Amazing retreat

Glorious. No other word. Felt like singing The Hills Are Alive. Thanks for this amazing memory.

Perfect location

This property was very clean and comfortable. It was ideally suited in a lovely little town with all the amenities but with a small town feel. It is also located in the heart of the Dales and is a short drive to many walking trails and points of interest. The host was fantastic. There was a welcome basket when we arrived and the response rate with any correspondence was instant. The host made us feel very welcome and the property felt very homely. It did feel very much like a home away from home. We would definitely stay here again.

Loved our stay in Ripley!

We stayed in Ripley for a week. It was a great location for touring about (Harrogate, York, Grassington, Bolton Abbey, Fountains Abbey and, of course, Ripley). The house was perfect and accurately reflected the photos. Spacious, clean, beautifully decorated, with all the essentials we needed. Louise responded quickly to my enquires. We were blessed with good weather and got to enjoy the private yard at the end of our days’ sightseeing. Essentials such as dishes, glasses, toilet paper, dishwasher tabs, etc were all provided.

Restful Retreat

Turning into the drive, we were met with daffodils, sheep and lambs - calm, relaxing. Then, entering the cottage we were met with fresh scones and a lovely welcome hamper. After a day out exploring we enjoyed sitting by the log burner with a glass of wine. There are easy walks from the door, convenient for quality shops in Harrogate with many historic sites nearby. Andy and Sue were excellent hosts, keen to ensure we had everything we needed. Will hopefully return on future visits from Canada.

WOW! What a stay!

We can't say enough about our stay at this absolutely charming cottage near Brearton. We were so pleased by the generous welcome package and even more so by the great instuction book of things to see and do - including a spectacular cross-country hike to the fabulous local pub (highly recommended for Sunday Roast!). A simply picture perfect stay- we will be back next time we are overseas. Mike, Kerri and Aidan - Ottawa, Canada
