Amazing setting with wonderful views. So lovely to get away and enjoy such a peaceful location. Cottage had a good homely feel to it and was good to have the fire on in the evenings after a day's walking. Not too far from Askrigg or Bainbridge pubs and cafes. A return visit is definitely on the cards.

Lovely quaint well equipped cottage in a fantastic location. Couldnt fault it inside. The garden unfortunately really let the property down - it was completely overgrown, nothing like the pictures - the grass looked like it hadnt been cut for well over a month and made the garden unusable as it was so long. Such a shame, but easily fixable with regRead moreular maintenance. Hide

Historic old cottage next to operational farm, lovely cows as neigbour. Great views from garden on surrounding hills, visiting birds and deer. Perfect location for exploring the Dales and perfect hiking opportunities.

A lovely house in a remote location but not too far from the villages and towns. We had a comfortable holiday and enjoyed the wildlife both around the house and in the local area.

If youre looking for bright lights, try star gazing. If youre after loud music, try the dawn chorus. If you cant get by without gadgets, try enjoying the natural wonders that surround Lukes Cottage. A delightful property for all generations, and the dogs will love it too.
