1A Lower Croft Street

Lovely cottage in heritage quarter of Settle- definitely one of the best

Pros: Small ‘worker’s cottage’, tastefully renovated/ repurposed to make excellent accommodation. Enclosed log stove has to be the best we have come across; highly efficient. This part of town is very quiet and picturesque; just a few minute’s walk to the very adequate Co-Op supermarket (firewood available) and a little further to the larger Boothes supermarket. Able to do a number of country rambles direct from the house… highly recommended. Don’t really know about the parking- we travelled without a car and felt this worked well as we were able to walk from the door plus had the option of one-way walks using the railway and bus service. (BEWARE- this is v much a heritage property- anything in this category is likely to have steep stairs!!- I definitely like the historic nature of the building as a big plus, but this may not suit mobility impaired!)

Cons: The cottage is great and communication with host great, but…. We booked from overseas through booking.com and paid in full. Almost immediately received an email demand from the local managing company, Sykes for an additional 96.19 UK pounds to be paid to Sykes on the same day to secure the booking. Sykes provided a phone number which we called but this leads to 3 options: ‘New Bookings’, ‘Existing Sykes bookings’, ‘Bookings through a 3rd party partner’ such as booking.com…. Selecting the option for 3rd party bookings we were placed on hold… gave up after 10 minutes and tried again later. And again. And again. Eventually selected the ‘New Bookings’ option, which was answered immediately- however the agent was only able to transfer us to a line for 3rd party bookings… gave up on this one after another 20 minutes on hold. Eventually called booking.com and explained- they tried phoning on the numbers they had but also could not get through, however promised to email Sykes to clear things up. Evidently this worked- next day we received confirmation of our booking (but no apology for the confusion)… also received multiple other emails from Sykes- eventually 18 in total. So many emails that it was difficult to sift through and find which one actually had the key pick-up instructions. Really, 18 emails and not one of them including an apology… So, I would definitely recommend the house….. but recommend the owner give serious consideration to their management options!

Very comfortable and enjoyable stay in Settle

Pros: Very comfortable with good amenities and close to town centre. Well equipped cottage, look forward to returning.

Cons: Parkin g is restricted in this area of Settle as narrow streets.

Lovely cottage in a perfect location for exploring this part of Yorkshire

Pros: Cute little cottage overlooking a green. Small but with everything you could need for your stay. Nice walk into the town for pubs and restaurants.

Cons: The description was a bit confusing. We never did find the garden!

Relaxing and a great base for exploring by public transport.

Pros: Views from the bedroom are lovely. Woodstove was great for chilly evenings (and more interesting than most of the stuff on TV!).

Cons: Clearer instructions about the location of the front entrance.

Superb accommodation, we will be back!

Pros: The cottage has a really cosy feel, we went in summer, but I can imagine the wood burner fire up in winter and it being the snuggest of places to be. The bed is massive and super comfy and there's all the kitchen is kitted out so you can cook. The location is brilliant just a few minute walk from the town. A great spot to hit the dales on foot or use as a base to drive around and explore this amazing plaxce.

Very enjoyable

Pros: Very comfortable stay. Dryer was a god send. Great location. All the amenities you could want for and a stunning log burner

Cons: Nothing.

Pros: This is our second stay as we liked it last time. Clean, warm, quiet and cosy. We didn’t meet the owners but we briefly messaged and they seem nice.

Cute, quiet cottage amongst village life.

Pros: Location of property is great. Easy stroll to town, has a great feel to experience the local village life. Cute cottage and comfortable for smallish dimensions, clean and quiet.

Cons: Parking. If you strike it right there is parking just down from cottage on a hill which can be a challenge to reverse park into. Otherwise parking further down the street and a short walk back to cottage.

Cosy cottage stay

Pros: Beautiful old cottage in an amazing peaceful location yet a short walk from city centre. Very comfortable bed. The bottle of wine and welcome card was a nice touch. Well equipped kitchen and good shower.

Cons: Nothing really. The sofa wasn’t super comfortable but apart from that all was good

Perfect 3 peaks location

Pros: Location, cleanliness was epic. Beautiful place with everything you need

Cons: Loved it all. One thing I'd add. Please let future guests know the neighbour is a lovely lady with Alzheimer's and if you park outside will come and moan. Be nice, apologetic and appease her. It's not her fault and it would be very easy to argue and fall out.
