Heather Bank Cottage

Brilliant stay and would return in a heartbeat. Highly recommended.

Pros: Absolutely spotless and beautiful interior decor, high quality furnishings and kitchen ware. Stunning outlook across Sowerby and beyond.

Cons: Would have liked a proper shower rather than a shower attached to bath but no shower curtain etc

Heather Bank

Pros: It's a lovely house. 3 double beds. Beautifully decorated and lovely living areas.

Cons: It was a bit cold, with no heating controls. Also, there is only one bathroom and no shower in the beautiful bathroom. This is clear from the information, but more inconvenient than I'd expected.

Thanks so much! Would highly recommend

Pros: Lovely property, interior design was beautiful and it was very clean.

Cons: Only complaint about this property was there was only a bath, and you had to have a sit down shower as there was no screen.

Tasteful cottage in great location

Pros: A very convenient and attractively presented cottage which provided everything we needed for an enjoyable stay. Great views too! Highly recommended.

Cons: Like other reviewers, we did find the bathroom setup quite problematic—particularly for our group of four adults and a baby. With only a handheld shower over the bath and no screen or curtain, it took us a good two hours each morning to get everyone through the bathroom. This arrangement isn’t very practical, and we noticed signs of water damage to the bathroom floor and the ceiling below, which suggests previous guests have tried to use the handheld shower in a more conventional way. We were a little surprised the owners haven’t addressed this, especially as it seems to be a recurring concern and the current setup risks further damage to the property. There’s enough space for a more functional solution—perhaps even a shower bath with a proper screen—which would make a big difference for guests, especially larger groups or families. We’d happily return as a couple, but for now, we’d have to mark down slightly because of the bathroom situation. With that resolved, it would be an easy 10/10

Great family get together

Pros: Lovely decor & very comfortable. Well equipped. Near to the wedding venue. Nice views. All good

Cons: Would have liked a shower. Happy with a shower over bath but this was shower in bath. We managed though

With the towns and countryside of the West Riding on your doorstep, you’ll have more available to do than time available

Pros: Well positioned to travel into town or out to the countryside. Lovely rooms, fully functional kitchen and plenty of space to sit and rest or plan the next chapter of the days ahead.

Perfect base for our short stay.

Pros: Hosts were friendly & approachable without being intrusive. Perfect balance struck for us!

Cons: Some milk in the fridge when we arrived would’ve been nice, so we could have a cuppa after our journey before venturing out, but that’s a tiny inconvenience!

Pros: Excellent for our family of 5 adults Great beds,views and comfort.

Lovely property, helpful owners.

Pros: Spotlessly clean. Beds comfortable. Had everything you needed for stay!

Cons: Only handheld shower over a bath. Bath was beautiful however jumping in a shower much more convenient than using handheld.

A great place to stay.

Pros: Lovely homely feel to the house. Fantastic views over the valley below. The house had everything we needed and the hosts were very resposive to queries.

Cons: We all found the beds a bit uncomfortable which meant we didn't get a good night's sleep.
