Accomodation was in very good order; as presented on the VBRO-website. We found everything needed for a comfortable stay in a ‘home away from home’.Communication with owner Phil left nothing to be desired.We had a lovely time during what was a first visit to the Dales. Newbiggin is a lovely little village for those who seek peace and quiet in the countryside. At the same time: within 90 minute drives plenty to see and do for those looking for more than that.Yorkshire folk struck us as welcoming, relaxed and friendly.Will definitely come back.

A lovely short break

My wife and I had a very enjoyable long weekend stay at this lovely cottage (Friday - Monday). The cottage is very well appointed, and the kitchen has everything you could possibly need. The village is nice and quiet, and the cottage is set right back from the main road that passes by the village.The local pub is only a short walk away and it serves delicious food. Booking a table is recommended.We stayed during a very hot spell, and the only improvement would have been if there had been an umbrella for the garden table to provide some shade. We would certainly book again!

Lovely Dales accommodation

A spacious, welcoming, tasteful and convenient place to stay in a hamlet in Bishopdale in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales. Shower room and toilet downstairs with lovely under-floor heating; bedroom (with wash-stand), kitchen and sitting room upstairs with the outside entrance up a flight of stone steps. Easy off-street parking. From here you walk past a few houses to any of several public footpaths which lead you onto an open moorside, or valley walk, within a couple of minutes. The beauty of the surrounding area and indeed of the entire Yorkshire Dales National Park cannot be conveyed by mere words or even by photographs - you need to be in it to appreciate it. We had a lovely stay.

Fabulous cottage in a perfect location

We stayed at Westburn Cottage for a week in early July. The cottage is a perfect size for two people and was a great base to explore the Dales. The kitchen was well equipped and the whole cottage was fitted out to a high standard. The outdoor space was a lovely spot to relax. We really enjoyed our week staying here and would love to return to both the Dales and the cottage.

beatiful cottage with a wonderful view

We enjoyed the wonderful renovated cottage. Everything you need you'll find. It is central to all the attractions of the national park and we loved to hike in the area. If you have a question, the owner will help you. Thank you for the great time we had!

Lovely cottage

We stayed for two weeks but could have quite happily stayed longer. Phil has had a great eye for detail when planning the cottage. Everything we needed was to hand and it was all together very comfortable. It’s also ideally suited for exploring the Dales and there are a variety of lovely walks straight from the door. We will definitely be returning.

Comfortable with first class facilities

Being at the end of a one mile cul-de-sac the amount of traffic in a day is neglible-very peaceful. I found the village a good centre for bike rides in all directions. On rest days I had a ride on the Wensleydale Railway and a visit to Fountains Abbey. I certainly look to make a repeat booking next year.

Cottage in the beautiful Wensleydale

Wonderful location. Very well equipped cottage. Fabulous views in a small quiet hamlet A lovely cottage to come back too after a day out. This is a lovely place for a wonderful relaxing break. Would recommend the cottage and area without hesitation. The booking was made for us by our son who said Phil the owner was great to deal with nothing too much trouble .We would concur with this as we met him whilst there . Thank you Phil .

Enjoyable stay in Newbiggin

Lovely quite secluded location, very surprised how quiet and peaceful this location is. Cottage compact but functional. Must say not suitable for people who have issues with stairs which is my only critical comment. Lots of firewood supplied. Lovely little garden outback. Good supply reading material. Nearby pub very good. We would absolutely rent this cottage again if we every came back.

What a delightful cottage, it has everything you could possibly need. The log burner is a treat, makes it so cosy. Great view out the windows and a lovely area to sit outside. A delightful village with very friendly residents. What made it better is that my phone signal wasn’t great do meant no one could get hold of me…..another treat! Fabulous area to walk and travel around if you want go a bit further (Fabulous base). Will definitely be back.

Fantastic house

This converted barn has everything you could wish for and more. Lovely living room, with a fireplace that can be turned on when it is cold outside. The windows are each a painting with picturesque views. The kitchen is fully equipped. The bedroom also has the same view at the landscape. I think the bed had the best mattress of our holiday. Shower and toilet are downstairs, where we were positively surprised by the water pressure. The outside seating area made the house complete. The host was more than helpful, thank you Phil. I would recommend this house if you are looking for a quit place to stay. From here you can easily explore the Yorkshire Dales.

About the host

Hosted by Phil Brewster

Host profile image
Despite this not being our primary residence, my partner & I love the Dales, and escape here as often as work allows. But as we can't be here all the time we don't see why others shouldn't enjoy the use of such a lovely property, in such a gorgeous setting. As it's our 2nd home, it's been furnished to a high standard with all mod-cons. We've been very lucky that everyone who's been to stay has loved it. So much so that we get people coming back year after year (one couple like it so much they've been 6 times and have already booked a break for next year). We aim to make your stay as enjoyable and as hassle-free as possible. And hope that at the end of your stay you'll feel like you don't want to leave.

Why they chose this property

The barn itself is right at the heart of the Yorkshire Dales National Park, so it's a perfect base to explore & visit the surrounding countryside. Anyone who's ever watched James Herriot's 'All Creatures Great & Small' will know that the local scenery is stunning. The walking is fantastic too, but if the weather's not great there are plenty of places to visit including castles, museums, steam railways etc. And if eating out is your thing there are plenty of pubs, tea-shops, restaurants & cafes - all of which serve food to a high standard. Most of all, the people are really friendly - despite the (undeserved) reputation of Yorkshire folk being monosyllabic!

What makes this property unique

We feel it's got everything you could ask for. Access from the front door to the Dales, but close enough to towns and villages when you need them. The barn has full electric central heating & a multi-fuel stove for when you want that warm, cosy log-fire atmosphere. One other selling point - unlike many other cottages we DON'T charge extra for coal/wood in Winter (in some cases up to £20 extra a week), so you won't have to worry about any extra hidden costs.
