A well set up house for exploring the Dales. Highly recommended.
☺ Location was excellent for exploring the Yorkshire Dales. House was well setup for the three of us. Two of the kitchen chairs were partially broken, and when reported, they were replaced immediately by our host, which was much appreciated.
☹ It was very warm and humid when we were there, and sleeping was difficult. A comment I would make, NOT just for this property, but for ALL properties in these times of global warming, is that electric or ceiling fans should be provided to help keep cool for sleeping (and general) comfort. Stand alone electric fans are not expensive.

Lovely cottage base to discover N. Yorks delights.
☺ Lovely cottage. Very comfy beds. Very home-from-home feel. A great base from where to discover the delights of Yorkshire towns and dale. Gargrave has a couple of good pubs; a local chippy; indian restaurant and a Co-op shop - ideal. Could've spent all our time in nearby Skipton town alone. Recommend a visit to Keelham Farm Shop for fresh farm produce.

We enjoyed our stay in Bailey Cottage and much preferred staying in Gargrave rather than Skipton.
☹ Anyone not using the dishwasher would miss a draining board. Could have done with another tea towel.

Smooth booking, contact with host & access. Easy road parking outside & easy to find. Property as expected, well appointed, with clear, helpful instructions that weren't just rules. Bathroom & bedroom good quality & we slept well in a quiet area. Ideal location for 2 days walking at Malham & Stainforth then back to a cosy cottage conveniently placed for the local shop & pubs. So why not 5 stars? In our opinion, & compared to other recent stays elsewhere, just a few details may have been overlooked. Sadly, often overlooked, & it was the case here, a dishwasher that needed a good clean is a nuisance. Good quality towels were quite worn & just one tea towel for potentially five guests is a shortcoming. Perhaps it would have spoilt the lovely interior design but I felt a curtain over the front door would be a great addition. This would cut down on draughts from there to the backdoor & up the stairs experienced when sitting on the sofa. Great stay though, thanks, we'd happily return.

We had a lovely comfortable and cosy stay at Bailey Cottage. We had everything we needed in the cottage.We used the local chip shop, Indian restaurant and local pub, The Old Swan for meals. The shop was very handy as well. We had a lovely long walk along the canal to Skipton and got the train back to Gargrave. Grassington and Linton Falls are worth a visit too. Highly recommend Bailey Cottage.

Lydia’s property was perfect for our stay in the Yorkshire Dales being a 20-30 mins drive for hikes in Malham and Ingleborough and just a few minutes from Skipton with it’s interesting pubs and cafes. We appreciated that there were 2 pubs and an excellent Indian restaurant within short walking distance of the property, so no need to drive out in the evenings. The property was very clean and cosy, felt newly renovated and looked just as in the pictures. It is located on a very pleasant and quiet street.

Lydia's cottage was perfect - comfortable, clean, quiet, beautifully furnished. It is in a lovely street, close to the river and canal for walks, close to pubs and supermarket. Lydia is a great host. Highly recommended.

Lydia’s cottage exceeded our expectations in terms of location, comfort, size, furnishings, decor and cleanliness. We thoroughly enjoyed staying in the village which has a decent range of facilities including a traditional country pub that serves a generous Sunday lunch. The stunning Dales are easily accessible making the cottage an ideal base for hikers. We plan to return & recommend without hesitation.
