Cosy cottage, kind host, beautiful hills and moors, and great food around (especially the Farmers Arms in Muker). The perfect place for long walks.

Lovely cosy, comfortable and well equipped cottage with nice outdoor sitting areas. Beautiful location but the roads are not for the faint hearted or those who cant reverse!

Excellent cottage, very warm & cosy & very well equipped. Kitchen tiny but everything you could want is there! Theres a freezer in the front porch which isnt mentioned in the property description! The owner responded very quickly when we had a query.

The Cottage was beautiful. Incredibly well equipped, in such a gorgeous and tranquil location. The beds were all well appreciated by our aching bones (we completed quite a few decent walks, mixed with local coffee and cake of course!). This comfort combined with very quiet nights make for a rather wonderful deep sleep. The sound of the nearby riverRead more simply added to the ambience of the Cottage. There is a nearby pub - literally across the street - but our personal preference was the Farmers Arms in Muker. Around a 20 minute stroll away, with great food and a fabulous atmosphere. Hide

We had a very comfortable and enjoyable week staying in the cottage! The owner was so welcoming and helpful with local tips and had kindly left a bag of goodies for us! There is plenty of space. Everything had been thought of that you could possibly need- eg loads of equipment in the kitchen- and plenty of storage in the bedrooms. Beds very comfy.Read more It was also lovely and warm when we arrived, and it is well heated. Plus we enjoyed the novelty of lighting a cosy fire every night! We would definitely recommend Foss Garth cottage. There is a pub and shop across the road, and we recommend Hawes as a pretty town with plenty of little shops and cafes, a ten minute drive. Strongly recommend the Wendsleydale Creamery if you like cheese, we bought several varieties which were reasonably priced and delicious. Lots and lots of great walks nearby and the dramatic waterfalls in nearby Keld. Thank you to Pauline for a lovely stay. Hide
