Really nice cottage - plenty of space for the two of us and nicely sized bedrooms. The kitchen was well stocked with utensils and had everything we needed. Everything was clean and tidy and host was communicative and very helpful. Would definitely visit again. (The Bridge Street Cottage)
A hidden gem in the heart of the Yorkshire countryside. Stunning views, a true glamping experience with incredible authentic Italian food, provided by two amazing hosts. Totally exceeded our expectations! Thank you for an unforgettable experience!
A delightful place to stay with two very warm, friendly and helpful hosts. The barn was beautifully converted, and once the fire was lit it was super-cosy in the evenings. The bed was warm and comfortable and the food (breakfast of delicious home-made bread and jam and evening meal of wonderful home-made pizza) was excellent. I spent most of my time in the pretty little garden, reading in the sunshine, but Emanuela had suggestions of walks nearby too. The location is so beautiful; quiet and rural with lovely views. I can't fault this place. Loved it.
Thank you so much to both Emanuela and Karen! They were such lovely hosts that were so thoughtful and went the extra mile. Both the hosts and the cabin were full of information that were really helpful with our travels. Amazing food, fantastic views and a super cosy night by the fire!
We stayed at Crackpot Cottage for our 10th wedding anniversary and this was the first time we have used air bnb so wasn’t sure what to expect but we needn’t have worried. From greeting us at the door Emanuela and Karen were so welcoming and happy for us to share their home. We enjoyed a pizza all homemade and a glass of wine on our first evening and the breakfast the next day was delicious also with homemade bread and ketchup. We were given advice on the best places to visit, local walks and where to eat which was really helpful. The room was lovely and clean, fresh towels, toiletries and anything else you need was all provided, our hosts were happy for us to come and go as we pleased, very accommodating. The location was wonderful, nice and peaceful which is what we were looking for and you can get to the nearest village within 10 minutes by car. A beautiful part of the Yorkshire Dales and such amazing hosts, would highly recommend Crackpot Cottage.
This was an absolutely stunning stay. The hosts were incredible, the cabin is beautiful and the property/garden/views and fire pit are sensational. This is experiencing Yorkshire in all its glory. The pizza, cheese board and breakfast were awesome with lots of home made/home grown produce used. Genuinely can’t fault this place. Great value, great hosts and will look to stay again! Thank you!
This lovely byre is the perspective location for a wholesome walking weekend, surrounded by beautiful Yorkshire countryside as far as the eye can see and adventure waiting round every corner. The hosts really did have the absolute most - everything we needed from maps to homemade pizza and ketchup. Thank you Karen and Emanuela for a truly lovely time. Joe and Phoebe x
My boyfriend and I stayed here on 10 July for a treat night away for his birthday. We were excited (and nervous) to see how we city birds would cope in the deep countryside with no electricity and nothing around us. However, it was one of the best nights away that we have ever had! From the moment we started driving through the countryside with the amazing views, we knew we were in for a treat! It was exactly what we needed to have a well-deserved break in our busy lives. The hosts are super welcoming and friendly and the cabin is very secluded at the bottom of their garden so it is super private! We opted to order some Italian food, homemade by Ema and my goodness ... IT IS A MUST TO TRY! It was super tasty and the free glasses of wine complimented the food so well. The firepit was a super lovely touch to have a few drinks around and the board games were an extra lovely touch. The cabin its self was very clean and cosy and the homemade bread, homegrown eggs and tea/coffee were a lovely touch. We can't wait to come back in the near future :)
Amazing place. So beautiful, peaceful and remote. The hosts were absolutely lovely. They explained where everything was, how it worked and made sure I had all I needed. Very accommodating and welcoming 😊 Would definitely return and stay longer next time!
Emma and Karen were incredibly welcoming and the location of Crackpot Cottage is to die for. Their home cooked pizzas are excellent and I can’t recommend the home grown onion chutney and ketchup enough. All in all a great place to stay for a week in the Dales.
