Guests that stayed at this property said
Reviewers frequently highlight the cottage's cleanliness, with several describing it as the cleanest and freshest they've stayed in. The absence of any negative comments on cleanliness supports a near-perfect score.
The location is highly praised for its quietness, proximity to local pubs, and as a base for exploring the Dales. The village's friendly community and accessibility to walks and sights contribute to a high score.
Comfort is a recurring theme, with guests finding the beds comfy and the cottage cosy. A few comments suggest the lounge might be small for four people, but overall, the comfort level is rated highly.
Facilities are generally well-regarded, with mentions of a well-equipped kitchen and the convenience of an air fryer. Some guests suggest minor improvements, such as a smaller casserole dish and a sturdier mat, but these do not detract significantly from the overall positive feedback.
While guests mention a welcoming Christmas hamper and a compiled welcome pack, there is insufficient information to determine if such thoughtful gestures are a consistent offering. Therefore, a score cannot be provided, and it should be noted that such gifts are not guaranteed.
About this property
Tucked away from the hustle and bustle of the main road, in the Wensleydale village of West Witton, is number 10 Old School Close. With access to the Wensleydale Hiefer gastro pub, just a 2-minute walk away and the Yorkshire Dales right on the doorstep, enjoy a well-earned holiday to go as a couple or for small families. The entrance hall leads through to the living room, which is flooded by natural light streaming through the bay window. Wrap yourselves around the warmth of the open fire and use the dining space to eat your home cooked meals at. The ground floor is complete with a nicely appointed kitchen to the rear and a cloakroom. Upstairs the master bedroom boasts a king-size double bed with views over the stone-built village and the twin (zip/link) bedroom overlooks the cul-de-sac. This is the ideal setup for families, couples and friends alike. They are both served by the family bathroom, where you can refresh under the shower after a day exploring the luscious green countryside and surrounding fells. The exterior of this cottage benefits off-road parking, a small, enclosed front garden and a rear, enclosed patio, where you can sit out on a warm summer's evening with your favourite tipple. West Witton enjoys two pubs, one of which is award-winning, along with a well-appointed shop and verdant green. The commanding ruins of Bolton Castle tower over the surrounding Dales, on the northern fringes of the village. And nearby, Aysgarth Falls offer lovely woodland walks and cascading waters. There is so much to see and do in the area, making this an excellent base to choose for your next walking holiday in North Yorkshire.
West Witton is situated in the Yorkshire Dales National Park, between Leyburn and Hawes and is made up of stone-built cottages and farmhouses. It enjoys views of Penhill and its limestone scars, along with Bolton Castle, countryside and the surrounding fells. There are two pubs, as well as a well stocked village shop and a pretty green. Leyburn has a wide range of amenities and weekly market, Middleham boasts its Norman Castle, and the Aysgarth Falls are just a short drive away.

Consequently the beds had not been change, there was leftover food in the fridge. The cleaners arrived the next day and sorted everything, could not fault them. The cottage itself was excellent and the facilities were great. We feel the error was the booking agent who did not inform the cleaners.
