Lovely cottage in a great location.
The cottage is very comfortable and well appointed with good quality furnishings. It is warm and has under floor heating downstairs. The shower is great. Parking outside was never a problem as it is an end house and not further into the village. The village has a well-stocked shop with very helpful and friendly staff and good opening times. There is a butcher and a pub. Cauldron Falls is a walk around the corner. The walk from here to Morpeth Scar gives amazing views. It is in one of the guide books in the cottage. The owners are quick to respond to queries and very helpful. Overall excellent value for money and would recommend.

Beautiful cottage in a pretty village with a waterfall close by.
Had a fabulous time as West Burton is close to everything. I stayed with my mum who is coming up to 80 years and she thoroughly enjoyed the scenery and quaint cottage. We didn't want for anything and happy to return 😊

Great stay
This cottage is in a lovely situation. Very handy for the pub and village shop. We mostly ate at the pub where the staff and locals were friendly. The shop lady also friendly and helpful. The cottage is fine for 2, the "dining area" would be a bit tight for three. The kitchen is well equipped and the fridge has a handy freezer compartment. The added shower room is large, bright, clean with a great shower. The bed is one of the comfiest we have ever found in a rental. From the cottage there is access to lots of great walks, some steeper than others! Altogether a great week.

Restorative 2 weeks in the Yorkshire Dales
Situated in a gorgeous village the cottage was the ideal location for our holiday. The cottage itself was very comfortable and had everything we needed for our holiday. The cottage was extremely well located for the bus stop for linear walks, the village shop and delicious evening pub meals whilst enjoying a view of the village green & coutryside

About the host

Hosted by Gareth Reese

Host profile image
Lucy and Gareth are a married couple from Manchester. Dale Cottage is our little getaway in the Dales, and we hope you enjoy it as much as we do!

Why they chose this property

We've always loved The Dales, and Wensleydale in particular. Especially around West Burton the wildlife you can see on just a short walk is incredible. We've seen barn owls, deer and all sorts just on a 15 minute stroll from the door of the cottage. The impressive walking and mountain biking are what really appeal to us the most. It's nowhere near as busy as the Lakes, yet just as interesting and varied. And plenty of pubs to stop by if you play your route correctly! One day we'll retire up here for sure. We're counting down the days!

What makes this property unique

After some renovations in 2022 we're really happy with the style and quality of the cottage, and given its size we feel we're offering as much as we can to our guests. The cottage also benefits a lot from the geography of West Burton itself. With no through road it's surprisingly quiet for a small village in the Dales. This means it's safe for our kids playing on the park or football on the village green, and safe for us to leave them while we enjoy a couple of drinks in the beer garden just opposite.
