Olivia Carter

We had a lovely stay at Skyline! The welcome was really warmand the beds were super comfy. The views from the cottage are so peaceful, perfect for unwinding. The kitchen had everything we needed for a family celebrationand the hot tub was a hit - kept at the right temperature and big enough for everyone. There are plenty of spots inside and out to relax, plus great walks just outside the door. Definitely an indulgent break we'd do again!

Emily Parker

We had a lovely stay at this charming cottage! The open-plan kitchen and dining area felt warm and inviting, especially with the cosy wood burner. It's perfect for groups of 10, with a big hall to gather in after a day out. The views over the valley are simply stunningand relaxing in the hot tub was a real treat. Plus, there's plenty to explore nearby-lovely walks to the village and a cute cafe in the church hall. Definitely recommend!

Oliver

We had a fantastic time! The property is stunning and the views are just breathtaking. Luckily, the weather was perfect, so we enjoyed the hot tub. The welcome pack was really thoughtful and had everything we needed after arriving. Lovely stay!

Emily

We had a fantastic time here! The place was spotless and felt really cosy, with stunning views that made it even better. Everything we needed was provided - from toiletries to blankets. The lovely welcome basket was a sweet touch. Definitely recommend staying here!

Emma Roberts

Our family, ranging from 18 months to 70 years old, had an amazing stay! The cottage was simply gorgeous, with breathtaking views that made every morning special. We tried some paddleboarding and canyoning - loads of fun for those who were up for it. Visiting Low and High Force was a highlight for everyone. The walk to Fox and Hounds was lovelyand we felt really welcome there. The house itself was fantastic-spacious, well-appointedand perfect for both relaxing and playing games. Thanks for a memorable holiday!

Emma T.

We had a great stay! The cottage's location is truly lovely, with stunning views and perfect for walks nearby. It's super comfortable, cleanand well kitted out for a group of friends - though the twin room is a bit tight for adults, more suited for kids. The hot tub was definitely a highlight. Would stay again!

This place is really nice, no complaints at all. The owner was super helpful and quick to reply when we had a couple of questions before arriving. Overall, it's a great spot for a peaceful getaway in such beautiful surroundings. We'd definitely stay again!

Laura

Clean and cosy stay

Emma

We had a lovely stay at this gorgeous cottage, really spotless and well-equipped. The decor is charming and the outdoor space offers stunning views. It's quite spacious and comfy. Just a heads up, the walk into the village is a bit tricky with steep, uneven paths-definitely not pram or wheelchair friendly. Still, two pubs nearby in Cotherstone are worth the trek!

Clara

Beautifully decorated for Christmas. A large living space that felt cosy and warm. Comfortable beds and seating areas. Ample supply of glasses and crockery. Could benefit from more space to store groceries. We all enjoyed the local countryside and the views from the hot tub!

Lucy

This is a perfect arrangement for a big group, as it lets everyone hang out together in the living area while cooking or just relaxing. The bedrooms are lovely and there's an excellent safe space for the dogs too!
