Reviews
"Carn Cottage is a cosy home away from home, just right for two people. It has been well furnished and has everything you need for your stay. The only downside is that the parking is a little tight. Bryan, the owner, is very welcoming and full of useful local knowledge to help you make the most of your stay. Whether you are walkers or general visitors, the area has something to offer everyone. If you want a gentle walk try Kirkby Lonsdale, about a half an hours drive away, going from Ruskin's view down the Radical steps along the river to the Devil's bridge. Then you can enjoy a hearty lunch in one of the local eateries."
"A lovely place in lovely surroundings Bryan was great on arrival, giving us advice on walks, local eateries, the area in general, he was great The cottage is just off a main road in a quiet village, the village itself is beautiful but the road is very traffic heavy The garden backs onto the road but it's bordered by a late fence/ hedge that stops a lot of the noise, it didn't spoil the " sitting in the garden relaxing " element! The village had 2 pubs, we ate in the boars head and the dessert ( chocolate fudge cake ) was unreal, the local post office has a shop in it which sold everything ( all kinds of booze! ) It also had a small alleyway beside it with charity stalls selling books and dvds and console games, we bought a DVD to watch and some books and they just ask for a donation Plenty of lovely walks that can be started from the property without driving anywhere we did drive to faizor and malham for a couple of walks, both fantastic Can't recommend the place, cottage and village, enough Cottage was extremely clean, and the bed was really soft and cosy Can't recommend it enough For anyone who enjoys walking, Bryan the owner has put together a file of nearby walks, with maps and photos, really impressed us and was really helpful 10/10"
"loved this place and plan to return. Quirky with living space upstairs to give advantage of the countryside views. Real fire and comfy cottage with benefit of parking and Wi-Fi. Local pubs and a shop/post office. Good base to visit the Dales"
"Comfortable cottage for a couple to explore the dales. The owner Bryan was very informative on arrival, and also recommended a local garage to sort a problem with our car. We had a very enjoyable holiday on our first visit to the Yorkshire Dales."
"We stayed for 3 nights and it was a very comfortable stay, the cottage had everything we needed. We was made to feel welcome and felt we could ask the owner anything if we needed. The cottage had several walks that you could use, book of attractions excellent wifi and most importantly fantastic views. The cottage was clean and the open fire was a good for a cosy night in. Just a short walk to a good pub and a village shop this the perfect place to stay."
"Cottage was set in a quiet location in a village with good amenities.It was ideal for a relaxing break.The cottage was warm and homely and an ideal base for exploring the local area."
"We stayed here for four nights and had a wonderful time. Couldn't ask for a nicer home away from home and a warm and friendly host. We'll be returning as soon as possible. "
"This was our second visit to Carn Cottage, and we intend to make another visit. It really is very good and the location is great."
"We had a fab week at this lovely cottage. Just right for two people. Carn Cottage is very clean, cosy and warm. There's plenty of space, the open plan nature gives this impression. Ensuite bathroom was impressive. Bedroom was again spacious with enough wardrobe space, and a useful space in which to put suitcases. Living area was airy with a lovely warm wooden floor. Kitchen was fine, you couldn't cook a Sunday dinner there, but it was adequate for a week stay. The cottage is great as a base to see North Yorkshire. A stone's throw from the Settle to Carlisle railway's Long Preston stop. Lot's of walks around the village. Even fresh eggs from a local farm, with an honesty box! The owner, Bryan, was very welcoming and helpful, and there if needed. We would definitely return."
"We stayed for 1 week at this gorgeous cozy cottage. It has everything you need for a lovely stay including really good heating, which is a plus point if you're soft southerners like us! The cottage is small but perfectly formed with a huge bedroom downstairs plus lovely ensuite with large walk in shower, then upstairs is a large open plan living room/ kitchen. The location is great for exploring the dales, with the railway station only 10 mins walk away from the cottage & malham cove only 8 miles. It's also only short drives to Skipton grassington & lots of other lovely dales villages & towns. We also drove to Harrogate, only 30 miles, which is a stunning spa town & we'll worth a visit. There are also loads of beautiful walks that you can do from the cottage. We would definitely stay here again."
"We have used Sykes Cottages several times because of the quality of their accommodation and Carn Cottage was no exception. We chose the area so we could explore the Forest of Bowland and also the Dales. We found the cottage very clean, cosy and had everything we needed. We met, Bryan, the owner who gave us great advice on the local area and places of interest to visit. He couldn't have been friendlier or more helpful. We had a great holiday and hope to return to Carn Cottage in the future."
"We have just returned from a weeks stay at Carn Cottage. Upon arrival Bryan the owner gave us an introduction to the cottage and local amenities.The cottage was cosy beautifully clean and had all the facilities we required for walking holiday in the Dales.The two pubs in Long Preston were well worth a visit both for their food and hospitality."
"Had a great holiday at Carn Cottage, the owner Bryan is a lovely man who is very helpful and friendly. The cottage was great, home from home. I would recommend this cottage to any couple who are looking for a relaxing or walking break, close to Harrogate or if you wish every Wednesday you can go on the steam train to Carlisle with lovely scenery, train leaves from Long Preston. Two restuarants within Long Preston so no need to take the car if you wish to sample the excellent Yorkshire Real Ales."
"just got back from a lovely relaxing week at carn cottage can't praise bryan the owner enough for making our holiday so nice lovely clean and tidy and good base for the dales also good walks right from the door would highly recommend "
"Great property with excellent views of the Dales , everything you need is on hand. The holiday starts with a very informative brief from the owner Bryan who also has a very good sense of humour and really makes you feel very welcome and ensures that you have an enjoyable holiday. Two pubs within walking distance,our preference was the Boars Head with very professional and friendly staff who serve excellent food at a reasonable price. We visited Malham Cove and with the help of RSPB wardens they allowed us to view the resident Peregrine Falcons through their powerful binoculars and then pointed them out when they were in flight ..an experience not to be missed ! Other walks included Ingleborough estate and Cave again well worth a visits as is Aysgarth Falls and a pint in the pub in West Burton one of the prettiest villages in The Dales. If your eating in then try any local butcher and buy locally bred Lamb or Beef , you won't taste anything better anywhere !! A great host and cottage."
"Everything we had read about Carn Cottage proved to be true. It is clean, comfortable, well-equipped (good, large shower) and the owner, Brian, who lives next door, was extremely helpful. Our only problem was linking up to Wi-Fi, but that could have been our fault! The village has a useful shop and two pubs serving reasonable food, although we preferred the Plough at Wigglesworth two miles away. Places we visited and enjoyed were: Harlow Carr and Harrogate, Malham, Bolton Abbey (lovely walks along the river), Linton (walk up to Grassington or along the river), Skipton Castle and Kirkby Lonsdale. For the more energetic there are details in the cottage of numerous walks around Long Preston. It all made for a most enjoyable week."
"We spent a week at Carn Cottage in early April. A delightful, comfortable cottage, just the right size for two. We loved the quirky upside down setting and that it had plenty of space. Great views as well. The cottage is extremely clean and well furnished, with everything you might need for the week. The owner Bryan, who lives just next door, was very welcoming and friendly, with some good suggestions for trips in the area. Parking was tight, but do-able. Just remember it's the first cottage on the left as you turn in. We found lots to do in the area - great walks and places to visit. The village itself has two good pubs and a village shop which was enough for us; plenty more shops and a good supermarket a few miles away in Settle. We would certainly be very happy to return to Carn Cottage and explore the area further."
"We had a brilliant time, with a very warm welcome by Bryan who also recommended loads of local attractions. The cottage itself is really cosy, especially with the coal fire going. The facilities were great for the few occasions we cooked in and the location is brilliant for a range of activities. We really enjoyed Skipton Castle, Bolton Abbey & White Scar caves as well as some of the local walks and lots of the local pubs. Just note that the cottage is the first on the left - heading too far down the lane might get tricky (since it narrows to about 6ft wide)."
"The cottage was a comfortable hideaway for a week. It is well equipped - having the use of a gas cooker was great - and very clean, but the best thing of all was the real fire, which kept us warm and created a great atmosphere. The property is also well situated, within easy reach of the local railway station, bus stop, village shop and two pleasant pubs that serve reasonable food. Places to visit in that part of Yorkshire include Skipton Castle, the Keithley and Worth Valley steam railway and the Hellifield peel tower, which is now a fancy guest house whose restoration and converstion featured in a memorable edition of Channel 4's Grand Designs. The cottage could be a little cold at night - we were there in January - the water pressure in the the shower was a bit feeble and the wifi seemed to come and go. Those were the only weak points. On the other hand, Bryan, the owner was a very friendly and helpful host who made us feel truly welcome. He lives next door, so he is easy to reach if you need him."

"Our stay at Carn Cottage was very comfortable,clean and well maintained. Host was very helpful and very informative. Good location to use the bus,train,your feet and your car.The countryside is breath taking in this area."
"Compact accomodation with good access to village facilities."
"A very comfortable, new, warm cottage for two. Kitchen on small side but adequate. The large bedroom downstairs allows lovely views from up stairs sitting room. Very nice neat and tidy garden. As the cottage is set back from a busy road the traffic noise did not create a problem at all. Very friendly owner who was open to any idea that might improve the cottage. Apart from a coffee pot we couldn't fault it. Excellent for a short stay. The location of the cottage was excellent for visiting the Ribblesdale area with its fantastic scenery and the Forest of Bowlan"
"The cottage is situated on a busy road although you can't hear the noise from the road. The cottage is quite small in terms of space. It's good for couples but not for family. The bathroom and bedroom are nice. The kitchen doesn't have much storage place. We loved the open fire place."
