Beautiful location and gorgeous gardens. Clean cottage with great comfortable beds, and lovely views of the countryside. Welcomed with a lovely sponge cake, fresh flowers and delicious wine. Loved the original artwork in the cottage.Two major elements that affected our stay, that could be corrected with additional descriptions on the listing: 1. Laundry facilities are available, but are in the owner's house and only available when the owner is present on the property, and need to be let in to a private part of the home. The laundry is not freely available within the self catered cottage - difficult when travelling with children and needing to launder clothes on our own schedule.2. Wifi is available, however the speed is better suited for occasional email, not for much more. One of us has remote work and it took ages for any pages to load, forget about your zoom meeting.If you are not needing Wi-Fi or laundry, fantastic!

Excellent Property

The property was everything it said and more. We were in Yorkshire primarily for work, but in our two days off we explored and we entranced by the lovely area. Now we have had a taster, we will come back to visit properly and we will book this property again. Thank you

Lovely short break.

Great property, and great welcome. Had a short break for new year, the property is easy to get to, good parking, and a lovely home from home feel. Comfortable lounge, spacious kitchen, everything you need, and really appreciated a very nice treat of home baked cream sponge cake (extremely good), bread (made top toast), and wine. Thanks so much to the owners.

Idyllic Christmas Break

After deciding to go away for Christmas, I had to narrow it down to somewhere reasonably close to close to home as didn’t want a long drive on Christmas Eve. The Mews, close to Masham, seemed to fit the bill - it turned out to be perfect. A lovely personal welcome from the owner Janet, the Mews was clean, cosy and welcoming. The personal touches of freshly made cream cake, mince pies and chilled Prosecco were most appreciated. Being on the first floor, the views from all the rooms were beautiful and we enjoyed watching the pheasants in the fields. All in all it was an ideal choice and we have no hesitation in recommending it and would certainly consider a return visit in the future.

Wonderful summer holiday

We stayed in this cottage for nearly two weeks in July. The cottage was very clean, enough space for a family of four, well appointed kitchen. The owners are very nice and welcoming, and of course there is the absolutely lovely garden. Our boys (8 and 10) loved playing with the zip wire! There is so much to do in Yorkshire, beautiful countryside and lots of things to do for children. We were all sad that we had to leave.

Holiday let

The cottage and gardens are wonderful, the owners are very helpful and friendly, couldn't fault it. Only thing that was a slight problem is the stairs up to the property, I hadn't noticed that it said first floor, the stairs could cause issues with anyone with mobility problems.

Outstanding Dales cottage

We three men, myself, my bother and my nephew stayed at the Mews for 5 glorious days in June 2023. The accommodations exceeded our expectations in every way. We found every room to be spotless and tidy and not at all snug; and I mean that as the highest compliment. Some previous accommodations in which we have stayed were far to snug for our liking. The Mews is spacious and airy. Our hosts are very kind people. Their gardens are magnificent. Coming from the USA on our fifth visit to North Yorkshire we expected lush gardens but Janet and Robert do an excellent job with their gardens and I appreciated a morning or evening stroll. We would stay there again in a minute. The location offers easy access to Masham and the Dales yet is quiet and peaceful. It was just what we needed. Great job and thank you again for a wonderful stay.

Lovely family holiday

I recently stayed here with my husband and two kids age 5 and 4. The Mews was lovely, with really comfy beds and hotel-standard bedding. The wood burner was really cosy and Janet even baked us a cake and gave us a bottle of wine, which made us feel very welcome. The views from the windows are lovely and you can see pheasants. We were delighted to be able to explore the amazing garden and even have a go on the home-made zip-wire! There is so much to do in the area for families- we barely scraped the surface and would have loved to stay longer. Thanks again to Janet and her husband who were always available if we needed them and were very friendly.

Wonderful Yorkshire

Many thanks to the property owners Janet & Robert for their kind input and the opportunity to stay in accommodation that was more than worthy. We visited many interesting places in this beautiful area on our days out with Masham being the close to home village that was very pleasant with friendly people and good amenities. All in all our visit was perfection and we would return. Regards Joseph & Linda Wigan

The Mews was very comfortable with everything we needed. It's in a lovely area with a nature reserve nearby, and the market town of Masham is well worth a visit, less than 2 miles away. We would definitely recommend a stay here.

A Yorkshire delight.

We rented this property so we could explore Wensleydale, for which it’s an excellent location. A beautiful, peaceful countryside setting, a thoughtfully equipped and very comfortable property and we were encouraged to use and explore the owner’s fabulous garden which is an absolute idyll. Janet is a delightful host. We arrived to fresh cream cake and a bottle of chilled white wine and The Mews is cosy and more spacious than we’d expected. The beds were very comfortable and we had a truly enjoyable week’s stay. Thank you for making us so welcome.

Fantastic accomodation, location and hospitality

We have just had a memorable & wonderful 2 weeks in in this property. The accommodation was perfect - clean, well equipped kitchen, good wifi - very comfortable and relaxing. From Masham we could explore all of the Dales with walks close by well as having Wensleydale and Nedderdale and even the Western edge of North Yorks Moors being convenient. The garden is magical and we relaxed there enjoying the flowers, peace and quiet. Janet and Robert both made us feel welcome and very much at home. Lots of small but important touches such as fresh sweat peas and roses from the Garden in vases. We hope to be back very soon.
