Lovely quirky little cottage with a beautiful garden and view. The cottage had everything we needed. We loved watching the race horses trotting past each morning. Good location to explore North Yorkshire.

Extremely comfortable and perfectly quirky fortnight stay at this delightful cottage. Fabulous host on hand to help with any local enquiries! Everything you could want for a tranquil break from home and a great gateway to the delights that Yorkshire has to offer. Can I move in please???

Nothing went wrong, it was just that the instructions about parking my vehicle were misleading.. On arrival in Middleham I left my vehicle in the square and walked in under the archway as instructed in order to ascertain that I would have enough turning space for my vehicle, which is rather large, and naturally I expected that this would be where I was to park my vehicle for the duration of my stay. My host then explained that I had to drive down the main road and follow him as he was on foot. In all fairness, he did say that I was welcome to park in this lovely area with its trees and plentiful parking but it would then involve a walk down to the property, not convenient if one were carrying heavy bags. He then stopped in the road opposite the cottage and stood pointing to a small parking space at the end of a lay-by where several vehicles were already parked. This was to be where I was to park. Fortunately, I only experienced difficulty in finding this space empty once during my stay, but I would point out that it was a public car parking area and not a private allocated space as inferred in the property details and having to park there, whilst convenient for the cottage, was not as I had been led to believe from the details that had been supplied to me.

Such a lovely location Roger and Hilary were the perfect hosts.. Beautiful roundhouse. And a bottle of commentary Red wine was a perfect touch. Everything was perfectly on point.

What a wonderful find in a lovely setting, walking great 2 walks straight from cottage.. Plenty of places to eat in village. Brilliant to see horses racing on gallops and returning to village each day. Owners could not have done more and always had time to talk in spite of being extremely busy. Will definitely return. Thank you.

This was a week long stay over xmas, fantastic little place on the edge of Middleham but very close to the various pubs and shops, the cottage is unique in the way that it is round and very spacious, as this was a visit out of season we were a bit worried as to whether it was going to be warm enough....no problem at all it was very warm with a wood burner and electric radiators, the kitchen is very well equipped with all the mod-cons including a dishwasher, the bed was very comfy and bedroom was very warm too, on arrival we were greeted by the owners who helped us in with our bags and advised us on the local area and then proceeded to show us around the cottage and a nice touch was a bottle of wine along with a xmas tree to make it more seasonal, nothing was too much trouble for the owners, we had a great week and would love to come back and explore more in the summertime, we will defiantly recommend the Roundhouse to others...Thanks for a great week. Gordon & Jeanette - Norwich

This was a break over christmas which we have never done before, from the moment we met the owners we knew this was a winner, he help us with our baggage then proceeded to advise us on the area bearing in mind it was xmas week and somethings were already closed up.. The cottage itself is a gem, a bottle of wine on arrival, very warm with a wood burner and electric radiators, dishwasher, oven, toaster etc, we would love to visit again in the summer months as the general area is really lovely, a nice little touch was a small Christmas tree to make it more seasonal, thanks to the owners we had a great time.

Had such a lovely 3 days staying at the round house. Richard & Hilary are brilliant hosts. Nothing is too much trouble for them. The place itself is immaculately clean. The kitchen has all the equipment you could need. The dishwasher is a great feature. No pot washing is a bonus. Log burner is lovely and cosy, and does kick our lots of heat. The grounds are beautiful, fresh vegetable patch which Hilary kindly let us help our selves too. Seating area on the patio outside is great for your morning cuppa, watching the sheep graze in the opposite field. Even in the cold! The village has a few nice pubs, a quirky little team room (they sell good scones) and a village store, you can get extra fire kindle here. Would defiantly re visit this place.

Amazing holiday accommodation, the owners Rodger and Hilary Murray couldn't have .... Amazing holiday accommodation, the owners Rodger and Hilary Murray couldn't have been more helpful, so much to see and do in the area, we will be going back

A most romantic and quirky and beautiful cottage, complete with a fireplace (and thank heavens... a dishwasher!!). The place was very clean and came complete with all the modern amenities. We were so in love with the cute fireplace, that we barely used the TV or the wifi! After three days with the sheep, the greens, the quiet and the amazing pubs all around, we really did not want to leave. Absolutely amazing!

We have just returned from a wonderful weeks holiday in this quirky but very comfortable cottage. Although small it has everything you need for a relaxing holiday for two. Set in a walled vegetable garden with its own allocated private patio, it is very peaceful and quiet. The owners are really helpful and friendly and can't do enough to ensure you enjoy your stay. Local pubs, restaurants and a traditional country shop are two minutes walk away and it is within an hours drive of most of the local tourist attractions.

The Round House is in a quiet location overlooking farmland with grazing sheep. The stables were close by and it was wonderful to hear the clip clopping of horses. There was beautiful countryside on your doorstep with good shopping, restaurants and pubs very accessible. Would certainly stay here again.

In a good location so didn't have too far to travel to many of the walks available in the area. There was a pub a few minutes walk away which served very good food and had welcoming staff. A high standard of accommodation with good quality furnishings etc. A warm welcome received from the owner of the property, he gave us plenty of information about the area and the best places to eat.

The Roundhouse is a perfectly equipped cottage for a relaxing break. It's location within walking distance of Middleham's many pubs as well as its proximity to all the Dales has to offer makes for a perfect retreat. The owner is a superb host settling us in with local knowledge but without fuss.

Very central for travelling around. We were in an area we had not visited before. We would come to the same place again.
