Cosy retreat in the beautiful Yorkshire Dales

We really enjoyed our stay at Westburn Cottage. It is a cosy and comfortable retreat in a beautiful setting. The cottage is very well set up and sparkly clean. The king size bed was a luxury not often found in holiday rentals. The living area provided a large range of books, DVDs and has spectacular views. Communication with Phil was easy, as was the check-in process. It’s a great place to stay to enjoy this magnificent part of the country.

Fabulous cottage in a perfect location

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.

Nice short stay in Yorkshire

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.

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.

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.

Fabulous stay

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!

Four days felt like two weeks!

This property was an absolute joy! From the moment we drew our car onto the drive and walked up the steps to the little front door, we knew we had booked the perfect cottage. So comfortable and peaceful, attention to detail, plus those beautiful views.... What more could one wish for. Thanks Phil, it was such a pleasure.

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.

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 !!

About the host

Hosted by Phil Brewster

Despite this not being our primary residence, my partner & I love the Dales, and escape here as often as work allows. But as we can't be here all the time we don't see why others shouldn't enjoy the use of such a lovely property, in such a gorgeous setting. As it's our 2nd home, it's been furnished to a high standard with all mod-cons. We've been very lucky that everyone who's been to stay has loved it. So much so that we get people coming back year after year (one couple like it so much they've been 6 times and have already booked a break for next year). We aim to make your stay as enjoyable and as hassle-free as possible. And hope that at the end of your stay you'll feel like you don't want to leave.

Why they chose this property

The barn itself is right at the heart of the Yorkshire Dales National Park, so it's a perfect base to explore & visit the surrounding countryside. Anyone who's ever watched James Herriot's 'All Creatures Great & Small' will know that the local scenery is stunning. The walking is fantastic too, but if the weather's not great there are plenty of places to visit including castles, museums, steam railways etc. And if eating out is your thing there are plenty of pubs, tea-shops, restaurants & cafes - all of which serve food to a high standard. Most of all, the people are really friendly - despite the (undeserved) reputation of Yorkshire folk being monosyllabic!

What makes this property unique

We feel it's got everything you could ask for. Access from the front door to the Dales, but close enough to towns and villages when you need them. The barn has full electric central heating & a multi-fuel stove for when you want that warm, cosy log-fire atmosphere. One other selling point - unlike many other cottages we DON'T charge extra for coal/wood in Winter (in some cases up to £20 extra a week), so you won't have to worry about any extra hidden costs.
