• "We came home yesterday after a wonderful, much needed, relaxing week at The Lodge."

  The house is everything and more than you could wish for. Penny and John go out of their way to make sure you are welcomed from the minute you walk in. All of the little extras were a lovely surprise. The Lodge is definitely up there amongst the best places we have ever stayed. We had two days just staying in because we were so comfortable. The weather was perfect which was an added bonus. Thank you Penny and John.

  Thank you so much for your lovely comments, Andrew. We hope to see you again. Property Owner

• "We had an amazing stay at Hartlington Hall, our first visit to the Dales we were not disappointed."

  Penny and John had thought of every little thing,not only was the accommodation super comfortable, and the views from the Lodge were wonderful, it was quite and calm just perfect for a week's break. The additional touches in the kitchen, like teas, coffees, chocolate, milk, biscuits, cooking spices and not forgetting the wine! Location of the Lodge is an ideal place to explore the Dales. We would love to come back again one of the nicest places we have visited.

  Thank you so much Mita - we would love to welcome you back anytime! :) Property Owner

• "One of the nicest holiday cottages we’ve ever stayed in."

  The cottage was perfect in every way - charming, very comfortable, quiet, had everything we needed, and the hosts were so welcoming, providing things like milk, eggs, fruit etc. Fabulously located about a 10min walk to the sweet village of Burnsall and its lovely riverside pub, and then a beautiful walk along the river to the villages of Hebden and Grassington. There are also lots of other walking options nearby. We couldn’t have chosen better and hope to return soon.

  Thank you so much for your lovely comments, Rohan. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay with us, and we hope to see you again. Property Owner

• "My friends and I were enchanted by The Lodge and its spacious, light-filled rooms, charming decor and the owners’ attention to our every comfort."

  Secluded yet not remote, it offers tranquility and beautiful views, a lovely terrace and pretty gardens, and yet is a manageable walk to Burnstall village, where we enjoyed a terrific Sunday lunch at the Red Lion pub. To greet us upon arrival, there were fresh flowers and fruit, eggs from the owners’ hens, milk, and a nice bottle of wine, and all the basic necessities, such as coffee, tea, etc. The beds were very comftable, and there was even a choice of pillows. And North Yorkshire is very beautiful, with plenty to see and do. We had a wonderful time, and hope to come back some day. Thanks, Penny and John!

• "The property was very clean and comfortable."

  The only little niggle was that there were no bowls big enough to hold pasta or rice meals.

  Hi Dorothy - Thanks for the feedback. I confess I am a little confused. We literally put six pasta bowls in the cottage the week before after a guest suggested it. They were in the same cupboard as the cereal bowls. I will check to make sure they have not been moved by previous guests. :) Property Owner

• "The Lodge is incredible, a beautiful building in a stunning location."

  It's beautifully decorated and very well equipped and the generous welcome basket means from the moment you arrive you are able to relax. Penny and John have thought of everything you would need to feel comfortable and enjoy your holiday. The location is peaceful and a great base for local walks and exploring the wider Dales. We would definitely recommend The Lodge as a holiday location and can't wait to go back.

  The attention to detail in ensuring that comfort was assured, a welcome pack better than we have ever seen before, the equipment provided was of the best quality & more comprehensive than I have ever seen before in all the years I have embarked on cottage holidaying. My family & I thank you for giving us the the opportunity to experience a truly memorable family get together in your wonderful Lodge. David R

• "What a fantastic find!"

  The best thing about this property are all the little extras and welcome treats such as wine, chocs, bottle of milk, fruit and flowers. Lots of attention to detail and our family loved using the jacuzzi bath. All rooms are tastefully decorated in a traditional style with a modern twist. The living room is super cosy and the view of the Dales out of the large window was fabulous. The bbq is excellent and large enough to cook six big steaks at once. Beds are comfy and the rooms are well ventilated and airy. The kitchen is perfectly stocked and the agar cooking range is an excellent feature. The washer/dryer is a good brand and very handy. Our only request would be to include a drying rack for clothes as soon walking trouser and tshirts can’t be put in a tumble dryer. We had some fantastic walks in kettlewell and Buckden-Cray-Hubberholme. We also walked along the river to Grassington. Thank you Penny and John for being the perfect hosts We will certainly be back!

  Thank you for your lovely feedback Russell, we are so glad you all enjoyed your stay, and we look forward to seeing you again. Point taken re the drying rack, thank you for the suggestion, we will certainly take it on board. :) Property Owner

• "11 out of 10!"

  The owners are to be congratulated for the work they have done to The Lodge to make it the best holiday cottage we have stayed in. From well equipped kitchen and utility to well appointed bathrooms and tastefully decorated rooms to aid relaxation. However, it was outside for us that produced the biggest "WOW." The immediate countryside is stunning coupled with the local flora and fauna. Nearby villages provide all that is required. Will we be returning? Definitely.

  Thank you for the fantastic feedback Mark, it was lovely to meet you both. We are delighted that you had such a good stay and will look forward to welcoming you back. Property Owner

• "Location, location location."

  We were the first people to stay in this newly-refurbished property and found the location to be superb. Within easy reach of Skipton and Grassington by car and with walks in both directions along the river Wharfe along the Dales Way towards Burnsall and Appletreewick (and the Craven Arms pub!). The views from the terrace and the sitting room are wonderful. Unfortunately we did not have good enough weather to enjoy the barbecue. The property is well-equipped and warm and the beds are supremely comfortable with high-quality linen. We hope to be able to return some day.

  What a shame the weather was so unpredictable. Glad you enjoyed the area though. Better luck next time. Property Owner
