  • "Wow what an amazing stay in Loft Cottage."

    Code was sent in advance for key collection. Door a bit stiff but managed to get in. Parked outside then moved car to where the garage is. Hot tub was beautiful - heated to 40 degrees very spacious for 5 people. Lovely clean cottage - welcome pack of milk, butter, biscuits and bread - gorgeous touch. Spacious fridge and freezer - dish washer, microwave and oven with touch screen hob. (Worked it out eventually). Beds were clean and very comfy. The cottage was lovely and warm. Try the pubs in bedale market place - great little cottage for a weekend stay.

  • "Very comfortable stay."

    Although you are next to the road there is very little noise problem. And as there is no parking space with this cottage it is not a problem as there is plenty of safe space round the village green etc. although it was a bit of a pain unloading and loading the car. Overall a very good stay in a beautiful village.

  • "Had a lovely stay just a couple of things to mention the oven button was loose the buttons on the extractor come flying out when you press them the door locks are a bit of a nightmare to open not good if they was a fire & the jet covers on the hot tub blow out on two of them when you turn the jets on ."

    Oily mention them so they can get sorted would definitely stay again

  • "Lovely stay, lovely area!"

    Hot tub was amazing Complimentary food left was so nice! One issue we had was the small bed was broken which we didn’t realise until the next day and my sister who slept on it (luckily she’s very petite) woke with a bad back and we realised the beds collapsed! We just thought it was a very soft mattress! So that needs replacing! As my sister had to sleep in with my mum the next night! Also could do with not having the noisy boiler in the main bedroom! Which I appreciate isn’t an easy fix! Apart from that we had a great stay.

  • "Sofa very comfortable, WiFi good,back garden n furniture good, shower good Cottage comfortable for three crowded with us four, some road noise, hot tub at front of property has fence around but not totally private."

    Take your own pillows for comfort. Parking is 100 metres from property but could always park. Hot tub maintenance man was great.

  • "We really enjoyed our stay, please see our pros and cons to help other guests :) Cons; Hot tub is on the front of the cottage, in a shared garden."

    This is fairly private but it’s not ideal for dog owners due to them not being able to roam free around the shared garden. The seating area in the back garden has no padding or comforts. All bedding + towels are white, again not ideal for a dog friendly property. Although we were very grateful for the welcome package we received, this is the first stay we have been on where theres been nothing catered to the dogs. Local pub is very rough, limited beer selection + a handful of basic spirits. Not very welcoming to ‘tourists’ which is a shame as we usually fall in love with the local pub Pros; Lovely location, very close to Bedale for some sweet nick nack shopping. Gorgeous bakeries! Loads of amazing local walks to do, we were sad our stay wasn’t longer. Welcome pack included eggs, bacon, bread and some crisps - very grateful!! Sofa and the bed we stayed in were very comfy. Wifi is very good which is rare usually for Sykes. Although the listing says you can hear the main road, we didn’t get any noise within the property which is a bonus!! Parking isn’t as far away as it looks Hot tub was clean and always a great temperature Kitchen is a decent size (not enough chairs for the amount of guests the property can hold though) Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would return should it be more dog friendly next time. Great location for keen hikers like ourselves :)

  • "Lovely little cottage , but really need a better contact system as the number left in the cottage nobody replies to ?"

    We left several messages re toilet blocked ... we had to drive to Bedale to get some toilet unblocker, no garden furniture cushions, no way of getting into the cleaning cupboard and unclear how to use the dishwasher as most of the writing rubbed off . They're probably are only minor issues but did spoil our stay in this lovely place .

  • "Absolutely lovely would definitely recommend this accommodation."

    Only thing not quite right for us bath was very slippy when in shower unsure would suit older person Would have been easier if shower was separate from the bath.

St Edmunds Cottages

Nestled in the peaceful village of Crakehall in the lower Yorkshire Dales, these cottages offer a serene destination for a relaxing break. From the outside, these pretty properties are aesthetically pleasing with stone frontages, window frames painted a tasteful mint green, and well-kept gardens with views over Bedale Beck. Inside, the cottages are a well-balanced mix of contemporary design and period features, with modern kitchens and bathrooms intermingling with exposed beams and original windows. The décor is neutral throughout with elegant splashes of colour complementing certain rooms. Despite the rural location, the properties are well connected with each offering WiFi and top-of-the-range Smart TVs. The village of Crakehall is regarded by many as one of the prettiest in the Yorkshire Dales, featuring a 5-acre green surrounded by Sycamore and lime trees, populated by stone-built cottages, some of which dating back as far as the 1600’s. It is split into two by a tributary of the River Swale, Bedale Beck, forming Little Crakehall and Great Crakehall. The complex of holiday cottages and their gardens overlook both the bridge and the beck, as well as the A684 road, which provides part of the Tour de Yorkshire route. The village is close to the market town of Bedale with its selection of shops and pubs, as well as museum and weekly market. If walking is more your thing there are plenty of picturesque walking routes in the vicinity, especially in the beautiful valleys of the Yorkshire Dales.
