Lovely accommodation. All the mod cons yet with lovely traditional character. Very warm and cosy. The location is great, situated in the very quiet hamlet of Outhgill yet only 5 miles from Kirkby Stephen with it's array of shops & pubs.
Highly recommend the Black Bull at Nateby for it's Sunday lunch.
All in all we thoroughly enjoyed our 5 day stay at 'The Stables'
We really enjoyed our stay in Outhgill. The cottage was lovely, and really well equipped (with more than enough room for the four adults in our party). The cottage is situated in a beautiful location, with numerous walking trails straight from the door! It really is great spot for anyone who enjoys walking, running or cycling. The real highlights for us was visiting the many waterfalls in the area, and having red squirrels visit the garden! Would highly recommend this cottage. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

This is a beautiful part of the country and it means a lot to us when guests love it as much as we do. We do try to create a cosy cottage that has character as well as all modern amenities.
House is very well equipped, very clean and a very pleasant place to stay. Plenty of room for 8 people. The weather was appalling for our stay so our children enjoyed working their way through the plentiful DVD selection!
Perfect accommodation for our holiday exploring the Yorkshire dales with the family, we all loved Forbidden Corner (needs booking in advance); and the Wendslydale Creamery. We also enjoyed numerous walks recomended in the useful information pack and particularly were delighted to discover the little Edwardian rock garden in Aysgarth on the last day.

We are so pleased that Clare and her family enjoyed their stay at The Old Stables. It means a lot to us when our guests love the house and the area as much as we do. We would hope that she will visit again.
All ok but we think that as a two week stay the bedding should have been changed after a week
The only downside was poor internet, and as stated in review lack of bedding change plus grass cutting.

Thanks David. I am glad you enjoyed your stay. The internet isn’t fast, but we find it is adequate for normal searches, downloading papers and using IPlayer.
We did offer to change the sheets and do a clean after a week, but didn’t receive any response. As some guests prefer not to be disturbed during their holiday, we assumed that was your preference.
I agree that the grass was rather long by the time you left and have contacted you to apologise for this. It seems that even though it was cut just a week before you arrived, it must have been a light cut.

Paul and his family were excellent guests. Their communication before the stay was always polite and prompt. They also treated the house the way they should.
