What our customers say about their holidays

  Castlewood Cottage was ideal for us.

  There was ample space, and we all appreciated the tasteful interior decor. The beds were comfortable with towels and linen of good quality. There was plenty of hanging space and hangers. A lot of thought had been put into the finer detaills (not always found in holiday rentals) - hand soap by every sink, large toilet rolls, dishwasher tablets and laundry liquid were supplied. The welcome pack for the humans was a lovely touch, as was the Scooby Snacks doggy chocolate! The double bedroom window had views of the church and castle. For insomniacs, the closeness to the chimes of the church clock were a reminder I didn’t need. The weather was somewhat disappointing for our rare and important family reunion with the Aussies, but the comfort of the cottage and the genuinely warm welcome and great service we received in shops, restaurants, cafes and bars was outstanding. We highly recommend The Woolly Sheep pub and restaurant , Cock and Bottle, VSQ Gin & More Bar and Kibble Dog Friendly Coffee House in Skipton. The Fountaine Inn in Linton continues give great value for money and delish, hearty meals served by friendly staff. The Retreat Tearoom and Black Horse Hotel in Grassington and Wonky Cafe in Settle were also very good. Castle Woods behind the impressive medieval castle is ideal for dog walkers. A thoroughly enjoyable stay was had by all - thank you. We highly recommend Castlewood Cottage as a base for exploring the beautiful Yorkshire Dales.

  A lovely stay in a well located cottage, the cottage was welcoming and inviting.

  Upon arrival, there was some milk,tea and coffee provided which was a nice gesture. The cottage is a great base for walking and a visit to Malham to see the cove and Janet’s Foss. After a 12 mile walk, Dyson House is a great place to come home and relax. There were a few areas which could be improved, the kitchen was lacking some utensils such as small sharp knives for chopping and the oven door was faulty as it struggled to close. The hinge on the left hand side is not secured in properly which caused problems during the stay. Another minor issue, was that in some areas of the home there are damp spots where wallpaper is starting to peel, which is something to watch in the future. Overall, we had a really enjoyable stay at Dyson House and would consider this cottage to stay in the future.

  Tastefully decorated, thoughtfully equipped and furnishings and fittings all of a high quality.

  So good to have sharp knives, decent hooks on the doors and a really nice shower! There was plenty of crockery etc without it being over the top, so things were easy to access. Plenty of empty cupboard space in the kitchen. Possibly an extra remark about the steep staircase would be useful for older or less agile people. Parking was generally ok but we were told by a resident that his car had been damaged by other vehicles manoeuvering in the tight space available. The owners were really helpful and have done a great job of creating a lovely place to stay.

  Great house, perfectly suited to our family's needs and very helpful owners who helped us immediately when there was a boiler issue.

  Quirky, interesting and very comfortable beds. Kitchen was very well equipped with more than everything supplied. Only tiny criticism would be that there was quite a build up of dust under the beds (only noticed due to children putting their bags under the beds). But, overall, a fantastic stay and we'd definitely go back - would have liked to have stayed longer but couldn't due to work and only needed it for the weekend for completing the Yorkshire Three Peaks. Thank you very much!

  Lovely property in central location.

  Warm and inviting and well decorated throughout. Just a couple of things which are small and in no way meant to be picky: 1. the lounge rug has a permanent crease which made it easy to trip over, I tried to straighten it but it didn't work 2. the weekly planner\key ring holder in the kitchen dropped off; a better wall fixing is probably required Lastly, the house is on a very steep hill and if you are with elderly guests with walking difficulties might make it difficult.
