Ramblers Retreat Reviews

Rachael

Lovely cottage within walking distance to Settle and Giggleswick. Comfy bed and well equipped kitchen. Lots of good walks nearby.

Stunning cottage which is superbly equipped in a fantastic location. It is warm and cosy. Easily the best cottage we have stayed in. Will definitely return.

We loved this cottage. We have booked again for next year, The cottage itself is spacious and inviting. We got very cosy watching Netflix, after some of the most beautiful walks. A lovely river walk from the door and some a short drive away. The furthest we drove was 20 minutes. The kitchen has a double air frier, which was amazing I wont be taking mine next year. Spacious living room, comfy chairs and a a smart tv. Theres loads of books too. Some lovely little things, such as a basket of dog blankets, dog treats, the bedrooms are comfy and cosy. The hot tub was so good, set in a very nice garden area with a shielded space for the hot tub so you can enjoy it in peace. Theres a short walk, even shorter drive into the town centre, where theres shops, a chippy and a small coop. Also an Asda petrol station, where Amazon parcels can be delivered, if you forget anything A wonderful week away looking forward to going back.

Excellent accommodation. Very well maintained and the owner was very helpful. I would recommend this property for a relaxed stay. Excellent

This was our second stay here and it didnt disappoint. Chris was really helpful on our arrival due to the snow and did everything he could to make our journey easy. The cottage is really comfortable and very well equipped I cant think of anything to add that would improve the experience. Although we didnt use the hot tub this time, it is a real plus for the cottage.

What can I say? ! This place was just perfect. We arrived a couple of days before Christmas and it was decorated with a tree etc which was lovely. The owner had also left a card, a bottle of mulled wine and Prosecco too as well as milk, tea, coffee etc. We were instantly chilled and relaxed. The cottage itself is great. Very clean everywhere with supplies of dishwasher tablets etc and some cleaning products if needed. The bed was wonderfully comfortable and fluffy towels provided too. The kitchen is very well equipped which was great as I cooked a full Christmas dinner. We were very cozy as the heating is easy to use plus we used the log burner too which was so nice especially Christmas night. There was a small supply of logs to get you started but we had brought some with us. The hot tub is just sublime. We spent a lot of time using it with our music playing on the outside speaker also provided. The garden is nice and secluded so we didnt feel like we were a nuisance to anyone by being outside at nighttime. The owner also left flip flops to use but we had taken our own. There are so many lovely, homely touches that make the place extra special. The day before we arrived the owner called to see if we had any questions and he texted soon after our arrival to make sure all was ok. We stayed for 5 days and were sorry to leave. It really was the most magical Christmas in a beautiful place. Thank you.

Andrew

Beautiful cottage with all mod cons inside, lovely and warm and comfortable. Hot Tub is a huge plus within a lovely enclosed stone garden. Highly Recommend!

Absolutely loved the cottage. Great communication from the owner before we arrived and then checked everything was ok once we were settled. Everything has been thought about, dog treats, dog blankets, stair gates, Alexa!! Even Christmas decorations. Everywhere was spotlessly clean, and the kitchen was so well equipped. Bed was comfy. We would definitely return.

Absolutely lovely Ramblers Retreat for a quiet break away , The cottage was comfortable and clean and the living area upstairs was comfortable for relaxing with everything you need in the kitchen . Plenty of nearby walks of various lengths, short walk to the village even found a short cut After a day out walking there is nothing better than relaxing in the hot tub . All in all a 5 star getaway and perfect for having a chilled break .

We had a lovely stay at Ramblers Retreat, thank you! Everything was great from the bottle of fizz that was there on arrival, to the travel cot that was assembled for our little one The hot tub is a must as well! Thanks again, we hope to be back at some point

William

What a great little cottage every thing you need for a holiday the hot tub was a bonus just loved it

Darren

Loved the Ramblers Retreat. Perfect location, fantastic for the dogs, hot tub a real plus after long walks in the dales, cant think of anything that we didn't like, cant wait to return

Claire

Comfortable cottage with all the home comforts. Fabulous hot tub and enclosed patio area. Secure so no escape for Fur Babies. Great for a relaxing stay and to be used as a base for exploring.

We had the best stay at ramblers retreat, perfect location from shops and pubs, and perfect walks. The cottage had everything we needed and the secure garden was perfect for us having 2 young children and a dog. We all had the best time.

Lovely cottage with excellent facilities. The hot tub was a bonus at the end of the day. The location good, only short walk into Settle town centre. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend to family and friends.

Had a great week at Ramblers Retreat. Well maintained property with lots of space for a family of four. Loads of fantastic walks in close proximity to the house and the hot tub was a real bonus. Would be good if one of the beds was a twin instead, as would work better for families. Overall we had a great time and would highly recommend to anyone wanting to be close to all of the sites in the Dales.

Rodney

Nice property, a lot of money spent getting it in good order. Poorly described by Sykes, missing essential safety features. On a busy road with heavy traffic at peak times. Accessed from side gate with several steps down to the hot tub, then several steps up to the door and then staircase up to living area. Having said that, once inside it is very, very comfortable and a good spot to tour the Dales.

Robert

Very comfortable cottage with everything we needed. Beds super comfortable. Hot tub perfect for after a long walk! Cottage is finished to a high standard and very homely. Just a ten minute walk into the town for shops and places to eat. Garden small but totally secure for dogs.

Rachel

Weve just had a two night stay while participating in the three peaks challenge. The cottage was beautiful and we loved it!!! Everything you could possibly need, clean, well kept, stylish and very cute. Hot tub was a lovely bonus too! Close to the village and a 5 min walk to shops, pubs, restaurants, cafes etc. Excellent location. Owner was fab too very helpful and nothing is too much trouble a lovely welcome on arrival too!! Highly recommended and we will definitely be returning.

Amazing location and cottage plenty of things to do in surrounding areas too. The cottage had practically everything you could possibly think of and all the little touchs to make it homely would definitely stay there again

A very well presented cottage, well thought out to provide a lovely stay. Pleasant bedrooms downstairs, and a delightful kitchen and living room upstairs. Plenty of room for two adults, two large teenage boys, and two greyhounds to stay. Great hot tub too. We enjoyed the welcome prosecco, and the friendly owner was immediately in touch to check we had arrived okay and all was well.

Perfect

3 night stay at Ramblers Retreat and it just wasn't long enough. What a perfect hideaway, tucked right at the very edge of Settle. Turn right for a short walk into Settle Town, turn left to take yourselves straight into the most amazing countryside. The cottage itself is fantastic, seems like everything has been thought of, we both felt so comfortable that it was almost like staying in a friend's place and we were housesitting for them. The comfort, facilities, decor, layout....everything just suited us, within 5 minutes we felt so lucky we had plumped for Ramblers Retreat. Relaxing in the the hot tub with a black nightsky and a full moon right above us was all we needed to help us relax and make memories. Would definitely visit again. Thank you to the owners, spot on.

Lovely, well equipped and spotlessly clean

Very close to the centre, just a 10 minute walk. Some lovely pubs, especially liked the talbot arms. The owners are really helpful. Great weeks stay, spot on!

Absolute delightful

We stayed at the ramblers retreat in settle on 27th and 28 Januar, first impressions was very good, excellent to be honest, good parking outside, of the cottage itself has a lovely warm vibe to, bathroom is a high standard, bedrooms the same, the kitchen and living area is lovely, with a nice dining table, TV is Freeview play that you can use apps on, free WiFi and a strong signal, woodburner in living room and hot tub outside which just topped off a perfect stay, settle is nice town with lots of good shops, pubs and restaurant, there is co op and booths is close by, great walking trails and waterfalls, the watershed mill is worth a visit with a cafe, totally recommend the ramblers retreat, the owner even checked we found it ok, which was a nice touch. We would love to return

FANTASTIC

Stayed at Ramblers retreat in May 2022 for my birthday. What a fantastic cottage, every thing had been thought of, modern equipment a cosy comfortable bed along with a great nights sleep, nice up-to date walk in shower. The hot tub was so welcome after days out walking its so private and so nice to chill out even with nothing on with a glass of wine. The owner Chris was very informative and attentive especially with the bottle of prosecco and milk. We will definitely return to this bit of heaven and would very highly recommend Ramblers Retreat to everyone.

Fantastic

Stayed here a couple of months ago . Fantastic cottage in brilliant location. So good we?ve booked again

Wife's birthday

This is such a lovely cottage. There is nothing been left out. Very clean and done to a high standard. Will be booking again in the future. 15 minute walk into town where there are some lovely places to eat.

Christopher

Really clean & comfortable cottage with lots of appliances.

Lovely week away

Lovely cottage in good location. Literary in the middle of the countryside but not too far from town centre. Parking for your car. The cottage has everything you could need. Hot tub is a major plus for us and its totally secluded so no problems wanting to get in. All the pubs around do good food. We took our dog and was spoilt for choice of the amount of pubs.

Fantastic weekend what a beautiful place, do not miss out!

Had a lovely weekend, the cottage is beautiful and clean. You feel like your at home as soon as you get in there. The owners clearly are very clever as they have thought of absolutely everything you could possibly need. It caters not only for couples but for children and animals too which is truly amazing. The town of Settle is a 5 minute walk away with lovely pubs, restaurants and antique shops. The hot tub is a necessity if you want to chill out and relax. We will go there again in a heartbeat.

Fabulous Cottage in Perfect Location!

Wow what a fantastic cottage, everything thought of and lovely extra touches to make your stay totally relaxing and home from home. Me and my friend stayed with our teenage daughters, the hot tub was such a bonus and the girls didn't want to go home. The cottage is in the perfect location for walking and visiting villages, the short walk into Settle to eat out was great and highly recommend Sydney's wine bar fab food and cocktails. We would definitely recommend and can't wait to stay again, a credit to the owners 5?

A stunning cottage in a fantastic location

You can tell a lot of love and effort was put in to ensuring our stay was enjoyable and comfortable. We couldn't fault any aspect of our stay. Highly recommended and will definitely be returning.

Sandra

Fabulous cottage in a beautiful location. Every little touch thought of and lovely addition of the hot tub. Will definitely return.

Wow, loved it here!!

Brilliant accommodation. Cosy with everything you might need and more!!! Lots of extras that I wouldn't usually expect in a holiday home such as coffee machine and wine fridge. Great for cyclists too, we stored our bikes in the locked, secure storage available in the cellar (access from back garden so you don't have to trail bikes through the property) Really comfortable beds and pillows. Very clean, spacious and modern. The location is excellent too and the views, wow!! Very close to many tourist attractions and great walks. Some great places to eat and too. Would highly recommend this property and we will be returning again soon as would love to explore the area more.

Lovely cottage with great facilities. Very friendly and attentive owner in that they made sure we were happy and that if we had any questions or queries then to calltext them.

Jonathan

Beautiful property to chill out and lovely walks all around. Close to shops and pubs.

Very well equipped and comfortable cottage just a short walk from the centre of Settle. Felt really at home here. Fabulous walks right on the doorstep. Lovely hot tub.
