  We had a fantastic stay at West View in June, great location for us walks from the doorstep or if you want to travel a bit further then Patley Bridge and Lofthouse are not too far to drive.

  No shop in the village but Ripon only 4 miles away. Great friendly pub just around the corner which we visited on a couple of occasions enjoying a good home cook meal on the one visit. The cottage itself has 3 great sized bedrooms with comfortable beds. Big bathroom with a great shower although there was a certain knack to flushing the toilet, which could do with looking at. Great living room with comfortable sofa's, separate dining room with big table we could all sit round and eat at. Kitchen a nice size and well equipped although we did go out and buy our own wine glasses as wine glasses in the cottage were very small and could do with updating for those who enjoy a nice glass of wine. The back garden is lovely and as we had good weather it was a great place to sit out and our springer enjoyed the space, also great view and fab to see the lambs out the back. we had a fab week at West View and the best recommendation i can give is that we have rebooked for later on in the year

  The cottage is in a lovely village .

  It's well furnished and nicely decorated. The garden wasn't safe for our small dog (shih tzu). I would never and didn't leave him unattended. Whilst on lead with me he showed me he was able to put his head under the 5 bar gate and could have got out .he loves checking pee mails and unfortunately the small holly bush in the garden poked his eye . It resulted in us taking him to emergency vet who checked his eyes .we were given eye drops and pain relief . We had to return to the vet the following day. Its a very painful injury and it spoiled our holiday as Oscar was very uncomfortable and couldn't settle. We returned to the vets the following day to check his eye again. The vet recommended we take Oscar to our own Vet on our return which we did this morning and we had to buy more eye drops We have to take him back on Thursday to our vet for another check. Up to today we have spent £380 on vets fees. What was meant to be a relaxing holiday was anything but.

  The house is in a great position by the canal in a quiet cul de sac and situated perfectly for a walk into town across the river and through the cathedral grounds.

  It is comfortable and warm and had pretty much everything we needed plus a bottle of wine and a couple of bottles of beer on arrival. If I had to moan about anything it would be the yard is shared with 2/3 properties and isn’t very private and there’s no gate so letting the dog out isn’t possible but walking him out is really easy as there’s the canal path opposite. A wooden spoon would be advantageous for the morning porridge. The back door looked like it had been broken into with a jemmy and kicked open so the lock was a bit dodgy but it did lock and unlock. There’s also scaffolding surrounding the house next door with a fastening bolt that sticks out and hurts when you walk into it so be careful of that. That aside we had a lovely stay here and really enjoyed Ripon we would definitely stay here again.

  The cottage is beautiful.

  Really stylish but very homely and welcoming. We arrived with a lovely welcome tray and fresh milk and a tin of yummy dog biscuits for our dog. The beds are very comfortable and so are the pillows. The house was spotless, well equipped and plenty big enough for four adults, a toddler and a dog. The garden is beautiful especially seeing the little lambs in the field behind. The village is in a great location, just 10 minutes to Ripon and 25 to Harrogate. The village pub does great food with a friendly service. We got a local sainsburys to deliver a shop as we arrived, as there is no village shop you need to be prepared but you’re so close to other places it’s not a problem. The hosts were really friendly, kind and informative. We loved our stay here and are definitely rebooking to go back.

  Hope House - A Perfect Yorkshire Retreat 5 stars Hope House is an absolute gem nestled in the heart of the stunning Yorkshire countryside.

  As a couple with a small Yorkshire Terrier, we were seeking a peaceful retreat, and Hope House exceeded all expectations. The cottage itself is charming and beautifully maintained. The spacious kitchen/diner was perfect for preparing meals, while the cozy sitting room with its woodburning stove created the ideal ambiance for relaxing evenings. Upstairs, the bedrooms were comfortable and stylish, and the bathrooms were luxurious. We loved exploring the surrounding area. The walks through the Dales were breathtaking, and the nearby village of Kirkby Malzeard offered everything we needed. The Queens Head pub was a particular highlight. Hope House is the perfect base for exploring the Yorkshire Dales. We can't wait to return! Highly recommend for couples seeking a tranquil getaway.
