• "Very well located cottage - we were able to visit Fountains Abbey, Newby Hall, York, Harrogate, and Harewood House within easy travel times."

  We also made an evening trip to the opera in Leeds with ease. The cottage was excellent value and was comfortable, well equipped and warm. The driveway is narrow but will take most cars if careful and there is easy parking opposite.

• "The cottage is in a lovely village ."

  It's well furnished and nicely decorated. The garden wasn't safe for our small dog (shih tzu). I would never and didn't leave him unattended. Whilst on lead with me he showed me he was able to put his head under the 5 bar gate and could have got out .he loves checking pee mails and unfortunately the small holly bush in the garden poked his eye . It resulted in us taking him to emergency vet who checked his eyes .we were given eye drops and pain relief . We had to return to the vet the following day. Its a very painful injury and it spoiled our holiday as Oscar was very uncomfortable and couldn't settle. We returned to the vets the following day to check his eye again. The vet recommended we take Oscar to our own Vet on our return which we did this morning and we had to buy more eye drops We have to take him back on Thursday to our vet for another check. Up to today we have spent £380 on vets fees. What was meant to be a relaxing holiday was anything but.

• "A beautiful cottage, lovely furnishings and very clean."

  Drive narrow and hard to turn a long car, so best to park off road. Perfect for accessing Yorkshire moors and dales. All the equipment worked perfectly, and it was nice to have a welcome pack and contact numbers if needed.

• "We booked the cottage as a group of friends to stay for our friend’s wedding at Lodge Farm nearby."

  It was just what we needed, spotlessly clean, comfortable, and had plenty of mirrors…! Shower was powerful, bathroom clean and spacious, the kitchen was well equipped and there were plenty of sofas and seats to sit on in the living room. We didn’t use the garden but it looked very pretty out of the window. The village is also quaint and pretty and the local village pub serves good classic pub grub until 8pm - we found it a really friendly pub and food was freshly prepared and tasty. Overall a lovely stay and would definitely recommend for families or groups of friends like ours :)

  We are really pleased you enjoyed your stay at the cottage. It is a lovely village. Thank you for the recommendation. Property Owner

  Rooms were a great size. Kitchen was very well equipped. Whole cottage was spotlessly clean. Beds very comfortable. The heating was highly effective and kept the whole cottage lovely and warm. Welcome tray was a very nice touch, especially the dog biscuits. We would highly recommend this cottage.

• "A beautiful property in a quiet village."

  If you want a base to visit Ripon & North Yorkshire then this is ideal being close to the A1m. Lovely open views to fields at rear and on a quiet road. Well equipped kitchen, cosy lounge, large dining room and 3 excellent bedrooms. Handy utility room for taking off walking shoes & cleaning the dogs feet. Off road parking at rear. We could not fault this accomodation & would love to return again for a peaceful break. Friendly owner who contacted us ahead of visit. Thoroughly recommend.

  The driveway was very tight for our VW Golf - we needed to fold in our wing mirrors to negotiate it. The cottage was more spacious than expected and had all that we needed for an enjoyable stay.

• "Enjoyed our stay, great place for families."

  Spacious,very comfortable and a great base for many nearby attractions. Our boys particularly enjoyed Newby Hall and Lightwater Valley. Some confusion on our final day, when the guy came to collect bedding etc at 8.30. It was ready for him but he didn’t have anything to put it in so didn’t take it. Some initial problems with oven, but quickly resolved. Vincent very helpful. Thank you for a lovely stay.

  We arrived to find tea, coffee, milk and biscuits, the perfect welcome after our drive. Comfy beds and sofas encouraged us to relax and unwind, and there was enough warmth in the evening to sit in the pretty garden and watch the sheep! Vincent and Stephen are wonderful hosts and they provided great recommendations for walks, trips out and where to book for lunch/dinner. We had a wonderful stay.

• "We had a fantastic stay at West View in June, great location for us walks from the doorstep or if you want to travel a bit further then Patley Bridge and Lofthouse are not too far to drive."

  No shop in the village but Ripon only 4 miles away. Great friendly pub just around the corner which we visited on a couple of occasions enjoying a good home cook meal on the one visit. The cottage itself has 3 great sized bedrooms with comfortable beds. Big bathroom with a great shower although there was a certain knack to flushing the toilet, which could do with looking at. Great living room with comfortable sofa's, separate dining room with big table we could all sit round and eat at. Kitchen a nice size and well equipped although we did go out and buy our own wine glasses as wine glasses in the cottage were very small and could do with updating for those who enjoy a nice glass of wine. The back garden is lovely and as we had good weather it was a great place to sit out and our springer enjoyed the space, also great view and fab to see the lambs out the back. we had a fab week at West View and the best recommendation i can give is that we have rebooked for later on in the year

• "We had a marvellous week at West View, which is a beautiful, homely cottage, set in a lovely village."

  The cottage is well laid out with all the necessary facilities, which made our stay happy and relaxing, despite the variable weather that week. Our party consisted of father, daughter, two teenage granddaughters and for the first time, our small poodle. There was plenty of room for everyone and we all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Many thanks to Vincent, the owner, for keeping in touch and helping to make our stay memorable. We fully intend returning in the future.

  Thank you so much for your encouraging feedback and kind words, Graham. What a pleasure to have met your family at West View. We are so pleased that it has been a positive experience for Angel the poodle, too. We are really looking forward to welcoming you back to Melmerby soon. Hopefully, there'll be plenty of good weather for you to explore further afield in this part of North Yorkshire and we will be more than happy to offer some ideas. Property Owner

• "The cottage is beautiful."

  Really stylish but very homely and welcoming. We arrived with a lovely welcome tray and fresh milk and a tin of yummy dog biscuits for our dog. The beds are very comfortable and so are the pillows. The house was spotless, well equipped and plenty big enough for four adults, a toddler and a dog. The garden is beautiful especially seeing the little lambs in the field behind. The village is in a great location, just 10 minutes to Ripon and 25 to Harrogate. The village pub does great food with a friendly service. We got a local sainsburys to deliver a shop as we arrived, as there is no village shop you need to be prepared but you’re so close to other places it’s not a problem. The hosts were really friendly, kind and informative. We loved our stay here and are definitely rebooking to go back.

  Thank you so much for such wonderful feedback. We are truly grateful for your kind words and support. I am sure that others will find your comments very useful, too, to help them make their decisions. We are so relieved that you found the accommodation comfortable and there's room for your family and Gertrude. We hope that she's managed to meet a few of other dogs in the village - it's a very dog friendly village. Please do not hesitate to get in touch should you have any queries about your plans for returning to West View.. We look forward to welcoming you back. Many thanks again Property Owner

  There were 4 adults and 2 young children. There was plenty of room and everything we needed.

  Our family spent Christmas at the cottage and there was plenty room for five adults and three small dogs and two young children. Communication from Vincent was excellent and we had everything we needed for our stay. The garden was safe and secure for kids and dogs. The shower was fab and the real fire was lovely to cosy up to in the evenings. The play park just across the road is perfect for the kids. Would definitely recommend the cottage.
