• "Everything was fine, it was warm and comfortable with great views."

  A really nice property, with lots of wildlife in the area. We saw a pheasant in the garden and quite a few red kites flying overhead. It was well situated for visiting places of interest nearby. The only issue being that the electric fire didn't have a backlight, but worked ok other than that.

• "We had a lovely week exploring the Yorkshire dales, and the weather was excellent."

  We have booked many self catering properties over the years for our holidays, and without doubt Fir Tree Stables is one of the very best. The location is very quiet, very peaceful, and has wonderful views. The cottage is very well maintained, and tastefully decorated, and very comfortable, and clean. Everything needed is provided, and everything works as it should. Our hosts were very warm, friendly and welcoming, and if we are visiting the area again we would book Fir Tree Stables again without a moments hesitation.

• "We found the lodge to be reasonably clean and quite comfortable."

  The beds were comfortable and gave us a good sleep. The lodge is ideally situated for touring the area and has fabulous views. Although we didn’t use it much due to the poor weather, it would have been nice to have a bit grass.

• "We had a lovely stay at Fir Tree stables."

  It was a lovely country location but within good distances of everywhere we needed. The property was as advertised, really cute, clean and comfy. It had everything we needed for the week and we felt very much at home. The hosts were lovely and welcoming when we met them but also completely left us to enjoy our stay. Thanks for a great trip and we’ll definitely be back (when we can stomach another 5.5 hour drive up from Devon

• "Lovely cottage bungalow."

  Warm, comfortable bed, great shower & everything you need in the kitchen. Surrounded by peaceful countryside, plenty of lovely scenic walks from the door. In the months of dark nights it would be difficult to walk to the nearest open pub, which is over 1 mile. However we didn't mind as we incorporated a pub stop & meal into our daily walks. Loved the cottage & the area.

• "I booked a week away hoping to miss the worst of the fireworks with my elderly dog who gets v stressed at loud noises."

  Fir Tree Stables was perfect. Set up high on the hillside of the Dales we were far enough away that noise was minimal. The cottage was cosy and well furnished /equipped and laid out. (The bed was the most comfy I've ever slept in, in a rental!) Lovely views over the Dales with easy access to roads leading to a variety of nearby towns and villages for supplies and several NT properties. A walkers heaven, and many dog friendly pubs/cafes. The hosts are super friendly and welcoming, but not intrusive. They were particularly helpful when I realised I'd lost my phone & help me contact relatives & order a new one. (Thank you both!) Highly recommended & hope to go again.

  The cottage was a good size for two plus a dog. The newly fitted shower room was really nice, the kitchen was very well equipped and the bed was really comfortable. The lane outside is really quiet, we counted about 10 cars that passed the house in the week we were there. Great location near Brimham Rocks. Good local walks. A really enjoyable holiday and we are very glad we went on this holiday

• "This cottage was the most spacious one bedroomed property we have ever stayed in and we have been self catering for over 40 years."

  Although rural and a few miles from the nearest shops, the views were extra ordinary. The local people very welcoming even the local cows came to see my dog Ivy and myself on our walks. (cows/ladies of the meadow/ in their field of course) The weather could not have been better. We found a cafe in Pateley Bridge The Blue Tea pot which sold tea and coffee for 50p a very moorish cuppa it was. Brimham Rocks is a relaxing place to visit ideal for leisurely walks for pets and ourselves. The National Gift shop there is a treasure trove with regular special offers. The ice cream cones there are great value for money and delicious when you can finish them before your pet takes a shine and catches the fallen scoop. Overall a very relaxing week. I would thoroughly recommend this cottage.

  This was the first cottage in the last ten we have hired not to leave out a small welcoming gift,even after phoning them saying we were going to be late on arriving ie 8pm I thought they might have left out some milk a cup full at least so we could have had a cuppa on arrival, one of the reason we booked this cottage was because it stated it had a bath which I was looking forward to as we had ours taken out on getting wet floor, well it did have a bath but couldn't use it as the water ran cold all the time couldn't understand this as the sink beside it the water was very hot when using it , the doggie walks just outside the cottage we couldn't find at all had to walk on the road all the time just a few trivial things and the cottage was excellent
