Wonderful Stay!

The location and the cottage were idyllic with a cute babbling brook running along side the road. So many scenic walks to do from the cottage and along the River Wharfe, including a wonderful waterfall trail at Ingleton, a bit further away. Lovely local pubs and enjoyed The Old School Tea Rooms 5 minutes away.Sue was very helpful in the booking process and answered all our queries before we went.

Great property, amazing location.

Cozy, comfortable, cute and convenient! Some of the best trails and pubs in all the Dales right outside the door. The hike up the Hebden Gill to the moor was a highlight. The cake, crisps and wine were a nice touch. Book a table at the Clarendon and the Craven Arms in Appletreewick. Walk Dales Way over the suspension bridge to Burnsall. And hike Pen y Gent if you can!

Dear Sue, 12 days we had the pleasure to stay in Ghyllcroft Cottage. We felt very mucht " at home" in this very well decorated house with the nice interior. We enjoyed every day walk directly from the house but also the trips to Malham, Ingleton or Bolton Abbey, Simon’s seat and the whole beautiful Wharfedale.

Great cottage for country walks

Lovely cottage in a beautiful, quiet location. Stayed for a week with our smallish dog. Cottage is very clean, well equipped and full of charm. Double bed was very comfortable. Everything works as it should, including TV, wifi and mobile signal. The owners have put much thought into the property including a welcome pack for guests. Front patio gets the sun for most of the day (in June) and has a pretty little garden. Well, you know when you're out walking and come across a pretty row of stone cottages and wonder what it'd be like to stay in one - well, now you can!!! As a bonus there are lots of great walks directly from the front door. Nature is on the doorstep and it's a paradise for birds and wildlife. We saw a barn owl hunting at dusk around the cottage on a couple of evenings. Parking no problem in Main Street a couple of mins walk away. Had a very happy week there.

Schönes Cottage in schöner Umgebung

Wir hatten einen sehr schönen Aufenthalt in Hebden. Das Cottage ist sehr gemütlich, geschmackvoll eingerichtet und mit allem ausgestattet was man so braucht. Wir haben uns hier sehr wohl gefühlt. Die Gegend in der sich das Haus befindet, das Wharfedale, ist wunderschön. Man kann direkt vom Haus aus schöne Wanderungen starten z. nach Grassington oder nach Burnsall. Im Ort gibt es einen guten Pub und einen Tearoom, beides sehr gut. Wir können einen Urlaub hier nur wärmsten empfehlen und werden auf jeden Fall wieder kommen.

A cosy cottage situated at the end of a lane. Great for hiking and exploring the area. Very welcoming and helpful host. All necessary equipment there. As it is a genuine cottage space might be an issue for some. Just look at the pictures. Ideal for lovers of the Dales.

Lovely cottage in a great surrounding

Well equipped cottage nicely decorated. The contactless but warm welcoming from our hosts made us feel at home immediately. The information book provided by the hosts left no questions open. Walking, exploring, fishing, sightseeing can be found at least within 30 minutes drive. Although there is no parking close to the cottage it was always possible to find space within short distance. This cottage is highly recommended.

Beautiful in every way

The cottage is well adapted. Warm, cosy and was a pleasure to stay in during some horrendous weather. The facilities are exactly as described and expected. The location is great for exploring. We found ourselves wondering up above the cottage in the hills and found it to be breathtaking, especially when the tops where white with a little snow. Local area has what you need. The pub was inviting and keep their beer very well. A perfect little hideaway in the Dales.

Beautiful cottage

We had a lovely 2-week stay at Ghyll Croft. The house was spotless and Sue and Martin had gone above and beyond to ensure that everything was clean and safe with regard to COVID, without compromising on comfort. The cottage is well-placed for lots of lovely walks, and Grassington is just a short drive (or a long walk!) away. We were unlucky with the weather during our stay, but the clever remote-controlled gas fire made sure that we were always warm in the cottage! Overall, we had a great stay and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it!

Perfect

Beautiful, cosy, quiet and spotlessly clean cottage. Equipped with everything you could possible need. Excellent communications from Sue. Folders full of information and recommended walks and maps. Well tended front patio garden - buddleia covered in butterflies in August. Lots of great but fairly easy walks from the doorstep - up to Mossy Moor Reservoir and the old mine workings, along the River Wharfe to Burnsall (nice "Riverside Café" by the car park), Grassington and Linton Falls. In the village the Old School House Café in Main Street is an essential visit - we had pre walk breakfast and afternoon tea a number of times. Clarendon Hotel/Pub just around the corner for a friendly welcome, evening beer and meal. We will look forward to returning.

About the host

Hosted by Susan McLoughlin

Host profile image
I (Martin) grew up lower down the Wharfe valley but moved south to study, met Sue and settled for over 30 years to work and raise our family. We bought the cottage in 2012, primarily as a place to stay when visiting relatives in the area but with the intention also to let the cottage out for holidays. Having moved to Yorkshire in 2016 we are now able to do odd jobs, enjoy the cottage/area more frequently and chat with the neighbours.

Why they chose this property

We had holidayed for years in the area with our children and as a child I (Martin), camped many times in upper Wharfedale with my family, so we knew the area very well. It was the ideal property in the ideal place, with a great local pub, walking from the door and beautiful surroundings.

As soon as we saw the cottage, we fell in love with it. And when we walked through the front door it just wowed us!

What makes this property unique

The wonderful views, character, peaceful but not isolated location made the cottage so appealing. It is a lovely place and we were very lucky to find it.
