Reviews
"This cottage has become our holiday default destination! We have been holidaying in the dales for a number of years and the Summer Palace has been the best cottage to date. Small in size but beautifully appointed with everything needed for a restful holiday. Roger and Hilary are perfect hosts, knowledgeable about the area,most importantly where is good for food and there are many choices. To look out of the bedroom window and see swallows swooping over the vegetable garden in the morning is a sight not to be forgotten."
"This is an amazing place, highly recommend.. Views are brilliant, cottage is comfy with all amenities catered for. The hospitality is fantastic and we had an fabulous time in the Summer Palace. The village of Middleham was most welcoming, pubs friendly and full of horse racing professionals ... Food in the local pubs was fantastic. A day out in Hawes and Richmond was great... This place is highly recommended for anyone visiting The Yorkshire Dales "
"Stayed at this lovely cottage in march 2016. Superb cottage set in lovely grounds. The owners are very helpful & informative ( Thanks for the help with our luggage Roger ) A great base to tour the national park areas and a lovely town to stay in. The castle ( home to a Richard the third as a boy) is a 5 minute walk from the cottage as are local pubs and eateries. Enjoyed lunch at the Richard the third hotel. Leyburn ( slightly larger town) is 2 miles away where theres more restaurants and shops. Aysgarth falls is worth a visit. Unfortunately 'The forbidden corner' was closed as it was out of season. The cottage has full amenities ( wi-fi, tv x2 microwave, electric heaters for colder days) and a fantastic log burner fire ( doesnt take long to get toastie with this crackling away). Loved our visit here and will definately go back as our time in the dales was too short. Thanks again to Roger & Hilary"
