  How much more can be said. Shiers Farmhouse is well-equipped, spacious and comfortable with a very home-like feel which is so important. It is very well located for visiting local sites and great walks. Thank you and we look forward to our next stay.

  Thank you for your positive feedback. I am so glad you enjoyed your stay, you are a regular to the house and I very much look forward to welcoming you back again. Property Owner

• "This is a lovely, cosy cottage."

  It was really beautifully clean on arrival, and had all the amenities needed for a comfortable stay. I have some mobility issues, and had no issues getting around the cottage, and also found that the downstairs shower room was ideal. The cottage is also really well situated, with lots to do right on the doorstep. Will definitely be back.

  Thank you for your lovely feedback, I am so glad you enjoyed your holiday. I look forward to welcoming you back. Property Owner

• "Perfect holiday cottage, the cottage was spacious and felt homely and welcoming."

  It was super clean and had everything we needed. We used it as a base to get ready for my wedding in Grassington and it was in the perfect spot and we couldn’t have asked for more.

  Very happy to hear, thank you for your feedback Megan. Congratulations on your wedding, I hope you will be very happy - and return to Shiers Farmhouse! Property Owner

• "We had a wonderful stay in this beautiful cottage, what a special place."

  Very comfortable and a great location for exploring the Dales, whilst being close to the conveniences of Skipton. Thank you, we hope to return for another stay next year.

  Thank you for your positive feedback, I am really pleased to hear you enjoyed your holiday in lovely old Shiers Farmhouse, full of charm and quirks; some people love them others not. It's good to hear how much you enjoyed it. Property Owner

• "The property is ideally placed for exploring the dales and the fittings were excellent - the bathrooms and kitchen appliances (super new cooker) very good."

  The general ambiance was good with a lovely back garden to sit and enjoy the wildlife. However we did have concerns about clothes storage and the kitchen utensils. The former consisted of one hanging frame and the latter was a pot pouri of antiquated cutlery and crockery - is was difficult to see how these features got past Sykes' quality assurance measures. Also the cleaning and maintenance products were sparce. This parsimony was reflected in the 'welcome pack' which would have cost around £1 so we did not really feel that welcome, especially given the price of rental.

  Thank you for your feedback, it is of course disappointing when guests have a negative experience but I do very much appreciate you taking the time to write with your comments. I always listen to feedback and am in the process of making significant changes. I hope 'when' you come again you will see a difference. Property Owner

• "We enjoyed our stay in this traditional Dales farmhouse."

  We checked around carefully before we left to ensure all should be as we found it but must apologise for not emptying the kitchen waste bin. We completely overlooked it! It was lovely waking up each morning, drawing back the curtains and seeing the variety of birds on the bushes in the back garden. The property is well placed for exploring the Dales and is quite close to two well provisioned shops and a number of places to eat. The living room is on the dark side and could benefit from additional lighting as has been done with the equally darkish farmhouse we are currently in, which makes it cheerful and snug. We appreciated the welcome carton of milk and pack of biscuits. The beds were very comfortable and the property is well appointed. .

  Thank you for your positive feedback. I am so glad to hear you enjoyed your stay at Shiers Farmhouse and found it comfortable. I note your comment about the lighting and will add some extra lights. Property Owner

  Spacious cottage with a lovely garden.

  Thank you for your feedback, I understand one of the garden chairs was broken and I apologise that it was not brought to my attention sooner. I have now bought four new garden chairs. Property Owner

• "The cottage was lovely, only let down by the garden seating, one of the four chairs was broken, so we couldn’t all sit out together."

  Would have liked to have known about the steps in the kitchen and the staircase before we went as one of our party has mobility issues, maybe pics on the listing, but we still had a lovely holiday in this cottage and the area is beautiful, would recommend

  We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the cottage. Location and comfort of property was absolutely spot on. Perhaps another reading lamp in the main bedroom would be good as only one by the bed.

• "We enjoyed our stay in the farmhouse."

  It was reasonably comfortable although the bed in the largest room was a little unsupportive. Having said that though, the house is spacious with lovely bathrooms and a well-stocked kitchen making it ideal for a family get together. If you want to use the stove in the living room it’s necessary to buy logs. The house is well situated with many walks and close to many other picturesque villages in the Dales.

  Thank you for your feedback, I am sorry to hear you found it only reasonably comfortable. The sitting room sofas are certainly comfortable and the log fire makes it a warm and cosy room. Perhaps it was simply that the mattress in the main bedroom was a little worn. I have ordered a new mattress. If you book again, I'm sure you will find the bed much more comfortable. I do appreciated feedback and always try to respond to make improvements. Property Owner

• "Very comfortable cottage in a lovely are of the Yorkshire Dales."

  Beds were very comfortable and the rooms were adequately furnished. The kitchen had everything we needed with a dishwasher and washer/dryer. Two updated bathrooms were very nice. Only problem we had was with the heating system. It could have stayed on a bit longer during the day and come on a bit earlier in the morning. Would recommend and would stay here again

  Thank you for your feedback, I'm glad you enjoyed your stay and found the house comfortable. I will adjust the heating to come on earlier, it is helpful to have your feedback. Property Owner

• "This is almost certainly the nicest cottage that we have stayed in over the years, and is very good value."

  It is a spacious, beautiful and very comfortable home, with everything you need and more. Wonderful walks and sights as soon as you step out of the door. Spectacular scenery wherever you look and a short drive away are miraculous places, such as Malham Cove and Tarn. We wish we could have stayed longer, it was brilliant. We had a chance meeting with Dawn, Shier’s housekeeper, who was lovely, warm and welcoming.

  Thank you so much, it is so nice to receive such positive feedback. Dawn and I work really hard to make the guests holiday a happy one. Property Owner

  Cooker needs attention, grill didn’t work. Heating timings in the lounge could do with being reviewed. However the heating did come back on quickly when the thermostat was adjusted.

• "Some areas of the kitchen we not properly cleaned, for example the cooker hood was covered in a layer of grease and there were numerous cobwebs here and there."

  The high chair needed a good scrub as well for the baby. What was most unfortunate was there were workmen right outside the property as we arrived, digging holes and putting in a new water pipe. This went on all week, so we had noise and problems getting in and out and parking our cars. We appreciated that this was unexpected by the owner, but in hindsight, had we known, we would certainly not have booked this cottage. Although some areas of the cottage and rear garden were nice, we all agreed that we wouldn't return for another stay, despite the workmen.

• "I loved the peace and stillness of this old stone cottage, with its thick walls keeping out anxieties about the Co-Vid."

  The peace and quiet of the location was a joy. Also loved the quirky old furniture. I do think however, that potential visitors should be aware that as the cottage is very old, they may find some things difficult - the main one for us was the heating. It took us quite a while to work out how to keep the cottage as warm as we would like. NB the caretaker was very helpful in this regard as was the owner who remotely organised a heating engineer the same day we mentioned a problem. It's not that it doesn't work, more that with the walls being so thick and there being two different heating systems, it took some getting used to. A further point is that the stairs are a little uneven which is again due to the building's age, but could be a problem if visitors had mobility problems. Overall, I would describe this as a home full of charm and peaceful atmosphere.

• "The written directions to get to the property will benefit from a review; and suggest "at left had bend, heading towards Grassington; on leaving Cracoe, turn right onto single track lane."

  Where lane bends slight right, turn left towards farm and seasonal campsite. Shiers farm house is up a short shared drive, on the right before the farm gate.

• "In light of covid and the extra time needed to clean the cottage I would have expected the cottage to be spotless, but it was not."

  I had to clean the fridge freezer and the kitchen table. There was food and crumbs found down side of the sofa, this was found as we cleaned the cottage before we left. The cottage is a lovely and in a great location but spoilt by poor cleanliness and old and well used equipment , such as cups, serving dishes and cooking trays.
