The perfect stay
This is our second visit and we will be back again next year. Really lovely cottage and the location is perfect - especially for dog owners. Brilliantly equipped, well maintained and Carol is really helpful. What’s more, there is always a heatwave in the Yorkshire Dales when we’re there!

Comfortable family weekend cottage
Furnished to a high quality, everything has been thought of. Under-floor heating super warm and easy to control once we eventually found the second controller! Mattresses extremely luxurious after a long walk up Ribbledale, (only improvement would be a variety in the texture of pillows available). Location fantastic.

Lovely house
We really enjoyed our stay in Giggleswick and the house was perfect for me and my two daughters. Close to Settle and Giggleswick (there is a footbridge over the river to Settle) and very comfortably furnished. We enjoyed the garden in the evenings as we were lucky with the warm weather in April.

Amazing!
My family and I stayed here in July and we were so excited to see how beautiful and spacious the Cottage was! It was clean, well appointed and even better than advertised. Carol greeted us with a lovely gift basket and made us feel welcomed. She gave us advice on local places to eat/shop etc.. and was responded promptly to all of our text messages. Giggleswick is a quiet village with spectacular views! We would love to come back here someday! Thank you so much Carol for making our stay fabulous!

Charming house!
My family stayed here in early July 2018 and we had a lovely time. The house was immaculately clean when we arrived and full of charming details. The house was very well equipped with everything we could wish for. Sitting in the kitchen area at the end of the day was so relaxing. The patio area outside the kitchen is full of tubs with flowers (which I had fun watering in the very hot weather). The cute beck just outside the property add to the atmosphere. It was an easy 15 minute walk over to the shops and facilities in Settle. I travel to Settle regularly and I will definitely stay here again. Thanks Carol!

Home from Home
We had the most wonderful holiday at Sunnybeck. Beautiful cosy cottage with everything you could possibly need set in a charming village. Our dog loved his time in the Dales and he had the added benefit of the field next door to play "fetch." We hope to be back soon. Thank you Carol and Steve for your warm welcome and useful information on the surrounding areas.

Home from home
We (2 adults plus dog) stayed at Sunnybeck for 10 nights in September and had a really lovely holiday. It was our first time visiting Yorkshire, and Giggleswick was a perfect location for exploring the Dales, surrounding towns and villages (all within easy reach by car). Giggleswick and Settle have numerous pubs (dog friendly), restaurants and supermarkets all within a short walking distance of the cottage. Carol (the property owner) met us at Sunnybeck on arrival, showed us around the cottage which was absolutely lovely (modern but cosy with everything and more required for a most relaxing and comfortable stay). It was a real home from home and perfect particularly for those days when the weather was too dreadful to venture out - we switched on the fire, watched tv, read books and recharged our batteries. Carol had some fantastic tips and recommendations (which we followed, much to our delight). She was also very quick to refund our deposit. We will definitely be revisiting Sunnybeck, as we loved the cottage and still have a list of other recommendations that we didn't get round to on this occasion. A very memorable trip indeed.

Peaceful and quiet home from home in great setting
The cottage is well presented and has everything you need for a comfortable stay. The views over Settle and to the edge of the dales are a treat every morning, yet it's an easy walk into Settle or if Giggleswick if you fancy something shorter and quieter. The kids had a lot of freedom, given it's a very quiet cul-de-sac and were able to go and play in the field the other side of the stream. Our new four legged friend was grateful for the doggy treats and other touches to make her feel welcome. The surrounding area is wonderful and great for exploring, either by car or on foot. After a day out, it's great to come home to the fire and be able to use the ample kitchen facilities. All in all, a great stay and would thoroughly recommend. Carol was very helpful and we knew she was close at hand if anything was needed.

We very much enjoyed our stay at the lovely Beckside Cottage. Carol was very helpful and even provided us with some beautiful magazines to read during our stay. The cottage is beautifully warm, comfortable, immaculately clean and well situated. All in all, a wonderful retreat. Thank you Carol.

About the host

Hosted by CAROL ROBERTSON

Host profile image
My family and I moved to the Yorkshire Dales in 2000 from Brighton and fell in love with the whole area!

We bought Sunnybeck in Giggleswick as a bolthole and decided to holiday let the cottage to friends and family which in turn led to a very successful business with guests arriving from all over the world and 95% repeat guests.

Hospitality is my key word and the most important thing is for the cottage to be spotlessly clean, warm, cosy, and all essentials to be provided, ie toilet rolls, towels, hairdryer, cooking condiments, cleaning items, dishwasher tablets etc......

We provide that and I get very upset when I stay somewhere and I then have to shop for these items!!!!!

I started out as an interior designer and now run my own successful fragrance brand, all made by hand in my Yorkshire kitchen.

Check out Carol Robertson Scents and my products are also available for your use in the cottage.

My husband and I have 2 dogs, and love dogs!

The whole area is perfect for cycling, walking and very dog friendly with an array of dog friendly eateries etc...

I live in Settle and I am on hand most of the time for any questions or queries you may have, so please do not hesitate to contact me?

Love

Carol
