We had a wonderful time at this cottage over the Christmas holidays. The house had been decorated and a wonderful welcome pack was there for us on arrival. The house was clean, warm and very well equipped. The location was perfect quiet but within walking distance from Silsden with a range of pubs and supermarkets.The communication with the host was very good.I would highly recommend this property. We will definitely be back!Thank you, Lynne

Would stay again.

The property was clean and well presented. Out in a quiet village but at the same time only 5-10 mins from a supermarket. Well stocked kitchen enabling meals to easily be prepared there. Host was friendly, welcoming and made sure we knew how everything worked.

Wonderful cottage and host

We have just spent 3 days in this lovely cottage. We couldn’t find fault at all. Lynne was so incredibly helpful from the moment of booking. The cottage is delightful with plenty of room for four adults. The cupboards were well stocked and we had absolutely everything we needed for our stay. Lynne even offered to get us anything we specifically needed before we arrived. Five star service!

Just Perfect from start to finish

We booked a long stay, with our 2 Dogs, as we were 'Between Houses' from mid November to mid January. The cottage is a lovely grade 2 listed 3 bed stone cottage full of character with wood beams and thick walls. Even with the Snow and very cold weather the cottage was very cozy.Kitchen has all the amenities and a well stocked cupboard.Our Host Lynne was truly fantastic and very helpful with anything we needed.The area is beautiful with the Leeds Liverpool canal a 10 min walk away and the circular walks from the cottage were inspiring. A 10 minute walk to the closest town (Silsden) has everything you need and is a picturesque Yorkshire town.If I could give 6 stars I would house, location, host, amenities were all excellent.Fully recommend this property and area but the property owner Lynne made it special, a real home away from home.

Lovely, comfortable cottage well situated to enjoy the Dales!

Our family recently spent a week at Brunthwaite Cottage and couldn't have had a lovelier time. The cottage was spacious, clean and well-equipped. It is conveniently located in Brunthwaite which is beautiful and quiet and well-positioned for accessing the Dales, and Skipton and Harrogate. Lynne and John (and Ollie, their dog!) couldn't have been better hosts--friendly, helpful and responsive. We look forward to our return!

AMAZING.

We have just returned from an amazing stay at Brunthwaite Cottage. Lynne met us on arrival and showed us around the cottage with it’s well stocked kitchen. The fridge was full of milk , butter wine, fruit juice and other breakfast goodies plus lots of coffee , tea etc. throughout the kitchen. It had everything you could possibly want for a stay and the dogs loved it too. We have stayed in many cottages in this area and this is by far the best. Such a comfortable place , just wish we could have stayed longer. Already planning and looking forward to our next visit.

Brunthwaite Cottage

This property is absolutely lovely and very comfortable. It could not be equipped any better, everything you need to have a really great stay. The kitchen is amazing with plenty of cooking utensils, crockery in fact, everything you would need. We were supplied with the basics, milk, bread, butter etc. and the owner even offered to do shopping prior to our arrival. Lynne was very friendly, bringing fresh baked scone to us on our second day. She was willing to help with anything we needed. She went above and beyond to make our stay incredible. She even delivered us an Anniversary card as we had mentioned it to her. Lynne, John and Charlie were the perfect hosts. Looking forward to visiting again.

PERFECT BREAK AT BRUNTHWAITE COTTAGE

We have just returned from a wonderful 4 night break at this lovely cottage. Nothing was too much trouble from the lovely owners Lynne and John who went above and beyond to help us plan and organise our trip. We were welcomed warmly by Lynne who showed us around the cottage and had even prepared some little welcome goodies in our fridge for us. They helped with advise of walks and local places/things to do, Lynne even went to the trouble to take my daughter and I to our horseriding lesson one morning which was so kind. The cottage was perfect for the four of us and our little dog, it was spotless and there were a great selection of games too! We would highly recommend a stay here and hope to be back soon. Thank you so much! Kelly, Dan, Emily, Harrison and Groot xx

Quiet edge of town spot

Clean, tidy, comfortable small house which we used as a base to see the southern Yorkshire Dales, walking etc. Lynne was a helpful host, made sure we had what we needed; smooth process etc. Property was comfortable and as described, plenty of info available on local area, restaurants, amenities. We didn't cook much at the house but found it easy to get clothes washing and drying done. SkyTV also available if you just want a quiet evening in. Silsden has a range of restaurants and takeaways if needed - short drive or 10 mins walk. We also ate out in Addingham; Ilkley and Skipton also nearby. Some great walking from here (incl. along the canal if you're not keen on hills), esp into the Dales and moors. Many local museums. Cliffe Castle had surprisingly wide content.

Beautiful peaceful get away

We had a fantastic time at the cottage which is located on the outskirts of Silsden. The cottage is in the country with just the sounds of sheep, cows and birds surrounding you. However it was only a few minutes drive to the town which had a major Coop and Aldi, some nice pubs, quick access to the major roads taking you to the tourist atractions nearby and plenty of take away and sit down restaurants which deliver to the cottage. We can recommend the purple garlic indian and George's Place chinese which were both superb, very generous portion size and great value. The cottage was very well equipped with an excellent kitchen and lovely lounge area. Lynne was a great host, welcoming us on day 1 and gave us some great suggestions for things to do. We would certainly be happy to stay here again and recommend it to our friends and family as a perfect retreat from a busy life.

Perfect holiday location

An excellent location, quiet and secluded but with everything you need located a short walk away in Silsden. Great walks in and around Silsden but also a short drive to Skipton, Bolton Abbey, Malham and Brimham Rocks.

Great location, well equipped accommodation but very creaky and no soundproofing

Lynne was a great host, the house was clean with everything you could need. The kitchen was beyond well equipped and the items left for our arrival, included a nice bottle of wine were a lovely touch. A really difficult review to write based on my giving 5*s for all the key elements. The issue we had was that the house itself had been constructed in a way that means really limited sound proofing between upstairs and downstairs and the upstairs floors creaked with every movement, even turning in bed in the night is noisy, even though we bought ear plugs to help! If you are a small family unit it's not such a problem perhaps but if not, eg we were with my aunt, then sitting in the lounge listening to someone upstairs run the bath, then get into the bath and then splashing about isn't great. All conversations downstairs could be heard upstairs too. Please take this review based on your own priorities, and if none of the negatives bother you then this is a really lovely place to stay.

A gorgeous cottage within easy reach of the Dales

This is a beautiful traditional stone cottage with clean, attractive interior, good sized rooms, a very generously stocked kitchen and equally generous number of towels and bathroom treats. We had a really lovely 4 days here, walking in the Dales and easily catering for five and relaxing in the lounge every evening. The high street is a 10 min walk away with lots of restaurants and local shops, including a very welcoming wine bar! And the house is super warm and cosy, with plenty of space for a family. The third bedroom does have a very low ceiling beam which makes it hard for an adult to stand up, so definitely more suitable for a child. But the house really is lovely and very easy to live in, I would highly recommend it.
