• "Ella's Cottage was perfect for us, our two children and our Dog and made our new year very special."

  The cottage was pristine and had everything that we needed. Each room was so cosy and comfortable and the space felt like a home from home. It's beautifully decorate and there are lots of thoughtful touches throughout. We know the local area well and can vouch that the cottage is located in a really wonderful place with access to stunning view, great walks and local eateries. Ella was the perfect host and we would not hesitate to recommend her beautiful cottage to friends and family. Thanks for a lovely stay, Ella x

• "We were not aware that the property had a flying freehold so could hear neighbours upstairs, or that neighbours have a right of way through the garden."

  Dear Dorothy with reference to your comments I write as follows The flying freehold, I would to think that many properties up the Dales of an age of 1700 would have flying freehold. It is common practice for mid terrace properties to gain access through there neighbours gardens. Regards Ella Property Owner

• "This was our second stay at Hawthorne Cottage."

  It is so comfortable and homely. It has everything we needed. Also, it's an ideal location for exploring the area. We did plenty of woodland walks and visited many of the areas waterfalls. We enjoyed it so much, we've already booked the cottage again for next year!

  Thank you Christine for your feedback so pleased you got a couple of nice days and remember always lots more to visit looking forward to see you all again regards Ella Property Owner

• "I have a very nervous rescue dog and didn't realise neighbours have to pass through the garden with the bins."

  Noise and people are things she reacts to but fortunately we were out or back door shut when this happened. I appreciated the homely feel and the fire had been switched on in the lounge to welcome us. The shower rooms and kitchen were clean, modern and looked very new. Lovely cottage in a lovely village with plenty of walks from the door, no need to get in the car, but probably wasn't the best fit for us on this occasion.

  Sorry to hear of your dog nervous disposition. The property is all double le glazed. Hopefully you will come back again and thank you for your feedback Property Owner

• "The overriding issue was that Sykes added an extra £140 on the original booking when we had to defer the holiday due to unforeseen circumstances which meant that Hawthorn Cottage was overpriced for the accommodation on offer."

  The “free parking” was on the opposite side of a busy main road and it wasn’t always possible to park close to the property. Transferring suitcases became a challenge to say the least. The cottage itself was clean and tidy but very small and the lack of privacy both in the front room and the backyard could have been improved upon. The provision of logs for the burner was welcome but a set of saucepans and a bread knife would have been even more so. The packet of biscuits as a welcome pack was pleasant but to be honest, after a long drive, a small bottle of milk plus some teabags would have been more useful. Judging from the comments of other guests in the visitors book, we are in the minority but based on our experiences of many other holiday rentals Hawthorn Cottage was disappointing, sadly; especially in view of the overall cost of the holiday.

  I am disappointed that you have chosen to misrepresent my property in this way. Your criticisms are totally unfounded. Could you be confusing my cottage with one of the.many others you have stayed in. Property Owner

  It has been one of the loveliest cottages we’ve stayed in. It is an old stone cottage with loads of character but it has also been recently modernised to a high standard and is tastefully furnished with a very modern, fitted kitchen. It is very comfortable and cosy. It”s gorgeous to sit in front of the log fire in the sitting room reading a book in the evening. It’s so cosy. Cotherstone is a lovely village too. I’d highly recommend this cottage for a very relaxing, comfortable stay.
