We had a wonderful stay at Suzanne and Ian's place! The flat is spacious, peaceful, and spotless, making it a perfect retreat. Suzanne and Ian were incredibly welcoming and quick to answer any questions we had, which made us feel right at home. They also gave us some excellent local recommendations! We loved exploring the area, with plenty of great walks to do nearby. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and we’d definitely stay here again!

The studio apartment was lovely and perfect for what we needed for our long weekend!

Carolyn was a fantastic host and made the whole process a breeze, thanks again!

Ben's place was lovely. The area is very quaint and quiet with two pubs in walking distance and a local shop for emergency supplies. it's also very close to Holmfirth which has plenty of restaurants and some night life, and also some lovely walking areas. the cottage itself was really cosy, and the shower especially was really powerful which is always nice to have after a long walk!

'Little Grebe' - A Fishermans delight.
We have had another amazing stay at Little Grebe! We went for New Year on the last visit so decided to try Summer and it was just as fantastic. The contrast between summer and winter on the Lake was amazing with the different things to see and just as stunning, if not more. We went for peace and quiet again and that is just what we got! We have found our little haven, have no desire to look for anywhere else to stay for a relaxing break and are just organising to go back again. I will comment on the fishing although I am not a fisherwoman.....my partner was blown away by the fishing, to the point I didn't see much of him for the time we were there unless he wanted feeding and watering!!.........would highly recommend.

Great accommodation - nice apartment with river view, very nicely furnished, comfortable and central location. Enjoyed our stay - thanks very much
Condo in Burley in Wharfedale
4.97 out of 5 average rating, 35 reviewsLuxury apartment on river Wharfe, Ilkley.
A spacious, sumptuous apartment, finished to a high standard with all mod-cons, and the added bonus of outside space. The sizeable balcony is a great place to enjoy a morning cuppa or a sun-downer whilst enjoying the peace, and listening to the river across from the apartment. An ideal base for exploring Yorkshire. One point to note, take your own shampoo. Although this is listed as an amenity there wasn’t any provided, and we had to pop to a nearby shop to buy some. During a brief chat with the owner he confirmed this is something they don’t provide. For the price point, it would have been nice to have this provided. All-in-all, a great stay and would recommend.
Condo in Thirsk
4.86 out of 5 average rating, 69 reviewsLovely apartment by the river with parking space
Roger's place was perfect for a weekend in Thirsk. The square was a 5-minute walk, with restaurants and grocery stores easily accessible. I loved being on the 4th floor with treetop views; getting to watch the many dogs romping in the near-by greenspace was a bonus. Everything was clean and comfortable, and access was easy. My taxi driver and I were a little confused trying to find the Mews, but we figured it out quickly enough. Highly recommended!

A great place to stay, Oder and clean and fantastically close to everything just being a short walk over the bridge. Great views over the river. Parking space a little tight although once the car was parked left it there for the duration.
