"Very nice cottage in a beautiful location, Bed very comfortable."
Heating set to ambient temperature, if it had been freezing outside may have struggled to keep warm. Log burner great but could do with enough wood to last the week, happy to pay extra to cover the cost. Stayed in many cottages in upper wharfedale over the past thirty years and this rates as one of the best. Thanks for a lovely holiday.
Thank you so much for the marvellous review! We are upgrading the heating in the New Year so hopefully resolving any concerns over being warm. Glad you had a lovely holiday and hope you’ll visit us again one day. Property Owner

"Great location for walking in a quiet village with great pubs."
The cottage was comfortable, especially the bed, and warm. We didn’t give it 5 stars because kitchen equipment is basic (more mugs needed, bare minimum of sharp knives and utensils) and no hairdryer. Also if it had been wet there’s nowhere to take off muddy boots and wet kit without getting the kitchen wet and muddy. It was a great size for 2 of us and a small dog. You would struggle with 6 people especially in the kitchen/dining. A bench outside for de-booting would be a lovely addition. The 2nd floor bathroom night storage heater didn’t work.
Thanks for your feedback. We've just ordered a knife block and there was a hairdryer at the property so will ask the cleaner to check it's still there. The number of mugs etc was as advised by the management company but happy to provide more if that's important to guests. We assume there was enough for you being just a couple. We are also replacing the bathroom heaters with towel rails over the next month. We like your bench suggestion as well. As far as we know we haven't struggled with 6 people occupancy of which there's been a few but thank you for your concern. Property Owner

"Kettlewell is a beautiful village, the accommodation was good however there was an infestation of woodlice which was very off putting."
The barn was perfectly formed, very comfortable with everything provided you would need. We had a great little holiday.
Thank you for your complimentary feedback. The woodlice are harmless (we just brush them up) and many properties in the village have them. However we will look to see if we can get professional assistance with this. Property Owner

"Family of 2 adults and 2 children with 2 dogs."
Battery Barn was lovely, very homely. Thank you for the cake, it’s was delicious. Kitchen was well equipped although a grill rack would be a good addition. Sofas were very comfortable and the smart TV great for Netflix. The beds were all amazing with the main bed being the best we’ve ever slept on! The court yard was great to sit in, it was lovely weather during our stay, a parasol would’ve been really handy but we improvised with an umbrella! The barn is in a fabulous location for walks and pubs. We didn’t move the car for the whole stay. Would thoroughly recommend Battery Barn to anyone.
Wow. Thank you so much. We’ll get the items you suggest! Thanks for the feedback. Property Owner

Very cosy, comfortable and we had everything we needed. The delicious cake you left for us was a lovely surprise. Close proximity to the village. We highly recommend it and would love to come back again.

About the location
KETTLEWELL
Grassington 7 miles; Skipton 14 miles.
Nestling at the foot of Great Whernside, near the head of Upper Wharfedale, this idyllic village makes the perfect place from which to explore the wonderful scenery and pretty villages of this magnificent Dale. Much of Upper Wharfedale is National Trust owned - an indication of the beauty of its classic countryside, with dry-stone walls and barns, important flower-rich hay meadows and valley side woodland. Undoubtedly, this is one of the best walking and mountain biking areas in the Dales, with The Dales Way passing nearby. The village itself lying on the banks of the River Wharfe is a real delight with traditional built stone cottages, three pubs, a Post Office, speciality shops and a hotel. No surprise that the hit movie Calendar Girls was filmed here and in other locations throughout the area. An excellent base for enjoying the famous Dales, historic market towns, caves and waterfalls of this magical area.
