Steven23 February 2025Verified Lovely cottage beautifully decorated with everything you could want. Comfortable and warm. Very relaxing Helen19 February 2025Verified We had a very happy stay at Bailey Cottage. It was beautifully decorated, well equipped and very comfortable. The beds were particularly comfy and we all slept well. There is a Co-op that is 5 minutes walk away and well stocked. We enjoyed an Indian take away from the Bollywood Cottage too. Our daughter, who is studying at Lancaster University, was able to visit by train and we had some lovely day trips to York, Bolton Abbey, Skipton Castle and Lancaster. We had a brilliant few days and would thoroughly recommend Bailey Cottage. Thank you very much Lydia. Jessica5 January 2025Verified Highly recommend this beautiful cottage. Has everything you need and is in a lovely location which we enjoyed exploring. Lydia is a fantastic host with great communication and very kindly sent my boots to my home address which I left behind in the property!We will be back! Malcolm20 December 2024Verified Beautiful home.All that we neededWill certainly come back to this home. Pauline5 December 2024Verified Beautiful cottage, ideally situated for exploring the dales. Tastefully furnished and decorated, with a well equipped kitchen and comfortable beds. Lydia was most helpful and responded to our queries very quickly. Would definitely recommend. Amanda11 October 2024Verified Excellent accommodation, super clean, warm and comfortable. Very easy to explore the local area either on foot, by train, bus or car...Lydia provided great recommendations for eating out although the cottage is very well equipped for self catering or eating in. We enjoyed both! Highly recommended as a relaxing place to stay. Meghan30 September 2024Verified The cottage is so beautiful, the pictures don’t do it justice. The space is so clean and kitchen had everything we needed!! We had the best stay at the cottage with our family, had a meal at the local pub which was a very short walk away. Lydia has been a great host for us, and we will hopefully return to the cottage soon for another break away. Thank you for letting us stay! X Bobby20 September 2024Verified Lovely place. Very clean. Deb8 September 2024Verified The house is beautifully furnished and decorated, and beds are very comfortable with good quality bedding and linen. It was spotlessly clean.It was spacious for the two of us and I wouldn’t recommend more than four staying; the lounge only seats four comfortably and the dining table is small; there are only four dining chairs and more than four at the table would be a crush.Most Airbnb properties I have stayed at provide basic kitchen items, and even a welcome pack of milk, bread etc. but we needed to buy these as well as sugar, olive oil, food wrap and additional toilet rolls. Only one t-towel was provided.The fridge is under the counter, with a small freezer compartment. It has a broken shelf, so it is not possible to stand bottles up, as well as limiting storage. We just about managed to fit our food in, but I think a bigger fridge freezer is needed for a property advertised for up to five guests. Dylan1 September 2024Verified Our stay was lovely and absolutely perfect. We adored the cottage and walking the countryside. Thank you so much!Load more
Anonymous14 March 20258.0Verified Very Good ☺ Very good location and comfortable stay ☹ Nothing really Luke23 January 202510Verified Superb winter retreat ☺ A lovely winter retreat. A cosy cottage in a lovely quiet area of Gargrave located beside a river. The location is superb, within 20 mins of Malham and Skipton, and two excellent pubs within 2 min walk. The cottage was lovely and warm when outside was around 1-2°, and heated up superbly along with the downstairs fire. The property has a great interior and is very well furnished. Easy to get to and get parked outside the property. Would definitely stay again. Judy21 November 20249.0Verified Wonderful cottage - very comfortable and beautifully decorated. Great location. And so clean! Richard3 November 20249.0Verified We had a lovely, comfortable stay. The cottage has been so nicely done with excellent equipment. ☺ Beautifully renovated and extremely comfortable. ☹ Maybe a door to the attic room. Larry24 September 20249.0Verified Comfortable stay in a Homely Cottage ☺ Ambience, homeliness. Roger16 September 20248.0Verified A very enjoyable experience all round. ☺ The well located and delightful property was spotlessly clean, very comfortable, had all mod cons and great charachter. ☹ As some previous reviewers have said the lack of a stair rail was a problem for the less nimble. A draining board in the kitchen would have been handy when you just wanted, for example, to swill out some mugs for later use rather than using the dishwasher. Slightly disappointed there was no garden at all. Jim31 August 202410Verified Lovely Cottage in a great location - will stay again ☺ Excellent location and easy parking near the property. Good wifi, TV and very clean. ☹ Lack of clothes hangers in a couple of the bedrooms. John13 August 20249.0Verified Lovely cottage in a great location ☺ Superbly renovated and fitted out cottage. All rooms were very comfortable, the shower was very good with quality toiletries. Kitchen had everything one needed including tea and Nespresso coffee. A small amount of milk would have been nice on arrival though. Great free wifi and smart TV. Good communications with host, Lydia. Village was quiet and had a good Co-op. Bollywood Cottage, Mason Arms and The Frying Yorkshireman were all great for food. We were able to park our three motorcycles outside the cottage on the road and they were very safe. Great base for biking in the Dales! E4 August 20248.0Verified Very Good Colin19 July 202410Verified Excellent ☺ Extremely well presented cottage in an excellent location. Very comfortable bed . Well equipped with everything you need. The cottage has been tastefully renovated to a very high standard, and it's a pleasure to stay there. Thank you for the flowers and fresh farm eggs waiting for us on arrival. ☹ The only thing I didn't like were the stained pillows. Pillow protectors would be a good idea.Load more
