Comfortable Cottage
We had a great stay in this lovely peaceful cottage. Great location for touring and walking.
Cottage is clean and well equipped for eating in however local pub very close with good food and beer.
Would highly recommend a stay here.
We stayed at Westburn Cottage for a week in early July. The cottage is a perfect size for two people and was a great base to explore the Dales.
The kitchen was well equipped and the whole cottage was fitted out to a high standard. The outdoor space was a lovely spot to relax.
We really enjoyed our week staying here and would love to return to both the Dales and the cottage.

A comfortable clean property
The property was clean comfortable and well equipped. The stove was excellent and the bed very comfortable, the underfloor heating in the bathroom was excellent.
The location was beautiful and we had a very relaxed time.
We did a lot of walking in the lovely countryside
Great short break in the dales. Property was great with stunning views and peace and tranquility in this small village. Host was great , as was the local pub. Will return without doubt soon.
This converted barn has everything you could wish for and more. Lovely living room, with a fireplace that can be turned on when it is cold outside. The windows are each a painting with picturesque views. The kitchen is fully equipped. The bedroom also has the same view at the landscape. I think the bed had the best mattress of our holiday. Shower and toilet are downstairs, where we were positively surprised by the water pressure. The outside seating area made the house complete.
The host was more than helpful, thank you Phil.
I would recommend this house if you are looking for a quit place to stay. From here you can easily explore the Yorkshire Dales.
This is a very comfortable property. For our short stay we found that everything we needed was there. There was plenty of fuel for the multi-fuel burner, although we didn't need it. It was fun watching the robotic lawn mower.

beatiful cottage with a wonderful view
We enjoyed the wonderful renovated cottage. Everything you need you'll find. It is central to all the attractions of the national park and we loved to hike in the area. If you have a question, the owner will help you.
Thank you for the great time we had!

Lovely cottage
We stayed for two weeks but could have quite happily stayed longer. Phil has had a great eye for detail when planning the cottage. Everything we needed was to hand and it was all together very comfortable. It’s also ideally suited for exploring the Dales and there are a variety of lovely walks straight from the door. We will definitely be returning.

Comfortable with first class facilities
Being at the end of a one mile cul-de-sac the amount of traffic in a day is neglible-very peaceful.
I found the village a good centre for bike rides in all directions. On rest days I had a ride on the Wensleydale Railway and a visit to Fountains Abbey.
I certainly look to make a repeat booking next year.

Cottage in the beautiful Wensleydale
Wonderful location.
Very well equipped cottage. Fabulous views in a small quiet hamlet
A lovely cottage to come back too after a day out. This is a lovely place for a wonderful relaxing break. Would recommend the cottage and area without hesitation. The booking was made for us by our son who said Phil the owner was great to deal with nothing too much trouble .We would concur with this as we met him whilst there . Thank you Phil .

Enjoyable stay in Newbiggin
Lovely quite secluded location, very surprised how quiet and peaceful this location is. Cottage compact but functional. Must say not suitable for people who have issues with stairs which is my only critical comment. Lots of firewood supplied. Lovely little garden outback. Good supply reading material. Nearby pub very good. We would absolutely rent this cottage again if we every came back.
What a delightful cottage, it has everything you could possibly need. The log burner is a treat, makes it so cosy. Great view out the windows and a lovely area to sit outside. A delightful village with very friendly residents.
What made it better is that my phone signal wasn’t great do meant no one could get hold of me…..another treat!
Fabulous area to walk and travel around if you want go a bit further (Fabulous base).
Will definitely be back.
Quirky yet minimalist, traditional outer/modern inner, comfy, cosy, beautiful location
We loved staying here! Kitchen had everything, inc. a cafetière, salt & pepper grinders, dedicated drawer of superbly sharp knives(!) & a resident kitchen spider who earnt her keep by catching a mosquito!
The bed is huge - could easily fit 3 people! (Duvet cover is a bit noisy/rustles like taffeta when it moves, so light sleepers with partners prone to nocturnal limb flailing might be kept awake by this.
The antique wardrobe was ace - I enjoyed the labelled shelves based on sartorial stylings of yesteryear!
Loads of books, some DVDs, sofa was clean and comfy with a pouffe for weary legs, dimmer lights were appreciated.
Mobile signal was fair for Three but virtually nothing for O2, although can easily hook up to WiFi calling; smart TV has a free HDMI port for Chromecast/similar, & there's a Blu-ray player (lucky as we bought a couple in a charity shop in Leyburn).
Parking was fine, had to park right up against the barn door so that next door could get in too, but unless you have a van it won't be a problem for most.
We felt the TV was likely very audible to the family in the adjoining property (another holiday let); we could hear their movements so I'm sure they could hear us
We heard noisy doors/stairs from next door, and the presumed internal adjoining door didn't appear to have soundproofing (original oak door with a small gap underneath) so we felt bad watching films at night as they had little kids.
TV is on the adjoining wall and sofa is against the opposite wall

Stunning views and a home away from home!
We thoroughly enjoyed our 4 nights stay. It was a beautiful property with all the amenities you could need. Cozy wood burning stove, well equipped kitchen, very comfortable bed, very nice shower room with electric heat. The cottage is on a little quiet lane off the main road with no thru traffic so extremely quiet. The view of the valley from the backyard patio is amazing. The VRBO pictures are actual views from the cottage. We had no idea how nice this would be for such a great price! Footpaths very close to doorstep and so close to Aysgarth Falls. Very lovely !!
Westburn Cottage provides an excellent location for exploring the Dales with an ideal local pub
Very good, minor points, a sketch direction diagram from The Street Head Inn would be helpful on arrival and we had some difficulty with the TV even after replacing the batteries in both remotes.
It was very wintery when we arrived but the property was toasty warm. Everything we needed was supplied. It was home from home with great views, good walking and interesting places short drives away.
Excellent property (you can tell it’s Phil’s family home from home). Clean and tidy throughout with plenty of space for 2 people. Very comfortable and cosy. Lots of nice touches like tea, coffee, dishwasher tablets, sanitiser, washing up liquid etc.
The view from the lounge and bedroom is spectacular. The garden area gets the sun on it during the afternoon through to sunset and is a perfect spot for a sundowner! Lovely wrought iron furniture.
The slimline dishwasher was an excellent addition as was the washing machine (although we didn’t use it). Underfloor heating in the bathroom was so luxurious. Oh and the shower is powerful with piping hot water. Just what you need at the end of a day after long hikes.
Huge, super king bed which was so comfortable. There’s no light or noise pollution which makes for a very sound sleep.
The local pub was really friendly and the food was superb. A 5 min stroll and you are there. We were glad we booked in advance as it was full every night.
Phil was a perfect host and answered any queries prior to departure and even text me when we were there to ensure we had settled in ok! Now that’s service.
We loved our time here and would definitely recommend it to anyone.
Thanks for a relaxing long weekend. Perfect!
