Wonderful stay at The Bothy

We stayed for two weeks at The Bothy. We used it as a base to explore the Dales. We enjoyed seeing the local sights and villages. There are numerous sites to visit within one hour’s drive. Also, there are nice walks from the front door to visit Aysgarth Falls, Cauldron Falls at West Burton, and a longer walk to Bolton Castle. We found the cottage to be comfortable, including plenty of cooking utensils, good stove and a reasonable-size fridge. There was plenty of hot water for the comfortable bath and shower. The bed was comfortable. The small sofa was a little tired, but reasonable. The washing machine and dryer worked very well. Bothy cottage is on a working farm. There is also bird life in the area, including a white owl and the ever-present colourful pheasants. The owners live onsite and are not intrusive, but are there if one needs assistance. The scenery on this farm is very beautiful. Thank you for the lovely stay.

Yorkshire retreat

We had a good stay in early September, though the weather could have been better. Great walks from the bothy and easy drives in the area, Leyburn is a convenient stop and Campbell's was wonderful. We were somewhat disappointed not to have met or interacted with our hosts, but otherwise it was a good holiday.

Respite in the Dales

We had an absolutely wonderful time here. The Bothy was perfectly decorated and set up for a wonderful stay. The location could not have been better with the ability to walk to the Aysgarth Falls and Bolton Castle, and to embark upon longer drives and hikes throughout the Dales. We could not have asked for a better spot to stay.

Wonderful Stay at the Bothy!

My husband and I had 5 glorious nights at the Bothy and wished it could have been longer. Juliet and her husband were really helpful and accommodating, the apartment was lovely and comfortable, and quintessentially English, and we both fell in love with the sheep. The welcome was warm and the apartment had what we needed. We would not hesitate to return. Thank you Juliet!

Well placed for walking

Plus points…clean cottage, beautiful setting, comfortable bed and many walks from the doorstep. Constructive criticism…Property parking place well indicated, however the entrance to the cottage less so. Some signage would be useful. A pint of milk in the fridge would have been good , however there was nothing by way of a welcome. The garden needs some tlc. There was a bench from where there is a probably a beautiful view, however we couldn’t reach it as it it was so overgrown with nettles. These are small niggles. Don’t let them put you off.
