Guests say
Deer Park Cottage receives glowing praise for its stunning views, spacious and beautifully appointed interiors, and peaceful rural setting. Guests consistently highlight the high standard of cleanliness, well-equipped kitchen, and comfortable beds. The property is ideal for groups and families, with excellent walking routes from the doorstep. While a few minor maintenance issues and suggestions for additional kitchen items are mentioned, these do not detract from overwhelmingly positive experiences. The welcome touches are appreciated, though not always consistent. Overall, guests highly recommend this cottage for a relaxing and memorable stay in the Yorkshire Dales.
Cleanliness is frequently praised, with many guests describing the property as spotless, immaculately clean, and well maintained. Only a couple of minor issues, such as a few missed dusty spots and shower drains, are mentioned, but these are rare exceptions.
The location is widely celebrated for its breathtaking views, tranquillity, and proximity to scenic walks and Reeth. The remote setting and narrow access road are noted, but most guests see this as a positive for peace and seclusion.
Guests find the cottage very comfortable, with spacious living areas, cosy underfloor heating, and comfortable beds. A few mention firm mattresses and pillows, but overall comfort is highly rated.
Facilities are described as excellent, with a well-equipped kitchen, ample hot water, and thoughtful amenities. Minor suggestions include sharper knives, more kitchenware, and occasional maintenance (e.g., bifold doors, EV charger), but these are outweighed by positive feedback.
Guests appreciate thoughtful touches such as welcome packs (milk, bread, cheese, biscuits), but note that contents vary and are not guaranteed. Communication is generally good, though some found automated messages excessive. The property is well set up for families and those with accessibility needs.

Hi, we booked the cottage as a family break for my wife’s 60th birthday and it didn’t disappoint. It was a fantastic stay and although we had to return early for personal reasons the time we had was exceptional. Me and my wife are thinking of booking again soon.
