We had a splendid weekend with family ranging from 2 to 90 years old.The magnificent house had everything we wanted, and was perfect for our needs - plenty of space, comfortable beds, lashings of hot water and the heating was very efficient.We were blessed with some sun, but the billiard table and cupboard full of board games would have kept us occupied had it been lashing down with rain. The garden is lovely, and it must be wonderful in summer for outdoor entertaining. That said, the dining room in the house was ideal for a celebratory meal for our large group.Would thoroughly recommend for a relaxed venue for a large family celebration.

Excellent home for the week with fantastic base for exploring

A beautiful house in a picturesque setting with amazing views whatever the weather. Plenty of space for everyone staying. A great base for exploring the area and further afield with rail stations within walking distance. A couple of local pubs as well which was gratefully received. Very quick response from host when needed.

Fabulous Weekend Stay

We had a brilliant stay celebrating my father’s 90’th birthday. The house easily capable of hosting 15 of us but always feeling homely. The kitchen had everything you could need to cater for such a big party having two dishwashers made cleaning up just as easy. The area was great with walks straight out the door with fabulous views

Villa full of character in a stunning location

Entire family group found the villa very comfortable and spacious. The views from the garden and bedrooms were spectacular. The kitchen lacked for nothing and there was enough crockery and cutlery. Ovrrall the villa is a great place for family/friends reunion. I would definitely rent it again and recommend it to friends

50th & 80th birthday do...

The house was a fantastic find, plenty of room for all 18 of us and the dog was also well catered for. It's in a great spot with lots of walks on the doorstep and a couple of great pubs for food and drinks just at the bottom of the road. There is an oldy worldy charm to the house but it has all the mod cons you would need. The kitchen in particular is very well stocked should you be eating in and the dining room is the perfect place to host. We would certainly look to book again whenever we get the opportunity to bring the whole family together.

Superb property in a really lovely location

What a great place to celebrate our Silver Wedding Anniversary with family. The house looks lovely on line but was even better in reality. All the bedrooms were really nicely appointed most of them with amazing views of the surrounding scenery. Kitchens had everything you could need and the dining room was such an fantastic space to have a celebratory dinner. There are beautiful walks in the dales direct from the property and stunning views from the patio. Giggleswick is a small village with two pubs and there a lots more pubs and places to eat in Settle ,just a short walk away. We ate in the Harts Head in Giggleswick on our last night but made the most of being in this great house the rest of the time. All of our family had the most amazing time - hope to do it again one day

Perfect family holiday

This house is perfect for a large group of people. There were 15 of us ranging from 3 to 72 and we definitely had enough space. The kitchen was lovely with the best views and more than enough cooking and utensils ( can’t think if anything they didn’t have). The wood fires were wonderful as they have them in the snug, dining room and the lounge. Bedrooms are great with everything you need and the showers are slow flowing but you eventually get used to how thy work. The area is amazing and we found the best park for the kids in Giggleswick. Definitely recommend this house and hopefully we will be able to go as a family again Thanks David

Walkers Paradise

We were a walkers group of 13 in our 50s, 60's and 70's. The house was in perfect place for Malham, Ingleborough and a great walk from the front door. The house was very well equipped catering to all our needs and we particularly enjoyed gathering round an open fire after dinner with a glass or two.

Beautiful property with gorgeous views. Short walk into settle.

Nice large and very clean house. There were 20 of us and there was plenty of room. The kitchen was very well equipt. Just a couple of things I would change. The sofas in the lounge and snug were incredibly uncomfortable. There really need upgrading. If the weather had been bad it was not a comfortable place to sit with your family. There really needs a book with all information in as you go into the hallway. We had a problem with smoke alarms but instructions were in the snug telling us were to find the switch in the second kitchen. If there had been a information folder we would have known exactly where to look. Felt a little like a treasure hunt of laminated cards with information on. But we did have a wonderful family weekend. Thank you.

Perfect for a family get-together

Lovely spacious property with lots of character and plenty of bathrooms so no queues in the morning! Well stocked kitchen with enough utensils to cook for/ serve 18 people. The weather was good enough to have some meals outside with spectacular views. Great location with a short walk to a good supermarket and the town of Settle one way and woodland/ dales the other.

Brilliant Location for Catch-Up with Friends

Ideal location for a diverse group of friends to meet and undertake varied outdoor activities. House is large, atmospheric, has plenty of space and rooms for informal chats, for breakfasting and for taking dinner together. Helps that there is good car parking on site. The atmospherics can extend to the individual bathrooms, where concurrent shower-taking seems to cause an issue with water pressure.

Ideal family accommodation

Had a long overdue family get together at this lovely house which retains its charm as it has not been overly modernised. The accommodation is ideal for large families, we were a party of 15 adults and 2 children, plus dogs. The bedrooms are clean, comfortable and warm and the two large en suite rooms to the front of the house have fabulous views. The kitchen is very functional for large group catering with plenty of crockery and glasses. There is a superb dining room and we all loved the sitting room and log fire. Would definitely book again.

Lovely property

Great property, great location and plenty of space for our party of 18 including 10 children. We all really enjoyed our stay. Couple of things to consider Couches are not the comfiest Showers are either boiling or cold with little pressure. Mattresses could do with replacing and a bit dim in light I'm general These things aside it did not spoil our stay. Thank you

Great dining room which could accommodate all our party, large sitting room & a quiet, very useful little snug. Bedrooms were various sizes but all suitable.

About the host

Hosted by David

Host profile image
I fell in love with the Yorkshire Dales and Giggleswick in 2005, spending most weekends here since. I found Woodlands in 2009 and finally moved here in 2011.

When I'm not looking after the house I'm in the hills walking, running, on the bike or just hanging out with my dog Olive.

Why they chose this property

Woodlands is definitely a balance of both both worlds - it's on the edge of the village of Giggleswick - leave by the back door and there is nothing by the Yorkshire Dales National Park. Walk down the drive at the front and Settle is only twenty minutes walk - shops, cafes, pubs.

What makes this property unique

Getting the entire family around the 16 ft dining table.

Stunning location - plenty of walks in the Yorkshire Dales National Park straight from the house.

The historic market town of Settle is only a twenty minute walk lots of shops, pubs, and cafes.

Lovely indoor pool ten minute walk.
