A lovely short break

My wife and I had a very enjoyable long weekend stay at this lovely cottage (Friday - Monday). The cottage is very well appointed, and the kitchen has everything you could possibly need. The village is nice and quiet, and the cottage is set right back from the main road that passes by the village.The local pub is only a short walk away and it serves delicious food. Booking a table is recommended.We stayed during a very hot spell, and the only improvement would have been if there had been an umbrella for the garden table to provide some shade. We would certainly book again!

Lovely Dales accommodation

A spacious, welcoming, tasteful and convenient place to stay in a hamlet in Bishopdale in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales. Shower room and toilet downstairs with lovely under-floor heating; bedroom (with wash-stand), kitchen and sitting room upstairs with the outside entrance up a flight of stone steps. Easy off-street parking. From here you walk past a few houses to any of several public footpaths which lead you onto an open moorside, or valley walk, within a couple of minutes. The beauty of the surrounding area and indeed of the entire Yorkshire Dales National Park cannot be conveyed by mere words or even by photographs - you need to be in it to appreciate it. We had a lovely stay.

Fabulous cottage in a perfect location

We stayed at Westburn Cottage for a week in early July. The cottage is a perfect size for two people and was a great base to explore the Dales. The kitchen was well equipped and the whole cottage was fitted out to a high standard. The outdoor space was a lovely spot to relax. We really enjoyed our week staying here and would love to return to both the Dales and the cottage.

We enjoyed the wonderful renovated cottage. Everything you need you'll find. It is central to all the attractions of the national park and we loved to hike in the area. If you have a question, the owner will help you. Thank you for the great time we had!

Lovely cottage

We stayed for two weeks but could have quite happily stayed longer. Phil has had a great eye for detail when planning the cottage. Everything we needed was to hand and it was all together very comfortable. It’s also ideally suited for exploring the Dales and there are a variety of lovely walks straight from the door. We will definitely be returning.

Comfortable with first class facilities

Being at the end of a one mile cul-de-sac the amount of traffic in a day is neglible-very peaceful. I found the village a good centre for bike rides in all directions. On rest days I had a ride on the Wensleydale Railway and a visit to Fountains Abbey. I certainly look to make a repeat booking next year.

Cottage in the beautiful Wensleydale

Wonderful location. Very well equipped cottage. Fabulous views in a small quiet hamlet A lovely cottage to come back too after a day out. This is a lovely place for a wonderful relaxing break. Would recommend the cottage and area without hesitation. The booking was made for us by our son who said Phil the owner was great to deal with nothing too much trouble .We would concur with this as we met him whilst there . Thank you Phil .

Enjoyable stay in Newbiggin

Lovely quite secluded location, very surprised how quiet and peaceful this location is. Cottage compact but functional. Must say not suitable for people who have issues with stairs which is my only critical comment. Lots of firewood supplied. Lovely little garden outback. Good supply reading material. Nearby pub very good. We would absolutely rent this cottage again if we every came back.

What a delightful cottage, it has everything you could possibly need. The log burner is a treat, makes it so cosy. Great view out the windows and a lovely area to sit outside. A delightful village with very friendly residents. What made it better is that my phone signal wasn’t great do meant no one could get hold of me…..another treat! Fabulous area to walk and travel around if you want go a bit further (Fabulous base). Will definitely be back.

Stunning views and a home away from home!

We thoroughly enjoyed our 4 nights stay. It was a beautiful property with all the amenities you could need. Cozy wood burning stove, well equipped kitchen, very comfortable bed, very nice shower room with electric heat. The cottage is on a little quiet lane off the main road with no thru traffic so extremely quiet. The view of the valley from the backyard patio is amazing. The VRBO pictures are actual views from the cottage. We had no idea how nice this would be for such a great price! Footpaths very close to doorstep and so close to Aysgarth Falls. Very lovely !!

Fantastic house

This converted barn has everything you could wish for and more. Lovely living room, with a fireplace that can be turned on when it is cold outside. The windows are each a painting with picturesque views. The kitchen is fully equipped. The bedroom also has the same view at the landscape. I think the bed had the best mattress of our holiday. Shower and toilet are downstairs, where we were positively surprised by the water pressure. The outside seating area made the house complete. The host was more than helpful, thank you Phil. I would recommend this house if you are looking for a quit place to stay. From here you can easily explore the Yorkshire Dales.

Quirky yet minimalist, traditional outer/modern inner, comfy, cosy, beautiful location

We loved staying here! Kitchen had everything, inc. a cafetière, salt & pepper grinders, dedicated drawer of superbly sharp knives(!) & a resident kitchen spider who earnt her keep by catching a mosquito! The bed is huge - could easily fit 3 people! (Duvet cover is a bit noisy/rustles like taffeta when it moves, so light sleepers with partners prone to nocturnal limb flailing might be kept awake by this. The antique wardrobe was ace - I enjoyed the labelled shelves based on sartorial stylings of yesteryear! Loads of books, some DVDs, sofa was clean and comfy with a pouffe for weary legs, dimmer lights were appreciated. Mobile signal was fair for Three but virtually nothing for O2, although can easily hook up to WiFi calling; smart TV has a free HDMI port for Chromecast/similar, & there's a Blu-ray player (lucky as we bought a couple in a charity shop in Leyburn). Parking was fine, had to park right up against the barn door so that next door could get in too, but unless you have a van it won't be a problem for most. We felt the TV was likely very audible to the family in the adjoining property (another holiday let); we could hear their movements so I'm sure they could hear us We heard noisy doors/stairs from next door, and the presumed internal adjoining door didn't appear to have soundproofing (original oak door with a small gap underneath) so we felt bad watching films at night as they had little kids. TV is on the adjoining wall and sofa is against the opposite wall
