"A very comfortable and warm cottage in an ideal location for walking and exploring the Dales."
Despite the less than clement weather (Storm Henk) over the New Year we still got out everyday, with fabulous walking from the door, and the layout of the cottage was perfect for getting off soaking kit and drying Riley the dog in the large utility room before entering the main house; the excellent heating system being perfect for drying everything out ready for the next days adventures. Despite of, or perhaps because of, the very wet weather, it was always a pleasure to return to the cottage in the evening, cook dinner, settle in front of the log burner, and then retire to the very comfortable beds. It would have been lovely to sit outside and enjoy the garden and views, Perfect for a Summers day!
Thank you for this lovely review. Property Owner

"Very comfortable."
Very clean. In the ideal position. Our dog loved the close proximity of the sheep. Thankfully the garden was fully enclosed which is always a worry with a pet. There is an issue with tv which has been reported in the visitors book. This was also reported by the previous occupants There were no instructions on the WiFi which caused an unnecessary text There were no instructions as to what to do with waste as indicated would be there by Sykes. All in all an excellent stay
Hi David, so pleased you enjoyed your stay. The issue with the TV was due to BBC upgrading to HD only and has been resolved with a new TV. Wifi instructions are in a book in the cottage and could not be simpler as you can log straight on, no codes required! Property Owner

"The Cottage is in a superb quiet restful location with great views."
The double bed was particularly comfortable, and overall we had a very good holiday. There were several areas where we felt let down, especially the sofas which were very sagging, tired, low and extremely uncomfortable, that I found them to be unusable and couldn't understand why they are in this cottage. I had a very constructive dialogue with the owner, and understand that several issues will be addressed in due course.
Thank you for your review, as you know i was away when you stayed in the cottage, I always appreciate constructive feedback. I just wished you had called me whilst at the cottage rather than once you as left as some of the issues could have been resolved whilst you were still there. Property Owner

"Comfy cottage in a lovely area, walking from the door, no need to use car, if you don’t want to Friendly welcome from the owner."
Cottage was basic, and do agree with previous reviews, that the sofas were very shabby and dirty, and should be replaced, to meet Skye’s cottages standard.

"Bathroom and bedrooms very good."
Boot room on entering the cottage great, especially with a dog. Beautiful location and very peaceful. Cottage very cosy. Lounge furniture rather tired and uncomfortable. Kitchen would also benefit from some updating.
Thank you for the feedback, I have now ordered some new foam cushions following your comments about the furniture. Property Owner

"We absolutely loved the cottage and how close it was to so many beautiful walking routes and lovely towns/villages."
The only thing we would say as potential for improvement is the sofas I the living room are a little tired and not comfy to sit in. But that is the only thing we would improve as everything else was lovely
Thank you for your lovely review :) Property Owner

"This is a delightful cottage where we were very comfortable despite storm Ciara, and we had a lovely holiday, walking from the cottage with our dog to friendly pubs with good food in both directions."
The Dales Way beside the River Wharfe is lovely and there are lots of places of interest just short drives away. We thoroughly recommend it! Jim and Elaine Tateson from Kent.

The cottage was the perfect size for a family of four and we all agreed we'll definitely be booking again to explore more of this beautiful area.

"Location of Sandywood is it's biggest attribute."
Loads of great venues close by and pubs which although pricey due to their captive audience are full of charm and character. Lovely host Helen who came to greet us and answer any Qs we had. Unfortunately we were plagued by wasps at the cottage so couldn't sit out, but I think this was just unlucky timing as other venues we visited were aswell. Very comfortable cottage well kitted out. We would definitely return.

"The view was great"
-
"Lovely cottage in a fantastic location."
Very clean and well equipped. Two minor issues that would prevent us re-booking this particular cottage. Downstairs bathroom is a long way to go from upstairs in the middle of the night the double bed was a little small and uncomfortable - the room is big enough for a king size.
-
"Enjoyed the house which was near the village and which was ideal for us."
It was near a number of sights and walks. More in fact than we expected. Ideal spot for getting out in the area.
-
"Lovely cottage, friendly owner in good location."
Enjoyable stay. Listing could be clearer that towels are not included. Cottage facilities could be improved with a dishwasher.
-
"Nice cottage in a great location."
We were very pleased with the entry at the rear where we could leave our hiking boots and clothes. The kitchen lacked some in our opinion essential supplies such as a set of sharp knives, a few chopping boards and a frying pan.

The property
A traditional detached cottage in an idyllic hillside position on the outskirts of the delightful village of Burnsall, with uninterrupted views of Burnsall Fell.
Originally a farm worker's cottage, the property has been fully renovated to provide warm, cosy accommodation with immense character and charm, retaining many original features such as the stone fireplace, oak beams and mullion windows.
The lovely enclosed garden provides an excellent spot for alfresco dining, whilst just a short walk away is an award-winning pub, serving real ales and fabulous food.
Enjoy good walking and cycling from the doorstep, or explore Bolton Abbey and the infamous Strid, a notorious stretch of deep water where the River Wharfe is forced into a deep, thundering channel.
The elegant market town of Grassington, with its cobbled square littered with local shops, pubs and cafes is just 5 miles away, making this an ideal location, to be enjoyed whatever the time of year.
About the location
BURNSALL
Grassington 4 miles; Skipton 12 miles.
A delightful village in beautiful Wharfedale, Burnsall is situated on a bend in the River Wharfe and is framed by the dramatic backdrop of Burnsall Fell. The oldest building in the village is thought to be the 12th century church and the lovely village school is one of the oldest in Britain. Perhaps the most famous feature in the village is the bridge - a traditional Dales bridge with five stone arches. The river meanders through the village and with an extensive village green and magnificent walks in the area, this delightful area makes a superb base for exploring the Dales and all it has to offer. The village itself has a pub/hotel, and a tea room, whilst nearby Grassington and Skipton offer a fuller range of amenities. Children shouldn’t miss Burnsall’s river 'beach' - just a few minutes' walk away and a 'must' on a sunny day!
