Beautiful accommodation in a great area

We loved our stay and found Allison and her husband most responsive and helpful with any questions we had. My only wish, if we are lucky enough to come again, would be for a better internet connection but that wouldn't keep me from returning. Allison has created a beautiful and comfortable home away from home that is amazingly well equipped.

Thanks for the nice review Linda, you were super guests and we'd love to have you back anytime ☺️. I will get Keith to try to improve the WiFi. It can be a bit slower though if there are a few other people using it (like my son playing his games ☺️)

Lovely little cottage

The cottage is lovely and well located. It has everything you need including a nice breakfast hamper! Alison made us feel very welcome and gave us some very useful information about the location. The cottage had a warm and festive feeling with all the lovely Christmas decorations in display for us! Thank you very much, Alison!

Perfect in every way

Our small family group (all over 65s) had a short break in this lovely property to celebrate the life and share happy memories of a recently departed loved-one. We had spent many wonderful holidays together in this part of the Dales. We chose The Little Dairy Stables because the description ticked all our boxes for location, comfort and character. We weren’t disappointed- it was just perfect for us. Alison responded quickly to our various questions and gave us a lot of helpful additional information. She was there to greet us on arrival and show us round - the perfect host! The en-suite bedrooms were beautifully furnished and comfortable. (The outdoor bath tub is a must for a soak on a warm evening!). We hope to return before long.
