• "A wonderful stay in this beautiful part of the world made even better by having Pemba Cottage as a base."

  Well equipped cosy cottage has everything you could possibly need. There are walks from the doorstep and a pub less than two minutes walk away. The cottage was exceptionally clean and the bed was so comfortable after a day hiking through the Dales. Everything is easily accessible and we had a truly amazing stay - would highly recommend as the perfect base to explore the Yorkshire Dales.

• "We absolutely loved our stay in cosy Pemba cottage."

  The photos don’t do it justice - super clean, the most comfortable beds and in the perfect setting. We took our 2 kids and dog and found so many places to explore 20-30 minutes drive away, plus some lovely walks from the doorstep. It’s a really well equipped cottage with excellent Wi-Fi and a gorgeous wood burning stove. The owners left some lovely touches, including a welcome basket for the dog, port and pies for the grown ups. Couldn’t recommend this place more highly.

  Thanks for your kind words Rachel! Property Owner

• "Thank you so much Jon & Nikki for the stay in your beautiful cottage."

  Pemba has everything & more, the kitchen is so well equipped, the beds are crisp & comfy, the whole cottage is clean & cosy. The pork pues & port were a tasty welcome treat. It is situated in such a great place for seeing the area, everywhere we wanted to visit was about 11 miles away & there is a wonderful walk around the bridle path in the village, ideal for an evening stroll

  See you next time! Property Owner

• "A cottage full of character and charm, and very comfortable."

  We did find it quite dark inside, but this is to be expected in a cottage of that age. The parking right outside the door was great, as not far to carry heavy cases and food boxes! We did find the duvet extremely hot and heavy, and didn't know until we stripped the bed before leaving that it was actually two duvets fastened together. Maybe the owners could leave a note to that effect in future? There were a couple of things that didn't work but we left notes for the owners, who were probably aware of them anyway.

• "We really enjoyed our stay in Pemba Cottage."

  It is cosy and comfortable, also one of the best equipped cottages we have every stayed in. It is in a great location, wonderful walks right on the doorstep. Plenty of good gastropubs within short walking/driving distance. If you are thinking of staying in the beautiful Yorkshire Dales we highly recommend Pemba Cottage.

  Thanks Liz, that's really kind. Property Owner

• "This cottage is well located for walks straight from the front door."

  Local amenities (pub and Spar shop with excellent local butcher's section) are close by. The cottage has a well equipped kitchen and a large master bedroom. Parking is a small (one car sized) plot immediately outside the front door. It was always available during our stay, however there was ample alternate parking nearby. Would highly recommend a stay here.

• "Arrived at Pemba Cottage on a wet miserable rainy day and when we walked inside, it was a little oasis of warmth, comfort and delight."

  We settled our cases and such in and then made ourselves comfortable, as did our dogs, in the living room. The furnishings, beds and bedding is of a high quality and all very comfortable. The kitchen is well appointed and has just about every item you could wish for. Even a slow cooker. Very handy as we were obviously out and about exploring on most days. There is a log bin outside with a huge amount in it and you just load a large basket and store it in the corner of the kitchen for use as required. Pay for what you use in an “honesty box.” The house is warm as it is, but we lit a fire for the night after a particularly miserable day out and made extra cosy. There is parking outside the cottage for one large car and space 50 metres around the corner should you have a second car. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay, it’s a great base for exploring the area and I couldn’t recommend it highly enough.

  Great stuff Gary. See you again perhaps?! Property Owner

• "Pemba Cottage is a very cosy property, situated in the small village of Threshfield."

  Only a mile or so away from the quaint village of Grassington. We enjoyed our stay - the cottage was constantly warm and there is a log burner to supplement colder nights. The cottage is very well equipped even for your four legged friends!!!!! The owners had very thoughtfully left us some port wine and some pork pies, made by an established local butcher. Our stay was over New Year. The weather was not kind!! It rained a lot but that did not hamper our stay. Literally across the road, we can recommend The Old Hall. Superb food, a log fire and equally superb ales. Our stay was marred by the fact that we could not get the television to work! No matter what we tried, it just would not produce a picture. We sent the owners text messages seeking help - they were SUPERB!!! It has to be said. The problem was eventually solved by linking my laptop to the television and watching television programmes via my laptop and the internet. The owners, very kindly, left us some port wine and some pork pies, produced by a local butcher. Apart from that blimp, we thoroughly recommend Pemba Cottage - you will not be disappointed. Enjoy!!!!

  Thanks folks, that's really kind. TV engineer been today, and a weak signal (locally) combined with an iffy aerial cable, now replaced. So hopefully if you come again, all will be as it should be. Best wishes, Jon and Nik Property Owner

• "We had a very enjoyable stay at Pemba Cottage and would stay again."

  Although we gave it 5 stars, there was a couple of minor issues, the sofa under the stairs was not the most comfortable and some of the cooking equipment needed a little more cleaning. Thankyou Nikki and Jon for an enjoyable stay.

  Hello Philip. Thanks for the comments. The sofa 'under the stairs' is only a year or two old and it's our favourite of the two! Unfortunately, in the changeover time available, our cleaning team of two don't have time to rewash every pot or pan in the kitchen. We do do an audit of everything on a regular basis however, and will keep an eye out for the cooking equipment. Property Owner

• "We had an amazing stay at this beautiful cottage."

  It is absolutely gorgeous inside and out, it was exactly what we hoped for when we booked it. Its the perfect base to explore the surrounding area from, which is stunning. We had 2 dogs with us, the cottage was really dog friendly, big basket of treats, toys and blankets for us to use, plus dog towels and shampoo for after muddier walks. There was a very well equipped kitchen which we made good use of, but eating out is no problem either as most places are also dog friendly. The cottage is so cosy, but has plenty of room, we were a family of 4 adults and 2 dogs and it was perfect. Would definately stay again! I would love to light the fire on a winters night. Thanks for a great holiday xx

  The cottage was warm and welcoming as well as being absolutely spotless. Location wise we felt that Pemba Cottage was perfect with lovely walks, a useful shop and a great pub on the doorstep. Grassington is only a short walk away on well lit pavements making it safe to do in the dark. The facilities in the cottage were exactly as described on the listing and Jon was contactable if we had any problems (we didn’t!). We will definitely be back again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Pemba Cottage to others. The only thing that may bother people is the lack of outside space but this is more than offset by the beautiful countryside on the doorstep!

  It was good to see that there were plenty of empty cupboards available in the kitchen for our own food and not a lot of excess/ surplus cooking utensils that we have found in some other cottages over many years of hiring holiday lets. We feel that offering to change the bed linen and towels should be the norm if the stay is for a 2 week period.(If it is included in the hiring charge in the 1st place). After all it would be changed between one week lets. The welcome "treat" was much appreciated and enjoyed. Thank you.

  Pemba proved to be a perfect base for many walks straight from the door without using car (which incidentally you park right outside the front door!) and that for us was so easy.The River Wharfe is very close by and you can walk that in either direction and there are many other great places nearby Malham Tarn, Brimham Rocks and Bolton Abbey all recommended. The cottage itself has no garden so we didn’t take our dog... we should have brought her tho as the cottage is very dog friendly and there’s no shortage of open spaces to walk a dog very close by so next time she’s coming with us!

• "This little cottage is everything and more!"

  As a Sykes employee, I booked this gorgeous cottage for our first little getaway with our new puppy (her first time being able to walk on the lead) and it was perfect. I was blown away by how cosy everything looked when we first arrived, from the beautiful bedroom with the most comfortable bed (I NEED to find out where that duvet is from) to all the little added extras, the pork pie and port in the kitchen waiting for us and all the little treats for the puppy. We spent 4 nights here but could have easily spent the week, the pub across the road was our local and where we went every night, literally not even 1 minutes walk away from a spar also! We went into Grassington and also Skipton and then also spent a day in Malham walking to the Gordale Scar. The cottage is in a great location to be able to drive to all of these places with such lovely scenery on the way! We found Grassington slightly quiet but once we discovered the Devonshire pub, we loved it. We surprisingly didn't eat out once, because the house and kitchen was so cosy and had so many facilities we were able to stay at home and cook anything we wanted. It also snowed when we were there which made it even better! The only issue I would say that we had, was that there is no garden, but it wasn't too much of a problem for us as we took the Puppy out on her lead most of the time but maybe wouldn't visit here in summer because of wanting somewhere to sit and eat outside. Aside from that, I couldn't fault this little cottage. It has the 5 ticks for a reason and we loved it all.

  Everything has been thought about so you dont have to run out to the shops to get something you've forgotten. Highly recommend this cottage for a trip to the Yorkshire Dales. Thank you

• "The most perfect Dales cottage!"

  Really well equipped and some very thoughtful ‘welcoming’ touches. The master bedroom was absolute luxury... to the standard of a 5* hotel with large comfortable bed. The quiet location is perfect with some fantastic walks from the door and pub and shop (with quality butchers) a very short walk away. Coming back to this cosy cottage after a day’s walking was bliss. Thank you, we will definitely be back.

• "Lovely cottage with amazing facilities!"

  Far beyond what many places offer. It is always disappointing when you choose to self-cater but struggle to do so with what is provided in the kitchen. Pemba Cottage, however, has everything you need and is a real ‘home from home’.

• "We had a fabulous stay in Pemba Cottage during the World Cycling Championships."

  The weather was mixed but we still found plenty to do, some glorious walks on the dry days - to Kettlewell and then back on the bus and up to Buckden Pike in glorious sunshine. We also headed into Leeds on the train from Skipton when it rained. The cottage is really well equipped with lots of homely touches and was the perfect base for our adventures. The nearby shop is very well stocked too.

• "The cottage was excellent: tastefully decorated, well-equipped, and very comfortable."

  The kitchen had everything you could wish for, including supplies of very good tea and coffee. I would suggest clearer instructions for the oven and the central heating: the oven I could only get to work if I put the timer on, and the central heating was clear enough for temperature but not regarding putting on a timed on/off. But these are minor quibbles as both oven and heating were efficient. The location of the cottage was also very good: with a local Spar, pub and even bus-stop! We did two walks from the cottage and explored Wharfedale and nearby areas such as Malham Tarn/Cove, Bolton Abbey and Skipton. Very impressive.
