The property had clearly not been used for some time beforehand and was very cold when we arrived. It had no central heating, and only a coal fire and two oil-filled radiators to try to warm it. It also had single glazing through which a draught could be felt. The cottage never really gelt warm. Parts of the property were not clean. Some of the kitchen cupboards actually had cobwebs and resident spiders, and the shelves felt dirty.The wifi stopped working on day 2, and never worked again, something which made things particularly difficult when there was no mobile phone coverage either. The owner did not seem unduly concerned about this. I can see from a later review that it did not work the following week either. On the positive side the bed was very comfortable, there was always hot water, and the views from the cottage were lovely. Swaledale is a gorgeous valley. We will not be returning to this cottage.

Sorry to hear that . I did have the cleaners in beforehand . I did get the WiFi fixed and there is mobile phone reception in the area. Did all I could to help them with WiFi reception from other cottage. I will make sure the cleaners check everything next time . Not had this kind of review ever before and my other guests over the years have been very happy. So so sorry you did not feel the same.

Perfect cottage

Dorothy’s cottage is all you could wish for from the homely comfort to the views across to the hills opposite. It feels a much loved home and although small is really well equipped and meant holiday cooking was a pleasure For some the lack of a washing machine might be a big issue but our only complaint is that it is advertised as having wi-fi (we chose it in favour of other wireless options) when in fact that barely functions and you are in effect cut off as there is no phone signal either. Having said that we absolutely loved our stay in Intake cottage

Thank you for your kind review. It was a pleasure to meet you and thank you for looking after the cottage. As far as the WiFi is concerned it was working well in the summer so shall have to look into that. I would however like to point out that you are not cut off even if your mobile has no signal as the cottage does have a landline.

Amazing cottage

Very impressive 18th century cottage in a beautiful location! Really enjoyed my stay here with my Nan and cousin. Dorothy was very polite and helpful, will definitely be coming to visit again in the future and would highly recommend!

Michael and his family were very good guests and left the cottage very clean and tidy. Communication improved as time moved on. Would recommend to future hosts.

A spring idyll

This was my second time staying at Intake Cottage and it was, once again, clean and welcoming. The garden was also well-maintained and a pleasure to look out on with spring daffodils replacing the apples and mallows of autumn. Communication with Dorothy was prompt. Thank you, Dorothy.

Thank you for your kind words, sorry to have missed you with all the bad weather that day but at least we spoke and the next day was much better for us all. Hope to see you again sometime in the future.

Sehr stilvolles Cottage in dem idyllischen Swaledale.

Das Cottage war sehr schön, klein und stilvoll eingerichtet. Ein Kamin ist vorhanden und kann benutzt werden. Dies kann beim englischen Klima manchmal sogar im Sommer nötig sein. Der Vorgarten ist klein aber auch schön. Auf der Terrasse steht ein Sommerhaus zur Verfügung, das wir aber nie benutzt haben. Die Inhaber, Frau und Herr Kent, sind sehr nett und hilfreich. Neben dem Cottage wohnt der Sohn, William, ein Ansprechpartner für Notfälle. Auf alle Fälle sind die Yorkshire Dales so schön, dass man die meiste Zeit im Freien verbringt, so dass das Cottage meist leer bleibt. Die Sommertage sind in England sehr lang (um 22 Uhr ist noch relativ hell). Nicht vergessen, wenn man das Cottage bucht: ein paar Kilometer zurück steht das Punch Bowl Inn, ein sehr gutes Restaurant mit ausgezeichneter englichen Küche. Und sonst, viel Spaß in den Dales!

Lovely little cottage

The cottage has loads of character. Kitchen is well equipped. The only negative (with the whole property) was a lack of washing machine - especially after a days hiking in possibly muddy conditions. We felt the freezer could have been replaced with a washing machine and perhaps have a smaller fridge including a small freezer? That said, the kitchen was stocked with most basics and implements and enabled cooking or simple microwaving each evening. The living area was perfect - a great fire which includes coal and most kindling needed. TV and dvd/blu ray player and freesat, plus free wifi means you can keep in touch with the world if needed. Wifi worked perfectly and a landline is available as no mobile reception in cottage. The electric meter was in the corner and we spent about £20 over the week but that included charging phones, I pads and other electronic devices together with using the oven and electric heaters regularly. Only got caught out once with no juice in the meter! The bedroom is roomy and provides amazing views in the morning. The second bedroom is off the main one and you have to go through the main bedroom to get to the bathroom. The bathroom is small but is sufficient. Electric shower is fine and bath is available. All in all we would recommend this cottage. Only one minor quibble tegards lack of eashing machine but otherwise a perfect Base for exploring the dales. We'd definitely visit again!

Cosy Retreat in the Dales

Arriving to a beautiful hearth on a cold half term. It was a great place to get away from it all and enjoy the dales.

Cozy Intake Cottage in Swaledale

Absolutely fantastic week in Swaledale at the cozy intake cottage at low row. Hardly left the cottage as the views are spectacular . Loved sitting in the garden and summerhouse. Enjoyed cooking and baking in the kitchen. Had a roaring fire in the evenings bliss. Snug in the pretty bedroom with the electric blanket warming the bed. Booked again for october staying in the ajacent swallows byre . Cant wait! Mrs Kent is very welcoming and you have everything you need in this spotlessly clean cottage.

Absolutely perfect

Intake Cottage is a wonderful base from which to explore Swaledale, and the perfect retreat in wet weather - cosy and supplied with everything you might need. It looks out over a field - full of lambs when I was there in May - and then the river Swale beyond. There are lovely walks directly from the cottage. The owners, Dorothy and Nigel, were extremely welcoming. I very much appreciated their tip about the fish-and-chip van that passes the cottage at about 7.15 on a Friday evening - truly delicious fish and chips!
