  • "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

    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.

  • "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

  • "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

    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.

    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.

  • "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!

    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.

The property

This superb 17th century terraced cottage is situated in the lovely village of Low Bentham, set on the edge of the Forest of Bowland Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and close to the Yorkshire Dales National Park.

Ideal for a couple or small family, this wonderful base has exposed beams in the sitting room, as well as on the first floor and has been furnished to a high standard.

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.

Next to the sitting room is a shower room and also on the ground floor is the well-equipped kitchen, off which is a dining area.

Up on the first floor are two bedrooms, both with large beds - one has a zip/link super king-size double and the other a king-size double with the latter also benefiting from a convenient en-suite bathroom.

On a sunny evening you can listen to the babbling brook, whilst enjoying a good book and a drink and 50 yards away is the garden with furniture.

Parking is situated in a free public car park 100 yards away, and the village of Low Bentham has a couple of pubs and shops.

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.

With plenty more to see and do nearby makes 8 Stonegate the perfect Yorkshire base.
