"Our stay at Orcaber Farm Retreat was perfect."
The property was peaceful, spotless & wonderfully warm. It was a real treat to stay in a property with luxurious bedding & top quality appliances. We found it the perfect base from which to explore on our mountain bikes & are already planning our next stay.
Wow, what a lovely review!. Thank you so much for your very positive words and we look forward to seeing you again in the future. Best wishes Neil and Gaynor. Property Owner

"Had a lovely time at the cottage."
It was very well kept and the location was fantastic for star gazing. Owners were very friendly. Great central location to explore the west dales and even a bit of the Lakes if you don't mind a little drive. Would stay here again
Thank you for your lovely feedback, we are glad you liked the surrounding area and like you say we are also not too far from the lakes. We hope to see you again another time. Kind regards Neil and Gaynor. Property Owner

"The only small thing is that there is no where to put your toiletries in the shower a suction basket would be very useful."
Hi there, yes that is something we can rectify, thank you for the feedback and we hope you come again to see us in the future. Kind regards Neil and Gaynor. Property Owner

"A really first class holiday retreat - extremely well furnished and equipped."

"Beautiful property, lovely and clean , quality throughout with great attention to detail ."
Loved the log fire with plenty of logs for us to use and bathing in the copper bath was absolute luxury. Amazing location , with so much to do in the area , friendly owners the flowers and the bowl of sweets were greatly enjoyed thank you . If I had one suggestion to enhance the stay It would be to have more plates, cups , bowls , cutlery etc so that we could have used the dish washer with a couple of days worth of crockery rather than having to do the dishes as we would need things for the next meal . We didn’t have a chance to see the owners on our departure so would really appreciate it if you could pass on our thanks Kind Regards Allison
Hi, thank you so much for your kind comments and useful feedback on the cutlery/crockery, we can certainly improve on this!. Really pleased you enjoyed your stay with us and we hope to see you again in the future!. Kind regards Neil and Gaynor. Property Owner

"We loved our stay at Orcaber Retreat."
The cottage is super comfortable with a giant relaxing sofa, super king-size bed and heated floor in the bathroom. The location is great, set in beautiful countryside and handy for shops in nearby Austwick and Settle. Neil and Gaynor were really friendly and helpful and we appreciated the fresh flowers on arrival and the sweets on the coffee table. I loved seeing the horses in harness passing by the window and the newly arrived foals. We will be back!
Thank you very much for your lovely feedback, we are so pleased you enjoyed your stay and the surrounding area. We look forward to welcoming you back again. Many thanks Neil and Gaynor. Property Owner

"Perfect! We loved the retreat - just right for two people with lovely furnishings, clean and well maintained with plenty of space indoors and out."
Great location for exploring the Dales. The weather was great during our stay but this would also be a cosy place to stay during the winter. We will definitely be back!

"We really enjoyed our stay at Orcaber Farm."
The place is really clean and fresh and the facilities are of a high standard. Gaynor and Neil introduced themselves to us and Neil checked that everything was to our liking, they are very pleasant people. We couldn't have picked a nicer place to stay. Highly recommended.

The cottage exceeded our expectations and it is one of the best I’ve stayed in. We were sad to leave!

"(Before you read this, please note that we also run a B&B (on air), so we have plenty of experience of being 5 star hosting) Neil and Gaynor were very welcoming (but totally left us alone and were exceptionally respectful of our privacy)."
The retreat was 5* clean! It is an amazingly spacious little cottage (on a working farm) but very comfortable, big 'smart' TV's in both the lounge and bedroom. A wonderful, very hi-spec shower room (There is a HUGE copper bath in the corner of the very large bedroom (but we didn't use it). Copious amounts of very hot water on demand, full wi-fi and a huge bed. We thought it was exceptional value for money and very comfortable. Very hi-end kitchen appliances (washing machine/tumble dryer, dishwasher, large fridge freezer, good oven and induction hob). If we had one small recommendation, we would have liked a few more glasses, utensils (tongs), cutlery and crockery as every day, we ran out and had to wash up. We would happily return. Many thanks.
Hi Guys, thank you so much for your positive feedback. We are really pleased you found everything up to spec and enjoyed our little retreat especially as you are in the business yourselves and have such high standards. We will definitely look into supplying some more crockery etc. By the way the marmalade is delicious thanks very much, hope to see you both again soon, Neil and Gaynor. Property Owner

"Fantastic location, ideal for walking."
Comfortable cottage.
-
"Lovely place."
Stayed cosy and warm in a VERY cold and snowy week. The sofa is a little difficult to get out of if you are old but the bed is lovely and comfortable. Facilities are top-class.
-
"Amazing property in a gorgeous location."
Definitely be back!
-
"Not the first time to Orcaber farm in fact have been a total of 5 times in the three cottages."
Gaynor and Neil look after these cottages extremely well and are very welcoming. We have already booked again.
-
"Absolutely spotless, a hidden gem of a place, Neil was very chatty and respectful, lovely to see all the horses and sheep in the fields, very peaceful and quiet."
Comfortable bed and relaxing bath. Ideal place if you want peace and quiet and a place to just chill. The log fire was cosy and so simple to use, Just on the outskirts of the trough of Bowland and Yorkshire dales, nothing negative to say about the place, we're thinking of booking again in the very near future, we've been to lots of places to stay and orcaber farm retreat is definitely in our top 3. It's a 10/10 from me.
-
"View from the lounge includes rotting horse transporter, weed covered sand school and derelict stables."
Cottage was really dusty and shower room toilet had dried urine all around base of toilet and in the floor grout. Needs decorating now as really shabby. This was our third visit to this property and unfortunately will be the last.
Hi there Mrs Johnson, we are so sorry that you had a disappointing stay on your 3rd visit to our property. The wooden stables have now been demolished, the sand paddock re done and the area landscaped. The property has been fully decorated, we pride ourselves on our housekeeping and can only apologise that you found it wasn't up to its usual high standard. We really hope you reconsider and come back to stay with us again, where hopefully you will have a great time as previous visits. Property Owner

-
"Wow, wow, wow."
Absolutely beautiful property. Everything we needed for a luxury romantic week away. Comfy bed, fabulous shower and dreamy copper bath. Fell asleep on the couch numerous times as it's so comfy. We had been looking forward to our week away from the day we booked it last year, and we weren't disappointed. Perfect base for exploring North Yorkshire. Please make sure to visit Gordale Scar and Janet's Foss for a truly magical experience. Game Cock pub has amazing food and fabulous service. Will definitely be back to Orcaber Farm Retreat! Soft furnishings were perfect and have given us ideas for our own home. Neil and Gaynor have a great eye for detail making sure the retreat has everything you need to make your stay easy and comfortable

"Beautiful, well equipped, cosy cottage."
Orcaber retreat is situated in a great area for walking and exploring the best of Yorkshire and the Lakes. Very clean, comfortable and welcoming. The cottage has everything you could want...and a bit more.
-
"Cottage is warm cosy and the owners are friendly and helpful."
Comfy bed is massive. Lovely wood burner. Staying so close to Christmas the owners had decorated a Christmas tree in the living room which is a nice festive touch. Snow fell after our arrival and the surrounding countryside made this place all the more special; we took many photographs on our walks in the snow.. Nice walk to Clapham via the river. Good food at the Craven Arms and wonderful artisan bakery at Ye Olde Naked Man, Settle. Highly recommended place to stay.
-
"Outstanding retreat ."
Very clean . Amazing views. Would recommend to family & Friends. Even though we had a rainy week away we really enjoyed our break away . 10 out of 10

"Fantastic property set in glorious surroundings with beautiful walls from the door."
Most relaxing holiday we’ve ever had. Can’t wait to return next year!
-
"We had a wonderful week here in this beautiful cottage."
It was really well equipped and comfortable throughout. Lovely area to sit out but you have to remember it’s a working farm , and there are lots of vehicles passing by all day long. However , we would return. We visited the game cock inn , which was a 20 minute stroll, several times. The food is delicious! We also walked to Austwick and had breakfast at Elaine’s tea room which was also delicious.
-
"Great location and comfortable cottage, nothing to criticise, thank you."
-
"Superbly equipped with high quality cooking appliances."
The cottage was beautiful inside and absolutely spotless!! I’ve never been in a cottage that was cleaned to such a high standard as Orcaber Farm. Gaynor and Neil were lovely and pleasant who helped make us feel welcome on arrival. The bath in the bedroom was fantastic and I really enjoyed a good soak numerous times throughout the week, the shower was also fantastic. I also can honestly say I’ve never slept so well in a holiday cottage as I did here, the extra large bed was so comfortable. A lovely gem and we will definitely be going back again in the future. Thank you Gaynor and Neil we loved it.
-
"Loved it, so peaceful and beautiful."
Excellent quality appliances and furnishings etc.

The log burner, huge bath and general quality of everything made it feel like a little luxury break. The owners were helpful and available if needed but not at all intrusive. We would highly recommend the cottage.

-
"A fantastic cottage - wonderful area to visit - lovely friendly owners"

"The owner was very welcoming and showed us around the cottage."

-
"Beautifully appointed accommodation with friendly hosts."
Surroundings are stunning. Chickens to feed and horses to see. We have booked to return already. Highly recommend.
-
"The cottage was extremely well equipped and comfortable."
We enjoyed being close to the animals on the farm, and also close to the Yorkshire three peaks. Overall a great stay.
-
"As soon as you step in, it is a home-from-home experience ."
Clean and with subtle touches, our short stay was perfect and we are looking to rebook! The small, enclosed garden is private and the working farm of horses and chickens near the property is wonderful!
-
"This was our second stay, and we enjoyed it just as much as before."
The amenities are very well laid out and it feels nice and comfortable/spacious. We met the owner briefly. All the furnishings and finish of the cottage are to a high standard - everything works and works well.

It was perfect location and in easy reach of surrounding villages with plenary of walking routes! Would definitely recommend booking up!
-
"Beautifully presented, warm and cosy."
The weather was horrendous but we were staying somewhere very welcoming so be burrowed down and made the most of it. On a farm & livery yard so we had visiting ducks and hens to entertain us A winner thank you Sykes and the owners for bringing it to our attention. I’m sure we will be back.
-
"Fabulous place to get away from it all and just relax."
Just off the A65, but couldn’t hear the road at all, just the sound of the chickens wandering, or the sheep in nearby fields or the horses in the stable block. Perfectly named also. Will revisit, most defiantly
-
"Really nice place, very comfortable with great facilities (the bed and bath are amazing!"
Great shower and huge TV/ sofa too). Awesome location, not far from very lovely walk up ingleborough. Would definitely reccomend!
-
"This is our 2nd visit to this accommodation and it never disappoints."
We had a warm welcome, the accommodation was spotless and a pint of milk was chilling ready for a cup of tea when we arrived. The cottage is well appointed, cosy and comfortable. Seeing the horses and ducks through the lounge window is lovely and at times comical. It's a great base to visit this part of Yorkshire.
-
"The cottage was excellent in all aspects, we had no complaints at all."
-
"What an amazing week we spent at Orcaber Farm."
Our little cottage was perfectly located with amazing pubs a short walk away. After long walks in the Yorkshire Dales and Forest of Bowland, the cottage was a home away from home but with added luxury. The sofa and bed were both incredibly comfortable and the bath in the bedroom was fantastic to unwind in. We also loved being surrounded by a few farm animals and enjoyed the geese and chicken strolling around the cottage during the day. We will definitely be back, thank you for a wonderful stay.
-
"This is an excellent holiday retreat."
100% satisfied. Cottage and surroundings were truly superb.
-
"It was excellent every thing we expected and more a real home from home loved it"
-
"Lovely cottage."
Very clean and everything you need. The bed was so comfy. Don’t usually sleep well when I’m away but I did in this bed. Unfortunately only stayed two nights and didn’t have time to make use of the gorgeous bath. Would definitely recommend.
-
"A Mary Poppins of a holiday property."
Practically perfect in every way. Great weather did help!
-
"Orcaber Farm Retreat was everything and more we could have hoped for."
The cottage was very well appointed with all the latest high end appliances and a big flat screen TV with Sky. The bed was huge and having a bath actually in your bedroom was very novel and this was complimented by a larger shower room. The owners were very welcoming and provided us with information on walks in the area and local attractions. We made use of these, taking in some walks around the lovely village of Austwick as well as further afield. Highly recommended.
-
"An excellent cottage where Neil and Gaynor have thought of everything"
-
"Lovely cottage surrounded by a working farm."
The host were very welcoming and there is plenty to do in this beautiful part of Yorkshire.
-
"A beautiful cottage for a getaway (romantic?"
) in the N Yorkshire Dales. Fitted to a high standard, and spacious. Neal and Gaynor very helpful.
-
"Neil and Gaynor made us feel extremely welcome and were there to meet us on arrival."
The cottage itself exceeded our expectations. An amazing Wood burner which threw out the heat minutes after lighting, which was awesome after a day scrabbling about one of the nearby 3 Yorkshire Peaks. The copper bath is decadent luxury, as comfortable as it looks in the photos, and once again perfect to melt into after a day exploring the beautiful Dales. We really look forward to returning
-
"We booked this cottage on the morning of our arrival day, which was very accommodating of the owners at such short notice."
We were greeted on arrival by Gaynor and Neil who showed us round and who were very helpful and nothing was too much trouble for them. It showed that this was the first time the cottage had been let out for holidays, as it was immaculate. The cottage had been decorated to a very high standard and the appliances were top rate. There was everything we could possibly need to make our stay as comfortable as possible. The cottage was warm and cosy, the wood burner helped with this aspect even though we didn't really need it as the weather was kind to us. I could imagine in the winter months the burner would not disappoint, the heat it generated was immense. We had a lovely comfortable sofa and huge tv for total relaxation. The king size bed with top quality bedding all helped to aid a restful night sleep as it was so comfortable. My husband has mobility problems so we found the wet room shower to be most accommodating, as it was powerful and roomy. The lovely deep bath in the bedroom is nice for those able to have a nice soak before bed. The cottage is situated down a quiet road, with ample off road parking. Neil also provided us with garden furniture during our stay to provide us with a nice place to sit out in the garden while the weather was fine. There are lots of things to do, whether visiting the many lovely villages, markets or walking. I would highly recommend this cottage as a superb base to spend your holiday, you will not be disappointed as our hosts go that little bit further than most to make sure "it's home from home or better".

The property
Nestled on the northern fringes of the Forest of Bowland, just off the outskirts of Austwick and the limestone scars of the Yorkshire Dales, is Orcaber Farm Retreat.
With a beautiful finish and plenty of character oozing through the interior, choose to bring your loved one for a romantic getaway in this fascinating part of the country.
Head into the lounge, on return from a long walk through heather-clad moors and windswept valleys and relax on the sumptuous sofa in front of the fabulous woodburning stove, taking centre stage on one side of the room.
This open-plan living space also showcases a modern, well-equipped kitchen for you to prepare home-cooked meals together and dine at the table for two over a delicious bottle of wine.
The décor is light and neutral and there are picture frames to brighten up your day, with images of the local area.
Catch up on your day and make the most of an evening in before retiring to the super king-size double bedroom.
Indulge with a hot soak in the stunning, freestanding bath tub, tucked into one corner of the room, or head into the en-suite for a refreshing shower before heading to bed.
You also have plenty of storage to stow away your belongings and a dressing table to get ready at each morning, as well as bedside tables and considered lighting.
Sit out on a balmy afternoon in the enclosed garden and watch the world go by with a refreshing drink in hand, as a horse greets you at the fence from the stable opposite.
Head into the cosy village of Austwick and enjoy a night off from the cooking for a change by paying a visit to the local pub, serving home-cooked food.
Set off the beaten track, you have access to many rural corners hosting a wealth of walking and cycling trails enveloped by stunning landscape scenery.
Other attractions in the area include Ingleborough Cave, close to the village of Clapham with guided tours, the well-known, circular Ingleton Waterfalls Trail, along with Malham Cove, Janet's Foss and Gordale Scar.
A wonderful retreat for two in a fine region of North Yorkshire.
About the location
AUSTWICK
Settle 5 miles; Ingleton 5 miles; Skipton 20 miles.
Situated on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales National Park, this is arguably one of the finest areas for walking in the region. With limestone pavements and scars, caves and open moors, the area has a wealth of natural interest and there are wonderful cycle tracks and walks on the doorstep. Austwick boasts a local pub serving excellent home cooked meals and a country hotel for something a little more special, as well as a shop and Post Office for visitors’ daily requirements. This quiet village is nicely off the beaten track, yet the market towns of Settle, Kirkby Lonsdale, Skipton and Kendal are all within easy driving distance.
