"West View cottage was fabulous!"
Extremely comfy beds, great selection of cooking utensils, very convenient for walks from the door and into town, great to have a utility/boot room. Easy to find - good instructions for getting into the property.
Thanks for the review and we are glad you enjoyed your stay. It is a beautiful part of the world. Property Owner

"We had such a lovely stay!"
A beautiful house! Thanks

"West View Cottage is a lovely cottage on a quiet street in Settle."
The cottage is very comfortable and well equipped. We were a party of 5 adults and the cottage felt spacious. We had a couple of queries about the heating while we were there and the owner contacted us immediately to address our issues. I'd definitely recommend West View, it's a beautiful cottage in a quiet area of Settle, which is also very convenient for the train station and shops.

"This property is lovely."
It's so spacious, the photos don't do it justice. From outside it looks tiny ,but it is like a TARDIS when you get inside!. Immaculately clean. Lovely touches everywhere. It is situated right in the town centre, so the cars were parked up and we didn't need to use them at all during our stay. Only comments are , a few more waste bins dotted about, and mirrors in the two twin rooms would be handy. These are really only a minor point. We were 8 girls and we had a great time.

"Another excellent weekend in this wonderful cottage."
Clean, tidy and very comfortable. Great for a family of friends get together.

"We were very happy with the property and its location."
In cold and frosty early winter (beautiful!) weather, the house was warm and cosy. It is well equipped and very comfortable, beautifully decorated. We loved being within close walking distance to the centre of Settle and so close to the beauty of the Dales. In fact we didn’t travel far to access stunning walks or bike rides. We found the mortice lock on the front door a little tricky and mainly used the back door. A more precise address would be helpful in the listing/confirmation ie including the street name not just the name of the terrace (although the street name was in the more detailed directions it would have helped to have it included in the property address)

"Really great cottage with plenty of space and central to Settle."
Parking was no issue, always a space in front of house. Pre arrival call with owner was great, really helpful with details of stay and very accommodating. I could not fault the accommodation or Settle itself. Very happy
-
"This is a super property, ideal for a family party of eight."
We really appreciated the kitchen and dining area - we’ve had places in the past where they don’t really allow room for everyone. All the rooms and facilities were immaculate. The location is ideal being a short walk from the town - which is full of interest. It is easy to access walks from the house - even allowing for inclement weather as there is plenty of drying space in the property!
Thanks for the great feedback and lovely to hear you enjoyed the stay. Property Owner

"Great place to stay."
Wonderful view from rear of cottage. Lovely walks, pubs and places to eat. Station really handy for rail trips. Excellent facilities in cottage. A proper handrail on the steep stairs and perhaps a chair in the bunk room would help. Otherwise brilliant.

"Very comfortable & clean."
Excellent showers, brilliant bath-with-a-view, ample hot water. Very useful to have a dryer as well as a washer. All the rooms (except for the twin bedroom) are bigger than they look in the photos. A very good selection of games/dvds provided - we spent a lot of time around the kitchen table playing 'Don't Panic'. Had a minor issue (DVD player not working) which was sorted immediately by the owner. No problems with on street parking.100% would return.
Thanks for the feedback and glad you had a good time. We love "Don't Panic" too. Property Owner

"The house was lovely but we missed having some outside seating."
Other houses nearby had benches front and back which would have been good.
Thanks for the rating. We will look at what we can do about the outdoor seating. Property Owner

"West View Cottage is an excellent place to stay in , so clean and spacious ."
The beds are comfortable and the kitchen is well equipped . The cottage is in a great position, close to the shops cafes and pubs of Settle , but far enough that parking on the street outside the house is not a problem. With a marvellous view , lovely decor and all the facilities you could possibly need for a holiday I don’t hesitate to recommend

"Second time we have stayed at West View."
We have family in Settle and are regular visitors. West View is home from home - really tastefully and comfortably done with great views out the back. Its very spacious too.
Lovely feedback, thank you. Property Owner
-
"Lovely cottage within an easy walk to amenities in Settle."
Warm and comfortable for our January stay. Big boot room/ washroom for coats and boots. Ideal for 2 couples as bedrooms and a bathrooms on both of the upper floors. Everything we needed and spotlessly clean. I would definitely recommend staying here.
Thanks for the review and I am glad you like the cottage and had a good break. Property Owner

"What a beautiful house, so much space for all 7 of us."
Very clean, very comfortable esp the beds! Fully equipped with everything we needed esp for cooking meals most days. Settle is a beautiful town with a good variety of shops. The local walks and scenery are just stunning, waterfalls, caves and a beautiful river all within 2 or 3 miles. Plus a beautiful train ride to see the viaduct at Ribblehead We are thinking of staying here again next year as we barely scratched the surface of things to do!

"A fantastic weekend enjoying a family get together."
The cottage was wonderful, exceeding all expectations. Clean, warm and well equipped, a beautiful cottage in the beautiful village of Settle. Extremely comfortable beds, spacious bathrooms, crisp linen made for a very relaxing weekend. Thankyou
-
"Had a great family holiday staying in West View Cottage."
It was very comfortable for the 6 of us — clean and well equipped. We really appreciated the amazing bathrooms and large Utility Room which was ideal for drying off clothes after some of our rather wet walks ! Also handy for popping into Settle with its shops and great places for tea and coffee. A great base for visiting the Dales.
-
"Enjoyable stay in this property in Settle."
Easy walking distance into the centre, lots of shops/cafes/eating places. Highly recommend The Golden Lion for an evening meal (make sure you book in advance) Short walk to the Settle railway station too and we had a wonderful ride from Settle to Carlisle - beautiful scenery! May we make a couple of suggestions? The front double bedroom would benefit from a mirror and a wall chart or reminder could be displayed in the utility room to show when bins need putting out for emptying. When we where there both exterior bins were full.
-
"Excellent in most aspects but one important issue for us and we noticed others have mentioned the same issue ."
There is no handrail on the stairs. This is dangerous for the young , the old and those with mobility difficulties . Also could do with litter bins in bedrooms . Other than these things I would have no hesitation in recommending this beautiful cottage to others .
Glad you enjoyed the house. Appreciate the suggestion about the handrail and we are getting one fitted in the next few weeks. Property Owner

"A lovely spacious cottage in a fantastic location."
Beautifully clean and well equiped, and convenient for Settle, the surrounding countryside and the scenic Settle to Carlisle railway, we had a very enjoyable holiday.
-
"This cottage comfortably accommodated 6 adults."
It was warm, clean and very well equipped for a staycation where we were doing our own cooking. The centre of Settle was a 5 minute walk away which was ideal. Places such as Malham Cove and the 3 Peaks were all easily accessible (by car). We had a wonderful time and would highly recommend it. The owner replied to questions quickly and was extremely helpful.
-
"What a stunning house."
It was so lovely to walk into and the cleanliness was second to none. It was immaculate! There were hand gels, soaps, toilet roll and the amount of utensils, pans etc in the kitchen were fantastic. We went with 7 ladies and all if us lovely as it. The beds were very comfortable, the quilts and pillows were 5 star hotel quality and we when all went into the bathrooms we were all blown away. Stunning.! We will definitely go back. Only 5 mins walk away from Settle centre too

"Very Clean, good location, good facilities"

"We had an excellent stay in this really lovely, spacious cottage."
Plenty of room for 4 adults and 2 teenagers. Two large bathrooms both with excellent showers and a well equipped kitchen. Located on a really quiet street, we had no problem parking 2 cars, just a 5 minutes walk from the centre of Settle which has everything you need. Co-op, Bakery & Cafe, Pizza takeaway, Fish & Chips, Pubs etc. There is also a lovely Riverside walk. It's perfectly located for easy access to Malham, Clapham, Austwick, Ingleton and the Ribblehead viaduct. Nothing was more than a 25 minute drive away. All in all an excellent week in an excellent location where we felt very much at home.
-
"The cottage was excellent-extremely well equipped and comfortable."
Plenty of space for 8 people and located right in the heart of Settle. Well placed for all amenities-5 min walk to the pub is always a winner! The cottage itself was nicely furnished-modern but with character. A pleasure to stay in and even a Christmas tree up to help us feel festive! Great service from the owner who was friendly and helpful when we had a minor issue working the heating (all our own fault). Would definitely recommend and happily return to.

"The cottage more than met our expectations; it’s beautifully presented and very comfortable, and ideally situated, with less than a minute’s walk into Settle."

"This property was fantastic."
It was decorated to an extremely high specification and had everything that you could possibly need. It was modern but cozy and easily accommodated the six of us (eight people would be no problem too). Plenty of bathrooms and the large freestanding bath was great after a day walking! The location was great, and the house is extremely central. Settle train station was only a 5 minute walk away so perfect if you are planning to walk any of the Yorkshire Peaks. The village has a good range of shops, a tourist information and plenty of cafes and pubs. We would definitely return to this property if coming back to the area. Thanks for a great stay.

About the location
SETTLE
Malham 6 miles; Skipton 17 miles; Kendal 25 miles.
The bustling market town of Settle lies at the south west rim of the Yorkshire Dales National Park, nestled beside the largest outcrop of limestone in Britain - a region of scars, cliffs, caves and potholes - amongst some of the most picturesque scenery in North Yorkshire. Tuesday is market day in Settle, when the square is filled with stalls offering a wide variety of crafts and goods. The market place is surrounded by local businesses, the centre being dominated by The Shambles, an historic three storey building with shops on two levels and houses above, and the Town Hall. There is a good selection of restaurants and pubs and a public swimming pool. The Victoria Hall has entertainment and other activities such as folk nights throughout the year. The famous Settle-Carlisle Railway crosses some of the most beautiful and inspiring upland scenery in the country. Natural attractions such as Malham Cove and Gordale Scar are within easy reach, as are the nearby Dales towns of Skipton and Malham. Settle is in the midst of excellent walking country and is a good base for touring the Dales, the Lake District and the Forest of Bowland.
