"The little house is perfect to use as a base for walking in this area, and parking outside the property was really beneficial."
The local town is also a short walk away with plenty of eateries/pubs to choose from, also a handy ASDA petrol station with store and a CoOp store. We were aware via previous reviews that the house sits on a main road, so it was a little noisy from 6.30am with lorries passing through. Good to have a full array of kitchen appliances/crockery/glasses etc as we did cook most evenings. Lovely bathroom and shower. Good to have a WiFi code and easy to connect. Some of the tourist leaflets in the front room were out of date, so prices and info were incorrect (might be worth going through them and updating ready for next season?). Lots of storage space in the main bedroom with a comfy bed. Good to have a TV and so many DVDs to watch if we wanted to! We would recommend this property to others.

"Very spacious well appointed cottage."
The owners were very welcoming.
It was a bonus having the craft centre and cafe right behind us. We were there this February so we popped in a few times for coffee and a browse around when the weather was bad. Everything very handy in Settle.
We had to ‘find’ dog walks but well worth it. Gigglesworth fields and river walk a favourite. A good week away.

"I stayed at Watershed Cottage for a short walking holiday."
It has a lovely west facing sitting room with a deep window that benefits from the evening sun and views across the river. There is a practical dining kitchen at the front of the house. The listing mentions the busy road. I didn't find this a problem as the main bedroom and the sitting room are both at the back of the house.
The cottage's situation is perfect with plenty of excellent walking in the immediate area. There are good local bus and rail links from Settle.

"The cottage was lovely, very well equipped and cosy."
We were perfectly situated to walk into Settle and easy driving distance to lots of lovely places. Only little niggle was parking, we were told to park right outside the cottage window but someone else was already parked there when we arrived and the car didn't move for three days. Once in the cottage it did state we could park on the mill behind but we were concerned about security as well as having to carry our shopping. This did not ruin our holiday as the cottage was lovely and we would stay here again.

"This cottage was so lovely and we had a super time, helped by wonderful weather."
Settle is the perfect location. I would say that the photos don't do the cottage justice. We travelled by train in the end and this cottage is perfectly equipped. For those who are packing, it also has: hairdryer, cafetière, tea towels, good sharp knives, paper towel, toilet paper and spare shampoo etc. You just need salt and pepper.
It also now has WIFI which worked very well.
Very close to Settle on foot (cut through makes it even quicker) and can walk back from Langliffe.
Jan and Paul super helpful and kind. Highly recommend!

"The cottage was warm and welcoming the flowers and starter pack was well received after a long Bank holiday journey."
The mill next door was ideal for getting breakfast and of course shopping. The owners had paid great detail to the pictures on the walls being of the area, the cottage was within walking distance to the town. The chip shop was also good with a eat in restaurant,shops open late for last minute groceries. The swimming pool was also a great place to visit.
Settle railway was a great day out travelling to Carlisle, we also visited Kinsey park estate as Skipton which was great for children with a nature trail and small trout fishing area. We also visited the White Scar cave and when on the tour into the caves well worth it.
But the best part of the holiday was returning to a warm and welcoming cottage to rest and plan the next days adventures.
Thanks for a great time

It is light and airy and at the time we stayed the weather was glorious so didn’t really need the heating apart from a little burst of the gas fire when we came back at night. But I would imagine it would be cosy and warm in the cold weather too.

Ideal for a car free holiday, just park up and walk everywhere if you wanted. Comfortable beds, lounge and a nice kitchen/diner. Though situated on a busy main road we didn't find the noise to be disturbing. If I was nit picking I'd say we missed not having wifi, but to be honest it was refreshing to disconnect to. Highly recommended and I'll certainly book again.

It's on a very fast noisy road, with no front or back garden , so stepping out of front door onto narrow parking area. We found the beds very hard and uncomfortable and sky light windows difficult to access and open in the bedrooms. Very nice touches of flowers milk and biscuits on arrival and very clean. The tv remote wasn't working the batteries hadn't been checked for a while and fridge light wasn't working either.
