• "We enjoyed our stay in this very well equipped and comfortable cottage."

  The generous welcome pack from Jacquie was very much appreciated by us and the dog! The cottage is ideally located to explore the area. We visited Skipton, Settle, Malham Tarn, Windermere and Kendal. Riddlesden Hall is not too far away and well worth the visit. Although we did not use it, there is a railway station within a short walking distance from the property for quick access to Leeds and Carlisle. We did find the parking spot a bit tricky at times. There is a little Post Office and general store in walking distance from the property. A bit further afield, we would recommend Lords Antiques and The Courtyard Dairy (great cheese, bakery and wine shop) .

• "Cottage is amazing we loved it absolutely everything has been thought of the welcome pack was lovely and incredibly generous."

  Our only comment would be the road outside is very busy and noisy with huge lorries rumbling by vibrating the cottage we were a shock for such a sleepy little village. Also we had no phone signal or Wi-Fi, the owner did offer to come over but we decided there wasn't much point for us to bother her as there was nothing that could be done about it. That aside I really cannot fault the cottage or the owner, these things are out of her control and merely an observation on our part.

• "A lovely cottage with everything you need,a great welcome pack and lots of treats for the dog."

  Set in a great location for doing lots of walking. The only disappointment was the log burner not working as we were told the chimney was wet. We had a lovely time there and would recommend as a cosy cottage.

  Beautifully clean and tidy. Welcome basket was greatly appreciated and there was even milk in the fridge for us. Our dog had a jar of treats as well! The welcome pack was comprehensive with all that we needed to know. Everything you could possibly have needed had been provided. So much attention to detail was given to making our stay exceptionally comfortable. Just a wonderful base from which to explore. Thank you Jacquie!

  Parking also at back but tight - like most car parks, since cars have got larger. Everything, and more, than we needed was catered for. Welcome pack for humans and furry guests. Very comfortable bed - very important, and a very lovely host.

• "The cottage is easily located and well situated for exploration of the local area or going further afield."

  The cottage itself is lovely, very comfortable and well looked after. The enclosed gardens (front and back) were a real bonus for our little dog, even though the weather wasn't the best. The facilities provided were all functional, clean and well looked after, the only improvement I would suggest is for a 'shaving' mirror to be placed over the sink in the bathroom. The other thing I think is worth highlighting is car parking .. there is a parking space, but it is very tight getting in and out .. anything such as a 4X4 or SUV or similar simply would not fit.

  Jacquie is such a lovely and generous host and on hand if needed. Being Winter we enjoyed the log burner every night for which we had plenty of logs. The A65 which runs through Long Preston is busy but on the plus side it makes driving to Skipton or Settle very convenient. Having the train station down the road also makes it handy if you fancy the famous Settle - Carlisle route.

• "Good location and very convenient for pub/shop/station, it was also generally very comfortable and cosy."

  Kitchen was extremely well equipped. Very welcome touches were the bottle of wine, bread, milk and eggs. There could have been a bit more kindling/matches for the fire and the toilet seat was a bit loose/wonky, light outside porch was dim and gate onto road was broken but these were only minor issues. Overall a great/memorable stay.

  Ideally situated between Skipton and Settle so a great base. The welcome pack was greatly appreciated. The owners were extremely helpful and accommodating throughout the booking to ensure we had everything we would need. The only slight issue we had was trying to get in and out of the second car as there wasn’t much space at all. Top tip - reverse the second car in, it made it so much easier.

Good location and not far from Skipton, Malham Cove, Ingleton Falls etc. There is only one small shop and pub in the village, but there is a slightly larger village with more amenities within a 5 minute drive. The station is a 3 minute walk away and I went to Skipton on the train while my family walked Malham Cove. I would stay here again.

• "Property was as described."

  Kitchen was well equipped with everything working and in good order. Lounge was comfortable and the tv had Freeview which is always useful to have. The bed in the main bedroom was super comfortable and there was plenty of space for clothes storage. Shower in the bathroom was easy to operate and nice and hot. We have 2 dogs, so it was good that the back garden area was fenced off (though bigger dogs might be able to leap over it). There are 2 parking spaces and once we arrived we didn’t use the car until we went home, as the rail station is about 3 minutes walk away, and there are buses in the village centre about a 4 minute walk away. The owner left us a small basket which included wine, bread, milk, cake, shortbread and treats for the dogs ! We would definitely stay there again.

  We had a little problem with trying to lock one of the doors while we were there but on contacting owners they were straight round to fix the problem which we were most grateful for. Walks from the house were great. All once through the village on very quiet lanes and tracks and the routes we used were very well described. Some styles were a little difficult if you had a six stone dog like ours getting on in years. Cycling perfect from house over to Settle via Wiggleswade and on to Austwick and Clapham great on quiet roads and back; 30 miles perfect. A really good base. Would use it again.

  Croft Cottage was wonderfully well equipped with everything you could need. It had a real ‘home from home’ feel about it and the dogs clearly felt at home. Nice welcome packs too and tea, coffee, sugar canisters filled. Also toilet rolls, kitchen roll, cleaning products all there. Beds were extremely comfortable, everything worked as it should with lots of nice little touches in the house. Well situated for the 3 Peaks which we did over 3 days with the dogs - was the hottest week of the year! Malham Cove also worth a visit. Loved the market town of Settle and driving through the Dales. Long Preston itself was a nice little village - 2 pubs which let dogs in - in fact nearly all the pubs around that area are dog-friendly. People very nice too. A fantastic little cottage - an all round fab holiday. Just one thing to bear in mind the A65 which runs through the village can be very busy and the traffic noise was noticeable but probably just because we aren’t used to it.

  For future reference for anyone going to stay, the human one contained bread, milk (four pints), one mini bottle each of white, rose and red wine, cakes, biscuits, ground coffee and eggs! The tea, coffee and sugar canisters were all filled up too. The canine one contained two bowls, poo bags, towel and a full jar of biscuits! Never stayed anywhere that was so generous! Was a nice warm cottage with wood burner too of which there was coal and wood to use. Good walks from the cottage which was great so at least Zak had a good one first thing so whatever we did for the rest of the day we knew he was ok should another not be forthcoming, this was only the case on one day. You need to be on the lookout for sheep though, the stone walls made good barriers but every now and then sheep would appear where they hadn't been the day before and you would realise there were no walls or water in between. Two good pubs minutes away, we ate in both, Maypole and Boars Head which we ate in twice, good food, generous portions. Plenty to do in the area, Ingleton Falls and Bolton Abbey we particularly enjoyed, Zak has never been so well walked! All in all a thoroughly enjoyable holiday and Storm Gareth did not interfere too much! Days planned around the weather and we found plenty to do. Would recommend this cottage and the area.

• "A fabulous little cottage, felt at home straight away, clean, comfy, best equipped rental I have stayed in."

  Jacquie and Paul do a fantastic job, arrival hampers were a lovely touch for us and for our doggies and they had even put up a Christmas tree for our stay. Great range of tourist and walking guides supplied and a fully comprehensive guide to all things in the cottage. Will definately be back for a 2nd visit and I dare say more beyond that.

• "Croft Cottage was better than I expected."

  It was like home from home. The owner Jacquie met us on arrival and showed us around. There were 2 hampers upon arrival. One for us containing essentials and one for our dog with treats and things. This I thought was very thoughtful. This is our second time we have used Sykes and would not hesitate to use again and have already recommended to family and friends.

• "A fantastic cottage in a great location for exploring the southern dales."

  We were met with a warm welcome from the owner together with two generous welcome packs, one for us and one for our dogs. Cottage well equipped throughout and spotlessly clean and warm with a log burner in the lounge. Great location for exploring the dales. Two dog friendly pubs serving quality food within a few minutes walk from the cottage. We have already rebooked another stay in this cottage next year.

• "The booking process was straightforward."

  I had previously spoken to customer service, and the agents were very helpful. The vendor of the cottage called me in advance to go through some details, and she prepared a thoughtful welcome hamper - even adding special items for my pet cat to enjoy her stay too! Really happy with the holiday, and would recommend both the site and the cottage.

  Long Preston is a lovely Yorkshire village, with train access if you don't want to use the car. Two good pubs, The Boars Head in particular was very welcoming to us and our dog, and the food was excellent.

• "A lovely well equipped and well located cottage."

  Perfect for a relaxing walking holiday in the dales. Owners have provided lots of information on walks in the area and also most vitally a couple of thermos flasks! Cottage close to rail and bus links to Settle and Skipton (again timetables thoughtfully provided in cottage) and we managed well with no car for the week. Two lovely pubs nearby for after walk refreshments and evening meals that use local ingredients.
