We had a lovely stay here and would happily return. The cottage was cosy, comfortable and in a brilliant location for exploring the Yorkshire Dales, with plenty of beautiful walks, waterfalls and villages nearby. It was also the perfect place to come back to after a day out exploring, especially with the fire lit on the colder evenings!The bed was incredibly comfortable and the cottage had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. We also appreciated how peaceful and quiet the area was, whilst still being within easy reach of places to visit.Harvey Dog thoroughly enjoyed himself too and loved all the new sights and smells! Overall, a really lovely base for a Dales break and exactly the sort of place that helps you properly switch off and recharge.

Our first visit to Yorkshire Dales won’t be our last. The cottage was lovely and the village of Stainforth offers superb walk without needing to get in the car. Nearby Settle has all you need and the various places we visited were stunning. Viv was great and cottage exactly as described. We recommend highly 👍

Excellent Cottage In A Wonderful Location

This is a really lovely, well equipped, cottage. It has everything you need including a large wood burner with a plentiful supply of logs. The photos don’t show the shower over the bath which is spacious and powerful. The location is perfect to explore the Dales with walks from the door and easy access to places like Malham Cove, Ribblehead Viaduct. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope to visit again.

What a lovely warm and welcoming cottage. A great base to discover what the Yorkshire Dales has to offer. Settle only minutes down the road if you need anything. So many walks on your doorstep. Viv should be very proud of her cottage. We look forward to visiting again soon.

Dales break

A comfortable and well equipped cottage in a good location for exploring the Yorkshire Dales. Stainforth has local walks and is within easy reach of Settle. The owner was friendly when we had a question. The log fire looks cosy, although we didn’t need to use it.

Great short break

Booked this last minute short break with our two dogs. The cottage is very cosy and well equipped in a lovely quiet village location. The weather was dry but cold so the log burner was very welcoming when we got back from a long walk ! There is a very nice local pub serving good food and there are some good walks on the doorstep. Settle is only a short drive (5 min) with a good selection of pubs, restaurants and shops if needed. Thank you !

Comfortable & welcoming

A beautiful area with lots of fantastic walks and waterfalls, many accessible right from the doorstep. Situated in a pretty village with a good pub just around the corner and Stainforth Falls on the other side of the main road, the cottage was comfortable and had everything we needed; our girls particularly enjoyed 'their' space in the attic room! Vivienne was very welcoming and keen to ensure everything was in working order for us. Thank you!

Peaceful Break

Great stay in Stainforth. Perfect location for both couples or families. Very clean, loads of room, and great if you’ve got a dog as the garden is enclosed both front and back. Even though we visited in a July we made use of the log burner, which was fabulous - so cosy! This cottage is equipped with everything. You won’t want for anything. Great walks straight from the door and only a short drive to others. This was our first exploration of the Dales, and we were absolutely converted. Thanks Vivienne for your attention to detail at the cottage. I’m sure we’ll visit again x

Nice cottage in lovely village

We had a great week staying here. The cottage itself is cosy, well-equipped and ideally situated in the lovely village of Stainforth. The log burner in the living room makes it very inviting and cosy, while the addition of the loft room gives that bit of extra space. There are fab walks from the door - either to Catrigg Force or Stainforth Force waterfalls or down the riverside towards Settle. It is also within touching distance of Pen Y Ghent, Ribblehead Viaduct and other iconic Dales walks. All the family and our dog loved it. We even got a bit of snow for some sledging in a nearby farmers' field. The pub in the village two minutes' walk away is welcoming and serves excellent food. Owner Viv was always very helpful and I would wholeheartedly recommend the cottage. We hope to visit again soon.

Home fromm Home.

The cottage is very comfortable. We particularly liked the coziness of the living room after an afternoon of being the tourist, coming back,closing the curtains and watching TV. The log burner/stove was welcome as our week was rainy and damp so that added to the coziness. The kitchen was well stocked with ample crockery and utensils as well as tea towells. Also lots of pots and pans and glasses. A good supply of towels and the bathroom heat rail was an extra bonus. There are many places to visit within a reasonable distance if you have a car. Also,weather permitting, a great area for walks. Settle is a lovely little town but very short on atms so go well stocked with cash. All in all, a beautiful area. Just wish I'd gone sooner.

A lovely cottage located in the village of Stainforth almost mid-way between Settle and Horton in Ribblesdale, so very convenient for those considering walking the Yorkshire Three Peaks (as we did). Plenty of walking nearby in and around the village as well as at locations such as Malham about 12Km (7 miles) away. There is a pub (open Wednesday to Sunday) just 300m from the cottage which serves food.The cottage has two reasonably sized bedrooms, a modern kitchen equipped with a small dishwasher, washing machine, microwave and cooker. The bathroom has a bath with an electric shower located over the bath. Very clean and comfortable. Although pets are permitted there were no dogs hairs to be found (in other "pet friendly" cottages we have stayed in the presence of dog hairs everywhere has been issue on sofas and chairs). Communication with the host was excellent throughout the booking and checking-in/ out process. Highly recommended and we would definitely go back .
