“I've stayed in several Sykes cottages over the years and as a general all rounder Ashbanks has to come top of the list!”

It is quite a small property but so well designed and organised with absolutely everything you need for two people. It was clean, comfortable and cosy with the storage heaters supplemented by the log burning stove on an evening. It's reassuring that the owners are on the same complex and will help with any issues . It is well located for many beauty spots of which we visited Ingleton nature trail, Clapham, Malham cove, Settle and Kirkby Lonsdale. Nearer to home the geese, horses and mandarin ducks kept us entertained from the cottage window overlooking the river, fields and mountains. Highly recommended!

- Elizabeth, December 2024

Thank you for your lovely review. I am so pleased you enjoyed your stay here. Kind regards, Sue Property Owner
Susan September 2024

“Beautiful country spotless cottage, beautiful welcome from Sue, we were welcomed with a lovely lemon drizzle cake and ginger biscuits, with a cuppa as soon as we arrived, which was fab after a long journey, the cottage was a lovely beautiful view every morning, to look out too, lovely to see the animals , the dogs were adorable, the nights were really quiet, and peaceful, slept well, real comfy bed, lovely cosy evening lighting the log fire, all logs were supplied by Sue, who couldn't have been more helpful , this is a little gem of a place hidden away, romantic for us to have time to ourselves.”

Highly recommend this cottage holiday.

“Overall okay .”

A little tired in certain areas but the vistas from the windows certainly made up for this also I would suggest perhaps a word with the cleaner.

- Angela, September 2024
Nigel September 2024

“We found the cottage very cluttered, adding to hardly any work top space to do anything.”

Freezer in high cupboard above cleaning cupboard very bizzare!! Also not very clean: dirty curtains, cobwebs hanging and carpet stains Bathroom very dated & shower off taps (really!!!) We were very lucky with weather so spent a lot of the days away from cottage and eating out.

- Nigel, September 2024

Oh dear me! So sorry that you found the cottage not to your liking. You said how lovely it was when you arrived. I haven’t ever had such negative comments in 10 years of letting the cottage so it’s come as a great shock. Property Owner

We were made to feel very, very welcome by Sue and Ken..our stay was very relaxing and peaceful. I would have happily stayed in the cottage every day instead of venturing out as it was so nice.

We enjoyed seeing Ella the horse with her beautiful foal George, along with the dogs with their puppies and the duck with her babies too. Thankyou,

“We had a relaxing week at Ashbank Cottage.”

Sue, the owner was very helpful and welcoming. The views from the cottage were lovely. We walked every day and the weather was great for the time of year. We tried to catch Sue before we left but no reply when we knocked, although we knew that a clutch of duckling had arrived, a Black lab was about to welp and a horse was in foal, she must have been busy.

“Peaceful, comfortable and a great place for a break away from the pressures of life.”

The owners, Sue and Ken, are very nearby and make you feel at home during your stay. The view makes this place special too, looking over sloping fields with cattle, ducks, geese and the owners' horses and dogs. Whatever time of year you choose to go, enjoy it. We'll certainly go back even though it was a long drive from London - it is a different world.

“Great location & well appointed, lovely welcome pack & Sue (owner) on hand for any items/problems needed.”

The view from the mini patio out onto the fields with ducks, geese, mandarin ducks, black swans, the 3 gun dogs and a constant chorus of curlew made this absolutely what I wanted. The highlight for me was going up onto moorland (8 mins away) to sit and watch/photo a barn owl hunting.

- Chris, April 2021

A lovely welcome gift was left for us of wine chocolates and fresh eggs which was so nice. Was also nice and warm. The bed was lovely but squeaked alot every time we moved. thats the only one thing wrong. I strongly recommend this cottage. Had a lovely weekend there.

- Denise, June 2019
Donna May 2019

“We were left alone by the owners after the initial meet and greet.”

My only criticism is they made no effort to speak to us at the end of the holiday which i feel would have been a nice touch.

- Donna, May 2019
Tessa May 2019

“Although the cottage is situated among a small cluster of cottages some distance from any real village it did not feel remote.”

It was quite spacious and had a superb view through patio doors. In the ground below there were a pair of horses and 4 lovely dogs, and a never-ending display of bird life. We found plenty to do in the area, visiting the Pennine mountains, the lovely Forest of Bowland and by train to the north Morecambe Bay. It is close enough to Settle to take the famous train from Settle to Carlisle and at Silverdale, just beyond Carnforth, there is the RSPB Leighton Moss Reserve. We were blessed with superb weather which just added to a very enjoyable holiday. We ourselves are no longer able to do much walking but it would be an excellent base for walkers. There were no shops nearby and the closest pub was one and half miles away in Low Bentham. There was a welcome tray with half a dozen new-laid eggs to greet us. It proved an excellent holiday. Thank you.

- Tessa, May 2019

She even left us some free range eggs and some lovely cake. The cottage had everything you could possibly need. There was even free entertainment from the animals in the field outside. We had geese, chickens, horses black swans and 3 beautiful crazy dogs. It was so quiet and peaceful with really dark skies at night, the stars were so easy to see, it was great! We will certainly be returning.

“We adored our time in Ashbank Cottage.”

We took lovely walks and enjoyed the stunning countryside views.
