and the rest of Ingleton inluding the spectacular falls was about 10 mins walk. We managed to do the Ingleborough nature walk & Cave, Ingleton Falls, RSPB Leighton Moss and Fell end reserves. Dont forget to try the Seasons bakery just nearby in walking distance too. Would definitely stay again and have already recommended The Magistrate Chambers to friends and family. Thank you for creating such a stunning accomodation. Glenn & Caroline Hull
-
"Comfortable accommodation well equipped everything we required for our stay."
Good quality renovation of this lovely former court house. Ideal location for walking the three peaks and traveling around this area of the Yorkshire Dales. We would recommend this property if you wish to walk a village and Ingleton Waterfalls which are a short stroll away.
-
"Excellent stay and the cottage was well presented and comfortable Great village location."
-
"We spent a lovely week over the Easter holiday."
The cottage had everything we needed and was ideally located for what we had planned to do around the Dales. Hope to return one day.
-
"Spotlessly clean."
Nice touches with the bread and butter and the biscuits. Clear instructions and good communication from the owners. Made for a really relaxing long weekend.
-
"A great place to stay with loads to do in the local area."
-
"Quality, attractive and comfortable accommodation in a lovely location."
Excellent hosts, friendly local pubs and beautiful scenery. Couldn’t have wished for more.
-
"The house was beautifully furnished and very clean."
The Christmas decorations and welcome hamper were lovely details. However there were a number of things we were disappointed with. We couldn’t get any hot water for a hot shower during our stay. I believe there is a technique to it but we couldn’t make it work (we were able to get hot water for the bath though). The internet was also very patchy and kept cutting out during movies. We also ran out of firewood after the first night and were told we had to restock ourselves. There was none left in the local coop and we had to do a 40 min round trip to find some more. One of these factors wouldn’t have been a big problem, but all combined, we left feeling disappointed and like we had been quite overcharged for our stay. We do not feel the price charged was appropriate for the property.
-
"A brilliant, much needed, Christmas break in a beautiful part of the world."
And a Christmas tree and decorations as well.
-
"Probably the best welcome pack we have ever been greeted by."
All the rooms were perfectly set out and made for a very comfortable stay. If I could change one thing it would be to do something about the small step into the second bedroom. It was so low as to be not visible causing us to trip on it more than once. Perhaps change the carpet on the step to a contrasting colour?
-
"We had an enjoyable and comfortable stay at the Magistrates Chambers."
A very tasteful renovation and adaptation of the original police station and courthouse. We did the Ingleton waterfall trail and would recommend that. The bread from Seasons bakery is lovely and we took some of it home with us to put in the freezer!
-
"Perfect location for exploring the Yorkshire Dales."
The property had everything we needed. Probably the most comfortable beds we've ever slept in! Welcome pack was a lovely touch. We just need the sunshine next time we visit!
-
"Lovely accommodation with very helpful host who went out of her way to ensure we had a comfortable stay."
-
"We really enjoyed our stay."
It felt like home from day one. Fiona and Phill were very hospitable and friendly. Ingleton is a delight.
-
"We had a lovely week in Ingleton the Magistrates Chambers was very clean comfortable and well equipped."
We arrived a little early so met the owners Fiona and Phill who welcomed us warmly and gave us suggestions about best places to eat and visit.The Welcome pack was much appreciated would definitely recommend this property to family and friends. The only negative was the traffic noise lots of heavy lorries.
-
"Excellent week away in a very nice spot situated in an ideal location for both North Yorkshire or the Lakes."
The owners were very helpful, prior to our visit they furnished us, online, with all the information we might need. I think the absolute test for satisfaction is the question, would you visit again. YES
-
"We really enjoyed our stay in this unique property which has been nicely converted into a holiday let."
Road noise mentioned by others wasn't actually that bad and it is something I would normally be sensitive to. Ear plugs are provided but I didn't feel the need to use them as the noise of the occasional passing vehicle after 6am wasn't that intrusive. We also had no issues with the cockerel, never heard it at all. Probably due to covid, cushions weren't provided on the sofas so this meant that they perhaps weren't as comfortable as they could have been. Also the bed in the double room was too soft for me and the mattress had some 'roll together', so that did impact on the quality of my sleep. The kitchen has limited storage and workspace, but the room overall looks lovely and is well equipped. Whilst sitting at the table for meals the view was wonderful. The heating and hot water were great, and simple enough to use. Decent water pressure in the shower, and the sinks in the two bedrooms are a thoughful addition as it meant the main bathroom use was kept to just toilet and shower visits. The place was spotlessly clean and quality linen and towels were provided. We'd love to stay again at some point as the cottage is in a great location for waking into the centre of Ingleton and driving to many nearby places of interest.
-
"Great little place to stay in a lovely village."
The owners were very responsive when we needed to contact them.
-
"Lovely house in perfect location for exploring the Dales and the Lakes."
House very clean and darling little note and welcome gift. Only points that could really improve it would be the internet connection (we found it patchy and for wet weather days with a toddler especially it can be handy to be able to stream Disney+ or YouTube). Only other “nice to have” item would be a small dishwasher but that is because I am lazy and don’t want to do dishes when on holiday! We hope to come back and hire both “Magistrates Chambers” and “The Cells” so that parents can also come with. Thanks for a lovely and much needed break! Anyone visiting, do not neglect to go to the bakery down the road, best sourdough bread as well as many other treats both sweet and savoury.
-
"This is a great place to stay the building and the surrounding area are stunning ..."
This is a great place to stay the building and the surrounding area are stunning and the little touches from the owners are greatly appreciated
-
"The magistrates chambers was immaculate with all the things you need for a comfortable stay."
Decorated tastefully with lots of character and lovey views of the surrounding area. The village is just 2 minutes walk away with local shops, supermarket, cafes and pubs. Would recommend the wheatsheaf pub for food and beer garden and the curlew craft tea room for the best homemade ice cream. We did the three Yorkshire peaks which were stunning (ingleborough, pen y ghent and whernside). Clapham and Kirkby Lonsdale are nearby and worth a visit. Didn't want to leave.
-
"Gorgeous accommodation had everything you could need."
Easy walk (few minutes) to pub shop etc . Lovely welcome pack on arrival from owners. Just to warn others there was more road noise then we expected. The road is quite busy from early in the morning. However this would not stop me from booking again if I was to return to Ingleton.
-
"We loved the magistrates court its location was perfect just on the edge of the village but within a few minutes walk."
The owners had gone above and beyond with cleanliness, providing extra cleaning products and having a shared entrance with easy to follow instructions. A perfect holiday with plenty to see.
-
"Superb accommodation 1st class"
-
"Magistrate’s Chambers is a beautiful cottage in an ideal location in the Yorkshire Dales."
We stayed with our 18 month old daughter and found it was perfect for our family trip. We would highly recommend and would certainly stay at Magistrate’s Chambers again.
-
"The cottage was tastefully decorated throughout, it was fabulous."
We didnt think it would be that nice! Super cosy and an added bonus of it being decorated for Christmas. The beds were really comfortable, we were in bed early every night! It really Is a 3 minute walk down the road to the centre of the town to pick up supplies or have a drink. We found the Old Post Office was our favourite and then the Masons on the road near the coop petrol station was super friendly and a great selection of yummy food. We did the Ingleton waterfalls which I would recommend if you are able to walk over rugged terrain. Only very minor draw back was there weren't enough cleaning products / facilities supplied. As we were staying for a week with a 2 year old it really would have helped having a washing machine and I also would have liked to have been able to clean around the fireplace better as it was a battle trying to keep the bits off the wood, ash etc. contained. Other than that we would stay again and would definitely recommend for people to stay there. Excited to see how the upstairs will turn out once they have finished renovating!
-
"A unique holiday let which has been lovingly and tastefully renovated and decorated to a high standard."
I would definitely recommend staying at The Magistrates Chambers.
-
"Fantastic house with great quality facilities, great location and friendly & helpful hosts!"
we had a really lovely, relaxing week away.
-
"Fabulous cottage, on 2 levels, everything you could need."
-
"The drawing room is a little dark and the lighting is only just about adequate."
A standard lamp would have been useful for reading/knitting. Beautiful area with lovely walks direct from the house.
-
"Lovely flat and beautifully decorated."
Owner very welcoming and could not have been more helpful. Perhaps make it clear in description that the cottage is on a main road.
-
"Absolutely fantastic Authentic accommodation in a stunning location."
I would thoroughly recommend to anyone.
-
"Magistrates Chambers is a lovely base for seeing wonderful Yorkshire."
Everything you need is there. It is warm and cosy and clean. The beds are very comfortable and the cockerel did not wake us at all, just the morning traffic as it is next to a main road.
-
"The Magistrate's chambers was very comfortable and affordable."
The owner left her number incase we needed her ( we didn't) it was beautifully decorated, warm and clean. Situated in a village location very close by to some spectacular views and walks. I would definitely recommend this apartment on 3 levels.
-
"Everything was as advertised."
had some contact with the owners who were extremely nice and very helpful
-
"We had a lovely long weekend stay in the magistrates chambers."
Easy to find and instructions from fiona on how to get in really clear. Lovely to be met with a tea tray on arrival and the shortbread went down well. Ideally located for walking and the waterfall trail is a must! Having a choice of pubs and restaurants in walking distance was ideal. Property itself was equipped just right for a long weekend.. and please don't be put off by the "farm" or "cockeral" noises commented by others.. the walls are so thick we barely heard it!!!
-
"The owner Fiona is very helpfull and she could not do enough to make sure we had a good holiday thank you"
-
"The property exceeded expectations based on details on website and photos seen."
The tea, coffee, milk and cakes were very thoughtful after a long drive. The house was beautifully warm despite the cold weather. Every room was well presented and very well equipped for the needs of three people. The ear plugs for potential animal noises was a very nice touch but soon 'tuned out' and didn't need them. Would highly recommend this property 10/10.
-
"This place is lovely."
When we arrived there was a personal happy birthday message left for my husband with a cake and bottle of yummy prosecco. Such a lovely place. The beds are so comfortable and the log fires made our evenings. I would recommend this accommodation to families and couples if they are wanting to just get away and relax :)
-
"The Magistrates Court is without doubt the best property that we have booked with Sykes Cottages."
The owners have created a unique and well designed holiday accommodation. You realise how much care has been taken with the furnishing. We just loved staying there.
