Guests that stayed at this property said
The majority of guests found the cottage to be clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, contributing to a warm and inviting atmosphere. However, one review mentioned a smell of cigarettes, which slightly impacts the overall cleanliness score.
The location is consistently lauded for its tranquillity, proximity to local walks, and the picturesque Yorkshire Dales. The garden's views and the nearby wildlife are particular highlights, making the location ideal for a peaceful retreat.
Guests frequently describe the cottage as comfortable, cosy, and larger than expected, with a warm coal fire and comfortable beds. The overall comfort of the cottage is highly regarded, with only minor concerns about parking affecting the ease of stay.
While the cottage is generally seen as well-equipped and homely, there are some criticisms regarding the self-catering facilities and the lack of basic supplies like hand soap and spices. Issues with the fridge and microwave also suggest room for improvement in this category.
Several reviews mention thoughtful touches such as a Christmas tree and a burning coal fire upon arrival, which guests found delightful. However, as these gifts are not consistently referenced across all reviews, it cannot be guaranteed that such gestures are a standard practice for every stay.
About this property
Langcliffe 0.5 miles.
A delightful, old stone-built cottage situated close to the pretty Ribblesdale village of Langcliffe. Formerly the home of a mill worker, Locks Cottage stands at the end of a small row of traditional Dales cottages and is surrounded by peaceful Dales countryside. The setting is idyllic - the cottage overlooks an old mill pond and is close to the River Ribble as it winds downstream towards the popular market town of Settle. The cottage has been modernised, equipped and furnished to a high standard and enjoys lovely views over the garden and mill pond to the trees and hills beyond. There is excellent walking from the doorstep, not least along the riverbank. A wonderful base for a peaceful Dales holiday.
The village of Langcliffe sits in the Yorkshire Dales National Park, amidst stunning scenery and peaceful, rural tranquillity. Langcliffe has a large picturesque village green with delightful stone cottages overlooking it, and a beautiful old church dominates the village.It is only one and a half miles from Settle, a busy market town with a railway station, excellent shops and a variety of places to eat. Victoria Cave and waterfall is nearby, and for outdoor pursuits walking is an obvious choice and ramblers won't be disappointed with the many walks on offer, from gentle strolls to more taxing routes, providing something for all ages and abilities. Fishing is also available nearby and this wonderful area has so much to offer the holidaymaker, making it a fabulous year round base to discover the region's many attractions.

Highly recommend this location. Cottage was lovely and cosy. Lovely coal fire, great facilities, spacious and it was great to have access to a washing machine, fridge and there was milk in the fridge. Beds are comfy and it was great to have brilliant broadband. Easy to find and breath taking views from the windows. I would definitely book again.

Very clean comfortable and homely cottage with everything we needed. Location is excellent with several nice walks from the doorstep. Back porch area is good for coming in with muddy boots and lovely open fire for the evening. Icing on the cake was watching the mandarin ducks from the bedroom window! Would definitely come again.

We especially appreciated the cosy atmosphere when we arrived back at the cottage which warmed up very quickly. We would have appreciated a folder containing more information about rubbish collection, linen etc at the end of our stay. A few proper wine glasses would be appreciated also.
