"Lovely cottage,no issues,just like to stress ,shared garden to dog lovers."

"Cottage was lovely."
In a perfect village.
-
"Lovely property, great spot with good walks from the door."
Really comfortable and well equipped, beds fantastically comfortable and the later check out time is great and takes the pressure off the last day. Parking in front the cottage is tight for larger cars but the permit for the national park car park works really well. We would definitely stay again. Lovely village and well placed for getting to other parts of the dales

"The cottage was absolutely beautiful and was really well equipped."
Kettlewell is a perfect location and has walks in every direction. There are lots of lovely pubs and cafes in kettlewell and the surrounding villages. The village store has lovely pastries you can cook in the oven for breakfast.

"Sofa's need updating, as one at least had started to collapse, however it wouldn't put us off staying again."
I was really shocked when I read this feedback, as we had never received any complaints about the sofas. I drove straight to the cottage, and found there was nothing at all wrong with the sofas, and the new guests said they were really comfortable, and the cottage was lovely. I emailed the gentleman to ask what the problem was. His response was "that they weren't actually collapsing, but one was just too soft for their liking, and there was nothing wrong with the other one." Honestly I am stunned that someone could write such negative feedback, when it isn't even true! Presumably this man leaves a trail of unnecessary complaints every where he goes. Property Owner

"Very well equipped house and exactly as described."
It is worth re-emphasising that the garden is a shared space and not suitable for children and dogs to run about as the actual amount that belongs to the cottage is very narrow. Saying that we sat out in the garden and it is lovely. We kept our dog on a lead out there in respect of the other garden owners. Great walks right out of Kettlewell and two pubs serving food. The Kings Head was closed down when we were there. The village shop stocks extremely limited lines and you can't rely on it for supplies. This is a shame as we like to shop locally when we can.
The fact the garden is a shared space, and dogs need to be supervised in it, is very clearly detailed in the property description, so that is clear before booking. It's a beautiful, open garden space, and would be spoilt if fences were erected between the properties. However, the cottage garden is right opposite the river, and there are wonderful footpaths only a few paces from the front door, where dogs are safe roaming freely in the wonderful countryside around the village. The Kings Head pub is now open again. Property Owner

"We had a lovely week in Oak cottage."
It has been done up to a very good standard. The kitchen/dining area has everything you need. It was handy having the washing machine after muddy walks. The living room is cosy with a big picture window looking over the beautiful garden and a great log burner, which we used after a very wet walk. We loved the walk-in shower in the bathroom, providing lots of hot water. Both bedrooms have very comfy beds and storage/handing space. The bed in the large back bedroom is huge, and again has a big picture window overlooking the garden. The garden is shared but there is seating you can use. Sadly it was too wet during our stay but I did take our dog for a little wander around on his lead. The village is lovely, with lots of walks available. There are two pubs next to the cottage. At the Racehorses Hotel we took advantage of their take away menu, and both the pizza and Butter Chicken Curry were excellent. We also ate in The Blue Bell Inn and enjoyed the food. Overall we had a lovely stay and would be happy to return.

"Very comfortable with everything you need for a nice break"

"This is a lovely comfortable cottage in a good location."
It is really well equipped and the owner was very helpful. Just a few things that would improve the stay: It was freezing cold when we arrived in the early evening because the heating was set to fixed times. It would be really nice to arrive to a warm cottage and it took a bit of time to establish how the heating worked. Although the information claims the property is dog friendly (which the inside certainly is) the garden is shared between 4 cottages with no divisions. One owner was not dog friendly and dogs don’t recognise invisible boundaries. My dog was very good but a more boisterous one might be stressful. The information on your website claims that electricity and fuel are included in the rent. This is not the case and although a small amount was supplied, the owner charged £10 per bag for logs and £3 for kindling. We bought an enormous amount of logs locally as it was very cold so your information is misleading. All in all this is a lovely holiday cottage and my son and I really enjoyed staying there. The owner has made every effort to be helpful and to provide everything needed for a comfortable stay. There are several pubs very close where the food was very good and plentiful.

Offering two bedrooms and a charming interior, Oak Cottage is a magnificent retreat for couples looking to escape to North Yorkshire and the Yorkshire Dales.
Upon arrival, park up in the off-road parking area, or the nearby car park and take in the countryside backdrop.
Step inside and discover the kitchen, boasting a combination of old and new, with a centre dining table being the spot to enjoy mealtimes.
Carry the conversation into the lounge, where you can curl up in front of the woodburning stove, flick on the TV and unwind for the evening.
To the outside is a beautiful, open garden, offering a spacious lawn along with a set of bistro furniture and sun loungers so you can sit back and relax amongst the shrubbery.
Find comfort in either of the bedrooms, choosing between a super-king-size or double, each with their own wonderful vistas of the Yorkshire.
Head out of the door and explore the chocolate box village of Kettlewell, home to a great selection of reputable pubs, perfect for when you fancy a night off cooking.
Nestled in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales, Oak Cottage is perfectly placed for a walking holiday, whilst cyclists can venture along the undulating hills and winding country lanes that snake through the valley; with secure bike storage on offer, feel at ease that you can enjoy the countryside on two wheels.

About the location
KETTLEWELL
Grassington 7 miles; Skipton 14 miles.
Nestling at the foot of Great Whernside, near the head of Upper Wharfedale, this idyllic village makes the perfect place from which to explore the wonderful scenery and pretty villages of this magnificent Dale. Much of Upper Wharfedale is National Trust owned - an indication of the beauty of its classic countryside, with dry-stone walls and barns, important flower-rich hay meadows and valley side woodland. Undoubtedly, this is one of the best walking and mountain biking areas in the Dales, with The Dales Way passing nearby. The village itself lying on the banks of the River Wharfe is a real delight with traditional built stone cottages, three pubs, a Post Office, speciality shops and a hotel. No surprise that the hit movie Calendar Girls was filmed here and in other locations throughout the area. An excellent base for enjoying the famous Dales, historic market towns, caves and waterfalls of this magical area, along with both Bolton Abbey and Fountains Abbey, Studley Royal, Percival Hall Gardens, and The Himalyan Garden and Sculpture Park.
Note: This property can only accommodate customers over the age of 16.
