• "A truly wonderful place to stay."

  Comfortable, beautifully presented, with everything you could possibly want. Scenic countryside on the doorstep, and plenty of places to visit. We would certainly recommend a holiday here. Great for dogs too.

  All comforts considered and super clean. We would have liked to have stayed longer to appreciate the area.It has a private enclosed back garden and yard for the dog and great to have a great menu in the Plough Inn next door. Definitely recommend a stay.

  Very clean and a good location for exploring the area. Pub right next door. My only negative given the positioning of the cottage is would not recommend if you have very young children. Otherwise a very good cottage.

• "We have just spent a relaxing week at lovely Smithy cottage which was comfortable and inviting."

  Equipped with all the necessary items needed and true to the description and pictures. There is a secure garden area at the rear which was good for our dog when he wanted to wander outside. As others have mentioned, the front drive access is onto a busy B road, but is manageable with a second person standing on guard to direct driving on and off. Sue + Tony

• "Had stayed here last year!"

  It is exactly as described in quiet village with a pub 100 yards down the road. The cottage when arrived at was spotless with a little welcome package for us and the dog. Ideal location for walking or in between some great shopping locations! Cottage has a reasonable sized patio area not overlooked. Fantastic dawn views looking over the valley. BBQ supplied. Nice and cosy inside plenty of crockery and glasses, dishwasher tablets also provided. Quality bedding! The only fault we could find was the cockerel at the plough who gives it large early in the morning

• "We had the best time, couldn’t give any overall negatives!"

  Supplied a small bottle of milk, as well as tea, coffee, sugar and some snacks; thank you:) There was also a small pot of oil, salt and pepper. The fan’s in each bedroom were a life saver during the hot night, not to complain as we were very lucky to not have rain all week. The only thing to add if we’re being picky, we felt it would’ve been a bonus to ensure there are extra bin bags, washing up liquid, kitchen spray and hand soap in each of the bathrooms! And ensure all other essentials are stocked up! But other than that it’s one of the best cottages we have stayed in:) For anyone else staying in this lovely cottage I would just add that we found it easier to reverse onto the drive due to the cottage being situated on a bend/blind corner. Plenty of space for 2 large cars/small van. Would highly recommend!

• "A lovely cottage and we enjoyed our stay very much."

  Beds comfortable and particularly memorable with stars being visible through the skylights. Instructions were all embracing so no real need to contact the owners but re-assuring to know that they were on hand should any queries arise. Dim lighting very useful if wanting to move during the night. The parking was good for 2 cars but care needed to be taken when emerging on the road junction as traffic did tend to go past in all 3 directions at an alarming rate. Overall we rated this as 10 out of 10 and would not hesitate to recommend.

  It is in a beautiful location and has everything you need for a relaxing stay. This is our second visit and the cottage was as clean and welcoming as previosly. Our dogs are made just as welcome with some goodies on the counter for them on arrival. The log burner is so cosy and my missus loves the reqding chair. Bedrooms are very comfy and it is nice to gaze at stars at night. Pleasant back garden and convenient parking. We highly recommend this place if you want a relaxing quiet location.

• "Had a lovely relaxing week's stay at Smithy Cottage in the beautiful village of Wigglesworth."

  The cottage is beautifully presented, spotlessly clean and has everything you need for a home-from-home stay. The bedrooms are spacious, beautifully presented and the log burner adds that extra level of cozyness to the cottage on those cold winter evenings. The gift basket was a lovely added bonus which contained some home-baked goodies. The cottage has a lovely private and secure garden at the rear which was ideal for our dogs and will be a lovely place to relax in the warmer months. There are multiple walks from the cottage doorstep so you can literally park up and never have a need to touch the car again until you leave. Gisburn Forest is a 15 minute drive away and is a lovely open space to explore. Equally, Settle is a 5 mile ride away and has all the amenities you need for your stay, Again, there are lots of lovely walks in and around Settle so there's plenty to do. The Plough pub is next door but 3 to the cottage and is a welcoming sight at the end of a long walk. The cottage owners, Alison and Andrew, kindly invited me up to their dairy farm where I had the pleasure of meeting some of their newborn lambs which was lovely. I would highly recommend a stay at Smithy Cottage, its a real gem.

  Thank you so much for your great review! It was a pleasure meeting you and doggo Nellie for a chat in the sheep shed Property Owner

• "Smithy Cottage exceeded all our expectations."

  It was exactly what we were looking for - a beautiful rural retreat with two dogs, where everything was really well thought-out and we felt totally at home. Attention to detail was fabulous. We really appreciated the welcome pack of scones, tea and coffee and beer, and we received a lovely text message from the owners upon our arrival. The pub is next door and we had a lovely drink and dinner there with our dogs on Sunday night. The pub is currently closed on Mondays and Tuesdays. All the local people are very friendly and we got chatting to people in the pub who gave us tips for fabulous dog walks the next day. We went to the lovely town of Settle and walked at Malham Cove and Gordale Scar on Monday. Absolutely stunning. We absolutely loved our stay at Smithy Cottage. Beautiful lounge, all the kitchen equipment you need, and more, and beautiful immaculately clean beds and bedding. And a super little garden to enjoy with the dogs in the sun, with coffee at breakfast time and a glass of wine in the evening. Just one tiny piece of constructive suggestion to the lovely owners. It would be a good idea to put up a stair gate for guests with dogs. We stopped our dogs from going upstairs by using the two sun chairs in the under-stair cupboard as a stair gate. But it might just be something to think about. Thank you such much for a wonderful stay xx

• "Key ingredients for a good holiday are being able to make a meal after a day out and comfortable bed ."

  The cooker was storage and can take up to 2 hours to heat to temperature. Not ideal for a quick meal either am of pm. A casserole dish was not available to prepare a meal. The duvet seemed to be suitable for a cold winter. No options available. The house smelt stale on arrival No can opener, no whisk , no bowls.

  In response to your negative feedback regarding your recent stay, I can only say sorry that you felt so disappointed. Guests in the property at present can confirm there is everything required including two can openers, plastic bowl, casserole dish, but agree the whisk is unavailable! These little niggles would have been so easily rectified if only you had contacted us, and would have been no problem to sort out. The welcome info and also a welcome text message both display numbers for any problems and make it clear we are happy to do so. Any issues with the stove we have taken on board and are in discussions for a more economical cooker to replace it I would also like to point out that I was originally contacted by Sykes about your request to bring FOUR dogs to the cottage. As a gesture of goodwill (and no extra money)I agreed even though the limit is usually two, but pointed out that the house rules must be observed regarding NO PETS on the soft furnishings. Unfortunately, even though it is clearly stated and under lined in the information pack, it was obvious this rule had been ignored!! Consequently the cleaning of the sofa took far longer than normal. I feel both annoyed and disappointed about this issue, but have learnt a lesson regarding people taking goodwill for granted! I have never had any complaints of stale smells so this is a mystery also. Property Owner

  The surrounding area is stunning with lots of country walking and local towns which had everything we needed. The cottage was comfy and cosy and we felt at home immediately. There was a lovely secure rear coutyard garden which was safe for our two dogs. All in all it provided a great place to unwind.

• "This cottage is a gem, I can't praise Alison and Andrew highly enough."

  From the welcome tray with much appreciated goodies after an arduous journey to the flowers in each room. The beds were so comfortable, I haven't slept so well in ages. With such good weather we made good use of the barbecue eating in the garden most evenings. Also we were made to feel our dogs were welcome guests to, covers for the furniture, a dog bed and bowls under the stairs and an escape proof garden. We would definitely like to stay here again and if we had not already got plans for next year we would be booking ahead now. Thanks again for a great holiday.

  We stayed for 3 nights in late November and the cottage was decorated for Christmas, they had left us a hamper, logs for the wood burner and fresh flowers throughout the cottage.....just thought of everything which made it so special. Great location for walking into Settle, Malham and the local garden centre where we enjoyed a lovely mulled wine. Will definitely be revisiting . Thanks For everything.

  It’s location is idyllic and perfect for exploring the dales. The only disappointment was the very wet weather, but we are already discussing when we could return to explore more of the dales at a better time of year!

  Everything looked brand new and the furnishings were a lovely quality. I can’t recommend this property enough. The owners were really helpful locating matches so we could light the fire and nothing was too much trouble. There was a lovely basket of bits and pieces which meant you didn’t need to worry if you had forgotten anything. The area is wonderful and we spent a day at Gisburn Forest mountain biking and a day at Malham Cove. Our children loved the cottage too and the fact they could watch Netflix was a bonus! We will definitely be back.
