Cozy Dales Coachman's Loft with great location
My husband and I just returned from a week in the beautiful Yorkshire Dales. Coachman's Loft in the town of West Witton was a perfect location for us to talk long walks in the magnificent countryside. Semer Water, Asygarth Falls and Hardraw Force are all close by and not to be missed. The Loft was spotlessly clean and spacious for the two of us. We really appreciated the large king size bed and roomy sitting/living area. The small kitchen had everything needed to prepare meals. The loft overlooks a beautiful garden and a cute sun house is available for guests to use. Carol and Steve were great hosts providing us with lots useful information about the local area and a good selection of maps and walking guides. We appreciated the tea and cake upon our arrival and the lovely bouquet of tulips (in honor of our 50th anniversary) -thanks so much! Be sure to enjoy Sunday Lunch at the Fox & Hounds pub and for a special occasion the excellent food at the 5 star Wensleydale Hefer both within walking distance of the Loft. We highly recommend the Coachman's Loft and would definitely come again!

Garden and village view comfortable loft
The loft apartment was very clean, bright and comfortable, with beautiful garden, nicely decorated spacious rooms, warm shower, good wifi. good climate control system. It was in a small village centrally located in the Dales National Park, within walking distance to a pub and grocery market. The hosts were very friendly and informative and left lots of brochures for things to see in the area. Everyone we met in the area was friendly and kind. This was a perfect place for our stay in the Dales.

A wonderful stay in the Dales!
We spent 2 weeks in Carol and Steve's Coachman's Loft, and it exceeded all of our expectations! Everything was perfectly clean and tastefully decorated. The shared garden space was lovely in July, with gorgeous flowers and benches to sit and enjoy them. Carol and Steve were more like friendly neighbors that hosts, although they did provide plenty of helpful information about local sights and eateries. We would return with hesitation.

The property is located in a village yet despite this there is not a sound at night to awaken a light sleeper . Very well located for walks and visits to some of Yorkshire’s most impressive areas .

Beautiful, picturesque location
Sweet, cosy, spotlessly clean flat with exceptionally welcoming hosts. The traditional Yorkshire fruit cake and Wensleydale cheese combo they greeted us with was scrumptious. Also really thoughtful additions, like kitchen dispensables, provided.

Wonderful week in Wensleydale
Beautiful, quiet, clean and well maintained property- exactly as described and shown on website. Lovely, helpful but discrete hosts Carol and Steve who greeted us with a welcoming pot of tea and delicious home made cake. The area is perfect for walkers and cyclists and well placed for good restaurants, pubs and cafes too.

Brilliant
We had an amazing time. Carol and Steve were brilliant hosts and gave us a very warm welcome with some gorgeous cake!! We’d recommend the weekly sheepdog demo near Hawes which happens at 18:30 every Thursday - just for a little taste of the dales!! The loft was the perfect base for us, really comfortable and well equipped. Would definitely stay again. Thank you!

Had a fabulous week at the Loft, the weather was perfect and it was so lovely to sit in the garden to watch the sun rise and set. It was a good base for walks and cycling and we eat at both The Fox and Hounds Inn and Wensleydale Inn - quite different but both very delicious.

Lovely Place, Great Location
A lovely, well equipped, property with a nice sunny garden and lots of good walking from the doorstep. The owners were there to meet us on arrival and were very friendly and helpful. Check in is later and Departure earlier due to the owners following the COVID Guidelines, this was not an issue as it is good to know the care that is being taken. Really enjoyed our stay and would definitely go back.

Great place in the Dales
Lovely cozy apartment in the village of West Witton. Ideal for two people though there is a bed settee in the lounge as well. Nice size bedroom with what for us was a lovely comfy bed. The apartment was spotlessly clean when we arrived and we found nothing wanting during our visit. Ideal base for exploring wether walking, cycling or in our case motorcycling, shame the weather wasn’t a bit kinder! Hosts Carol and Steve live across the yard and are usually about if you have and queries or require information on the local area. Carol presented us with a lovely piece of cake each on arrival which was a nice touch. There are two pubs in walking distance. The Fox and Hounds being closest, a traditional real ale pub which also does food. A little further up the road lies the Wensleydale Heifer. A gastropub with accommodation. More expensive than the Fox and Hounds but really good service and menu. We really enjoyed it there. So, nothing not to like about the Coachmans Loft, wether for a short stay or longer.

Perfect break
We spent a wonderful Bank Holiday weekend in the Coachman’s Loft. This was the best-equipped property we’ve ever stayed in - Steve and Carol thought of absolutely everything, from kitchen basics to entertainment. This was a delightful home-from-home, and a fantastic base from which to explore a beautiful county. And we really appreciated the little kindnesses, including coffee and home-made cake on arrival (delicious!) and offering to book a table at the local seafood restaurant. I highly recommend this property and would happily return. Thank you so much for your welcome.
