Reviews
"lovely treat, large well equipped Kitchen and walk in larder. open fire in lounge plus wood/coal burner in living room, very cosy and warm. ample parking, and dog friendly. location and views brilliant. only fault would be the time it took the bath to fill not very good when 7 persons staying(soak in the bath after climbing the hill behind rather than a shower)"
"Greengates cottage has a lot of charm and a few drawbacks. The positive elements are well described on the sites where you can rent it and a lot of it is true, but unfortunetely not everything. This is our experience. There were 2 very nice bedrooms with double beds. One other bedroom had a double bed, but was rather small, had no view and the bedroom window did not open. The weather was very hot, so one of us had really bad luck. Further there is a small single room. The beds were good, but the duvets way to warm and no alternative. We were four adults; one couple and two singles. In the garden was almost no shade and no umbrella in the shed: very hot. Worse thing for us: 14 days with no internet access at all, all though this is advertised on the website. Apparantly due to the provider, according to the owners. To my standards the owners did not enough to solve this problem (it was not) or to compensate us afterwards. They even gave me quite a hard time about my complaint at Sykes, and eventually reimbursed 30 pounds (we paid 1140 for 2 weeks). Smaller things: from the front garden you look right into the windows of the house opposite. In the back garden a lot of sheds (falconry sheds) block your view to the dales. There is some view, straight into a quarry. And you should not mind the constant bleating of sheep: it goes on and on and on. Comes with the Dales of course, but be prepared:-). The very big plusses for this cottage: good kitchen, nice atmosphere and above all: access for hiking straight from the cottage: turn right and your climbing Pen-y-Ghent! My best experience: a 'handling visit' (very expensive, but worth it!) to the Yorkshire Dales Falconry Center."
"Wow! Only the two of us plus the dog in this rambling cottage. Excellent oil fired central heating plus open fire and a log burner really makes this cottage very cosy/ We had a very wet week (again). Not too cold so didn't use the open fires. Very clean cottage. Superb enclosed rear garden for the dog. Would be absolutely superb in the Spring. Only critisicm, the very poor lighting arrangements"
"we stayed in this cottage with my 2 children and 2 dogs. we had such a lovely time, the cottage was lovely and big with a lovely garden, one of our bst holidays"
"fantastic location for the yorkshire 3 peak challenge. wonderful, spacious accommodation - absolutely perfect for a big group of friends. the house was extremely clean, warm and had plenty of fuel available for the fire - which we needed!!"
"Omg beautiful house beautiful surroundings, lots to do in the area or just relax at the bottom of penyghent in the garden or light the fire in the dining area or lounge,"
"Beautiful Farmhouse, clean however several things made week not so relaxing and if only were advertised. Sky TV..crashed every 5 mins, Shower...a jug did a better job... Cooker sounded like it was going to take off and became unbearable to use, Next to a working farm...Quad bikes early morning up and down past house. Not the farmers fault he has to work but not advised. I spend my working life starting work at 5 am don't want to on holiday. No mobile signal, again not advertised but offer wifi which couldn't be used as no signal to phones. Rightly or wrongly I run my own business and book a cottage on having wifi and had no way of emergency contact. I had to spend an hour each day in town 6 miles away dealing with work issues. Window frames falling out when windows used, so many bulbs not working. A cottage that doesn't have a guest book always says alot... would not stay again. I know some things petty but added together they made the week quite unrelaxing. However avril, the landlords caretaker could not have been more helpful and agreed to give her landline to my business for emergencies...she would have had to drive 3 miles if there was one...lovely lady. My problem is don't advertise things without been honest! Mobile phone signal and working farm are great selling points for some but not all."
