  Could you tell me when Sykes last visited this property for yous to claim it is a 4 star property.

  Out of coutesy i emailed the landlord before I replied to your request for a review. My contact number is This is the Email i have sent to the landlord 5 days ago without response. Arriving at the cottage we came into a lovely spacious and comfortable first floor . The small lobby had a dog bowl and towels that was very pleasing for our dog Poppy. The kitchen was spotless with all the updated mod cons anyone could wish for. A bottle of red wine from the owners was a lovely touch. A nice dining table to eat from was also amust. Entering the spacious spottless sitting room found a very comfortable area where you could sit and relax with TV and internet connection which was excellent. However it goes very quickly downhill when going downstairs to the Bedrooms and Bathrooms. Your senses were blasted by lots of plug in airfreshners, reed defusers and random smellies and a plethara of disposable moisture de humiders. Unfortunitly this could not come close to masking the smell of damp. Undetered we ventured downstairs to find nice beds and bedrooms and well appointed spotless bathrooms and shower. Together with lovely clean fresh towels. Trying not to let the smell of damp spoil things we went for a walk and a bite to eat which was more than pleasant. The next morning found the sheets feeling dampish and the overwheming stench of damp. After 2 days our clothes in the wardrobes and the drawers smelt damp and mouldy thus we brought our clothes upstairs and put them all on the kitchen table. We tried another night in bed but the smell of damp became too overwhelming. We managed another night on the sofa but we had enough on the Tuesday morning and we returned home instead of coming home on the Friday which we had paid for.

  We spent a wonderful few days at Thornsgill Cottage last week. It was such a cosy, relaxing ‘home from home’, with all that we needed for a great stay. We were also impressed by how clean and tidy it was on arrival. The cottage was very dog-friendly, with great walks literally just on the doorstep. There was also a lockable garage for bikes and a utility room for drying clothes after a walk. The cottage was very well located in the beautiful village of Askrigg. We were within easy walking distance (only a few minutes) of a well-stocked village shop, the BakeWell cafe (which sold delicious cakes, pies and also easy suppers to cook at home too) and three great pubs. Dinner at the King’s Arms was a particular highlight, with roast lamb from a farm just down the road and a host of other locally sourced ingredients. All in all, a fabulous stay. We’ll be back!

  I have been a repeat visitor to the gorgeous Thornsgill Cottage. The log burner makes it cosy in winter, just perfect for retreating to a comfy sofa with a large glass of wine after a long walk in the hills. It has everything you need if you want to cook but frankly it would be a shame to miss out on the wonderful local pubs which are only a hop, skip and a jump away. It’s also been brilliant to be able to bring my dog to the cottage - the only downside to this is you then have absolutely no excuse not get get up and get out onto the hills - a hard prospect to contemplate when tucked up all snug in one of the extremely comfortable beds.

  The cottage itself was very nice and comfortable and the in good order.

  The general information and recommendations left by the owner were very good and helpful and we found the cottage generally well maintained and comfortable. The local pub was welcoming and pleasant. However, although we enjoyed our stay in the property we were unable to use the television as the sound quality on the set was so bad we could not use it. We tried adjustment but were unable to rectify the problem. After spending a day walking and exploring the the Dales it was disappointing not to be able to relax and watch some TV in the evenings. The TV set is in need of replacement or over hall.

• The Bott family - Easter 2017 - Verified booking

  We stayed as 2 families and a dog at Thornsgill Cottage for Easter and had the most wonderful and cosy time, walking, chilling and entertaining ourselves in the close-by pubs of Askrigg. The cottage itself is perfectly equipped with everything you could wish for in a Yorkshire retreat. It’s warm, loads of hot water, an awesome real fire and very comfortable bedrooms - You really can kick back and switch off here. We did some fantastic walking by the river or up on the hills, with great pubs in nearby villages to use as destinations or fuel stops Fantastic stay, we’ll be back there in a heartbeat.
