Fab stay in Carlton

Very very comfortable with everything you need to cook (handy as there’s only the lovely pub at hand and no shop nearby). Heating works a treat and it’s a relaxing and welcoming place to return to after yet another amazing walk. The generous welcome pack goodies very much appreciated! Thanks again.

Carlton Old Hall

Beautiful home, excellently equipped and cared for. Great communication from the owners. The walks from the front made for wonderful countryside explorations. Local amenities nearby and nature at its best here and not far from more spectacular views of the Yorkshire Dales. Children loved the animals nearby the lambs. A very happy restful enjoyable stay.

Cosy cottage in a fantastic location

Great little cottage it was the perfect size for the two of us to see in the New Year. Spotlessly clean, lovely log burner, kitchen with all the things you need, just a short walk to the village pubs, shop and fabulous deli. The bed was really comfortable, fabulous quality bedding and the shower in the bathroom was amazing. This cosy cottage is positioned perfectly for short walks and longer hikes and everyone you meet is really friendly. No issues with finding somewhere to park our car on a very busy period in the village as everyone was courteous and considerate and we were lucky enough to be outside the cottage a few times. If you’re thinking of a break in Askrigg we would really recommend The Roost.

Briar Cottage in Middleham in the Yorkshire Dales

Premier Host

A lovely cottage in the heart of Middleham

3 adults staying for a short break. Comfy beds, everything we needed (dishwasher would have been great but no idea where it could have fitted in). It’s a compact cottage but we didn’t feel we were getting in easy other’s way. The location was so good as we looked out over the castle and it was only a short walk to several good pubs -we had an excellent Sunday lunch at The Tack Room and staff were so friendly -plus great beer-in the Richard 111 pub. Loved watching the horses going past on their way to and from the gallops. Lots of lovely walking done as the weather was kind to us. We would stay here again without a doubt.

The best in Buckden!

What an amazing find! we were walking the dales way and had walked from Appetreewick that day, we arrived later than expected. The snug was perfect. checking in was simple and made really easy with great communication. what a lovely property, really well decorated, warm and super clean. really appreciated the crumpets and fruit and loved the bed what a treat after such a tiring day. So happy we booked this instead of the buck inn across the road, we had a meal in there which was fine but the place is cold and lacked any personality, I was so happy to stay in our snug! highly recommended

Stunning location

The property was spacious and set in a stunning, quiet location. The view from the patio was breathtaking. It was very well equipped with everything you may need and more. The pool table was a bonus. We visited Bolton Castle and Forbidden Corner. Both were great family fun days out. We even travelled on the North Yorkshire Moors steam Railway and visited Aysgarth Falls. The owner was very helpful and answered our queries promptly. They kindly left chocolate and wine for us to celebrate my husband’s 70th. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and look forward to returning.
