From the first message I sent to the host to the last message, the communication has been amazing! If I could have scored any higher I would have! Exactly as described and more, stunning property with wonderful decor to suit the stables! The surrounding area of the property, the fields, the decking and patio area is all set up lovely and very well thought through from the gardens to the rooms, bedrooms and bathrooms. It’s all very family orientated, all of the little things are very well thought through. We all loved it. It’s very modern and what’s even better is it’s disability friendly which was what I was looking for specifically!! Would definitely go back again!! Bonus was we got to see and meet the cows as the came for their dinner from and to the field that passes the property! The bath was also a star of the show for our family!
Seeing our new friends - the cows
The hot tub and views from our bedroom
The amazing bath as my son is desperately waiting to use it!

Lovely stay in quiet location

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

Perfect weekend getaway

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.

Private and cosy

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.

Stunning Property

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.

Would highly recommend

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.

Dales Way 50th birthday celebration

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)

40th Birthday Stay

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!

Fantastic family break

We had a wonderful few days at the lodge. Lots of room inside and out to accommodate all the family. Plenty of glasses, serving dishes and everything you need to cook for a larger group. We enjoyed family meals around the large table and also enjoyed the BBQ and breakfast on the outside seating area. Adults and children enjoyed watching the wildlife in the field, listening to the owls from the hub tub of an evening. Honestly everything has been thought about to make a family break easy. We will definitely be back.

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

Perfect

We are a group of ladies all over the age of 40. We go away on our annual weekend away to chill and have fun. This year we stayed at the stables and it definitely didn’t disappoint. The rooms were large and very clean and had everything you need . The kitchen was utterly amazing in fact it had more in the kitchen than my house, I didn’t want to leave. The views out of every window were amazing. I have several communications and the owner and she was such a lovely lady I’m so helpful. I will definitely recommend this place to anyone.

Perfect holiday home for a great family holiday

This holiday home was absolutely perfect for our family holiday and didn’t disappoint on the ‘wow factor’. The house itself was clean and well laid out for socialising, with a great amount of space and facilities. The outside area was a huge bonus. The hot tub was a luxury addition and the paddock was good for outdoor games! We visited loads of great places and the house is ideally located for some really nice days out (Steam train breakfast, Brimham Rocks, Bolton Abbey, Fountains Abbey, Wensleydale Creamery and lots more). Billy Bobs was a nice last day breakfast location too! The house was private and quiet with loads of parking for our 3 cars. The only downfall was we only stayed for one week and we would’ve loved another couple!!

Superb!!!

From the moment we booked the owner (Ann) made sure we felt welcome. Ann couldn’t have been more helpful and accommodating from recommending places to eat and things to do to making sure the house was ready for us. She even put up a Christmas tree and decorations. The home was exactly as described and everything was in good working order. Embsay is a lovely little village and the pubs make you feel very welcome and serve good food at good prices. Skipton is a short drive away and is a very pretty town with a nice array of shops etc. We took our dog with us so managed to walk around the village and surrounding area and the views are stunning. Would highly recommend but please don’t book Christmas just in case we are able to return!!!!

Family get-together

My family so enjoyed their stay at Kirk Stables. First off, Ann went above and beyond to help us get to the property without mishap, as, coming from the States, both driving on the left and the Yorkshire area were new to us. I am so happy we chose this location as the area is beautiful and the house has a breathtaking view. The picture does not do the house justice. The house was also well equipped and we were able to make some great meals for our British friends. We also enjoyed eating out at two local restaurants in the village. The only item we could have used is a drip coffee pot for fresh-brewed coffee. We would certainly come back to Kirk Stables if the opportunity presented.
