About this property
Windy Ridge Cottage is a beautifully quaint cottage located in a secluded country estate about 3 miles Outside Stow on the Wold. How often can you say that you've stayed on a Cotswolds Estate?! The location is tucked down a little lane, within the hills, just Outside the village of Longborough, famous for its Operatic connections including its annual Opera Festival. And on top of this is the beauty of the area which is as good as it gets. The cottage is a quintessential Cotswolds building built with the mellow stone, nicely secluded and surrounded by an enclosed garden there is also access to the estate's arboretum of 3000 trees. Inside, the cottage is spacious and roomy the Living Room with its triple aspect is especially attractive. The kitchen, while basic, is well equipped and with a delightful Dining Room . Upstairs are two large bedrooms and a third more than comfortable for two. Every window frames beautiful views over the lush gardens. This place is a great choice and very good value.
The Long Ashes Leisure Park is situated in extensive grounds near Threshfield, in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales National Park. Planned carefully to ensure maximum privacy, on the periphery of an area of residential mobile homes, the holiday lodges offer an ideal, quiet retreat for couples and families alike, boasting an abundance of wildlife and lovely walks within its boundaries. In addition there is a leisure centre with heated swimming pool, sauna and jacuzzi. Nearby Grassington is one of the most charming villages in the Yorkshire Dales National Park. Traditional stone cottages and shops are clustered around the cobbled market place, offering exceptional shopping facilities for a village of this size, with a monthly farmers’ market offering a mouthwatering range of organic and homemade local produce. Situated on the River Wharfe, with the extensive Grass Woods to the north of the village, this is a superb walking area. Down dale is Bolton Abbey with the Abbey ruins, the Priory and the famous "Strid Walk".

Carpets filthy, cooker ancient and not fit for purpose. Advertised as dog friendly but had to keep dog in when the owners of property were out with their dogs as unfriendly dogs and dangerous! Not able to relax due to this and ruined our holiday! Over priced for the experience we had, not good enough

We had a few issues with the cooker not cooking correctly (burning the outside of our food & being quite soggy in the middle), the heating system didn't seem to work correctly we managed to get heat on the first few nights but as the week wore on we could not the heating to engage at all which meant the cottage was very cold at night. There was also a bit of damp on the ceiling in the utility room which after some heavy rain on a couple of days left a pool of water. Aside from these minor problems we enjoyed our stay at Windy Ridge & would visit again.

The cottage had character, was comfortable and quiet. Good parking and friendly neighbours and cat. The kitchen needs updating with the oven and microwave in particular not good and not very clean. General cleanliness in the bedrooms was not the best, with items having been left from previous occupants. DVD player needs updating to connect to the TV, however TV very good. Also very good shower and bathrooms.
