Ellis House

Absolutely loved our stay at Ellis House, it's a beautiful house with many period features.

Great location just around the corner from a lovely riverside walk. Handy location for Malham, Skipton and many other areas. I'd recommend taking a bag of bird seed to refill the bird feeder as it's so relaxing to sit in the garden and watch them. We refilled it twice as it was so popular! Lovely wildlife to spot along riverside walk, saw kingfishers, a tawny owl and a grey heron. Would definitely recommend.

Ellis House is a lovely property full of character.

Beautiful garden with views in a quiet village. Our host left us some kind touches such as flowers and cake! Beautiful walk alongside the river next door to the house. It is a very old building which does present a few challanges. Provision of a hairdryer would be useful!

This is a tastefully decorated & well equipped character house.

With parking for two cars. The garden has a large terrace with views over the dales to Malham cove. Highly reccomended.

We enjoyed our stay in this lovely house which is presented to a high standard of comfort and equipment.

The only disadvantage was the lack of a downstairs toilet and, although we did know this when we booked, a note in the property details regarding the stairs would have been useful for us in our 80s. The house is in a lovely area particularly convenient for visiting most areas of the Yorkshire Dales. The fact that the wonderful Malham Cove can be seen from the bathroom window must be a unique feature.

This is the most beautiful holiday cottage I’ve ever stayed in - I could have stayed for a month!

Everything you need, wonderful historic features, beautifully furnished, gorgeous garden and views, amazing location, perfect. I can’t recommend this cottage enough! You can walk out of the cottage and on to the Pennine Way and head to Malham or Gargrave, it’s wonderful. The history of the house and the Quaker meeting house opposite is fantastic too. I didn’t manage to spot any otters this time, so that will be my excuse to come back…

A lovely spacious and comfortable cottage that was well equipped and had pleasant garden with open views of fields with sheep.

Brilliant location for walking and touring with plenty of places to visit within reasonable distances. Thoroughly recommend this property. The only negative is no downstairs toilet but would definitely stay again.

I would like to start by thanking our wonderful host, Gill, for her warm hospitality and for always being there to support us whenever needed.

Ellis House is a place full of charm — as old as it is beautiful, yet incredibly welcoming. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you might need, the dining room is spacious and inviting, and the living room quickly became our family’s relaxation spot. With its lovely garden view, cozy fireplace, comfortable sofas, and thoughtfully chosen décor, it created a true sense of peace and well-being. The two bedrooms were warm and comfortable throughout the night, with very interesting décor that added character to the space. The bathroom is modern, spacious, and very well designed. We also truly enjoyed the garden — a perfect place to listen to the birds and admire the peaceful surroundings. Parking is definitely one of the strong points, ensuring your car is safe, and there is even a garage available if needed. Gill was always very communicative and polite, ready to help whenever we had any questions or requests. There are many wonderful things to say about both the area and Ellis House, but the best way to experience them is to discover them for yourself. We felt absolutely great during our stay, and if we have the chance to return to the area, we will definitely choose to stay here again. We warmly recommend Ellis House for its tranquility, beautiful views, and the perfect opportunity to recharge your batteries.

Excellent accommodation in a lovely location.

This is a beautifully decorated cottage in a wonderful location with great views.

We were left some amazing goodies and the cottage itself was just stunning. Unfortunately, we had significant issues with the heating upstairs being unbearably hot, leading to us having to have the windows open in minus temperatures as we were unable to control the temperatures ourselves as this is done remotely by the owner, and the radiators are unable to be turned down or off. The temperature control by the owner also relies on the WIFI working and one evening it was not and the owner was unable to connect to turn it down. Despite being told the temperature and timings had been changed on several occasions, we were still having issues during each night with how hot it was and had to sleep in separate rooms. In contrast, the downstairs was freezing unless you light the fire which then makes upstairs even hotter, leading to us having to make an hour round trip on New Year’s Day to buy a fan heater. Such a shame as the cottage itself is amazing, but really let down by the fact that guests cannot control the temperature of the property that they are staying in themselves.

Ellis House is very houghtfully and beautifully decorated, and was warm and cosy.

The house was very well equipped. Added extras of homemade cake and fresh flowers were a delight to arrive too. It’s in a great location for exploring the Yorkshire Dales.

Ellis House is an absolutely beautiful property, very cosy, warm and welcoming from the moment you step foot through the door.

Ellis House is in a fantastic location with walks, runs and rides starting right from the front door and a great base to explore the surrounding area and local pubs, shops and attractions.
