"Our second stay at this property was just as good as last time ."
Great little village with lovely walks without needing the car. We would definitely return to this property again in the near future. Beautiful place to stay, very friendly people in the village, the fish and chip van on a Thursday evening was very welcome and greatly enjoyed by us both. Thank you letting us stay in your lovely cottage.
Thank you so much for your positive comments, we are so pleased you enjoyed your stay for the second time and look forward to you staying again in the future.

"The cottage was lovely clean, welcoming, and warm."
Smelled lovely throughout. Had pretty much everything you could need, and some things we didn't expect, like the throws in the living room. Wouldn't recommend the stairs for anyone with mobility issues as the rope handrail is not really supportive, but that will only affect the minority of people. The village is really friendly. Village shop (which has new extended opening hours) has all the basics and Leyburn is just a short drive for everything else. Excellent location for exploring the Dales. Fox pub is great for a drink and recommend the Three Horseshoes, and the Thursday night chip van that stops outside the Fox - arrival times on their website (welcome pack just says check out their Instagram, so we nearly missed it as we don't have Instagram). We stay self catering in the UK every year, and this has been one of our favourites so far of the last couple of decades. Would have gladly stayed longer, and will look forward to coming back at some point. Info for owners: The drawers in the kitchen are a little wonky- when you open the second one, the top one dips and has to be lifted to shut the second one properly. Just needs some attention to the runners. A loo brush in the downstairs loo would be a good addition.

"When we arrived the cleaners had not been informed we were arriving."
Consequently the beds had not been change, there was leftover food in the fridge. The cleaners arrived the next day and sorted everything, could not fault them.
The cottage itself was excellent and the facilities were great. We feel the error was the booking agent who did not inform the cleaners.

"The property is very lovely & quiet."
Perfect location for our plans. I couldn't fault the cleanliness and standard. The hose pipe to clean muddy paws was a real help and certainly should be added to the information as this would have been a definite selling point for us. We very much enjoyed our stay and I would definitely book again. I would bring my own pillows, we are all different. Thank you.

"Arrived to find a welcoming property that was very clean, light and airy."
The accommodation was very comfortable and provided an excellent base as I was undertaking a course nearby for a few days and then spending some time rediscovering the local area - the absolutely delightful Wensleydale. Its location was superb for such exploration including local walks from West Witton as well as places only a short drive away. It was great that the cottage had off-street parking. It was situated in a quiet cul-de-sac but with easy access to the main road along the Dale. I had one question of the owner who was very friendly and helpful when contacted. For anyone with bikes or equipment there's a garage for this, although I didn't require this on this occasion. I would definitely stop there again.

"A lovely cottage in a good location."
The cottage had everything you needed for your stay. I would be happy to revisit.
A smaller casserole dish would be nice when you are only cooking for two people.
A larger mat that did not move inside the front door would help to keep the area cleaner.
