The cottage is in a great location, just a 10 minute walk to the town.. The cottage is very clean and the bed is very comfortable. Despite being located next to the road, there wasn't any road road noise at night.

A clean and well equipped cottage in an excellent location for the many attractions and walks that this part of the Dales has to offer.. From the cottage you can walk into and around Settle or take the train through splendid scenery or drive into magnificent scenic and walking countryside. We loved the cottage and surrounding countryside.

Mrs Titman, October 2019

August 2019

The cottage was warm and welcoming the flowers and starter pack was well received after a long Bank holiday journey.. The mill next door was ideal for getting breakfast and of course shopping. The owners had paid great detail to the pictures on the walls being of the area, the cottage was within walking distance to the town. The chip shop was also good with a eat in restaurant,shops open late for last minute groceries. The swimming pool was also a great place to visit. Settle railway was a great day out travelling to Carlisle, we also visited Kinsey park estate as Skipton which was great for children with a nature trail and small trout fishing area. We also visited the White Scar cave and when on the tour into the caves well worth it. But the best part of the holiday was returning to a warm and welcoming cottage to rest and plan the next days adventures. Thanks for a great time

Cottage was cosy and lovely and warm.. Shower was very efficient. Lounge was very nice and the seating was comfortable . Really liked the location; overlooking fields and the railway tracks (could view steam train on the Tuesday), easy walk into Settle . Having the cafe at The Mill next door was also useful.

Mrs Roberts

The cottage is in a perfect location between settle and Giggleswick, probably 5 to 7 mins walk either way It is adequately stocked with all the kitchen equipment you would need.. It is light and airy and at the time we stayed the weather was glorious so didn’t really need the heating apart from a little burst of the gas fire when we came back at night. But I would imagine it would be cosy and warm in the cold weather too. We enjoyed it that much we are looking to stay there again next year.

Mrs Simons

Mr Johnson

Lovely cottage on the outskirts of Settle.. Ideal for a car free holiday, just park up and walk everywhere if you wanted. Comfortable beds, lounge and a nice kitchen/diner. Though situated on a busy main road we didn't find the noise to be disturbing. If I was nit picking I'd say we missed not having wifi, but to be honest it was refreshing to disconnect to. Highly recommended and I'll certainly book again.

Mrs Symons

August 2018

The advert says end cottage but it isn't there is another which is on the end.. It's on a very fast noisy road, with no front or back garden , so stepping out of front door onto narrow parking area. We found the beds very hard and uncomfortable and sky light windows difficult to access and open in the bedrooms. Very nice touches of flowers milk and biscuits on arrival and very clean. The tv remote wasn't working the batteries hadn't been checked for a while and fridge light wasn't working either.

Mr Smith

We had a lovely welcome when we got there and there were flowers and cake left for us.. This was a beautiful cottage in a beautiful area.it suited us perfectly.the owners catered for everything we needed.we had no problems during our stay.there were lots of nice walks from the cottage.settle is a lovely place to stay and very dog friendly.we will use sykes again in the future as it was a straight forward booking and no issues.

A dear little cottage on the edge of Settle and within easy access to the Yorkshire Dales.. Returning on holiday from Australia often after 40 years living there, it was lovely to be comfortable in a homely atmosphere. May thanks to you, Sykes Cottages.......our 4th or 5th so far.

Mrs Smith

This is too near the main road which is a very busy road.. The cottage itself is good. Not good for dogs or children would be ok for adults. The dales are very busy at weekends with walkers cyclists and motorcycles all vying for the same bit of road. Settle is within walking distance and has a really good pub/hotel The Golden Lion great food and helpful staff.

We arrived at Settle station and walked for 10 minutes not knowing what to expect. Well we were blown out of the water, although this cottage is on a fairly busy road the traffic does not bother you. The cottage was clean and well furnished, everything you could possibly want.The beds are really comfortable.plenty of hot water and clean towels. The welcome pack and fresh flowers are a lovely touch. We have had a lovely visit and don't want to go home on Friday. The added bonus has been the glorious weather

Mrs Williams, November 2017

The cottage and location was exactly what we wanted.. Everything about it was excellent. Thoroughly recommend.

August 2016

Only reason I marked down on the description was that it's described as an end terraced cottage which isn't correct.. But it wasn't a problem. Made to feel very welcome by the owner with flowers, milk, tea, coffee and biscuits and lots of local info. Great location. Although on a busy road the walk to Settle and Giggleswick is safe and easy with pavements and crossing points. Only 10 mins walk to both places with pubs and restaurants.

In an excellent location, handy for Settle and Giggleswick while having parking immediately outside the front door. Had a good view of the Settle-Carlisle railway from the front too. It was very comfortable and homely with all the facilities you could expect. The owner was very welcoming, friendly and helpful. A perfect base for six days of excellent walking in limestone country with plenty of fine cafes and pubs.

August 2014

Ecellent location for walking and visiting the Dales. Ecellent well loved cottage everything you would want for a stress free Holiday. The only downside was that the property was advertised as End Terrace with a Garden. In fact there is another cottage attached to the end, the garden is therefore accessed by going out of the front door along the road to second gate. However this is not a problem if you are aware of this before booking the property especially if you have a dog. Having said this it would not put me off booking this lovely cottage again. Thankyou very much to the owners who were very welcoming and helpfull.

Being able to park and unload the car directly outside the cottage was a big plus, as was being in a convenient but peaceful location.. Cottage was spotlessly clean with great views from the windows. Friendly owners and welcome teabags, milk and biscuits provided. .

Mrs Storey

A lovely cosy cottage, with home from home atmosphere, comfortable and warm. Due to the cottage being excellent, it made the weather secondary. Perfectly situated. Owner very nice and welcoming.

We all loved staying in Settle! Some lovely countryside, lovely comfortable and homely cottage. The only mild thing was lack of washing machine/laundry facilities, we had some clothes that needed washing so was a little surprised there was not a washing machine! Anyway this aside I loved waking up to the country air and we felt relaxed throughout our stay. Thankyou for a lovely stay! We enjoyed Booth's supermarket and a range of restaurants we tried, the Indian was lovely and best fish and chips were served in the chippy on the main road!
