Completely wonderful!

We have just spent a completely wonderful month at Pear Tree Cottage which is immaculately kept, cozy, comfortable and well equipped with everything you could possibly need for a fantastic holiday. The welcome pack waiting for us in the kitchen when we arrived was a really special touch. The cottage is in a beautiful, peaceful spot and Staveley is a great village. We highly recommend Wilf’s cafe for breakfast or lunch and Mr Duffin’s for coffee and ice cream. There are also great walks straight from the front door up onto Reston Scar, or up to Potter Tarn for a swim. Thank you to Judith and Chris for a lovely stay and for great communication with us before our arrival. We can’t wait to return!

Pear tree cottage stay

Our stay at pear tree cottage was amazing. We had a wonderful time and the stay was made even better by the cleanliness and cosiness of the cottage. Our hosts had gone the extra mile to make the cottage very welcoming with nice homely touches. We now have very fond memories of our stay there and hope to come back again in the near future . I would highly recommend this accomodation

Great week at pear tree cottage thank you Chris & Judith

This is a really cosy cottage for winter breaks the pictures do not justice to the real size of the property. We especially liked the upper lounge - the log burner was very efficient using not many logs to heat the room.

Amazing and the cottage was lovely and comfortable, it was also equipped with everything we needed!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at your cottage, the weather was miserable, but that did not stop us eating out at the local pub a couple of times, there was also some lovely walks we went on. The local butchers catered for all our needs. The cottage was lovely and cosy, we had the burner on every day and evening when we were in, We all loved our stay and found Chris and Judith the owners so very helpful, we will look forward to booking again in the future. Kind regards The Penston Family

Cozy, well-appointed, cute and in a great location!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Pear Tree Cottage. We rented both sides for my husband, daughter, father in law and myself. It was nice having space to spread out. We enjoyed hiking up Reston Scar-the trail is right outside your front door! Would stay again and highly recommend!

Perfect cottage in perfect location

We loved the cottage and will definitely recommend. Very well equipped and comfortable . Generous space for two couples, with two cosy lounges with log burners, the upstairs one being particularly stylish! Excellent shower rooms with plenty of hot water. A great place to return to after a days walking. Lovely pubs, shops, a bakery and brewery within walking distance. We can’t wait to go back!
