We had a really lovely stay at Curlew Cottage for my husbands 40th birthday weekend. It was a great base to explore the surrounding area as we are into our walks. The house itself was beautifully presented, spacious, very clean and had everything we needed. The setting was very peaceful with beautiful views all around. We spotted lots of wildlife which was lovely. We would highly recommend and hope to visit again in the future.

Found this at the very last minute due to a flooded home- couldn’t have been better and so helpful and responsive.

A lovely home in a beautiful location. Very clean and well equipped. Perfect for our family weekend away. Hosts were very accommodating. Would love to stay again!

Amazing house in Peaceful location. Perfect for a getaway with friends.

Delightful, spacious, home away from home.

This was our second time staying here. We immediately felt at home. What a lovely house to stay in.

Curlew Cottage was a great place to stay. Very peaceful, a good level of quality and luxury and a lovely place to relax.We enjoyed our stay and would recommend.

Fantastic stay, such a quiet location and the kids loved it. Rooms were all huge, comfortable and clean. Would happily stay again if visiting the area again.

The place is nicely secluded in a lovely part of Yorkshire. The views from the big double windows in the morning were an absolute pleasure as was the sunsets. The rooms are well appointed with massive beds and each room has its own bathroom which was perfect. There was a great BBQ which we were planning to use but the weather had other ideas. Overall a lovely place with lovely hosts.

Terrific accommodation, great space indoors and out. Great countryside setting. It was very hot few days whilst we were there, so pleased to see large fans in each bedroom. Lots of lovely towns, villages and award winning pubs within a short drive.

Beautiful house in a beautiful, peaceful location. Beds are super comfy and all en suite which is amazing. We were also very grateful for the fans provided given we were there during the heatwave. Thank you for a lovely relaxing break !

If you’re considering booking Curlew Cottage, do it. This cottage really is a gem and probably hands down one of the best accommodations we’ve ever had the pleasure of staying in. The cottage was ideal for our group holiday and everything about the cottage itself exudes luxury and excellence. The cottage is of a very high standard and really does provide a level of comfort which is home from home. The garden is also a fabulous space which we made use of everyday into the evenings enjoying drinks and a couple of bbq’s. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and were sad to leave, we won’t hesitate in booking again if we choose to visit the area again.

Perfect house, home from home, lovely view from the lounge window overlooking the fields and in the distance the hills. The added bonus was all the lambs gambolling in the sunshine! Perfect location to explore the Dales National Park, with lots of walks, A lovely place to unwind for a week.
