Cottage holiday rentals in Forest of Bowland

absolute amazing, everyone was gutted to be leaving even the dog, what a stunning house and it's settings, can't wait to be booking to come back.

what an absolutely amazing place to visit, with one of the moat picturesque views of the Yorkshire Dale anyone could wish from right in the backgarden. the cottage is spotless and has everything you could want for a break away.

Cosy cottage with access to private beach on Windermere Fabulous hot tub, thoughtful touches everywhere - towels and sliders for the hot tub/lake, welcome hamper with lots of goodies, lovely wood burning stove Sauna and table tennis and marble run through the wood available - we didn’t have time to use everything - thanks for a lovely stay

Fantastic little cottage, so quaint. Hot tub was amazing and easy to use. The bed was comfy, was just a wonderful place to spend my birthday weekend. It was easy to get to all the local attractions and the pubs in the village were lovely and the locals so friendly. We will definitely be back

We arrived on the Friday for a 3 night stay. The Barn is in a beautiful place inside and out. The Hot Tub was lovely on an evening and the patio fire was great to sit around for drinks early evening watching the Sun go down. Casterton village is only a couple of miles from Kirkby Lonsdale. The village its self had a gorgeous pub 7 mins walk from the Barn which had a great range of food and served Sourdough pizza on Sunday evening after 1700hrs with a lovely warm atmosphere and open fires. There is a great taxi service and some fabulous restaurants near to the Barn. The Black Bull and the Highwayman were fabulous. (We did go to Number 9 also and it was not somewhere I could recommend, service and food really poor.) Patrick and Anika were great responsive hosts and this is a do not miss property, that offers every you need for a fabulous stay. Our little group loved it. Thank you Karen, Denise and Naomi

Hermitage cottage was in a beautiful situation right on the river Lune. The cottage was clean and tidy. We enjoyed the hot tub, the barbecue and the outdoor seating. We were extremely fortunate with the weather and really enjoyed our stay. Walks around the estate were lovely. It is a lovely base to explore the Forest of Bowland and surrounding areas.

Wonderfully peaceful location. Holly Toft is a very comfortable and welcoming place to stay. We paticularly appreciated how much care was given to ensuring the hot tub was spotlessly clean and freshly filled for our arrival. Kathryn is a superb host who clearly cares a lot about her guests. The field full of adorable lambs to look out on was a delightful bonus! Highly recommend! Thank you Kathryn.

Booked for our 20th wedding anniversary and used for a base to explore Skipton and a day out in York. Close enough to Skipton to enjoy the town and the night life. The Granary was immaculate. Hot Tub amazing and already planning a second visit. The location is stunning, peaceful and we enjoyed every minute .

Stayed for a couple of nights to explore the Dales. Lovely, cute cottage with everything you’d need. Private garden was ideal for the dog to stretch his legs and some fantastic walks literally from the doorstep. Carole was always on hand for advice and local knowledge! Would definitely come back and stay again

What an absolute gem we found in Apple House. The pictures really don't do the whole place justice! A cosy, romantic house set in beautiful, serene surroundings. It really was the perfect location for our mini moon! Was lovely to be greeted by the chickens and Russel the dog each morning <3 We were treated to some tasty welcome gifts and the place was spotless, very comfy bed and just the most charming decor. Thank you so much Emma and Craig! We will definitely be returning with more of our family!

Beautiful modern rustic cottage in the countryside, exactly what you want if you want peace, comfort and luxury. Emma & Gregor are amazing! Great communication and little extra treats to greet you when you arrive ! Absolutely recommend!

Great little bolt hole in the centre of Kendal. Does the job for a few nights, a couple and dog. Close to all local amenities. Furnished really well, very clean, lots of extras. Tight archway to get don with the car, we had a Tesla Y and managed it ok with folded wing mirrors 😉. Well done Gaz, top place 👍👍

We had such a beautiful stay, Sarah's property was just what we needed. We will be back again for certain. The property smelt beautiful the moment you entered the door, it is finished beautifully. The beds are comfortable. The views are magnificent. Local pubs, restaurants and amenities are welcoming and delicious.

Coming from the States, we were looking for a quintessential Yorkshire Dales experience: someplace peaceful and quiet with beautiful scenery. This place fit the bill perfectly. The house was very comfortable and we especially loved the shower, beds and comforters. It really is self catered so be sure to bring any cooking staples you will need. Beautiful artwork throughout the house, and some great magazines to read on rainy days. We did have an issue on the second to last day we were there - the power went out for no apparent reason. Luckily we were able to isolate the problem circuit and get things partially working again. Claire was very helpful and arranged for showers we could use in the cabins at the main property down the road. All in all, it was a lovely location and we would definitely stay there again.

We have had a very cofortable stay at Laura's house. Great location for exploring Skipton, Gargrave and surrounding areas. And what a view from the kitchen window!

Tucked away, in a quiet corner of Haworth, five minutes walk from the bottom end of the main street, the cottage, was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. With plenty to do in the area, the cottage is within ten minutes walk of Haworth's pubs and restaurants, and about 15 minutes from the Bronte Parsonage Museum, at the top of the hill. We parked up, right outside the cottage, when we arrived, and walked everywhere over our weekend's stay.

The interior has been designed with care and attention. Lots of thought has clearly gone into everything. It says it's small and it is! A good option if you're looking for something cosy, but probably not if you want a lot of space to spread yourself out. My daughter and I were very happy there.

We absolutely loved The Hideaway and wished we'd been able to stay for more than one night. Louise was so friendly and helpful, and although we didn't get to meet, we had everything we wanted and quick help when we messaged her with questions about where to eat etc. The Hideaway is immaculately clean and so stylish. The bed was super comfy and the shower fantastic. The kitchen was spotless and well stocked with utensils and crockery and Louise had kindly left us fresh eggs (from her gorgeous free ranging chickens, who came to say hello as we arrived), fresh milk and bread and a bakery treat each. It's a light, bright and welcoming apartment with beautiful views over Nidderdale. We had complete privacy and even a little garden space with picnic table and fabulous view. We were delighted to wake to the gentle calls of the curlews in nearby fields and we felt truly 'on holiday'. The sad part was leaving .. we really hope to be back soon and to explore this amazing part of Yorkshire

We had a great stay in Hawes, the house had everything we needed. Hawes and surrounding areas are beautiful. Diane left some suggestions of things to do and we did the waterfall in Hardraw, and the highest inn in England, both fantastic.

We’ve just got back from a week’s stay at this gorgeous cottage and we didn’t want to leave. Firstly the cottage itself. It was spotlessly clean when we arrived and so comfortable and cosy. Everything is high end and Rachel had thought of everything. On a day when the weather wasn’t so great we cooked a meal effortlessly. We’ve never slept so well either - that bed was so comfy! Secondly, Rachel was amazing. When our cat was seriously ill she was really kind and let us move our holiday dates, which we really appreciated. She was really responsive and helpful. Finally, the location is perfect. Just a very short walk away from all amenities, pubs, restaurants, supermarkets, petrol station etc but still a lovely quiet location. The neighbours are lovely too. Already looking forward to coming back!

Peaceful getaway tucked away from the world, fabulous bathroom without standing views from the bathtub. Spacious living room with modern appliances in kitchen.

A great couple of days, brilliant location, lovely property, everything we needed and ideal for a couple of days away. Thank you very much Peter and Julie.

I can’t speak highly enough of Hayloft - a fantastic peaceful property in a beautiful location. Cosy, tastefully decorated and well equipped - first class from top to bottom. Great walks from the door and lots to see and do if venturing out in the car. Fiona was the perfect host and we only wish we could have stayed longer. We will return!

This terraced cottage is located in the centre of Settle so there's easy access to shops and the Victoria Hall where we had tickets for 2 events. A parking permit is provided to park in the car park a minute's walk away. The cottage has been modernised with a sitting room/kitchen/diner and bathroom downstairs and a large bedroom with huge balcony upstairs which gets the sun for the majority of the day in summer. The cottage is spotlessly clean, the bed comfy and the towels etc of good quality. The kitchen is well provided with a range of crockery and cookware. Essentials were left for breakfast which was a lovely surprise as were a number of "treats".
