"A beautiful cottage - exceptionally clean."
Everything needed in the kitchen to cook a meal. Perfect for our stay with decent walks from the door step. The owners are very generous, supplying wood for the gorgeous log burner. WiFi signal in twin room was poor but these are old houses with very thick walls. Fab local shop for any emergency supplies to top up. A real home from home.

"Well equipped, clean, comfortable cottage."
Heating rather hit and miss but fortunately there was a woodburner as it was rather chilly in the evenings. Hot water not hot enough for a bath or to wash up. Good shower and comfy bed.
Thanks for your feedback. Sorry to hear that you had heating issues - had we known we would have tried to sort it out. Heating is on a timer now but can be overridden by guests. Glad that you used the wood burner - we always ensure there is plenty of wood. The hot water is usually very hot so we will look into that. With best wishes

"Lovely property and very well equipped with everything you need to make this a home from home."
The village has lots of great walks nearby and both village pubs are highly recommended. Only complaint is the heating being controlled remotely, we have stayed in the cottage in summer before when this was not a problem, however we found it to be too cold for us with the heating only coming on twice a day in the winter. It would be better of the guest were the one controlling the heat levels, this did mean we got to make good use out of the excellent log burner.
Thanks for your feedback Katy, we are glad you enjoyed your stay, got to explore the area again and made full use of the log burner for which we always ensure there is plenty of wood. Please be assured that guests can fully take control of both the oil and electric radiators. They are controlled by us, on a timer, when the cottage is empty but this can be overridden. We would have changed the timer for the heating be on a lot longer if we had known that you did not have control so we are sorry to hear that you were cold at times but hope that the burner helped with that.

"Excellent! Possibly the best equipped and cleanest self catering accommodation we've ever rented!"
From the first email to the short call to resolve a query the owners have been as communicative and helpful as possible. We will not only recommend this cottage but Sykes as well. The only niggle is the height of the final set into the property, it was a bit challenging for my wife who had a knee replacement 3 months ago. However this did not is anyway detract form our overall satisfaction with the cottage.

"Hope Cottage offers very comfortable accommodation which is well situated for walking, cycling and touring in Wensleydale."
It is possible to walk up Penhill directly from the property. The kitchen is well equipped.
It was slightly odd to have some of the heating remotely controlled, though Sharon quickly adjusted it when we emailed.
Parking (opposite the property) looks as though it could be a problem, but isn't. The A684 carries very little traffic after 7pm.
The bike shed only really had room for one bike and could only be accessed via the house so my bike had to wheeled or carried through the hall and sitting room whenever I wanted to use it.

"Fantastic cottage in great location."
The cottage had everything we needed and was very comfortable, clean and spacious. Stairs are a bit steep to second bedroom and bathroom but was okay for us. The fox and hound serves food until 8.45pm so if you fancy unwinding with no cooking or driving then you’ve got everything on you’re doorstep. There’s a lovely private terrace at the rear but we didn’t get chance to sit out there.

Everything you need in the cottage to make it feel like home from home. Local pub along the road was great for a drink after a day of walking and sightseeing. Would recommend Forbidden Corner (kids or no kids!) Middleham Castle and Thorp Perrow. Leyburn is also great and just a short drive away. Wonderful stay. Thank you!

"Great location for exploring the Dales."
Pub, restaurant and village shop just a short walk away. Lovely walks locally. No need to take the car. Parking can be an issue. The cottage is on a main road and while parking is permitted, it is quite a narrow road and not well lit at night. Parking is available in a side street, nearest location about 120 yards away.

"Absolutely lovely cottage with everything you could need - even a slow cooker for those colder days: come back from a day's walking to a lovely hot meal."
Loads of wonderful places to visit locally including castles, waterfalls and lovely villages. Make sure you visit Richmondshire Museum in Richmond - and Duncan's Tearoom: ask for a left handed pastry fork! And visit Campbell's in Leyburn for your shopping - amazing supermarket packed with local produce and more Yorkshire tea varieties than you've ever seen!
Wonderful base to explore the region - will definitely visit again.
