Absolutely loved our stay, we will be returning in the summer!
Beautiful spot for a stay on a working dairy farm with fantastic views and hot tub. Clean, great amenities, fantastic host who gave us a tour round. Heaven!
Lovely property in a beautiful quite location. The property had everything you needed. Our host Julie was welcoming and made a gorgeous afternoon tea. Would recommend for anyone looking for a relaxing weekend with Children and Dog. Would definitely stay again.
Lovely countryside place if you're needing a break away from the city, but still only a short drive away from Otley town centre with lots to do there and plenty of places for walks! we will 100% be booking again and have already sent the links to friends!
The cottage was as described and depicted. It was cosy and comfortable with everything you would need. Beds were really comfortable, had good sleeps. The hot tub was incredible, amazing views and a real luxury.
A well equipped cottage with comfy beds. Beautiful views. Lovely hot tub. Julie was very helpful and even provided home made cakes and fresh milk. Would highly recommend we will definitely come back.
We had a wonderful 2 night stay, Julie was an amazing host and answered all my questions about the working dairy farm.
Julie let us work around the farm and see the cows and the calves.
Such a beautiful setting and so peaceful. We can’t wait to return.
Lovely place to stay, bet its gorgeous in summer. Julie is lovely and helpful without being intrusive. Nice touch with cakes on arrival. Nice location and the beds are sooo comfy. Huge garden for the dogs to run around too. Kitchen is well equipped and modern bathrooms with walk in showers. We didn't use the hot tub with having a baby with us and the dogs would have wanted to get in lol.
Highly recommend and the Sunday lunch at the Queens head was gorgeous and dog friendly too.
A lovely property with beautiful views of sun rise and sunset. The hot tub was amazing, even on a cold January (-3) evening. Warm welcome by Julie, easily contactable but left on our own. Bed was comfy, kitchen ideal and essentials available including the creamiest milk, eggs and cakes already in the cottage for us. Dishwasher, washing machine available for longer stays and both bedrooms had en-suites which seemed new.
A nice drive away from Otley and Harrogate, out of the way enough for privacy and peace but local enough to shops etc. Will definitely book again.
This was our 2nd visit and we had started to wonder if maybe we’d just got caught up in holiday fever and rebooked in haste but as soon as we drove up the hill we remembered the magic! Julie is a fabulous host, nothing is too much trouble and the addition of an EV car charger was a super bonus. She has also added shower trays after I had mentioned them last time and there is now a little notebook for guests to comment if there are any suggestions for additions. The weather was glorious and the hot tub and view are the icing on the cake. We have already booked for next year!
Well it was just nice… I personally had issues and would only give it a 3 star rating.
Don’t quite understand how everyone gave it 5*… that is really misleading and unfair for the next family.
Yes the place was lovely but you don’t have everything you need. Baring in mind you have to travel and need your own items, the bare essentials was not available but you may be able to obtain them if you ask. I personally didn’t want to constantly ask and felt like I was being bothersome.
The wifi was very poor, connection in one room only!
4 coffee capsules only, maybe details of the coffee machine should be mentioned, so one can bring some from home, if they are not going to be topped up daily.
The cake selection in the dome, as a welcome hamper was dry and stale,
The kids games were all over the place… no not one card game or a full family game, baring in my mind no wifi so what is one to do?
Not one non-stick pan😑,
No foil no cling film,
No dish scrubber,
The tv wasn’t compatible to use with wifi or Netflix.
No salt or pepper, had to ask
Coffee was old and stale so I bought my own after the 4 pods finished.
The one jug of milk was welcoming.
No baking facilities
So it was back to basic dvds for the 3 nights.
The town was lovely the view was lovely but everything to do in Otley was closed by this time of year or weekend openings only.
Then to top it off the heating stopped working after the first night of our 3 night stay and had to use electric heating.
Absolutely wonderful. The calf shed had all the required amenities. Very clean and the beds were extremely comfortable. Fabulous peaceful location with amazing views. We made the best of the hot tub which was a bonus. The lovely cakes left on our arrival were a nice touch too!! Would highly recommend
Myself and two friends stayed here for a weekend. What a little gem this place is!! Utterly amazing views, beautiful cottage and the hosting farm dogs were our best friends by the end of our stay! We will definately be returning! Ps the hot tub was fab!
We stayed in the cow shed and the cottage was excellent, everything you needed was provided, including milk from the cows on the farm and cakes! Dressing gowns for when using the hot tub and towels. The views from the hot tub were amazing. We were able to watch the fireworks in the distance. We have already decided to be returning! Definitely will recommend.
