• "A beautifully spacious, yet cosy, super comfortable & inviting home, with everything you could have wanted carefully considered and catered for."

  From the welcome message, generous gifts, to the visitor information, restaurant & coffee shop recommendations, to all of the cookware, pans etc. one might desire to cook a nice meal in. It was an idyllic break, and just what my family needed.

  Loved the nearby waterfalls and the knights table pub. Would definitely return

  Dear Colin, thank you for your lovely words, we love the two waterfall walks too. The pub next door has now been fully refurbished, re-opened and is fabulous as well as the Knight's Table. With best wishes Lianne Property Owner

• "We loved our week at this property."

  On arrival we were greeted by a lovely cake and welcome pack from the owner which was a lovely touch after our drive. The kitchen was bright and fresh and had everything you could possibly need only slight suggestion is to maybe look at some new frying pans as the ones there are starting to lose their non-stick. The coffee machine wasn't listed on the description which was a lovely bonus on arrival so we could have a lovely coffee. The sitting room again was lovely and bright and had enough seating for everyone. The owner provided lots of blankets for sitting outside and materials for starting a fire in the wood burner. the bedrooms had so much space in them and were also so very comfy so it was lovely to go to bed after a long day exploring. The hot tub was beautiful and again perfect for a couple of hours in the afternoon when we stayed in rather than explore. I love how secure the garden was for the two dogs this truly is a pet friendly property. Only a couple of things were the communications on arrival information/times were varying across different messages via Sykes, owner and advert even after confirming with Sykes the check-in time. Also the adverts doesn't state there are steps throughout the property on each level apart from the main stairs. For us it wasn't a problem but with a family member becoming less mobile a little notes about this might be worth considering. We look forward to visiting again.

  Thank you Arlene, It was a pleasure to have you stay. That you for alerting us to the arrival information, we will ensure it is consistent throughout. With best wishes Lianne Property Owner

• "Just a bit chilly on the heating setting, we had to work out how to manually up the heat a little."

  We did use the log burner but it is quite expensive to fuel with logs.

  Dear Sharon, Im sorry you found it chilly, the Neostat can be fully controlled by the up/down buttons and the heating is usually pretty responsive (instructions in the guest manual). I hope everything else was ok for you and thank you again for staying wit us. With best wishes Lianne Property Owner

• "Bridge End Cottage is a stunning little cottage in the heart of Stainforth."

  The cottage was lovely and clean and the welcome pack, cake, bubbly and flowers were a really nice surprise. Thank you. When booking I was worried that the hot tub would be overlooked by those walking over the bridge, but the garden is designed so well. It's split in two, one small area that leads to the stream where you can sit and enjoy the fire pit, the main garden is a tranquil spot to sit back and relax. All the bedrooms had super comfy beds. All facilities in the cottage were well thought of, there was everything we needed plus more. Stainforth is a gorgeous little village perfectly situated to explore Yorkshire. If you like walking you could easily leave your car at the cottage and explore locally for the week. If you like a bit of industrial history, visit the Craven Lime Kilns, a short walk away and quite undiscovered.

• "Fantastic Cottage, amazing location ."

  ................. everything you need. Great for dog owners as walking on your doorstep, pub stones throw away ... every member of the family enjoyed it, the children loved having a paddle in the river (which is very low) at the end of the garden, the garden is secured in two parts one with access to the river and one with access to a lovely patio area (little sun trap) and hot tub so not worrying about the children or dogs having access to the river..........

• "The cottage is lovely."

  Stainforth is a sweet little village with lots of walks and many attractions within walking distance. We loved the log burning stove and the sofas were well placed for a cosy night in. Our welcome pack included everything we needed with the bonus of a bottle of Prosecco. Unfortunately we were not able to take advantage of the hot tub due to inclement weather. Would definitely recommend. Prob not suitable for anyone in a wheelchair as there are several steps with different floor levels.

  What a lovely surprise to have fresh flowers, a chilled bottle of Prosecco and a few other little essentials waiting for us. Furnished to a high standard, the bedrooms particularly comfortable and so nicely done, but the loveliest part for me was the path down to the river with fairy lights and seating area.....magical. Would highly recommend and hope to visit again. Lovely walks to both local waterfalls which made the weekend.

• "The cottage was absolutely perfect!"

  All the characterful quirks and beauty just blew us away as soon as we walked in! It fitted around the family perfectly with a downstairs double bedroom and downstairs shower room and toilet which allowed my grandparents a convenient and stress free stay! The location was lovely with the outside stream running through and the nearby walks! A short car ride into settle meant we could pop in the market town and have a wonder yet we were secluded enough to enjoy the surrounding walks and waterfalls! Also had lovely pubs nearby just all round a fantastic holiday!

• "The cottage was lovely, clean and well presented."

  There was nice touches of little gifts when we arrived. Would highly recommend it. Only feedback is that it could maybe advertise that hot tub only in use between 12pm and 9pm, we fancied a dip in the morning and it was cold! Other than that a highly recommended trip. We will revisit.

  Thank you so much for your feedback, we're glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay at Bridge End Cottage. The hot tub can be used from 9.00am-9.00pm, during these times it will be at the correct temperature. On this occasion it seems as though the settings may have been altered, meaning the water was not quite warm enough. We hope to welcome you back again. Property Owner

• "Brilliant stay."

  Gorgeous cottage, stunning decor, comfy beds and so cosy, especially with the log burner. Great location in the centre of a quaint village, with fabulous, friendly local pub just next door across the river. Lots of great walks from the door. Idyllic small river/large stream was ideal for little ones to splash about in their wellies. Whilst the lovely hot tub was ideal for the grown ups, especially with a glass of fizz, under the stars next to the babbling stream! Couldn’t recommend enough, we will be back.

  The cottage was comfortable and homely with special touches awaiting our arrival. We had a no TV week (by choice) and enjoyed playing games and doing jigsaws (provided in the cottage) in the evenings. The hot tub was wonderfully relaxing and very popular with all of us. We are a three generation family and there was something for everybody. Highly recommended.

• "It is worth mentioning that the local team of "housekeepers" (for want of a better word) were a delight and could not have taken more trouble in setting things up for our arrival, visiting halfway through our two-week stay, and regularly checking the spa."

  It makes all the difference! Stainforth is a quiet village and a very friendly community and it suited us perfectly - if visitors are looking for a property in which to party hard and noisily, then this one in this village is probably not for you! We found as guests in the village that we were welcomed - arriving as strangers yet treated like friends. A most relaxing and enjoyable fortnight staying in a lovely cottage. Thank You!

• "In terms of your tick rating we were quite disappointed with this property."

  We have self catered a lot so have several places to compare it with. The beds were comfy though comfort in super king suffered because of ‘twin’ join. In a general sense the cottage was clean - bathroom, toilets etc and the heating system worked well so warm and cosy. However here is a list of some of the main things we feel let us down Limited kitchen equipment eg no sieve to drain rice, initially no cafetière, no pyrex basins, measuring jug, scales etc. Filthy grill and oven. Guest book comments would suggest this has been the case for sometime! Impossible access to fridge/freezer, grill and oven once people are seated at the table Kitchen table and seating only really caters for six people General impression of kitchen was that it needed revamping and reorganising Extractor fan in downstairs loo blew out dirty fluff Loo brushes and holders needed renewing Upstairs shower screen leaked badly over floor Inadequate storage for clothing. Ridiculous coathangers. Looked as though they were a job lot from Mothercare . Could not hang adult trousers on them. Television wouldn’t work because the aerial socket was broken Generally we felt the cottage looked ‘tired’ and worn and needed a redo especially as we stayed at the beginning of the season the standard was not good. We felt it was ok if you wanted to drink wine (overflowing with wine glasses!), use the hot tub and eat at the pub, not if you were serious about ‘self catering’. By the way, the hot tub was great.

• "Cottage was beautiful with great facilities and really comfortable and interior was of a high standard."

  Th only slightly negative comment is the wood fired hot tub wasn’t warm enough until late Saturday and took 3 bags of logs to heat and maintain. Once it was going it was a lovely place to relax. Great walks from the door and area had so much to offer. Well worth a visit and ideal cottage and location for a family catch up.

  Weather was horrible and so we definitely made the most of the accommodation! Beds were very comfortable and the living space was perfect for socialising. Paul and Lianne were wonderful hosts and looked after us well. Only slight issue was that we struggled to get the hot tub to a suitable temperature (too cold and then too hot), but this certainly didn’t spoil our weekend. The cottage is also in an excellent location for exploring the local area. We would definitely stay here again!

• "Re booking on phone."

  All very polite and easy. However I rang to ask about maps and local info, which your email says are available via your App- and the person I spoke to had no idea what I was talking about and said I could Google the info. I know I can Google but it did say I could get the info from you. Then the person said I was going to a lovely property (which was indeed the case!) and that this property did not require a Good Housekeeping Bond (which was incorrect as it did).

  Lianne's beautiful cottage however did just that. I had a brilliant night with my husband to be prior to our wedding, a night with my closest friends, brother and mother the night before the big day and then my friends had an amazing place to relax the night of the wedding. Lianne really was an absolute joy to deal with and made it so easy for us, even taking some things left behind to the hotel to collect upon my return from honeymoon. The cottage is a home from home, everything done to a very high standard, impeccable clean with so much attention to detail. It's next to a lovely pub literally next to and the wood fried hot tub was such a barrel (excuse the pun) of laughs!

  Great location, very comfortable and very well equipped. 10/10! The only two tiny nice to have’s that I’d suggest would be some sort of lighting around the hot tub, even something as subtle as battery operated fairy lights, as it’s very at the bottom of the garden....and faster internet speed, but again, just a suggestion, not a criticism. Other than those two very small points, this cottage is superb and is a credit to the owner.
