Sally End, Ravenstonedale

We have stayed in a fair number of holiday cottages over the past eighteen years and only ever found one other to match this one for perfection. A beautiful cottage in a beautiful setting, well off the beaten track and perfect for those of us who want to escape the noise of traffic and general background noise. The only things you will hear here is the occasional sheep in the fields and the local farmer a couple of times a day going past. The views from the bedrooms and living room are wonderful, the cottage was very clean and tidy, and also very well stocked. There are even two fridges! The broadband IS superfast - I managed 20MB/sec. and there is an perfectly excellent mobile signal if you are on GiffGaff/O2. If I had any complaint at all it would be that some of the floor boards on the upstairs landing creak quite loudly when walking across them, which seems more noticable at night. Other than that, a perfect stay in a perfect setting.

We had a brilliant stay at Sally End over christmas. Lots of little touches around the house that made our holiday special, my children loved feeding the birds on a morning with the bird food left for us to use. Beautiful views from every window. Lovely helpful owners who even posted a few bits and bobs back to us we had left behind. Would definitely recommend to anyone wanting a peaceful retreat.

The scenery was fantastic. The cottage was very, very. Nice location.

Walks from the door and abundant wildlife from the cottage window! It is a lovely quiet location with outstanding views. We definitely plan to visit again.

The location of Sally End was perfect, Not too far from the main road but hidden away in the hills, the views from the cottage were amazing . The cottage was perfect for us as we love the olde world feel about it. The kitchen had an AGA, which kept the cottage lovely and warm. I would certainly recommend to family and friends if they like the solitude and appreciate amazing scenery and walks.

A very warm and cosy cottage in a lovely location. We really enjoyed our stay at Sally End and would thoroughly recommend to any country-lover. Very very comfortable.

The cottage was beautiful, I love the fact we could take the dog. There were lots of walks for him and it was quiet and peaceful. We will definitely be going back.

This was our 2nd visit to sally end and it was even better than I remembered - the location really is outstanding. from the garden we saw a red squirrel, a weasel and a sparrow hawk as well as a wide variety of garden birds. there are many walks from the door, and the surrounding area has so much to explore. the cottage keepers are pleasant and accommodating, and the local people are friendly and helpful - we have an 18 month old and nothing was too much trouble. the aga is constantly warm and toasty - wed definitely book again. thankyou.

Perfect. Peaceful and quiet with fantastic views. It was very cosy and warm with generous with heating. There were red squirrels and hares in the garden. Everything we needed was there, cannot fault a thing.

We were kept waiting to check in we were told because of cleaning and I don't think I have ever booked a cottage that was as dirty . This was taken up with the with the company Sykes who we rate very highly and the management company who were also the cleaners came to cottage and said they did not know what we were complaining about .Very dirty equipment, utensils. We did not expect Buckingham palace with an old cottage but the least you expect is for it to be clean. The people suggested maybe it was because we had disabled children with us which was very offensive. We stay in many old cottages each year but this one was not acceptable or peoples attitudes !! We did receive a full refund after a fuss. Many thanks to Sykes who we always book through , they were great.

A clean, comfortable and warm cottage in a lovely location, with a pleasant garden to sit in and admire the view. We very much liked the Aga in the kitchen.

Sally End is very cosy and warm, with a great view from the sitting room. We appreciated the many possibilities to sit in peace to read in the house and in the garden. The children just liked to wake up seeing sheep and horses. We'll come again.

A lovely location and a beautiful view. The house is a great base from which to explore the Lake District and Yorkshire Dales. The house itself felt relaxed, warm and cosy. The décor and furnishings were perfect for a family. Loved the selection of books and games -especially the chess table.

A lovely warm welcome. outstanding location, lovely AGA and wood burner - a real treat. Plenty of great walking from the doorstep. Perfect for visiting both The Dales and The Lakes.

Off the beaten track, just how we like it. Very cosy in the kitchen with the aga, and beautiful views from the back garden overlooking the hills. Two nice decent-sized bedrooms upstairs, one with a skylight, would be a really nice feature in the warm summer evenings. Really quiet area, possibly too quiet for families with children but ideal for us. A great place to relax and unwind.

We really enjoyed our weeks stay at Sally End. When we arrived after rather a long and rainy journey we were greeted by a picture perfect cottage, and a lovely warm kitchen heated by the AGA! The kitchen was great with everything you could need, The living room was cosy with a wood burner which we lit every evening. The bedrooms were comfortable, and the bathroom was lovely and clean! Brilliant Cottage! We very much hope to visit again!

Sally End is such a beautiful property, set in an amazing location which is excellent for exploring both the Lake District and the Yorkshire Dales. The views are amazing, it is so quiet and peaceful, and the property is very homey, perfect for adults and children alike. We could've stayed forever!
