"Beautiful cottage in a perfect location for places we wanted to visit."
Welcome Hamper was a lovely surprise and the babbling brook to the rear and Halloween touches completed a picture perfect ambiance. Pub across the road (The Sundial) was very welcoming and did lovely food. Would highly recommend

"This cottage was beautiful, everything was of the highest quality and comfort, there was nothing missing."
The garden was an unexpected bonus and we, and the dog, enjoyed visiting it.
Thank you for your feedback. We are glad everything was satisfactory for your stay.Phil. Property Owner

"Gorgeous cottage in a very convenient spot to get to the Lake District, the Yorkshire dales and other beautiful walking trails."
The cottage is well equipped and the basket of eggs, bread, wine and chocolate was very much appreciated. The Sundial pub across the road does great food and beer. We will definitely be back.
Thanks very much for the positive feedback. Property Owner

"Beautiful cottage ideally situated for for the coast, lake district or the dales."
Pub directly opposite. Please be aware that the free car park is for 23 hours, saw some cars with tickets so make sure you move your car for a while each day. The only thing I didn't like and it's only a very minor thing, is the shared pathway to the gardens. It was fine till the last couple of days as nobody else was staying on the other cottages but then someone turned up next door with two enormous dogs and unfortunately thought it was OK not to pick up their mess on the pathway. We only have a miniature dachshund so were confident it wasn't our dog that had done it due to the amount there was, also had to be careful not to let her out if they were there as she would've been cornered if they decided to go for her. Only a minor point but worth knowing. On the whole a lovely place and would highly recommend and we really enjoyed our stay ( apart from the odd huge spider
We are please you enjoyed your stay, unfortunately it is a share path and we have no control over the useage of the path and just rely on our neighbours to respect it. Property Owner

"We were very happy with our stay."
It's a clean and comfortable cottage and as others have said the hamper is a kind and generous touch from the cottage owners - thank you. We also appreciated the walks books for tips on the local area.
-
"We really enjoyed staying at this holiday cottage."
It is a lovely cottage, extremely clean, and very well equipped with everything we needed. It is also conveniently located between the Lake District and Yorkshire Dales enabling us to access both easily.

"It's a lovely cottage, very well maintained and very comfortable."
Plentiful hot water and good heating. Just one tiny point - there were no chairs to sit in the garden which would have been nice as it was really sunny when we were there. Maybe it was too early in the year and they put them out later? We really enjoyed our stay and will probably come and stay there again as it's a great area and the cottage is in a very quiet place which is fab.
Sorry you didn’t find the chairs but they are stored in the shed and the key is on the ring with the house keys. Property Owner

"Fantastic little cottage, perfect for our weekend getaway."

"Lovely cottage."
The owners have literally thought of everything like home from home. The hamper is a kind, thoughtful touch (even something for the dog too!) Felt very welcome.

Everything we needed for a great stay. Only one problem we weren’t there long enough. Highly recommend!

Cosy and warm cottage, comfy bed, quiet. Just lovely and properly dog friendly

"Charming cottage."
Lovely welcome hamper. Cosy and peaceful, in a very picturesque location.
-
"A lovely thoughtfully managed cottage which is immaculately clean."
We particularly liked the downstairs shower room which was useful to put our muddy boots in after a wet walk. Pub across the road is the friendliest we’ve ever visited.
-
"Lovely cosy cottage with the most comfortable bed."
Great location to explore. The Sundial pub across the road food was excellent (only open Thursday to Sunday) High Benton had some further nice pubs only a mile away. Welcome hamper a lovely surprise, great log burner with good supply of logs. Very dark and quiet at night to sleep. Certainly highly recommend this property and great owners.
Thank you for your comments and glad you enjoyed your stay. Property Owner

"This is a lovely cottage, clean, comfy and well equipped."
The hamper and fresh flowers were a lovely touch. The cottage is situation in a convenient location for exploring the Lakes and Yorkshire. Situated over the road is a lovely pub (The Sundial) which does great beer and food and a short walk up the road to High Bentham leads to another good pub that also does good beer and food (The Coach). Great short break and we will be back no doubt.
-
"A delightful cottage complete with babbling brook and secret garden."
It was a lovely touch to have a hamper waiting for us and the cottage was well equipped and welcoming. We found the walks books very helpful. It was a shame the pub across the road was not open at the start of the week. Really enjoyed our stay thanks.
-
"Excellent property."
Easy check in and out. Personal touches such as welcome hamper much appreciated. Well situated and cosy home. Easy parking. I don't think I would be able to suggest any improvements. Locals were super helpful and friendly and the Sundial pub was just a staggering distance away! I am not sure if the original listing mentioned the steep stairs and low beam to access the stairs. That might be tricky for some guests to negotiate. No complaints. Woukd recommend and be happy to visit again.

"Lovely cosy cottage, with easy access to walks and sites of interest."
-
"Lovely cottage well appointed and beautifully quiet"
-
"The cottage was exactly as described."
It was spotlessly clean and very well equipped. The beds were comfy and it was quiet and peaceful. Welcome hamper was a lovely treat. Parking was just around the corner and the local pub was across the street. Would recommend.
-
"The cottage was very clean and well maintained."
The providing of milk and a welcome hamper was extremely thoughtful . Would definitely stay again and recommend to my friends.
-
"Gorgeous cottage, would stay there again, no hesitation."
Very clean and tidy and had everything we needed. Very pleasant and parking in the nearby car park was no problem at all.
-
"A lovely cottage with everything you need for a really comfortable stay for two, four people might struggle though as bathroom upstairs is an en suite, but a lovely downstairs shower room too."
The beds were so firm & comfortable we both slept so well. The cottage is really nicely furnished with 2 very comfortable sofas in the lounge. The photos don't do this lovely cottage justice, it is actually nicer in real life and that's rare! The welcome hamper was such a lovely touch and very generous. Apple TV was nice to have too. The cottage is very close to popular walks and towns, and the local pub (Sundial) is friendly and food good. Nothing to dislike about this place but a few things might be helpful to mention: Great Lavazza coffee pod machine and the coffee is really good, (better than Nespresso!) but we could not find anywhere to buy the pods which was frustrating - might it be an idea to suggest where guests could buy them locally or offer an honesty box where guests could pay to get more pods? There is a detached garden, as stated and it is really pretty. Perhaps more signage to the garden might be useful as, to get to the garden you have to go past a neighbour's garden which is all open with no fencing at all. Luckily she was gardening when we took the dogs out (she hates dogs too) so we had a friendly chat & kept our dogs off her garden. But it is a problem (especially if she's not in her garden) as dogs will naturally walk onto the first bit of garden they see. Sadly the neighbour refuses to put up a fence & is not happy that guests dogs naturally wander into her open garden as there is no fencing. We strongly suggest she puts up some sort of wicker fencing or something with a sign on her low wall to avoid future problems. It didn't detract at all from our stay as we found a lovely walk just opposite the pub to take the dogs for early morning and evening walks. The fluffy hens and ducks in garden opposite are a delight, as are the lovely little children feeding them every morning. Absolutely charming place and highly recommended! We'd love to come back for longer!

"We didn't have time to fill in the visitors book so we'd like to emphasise just how much we enjoyed the stay."
The cottage was ideal in every way including it's location.
Thank you Property Owner

"Brilliant stay, a really lovely cottage with great facilities in an ideal location."
The owners were superb and made sure we had everything we needed in the run up to the holiday and on arrival.
-
"Really, really lovely."
Comfortable, warm, well equipped and very quiet. Would recommend wholeheartedly. Thanks for the welcome pack, a pleasant surprise. We couldn't vacuum the cottage thoroughly because the dyson ran out of charge in about 10 mins
Thank you for your comments, much appreciated. Property Owner

"A delightful cottage."
Cosy, quaint and tastefully modernised but full of original features. Loved the decor too. Facility- wise it had everything inside that you needed and more. If you are tall be prepared to duck through two of the doorways! If you have a crazy dog with you- be warned it could jump straight into the shallow brook behind the back door, and there are ducks in there. Low Bentham has lovely walks on the doorstep, but also a very good central place for reaching the dales, the lakes and even Blackpool. Would recommend.
Thanks for the feedback it is much appreciated . Property Owner

"Spotlessly clean and comfortable cottage in an ideal location for exploring the many varied days out available locally."
The owners had thought of everything that you may need to help your stay be a positive one including a lovely welcome hamper. Great to have Wi-Fi and a safe free car park only a couple of minutes walk from the cottage.
Thanks for your lovely feedback it means a lot to us that you enjoyed your stay. Property Owner

"We could not find fault with the cottage if we tried."
We thought it was perfect and met with all our needs. We could not ask for more and had a very enjoyable holiday. I thought the bed was really comfortable which was a really important factor for me ,plus it was nice and warm. The welcome basket of food was also very nice. Regards Ray and Ann Midgley

"This was a wonderful cottage to unwind and relax in."
From the moment we stepped foot into the cottage it felt like home. Perfectly located for exploring the Yorkshire Dales. We will definitely be back!
-
"Lovely little cottage which was warm, very clean and with all the facilities you need."
The hosts’ welcome pack was great and indeed the hosts were excellent throughout with a welcome text and answering a question at the end of the stay. The kitchen is small but we’ll equipped. With the weather during our stay we couldn’t enjoy the garden but a good bonus in the Spring/Summer. Parking is a short walk away and convenient.
-
"Great cosy property with all the facilities you need ."
Great location and great information left by the owners to ensure we had a great stay. Will be back in the future
-
"What a lovely, cosy, well set up cottage."
Luxury in all aspects, from comfy beds, super kitchen facilities and thoughtful touches such as flowers and a welcome hamper. The owners even left a bag of treats for our dog, Peanut, who was very appreciative. Everything worked well - meaning we could focus on enjoying our time in this beautiful part of the country. Thanks to you both for making our stay so relaxing.
-
"Had the most wonderful, chilled and comfortable stay."
The cottage is fantastic. Everything you could poss need is supplied. With a wood burner to keep you warm and pub across the road it’s just perfect. Plus the wildlife and the stream that’s out the back of the property just makes it so cosy. Just loved it x

"The property is well maintained and equipped."
The location is great for getting to multiple areas for great walking and family fun. Our dog also enjoyed sitting outside the back door of an evening watching the ducks across the stream and the garden was a lovely addition. A lovely break; very relaxing, just what we needed.

We've stayed in the Dales for many years but this was our first visit to Low Bentham. We loved our few days in this fantastic cottage, great facilities .. and our little dog loved it it too!!

We already loved the area but now we know a perfect place to stay too. And the welcome hamper was a lovely surprise
-
"An unusual and cosy cottage."
A small babbling brook outside the backdoor, a lovely garden a little remote from the cottage. Really enjoyable. Lots of walking, and a horse ride. Lovely villages, welcoming pubs and very good food. Thoroughly enjoyed it.
-
"Seeing the lovely countryside"
-
"The cottage was more comfortable than the photos suggested and we appreciated the lovely welcome hamper, fresh flowers and that fire was laid ready to light and the log basket was full."
Two things we could have done with were some serving spoons and more generous towels. Although the cottage is small it is a very pleasant place to stay.
-
"The cottage was lovely, comfortable and clean and the owners were very kind and considerate."
-
"Lovely cosy cottage - which was very clean and well looked after!"
Welcome gift hamper and flowers was a lovely touch. There is a garden detached from the property (at the back of the next cottage along) accessible by a backdoor from the dining room. V.dog friendly pub over the road. Would definitely be back.
-
"A really lovely little cottage in a beautiful part of the world."
The cottage is very well equipped and the provisions available and welcome pack cover all the bases - the bottle of wine and dog treats were particularly appreciated! There is a nice little pub across the road and the village is in striking distance of the Lakes, Yorkshire Dales and Forest of Bowland. We loved it here, a perfect getaway.
-
"Cottage is absolutely gorgeous."
Beds were soooo comfortable and the cottage had lots of little home comforts....definitely a 10 out of 10 and we will be going back
-
"Beautiful cottage, very well fitted with excellent facilities."
We felt very at home and comfortable there. Lovely touch with a hamper of goodies to see you through the night and morning. Sky TV on demand with sport and movies. Overall a lovely presented cottage with nothing left out and more than expected by a country mile.
-
"The cottage was really lovely and comfortable with everything you need for a relaxing break."
Added bonus were flowers, hamper and milk all very welcome after a long drive. Area is lovely for going on walks. Also close enough to visit seaside.

"Parking of car could have been better and situation mabye not the best for some ..."
Parking of car could have been better and situation mabye not the best for some people , but the cottage was very well set out , very clean and quiet
-
"Four of us stayed here to complete the Yorkshire Three Peaks."
The cottage was even better than described and we were left with a gorgeous hamper of goodies including a bottle of wine to enjoy on arrival. Everything was perfect and we had a lovely weekend away - could not recommend further!
-
"This is a nice comfortable cottage with good facilities."
It's only problem is the parking. If you have kids or a dog or both then loading and unloading and having to park away from the cottage is a pain. The neighbours are not at all helpful is this matter as well. The parking is explained in the listing but the free car park does get full and then the parking becomes a problem.

Step inside and into the homely sitting room with its warming woodburning stove, an ideal place to put your feet up after a day exploring the area, or maybe after a day's walking.

The market town of High Bentham less than a mile away has further amenities and the three peaks of Ingleborough, Whernside and Pen-y-Ghent provide amble walking opportunities.
