Sustonica, the first global sustainability standard for holiday lets.
Our aim is to create lasting holiday memories and we intend to do so both responsibly and sustainably.
To deliver on this we've set out a number of environmental and social pledges which help to focus our efforts;
you can read more about them in our Impact Report.
This is why we've partnered with Sustonica, the first global certification for holiday lets,
to support our owners to be more sustainable.
The Sustonica certification focuses on four key areas: energy conservation, water conservation,
waste reduction and promoting inclusiveness. They are on a mission to become the most widely
recognised sustainability standard for holiday rentals and a catalyst to reduce emissions of holiday
lets and influence guests to reduce their own household consumption too.
Properties that display the Sustonica badge have successfully passed the criteria,
which align with the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the Global Sustainable Tourism Council standards,
and their owner has made a commitment to look after our planet as well as you.

"Absolutely beautifully presented and equipped cottage tucked peacefully away off a busy high street which provided all our needs."
The layout suited us extremely well, with easy car parking directly outside. The French doors off the delightful kitchen lead to a large, safe outdoor space ideal for our cockerpoo, or to sit outside when the days get warmer, perhaps..

In lounge no clock or waste bin. Could do with 2 tvs one in main bedroom would be ideal.Beer mats needed in bedrooms. Too small the table in lounge a proper coffee table mat required. In kitchen double waste bin with no instruction of which rubbish to put in each compartment.

Facilities were good and very clean with thoughtful touches from the owners. Very comfortable. The location is central for the south side of the dales - a great base for the week.

"We enjoyed our week at April Cottage which has been finished to a high standard and had a nice homely atmosphere."
The spacious patio area was very relaxing having privacy by tasteful fencing and well tended shrubs and planters. There were plenty of nearby places to eat out and vegan and gluten free options were catered for. There was so much to see and do in the area and the scenery while travelling was stunning.

"Lovely cosy cottage."
Lots to do in the area only problem was finding it ! Could do with better instructions in Cross Hills. We had read in a review it was near the co op and opposite a butchers. So we parked in the co op and went to find it on foot first as traffic was very busy. Once we knew where it was everything was perfect.

"This was our first holiday with our young whippet dog."
We found the cottage so comfortable that from the first day we all were relaxed. Great place to reach all attractions/sites to visit. Excellent lay out of the property, we only ever used the back doors, allowed us easier access with the dog. This was so we could clean the dogs feet and, remove our outdoor shoes before going into the cottage, only right. All appliances had easy clear instructions, full utensils and crockery supplied. We found the owner wonderful, happy to answer any questions. Visitors must try the local butcher over the road and Gallaghers micro pub, both excellent. We will definitely look to go back, could highly rate this enough.

"A well proportioned cottage with good facilities within the property."
It was clean and we found the kitchen good with adequate utensils. Couldn't work out how to load a tablet into the dishwasher so we never used it. Found the living room a bit dark, probably due to the darker furniture and blinds. Found the quilt a bit heavy.

Ideal for exploring the surrounding area. Good walks nearby.
Excellent instructions from the owner on how to find it as it is tucked away off the main road. Very quiet although central.
Could have used more crockery to make full use of the dishwasher but this is a minor point.
Only negative was that the shower tray wasn't emptying properly as the plughole was blocked and clearly in need of cleaning. I had to fish a load of hair and gunk out by hand. I did let the owner know so hopefully this will be remedied for future guests.

A real home from home. The beds are extremely comfortable so got a great night's sleep. Great to have off road parking and the garden area was a fantastic bonus, although the weather prevented us from making full use, throwing open the patio doors made the kitchen really bright and airy. Log Fire was lovely and warm, as was the shower. One suggestion, nesting coffee tables wouldn't go a miss to prevent 'minor domestics' on where to put your wine glass whilst relaxing in the Lounge. One of the best cottages I've stayed in, would definitely book there again and highly recommend it to anyone looking to visit The Dales.

Clean, modern and comfortable amenities and a lovely sunny private garden. We didn’t realise it was so near the main street however it wasn’t too much of a problem for road noise etc. Good location for access to visitor attractions in the area. The only reason we didn’t give it five stars was because we found the bed and pillows to be too firm, provision of some softer pillows as an alternative would’ve been great.
