We couldn't believe the value for money with this stay, seeing the property and surrounding in person is really beautiful. Ann was so helpful before during and after our stay and even decorated the property for myself and my bridal party which was so kind. I couldn't recommend this place enough and we will definitely come back with family just for a relaxing retreat. A beautiful find, thank you for a wonderful stay
We hade a lovely say with all the family,Hot tub was amazing, the house was 10 out 10 on cleanliness Everything you wish for ,the two little dachshund loved it too x
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this superb property. The views were a delight and the hot tub was an added bonus. It was clean, comfortable and well equipped. Thank you!
A really lovely property in excellent condition with first class facilities. The kitchen has a really high spec, it amazed us what it could do! Our only gripes were the very squeaky doors to the bedrooms and the motion detector lights in the bedrooms but it truly is a lovely property and we would recommend it at a drop of a hat. The views were stunning, especially from the hot tub

Beautiful location and everything we needed to have an amazing holiday with family from Canada ,so very special .
Communication excellent with hosts throughout.
Excellent property well equipped quiet spot, well equipped. Great location for exploring Yorkshire Dales especially Wharfedale.
Quiet, private location, comfortable and clean accommodation with plenty of outdoor space and pleasant views. Will be looking at returning.
We found the property an ideal base for the Yorkshire Dales, plenty of walking during our stay and the Hot Tub was a very welcome relaxation after a long day out on the hills.
Signal was fine, we did not miss having no Wifi as it helped stop us looking on line so much and unwind more
Loved our stay. Gorgeous house in beautiful quiet location. Lots to do in the area. Owners were very responsive and helpful. Multi generational group with dogs - we all loved it. Hot tub was idyllic with fabulous views and dark starry nights. We would definitely go back.

Thank you Anne for the lovely review .. your stay did have some challenges but you have been wonderful guests who coped brilliantly with the interventions. We would
love you to stay again and you haven’t
number so please call me direct
It was a wonderful property. Perfect for what we needed for an extended family get together as Laura has missed Xmas due to Ambulance Service night shifts.
The location was ideal for us and the house was very well equipped. On a sunny day the building did get warm, but open a couple of doors and some fresh Yorkshire air blows through. Skipton surprised me - what a lovely town.

Thank you David and family for staying with us . Thank you for mentioning the hanging space. I am in time changing over to wardrobes which will defo offer more space but in the meantime will look at other solutions
Many thanks Ann
The property was absolutely beautiful and impeccably clean. We had a hiccup on arrival courtesy of a fuse blowing but other than that we had a lovely weekend. The outlook was fabulous and the setting very peaceful
We travelled as a family with tow young children. The accommodation was excellent, very modern, clean and got everything we needed. The location is ideal if you want peace and quiet, but close enough to the small village of Embsay and a short drive to Skipton. We will be back.
Kirk Stables is a lovely modern renovation of an old stables in a beautiful setting. Property is as it shows in the photos. It's well supplied to get your stay started. Ann, the host was very responsive.
This is a beautiful property in glorious part of the country.
Everything you could possibly want is provided by the owners. There is also plenty of everything so no washing up every time you have a cup of tea or use a plate.
Communication with the owner is excellent and very informative.
A wonderful place to stay and I highly recommend it.
We had a lovely 2 night stay here, the house is beautifully finished with lots of space.
The hot tub was a very welcome addition and we made good use of the living space. Ann was brilliant at providing all the information in advance. My only slight request would be to have some larger pans, cooking for 7 with a small frying pan was quite tricky!! Thanks Ann, we hope to return.
A wonderful property in a great location to enjoy the wonderful Yorkshire Dales. The property had a good range of kitchen utensils etc.. and cook books. All bedrooms were a great size. The views and local walks were lovely and overall a wonderful base for my husband's 50th birthday while he walked drom Bowness to Ilkley ( we know its usually done in the opposite direction)
A group of 8 of us stayed recently to celebrate a 40th birthday.
The house was perfect for us, and had everything we needed for our stay. You could tell the hosts had taken time to think about everything you could need during your stay.
The location is beautiful; it felt isolated but was a short drive to Skipton making it very convenient.
Ann was a fabulous host and quickly responded to our questions and queries.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and wouldn’t hesitate to book again!

Great modern home with everything necessary to have a peaceful holiday
A group of friends and I stayed at Anns place for a weekend and had a beautiful relaxing break. It has all the amenities necessary. The bedrooms are a great size and there is a lot of living space. The garden is definitely fit for purpose and the hot tub is a great addition.
The communication was great, and they were extremely helpful with anything we needed.
Many Thanks
