Laurel Bank Cottage Reviews

This was an amazing find , we were a group of 9 males who went for a long walking weekend the host John was so helpful and friendly, the location was so beautiful and one of the local pubs The Elm Tree is a must and only a 5 min walk away along with another good pub would highly recommend staying here and would return in a heart beat thank you so much for one of if not the best walking weekend with have had
Great spot, comfortable accommodation, very obliging hosts. Beds were really comfortable, ample parking, lovely outdoor area for when the weather is fine, everything you needed for a lovely weekend with friends and family. Lots of sofas to sit comfortably often a problem in larger accommodation. We visited on the coldest weekend of the year and the first night was a bit chilly but we messaged to hosts and they sorted the heating straight away we were then VERY toasty warm! We ordered takeaway one evening and it was delivered easily. Accommodation was lovely and clean. Would re visit and recommend to others.

This was our 3rd stay at Laurel Bank and again we werent disappointed. Check in was easy, owners are at the other end of the phone if required, little touchs like milk in the fridge and chocs make it feeling welcoming. Proximity to Town and surrounding areas make it a great weekend stay. Would definitely recommend and will be booking again
The house was in a location close to Skipton which meant we could go out for the day without having to travel too far at all. The house itself had everything you need the kitchen was well equipped and there was plenty of cutlery, crockery and glassware etc. It was spacious in terms of communal areas for sitting a group of ten of us went and were able to sit around the table adjoining to the kitchen whilst cook etc as well as retiring upstairs later on on the comfy sofas. The beds were comfortable and well furnished. The outdoor area looked lovely but unfortunately it was rainy when we went so couldnt enjoy that aspect of the stay. Overall a lovely property. I have booked again for next year and also with another group of friends for another time because it is such a great location which is peaceful whilst also being so close to skipton.
Fantastic property great views plenty to see and places to visit. . we will return.

Maintained to very high standard .
Overall our stay was good however just some areas of feedback, the chairs in the dining room one of which was broken should be replaced as they are not sturdy. The whole cottage is a little dated and some things need refurbished like the showers etc.. Most areas were clean however there was some things like the bathrooms, fridge etc that could do with a bit more attention as they were unclean in areas. Positive things Spacious cottage and a lot of equipment to help with your stay. Fantastic location, lovely village with paper shop, pub, nice walks etc The owners are lovely and very accommodating
We had a lovely stay over the Christmas period at Laurel Bank. The property was ideal for a large family gathering. The kitchen was very well equipped for cooking a Christmas dinner. All the bedrooms had plenty of space. We loved the up stairs living room which had plenty of space to spread out. We would like to thank the owners for a wonderful stay.
Debbie
We had a lovely pre Christmas weekend break with the family. The pictures do not do show the size if the rooms. There are five bedrooms and each one is enormous. There is a very large kitchen which is very well equipped. A large dining room with ample space for 12 people. The living area again was massive with very comfortable sofas. Room enough for everyone. The cottage has a nice bit of grass outside and some outside seating for summer breaks. Situated just over a mile from skipton. It was perfect for our family break.
Everything we could need! Would do again.
We had a fantastic time at Laurel Bank Cottage. Lovely, spacious property and perfect location. The kitchen was well equipped, and the large range cooker was perfect for cooking meals for our family group. The microwave did not spin, and on closer inspection it looks like a previous guest may have burnt something as there is damage to the base. We didnt really use it but something that the owners might want to look at for future guests. The downstairs bathroom has a leak from the basin, and the upstairs shower was sometimes difficult to use as it was either freezing cold or scorching hot as the control didn't allow a happy medium. This didn't negatively impact our stay just feedback for the owners. Generally the property was nice and clean, although there was a lot of high level cobwebs that could do with dusting. There was lots of places to visit within a short drive of the property, and Embsay itself is a lovely village with a small shop and two pubs that did great pub grub. We would definitely recommend this property, we had a wonderful time.

The decking needs replacing. We had a bbq and the chairs went through holes. Also showers should be thermostatic as they could either be cold or really hot
Lesley
Fabulous house for a large gathering, had everything you would need. ..including coffee machine!!! Bedding, quilts and pillows could do with being replaced, smells a bit feisty and one of the quilt covers had old stains on. They were all clean tho. Cleaner definitely cleans....had left cleaning cloth on top of piano....which by the way was a fabulous addition for the kids to enjoy. Great hosts, even tho live next door, did not bother us at all. Also offered to amend timings for us which was fantastic. Thank you for the box of chocolates!!! Would absolutely stay here again
We have stayed here on a few occasions and love it. It's ideal position to beautiful countryside and to Skipton.
Philip
Enjoyed the weekend at Laurel Bank spacious and practical for our group
Kirstie
Lovely property with lovely owners. Plenty of space for everyone and good outdoor space too. We stayed with 6 adults and 5 children from 311, and it was an ideal holiday cottage at a reasonable price. Thanks so much for our stay we may be back next year!
Andrew
Second time we have stayed at the property and yet again we werent disappointed. Quiet and tucked away with easy access to Skipton via taxi or walk if youre up to it. Owners are on hand and contactable if required but generally leave you to enjoy your stay. Everything we needed was in the property and we would book again.

Lovely spacious property in a nice village location, few small issues loose toilet seats used soap bars in bathrooms instead of hand wash, had to clean kitchen window sill as lot of dead flies, but overall lovely property
Miriam
Very well equipped house, especially the kitchen had plenty of pots pans and dishes, and tea towels. We were a group of 9, and we had plenty of space. The property was clean and in a lovely area to do lots of nice walks and exploring.
Nice house, nice area. Ideal for travelling around visiting the sites. The insides of the house are starting to look tired with furnishings really needing updating. The outside table and chairs on a raised wooden patio are starting to rot and the flooring is now unstable. Also the outside steps up to to the living room. You must be very careful where you stand. Overall, this did not spoil our enjoyment of our 7 day stay.
This is a spacious and comfortable house owned by really nice and helpful people. The surrounding area has plenty of things to do as well as the lovelyt countryside.
Had a great stay and was exactly what we wanted. The owner was very friendly and helpful. The only things I would say is that the shower went hot and cold every couple of minutes and it was very cold due to the owner having full control over the heating.
Suzanne
We had a fabulous stay at Laurel Bank. There were 10 of us staying for my Mums 80th Birthday celebration over a four day period. The location was ideal with a lovely view. The cottage was spacious & well equipped. Handy for Skipton a 5 min drive or a good walk. The local pub is a 5 min walk & we got a very warm welcome. Would recommend.
Nicola
Could just do a few maintenance bits doing, kitchen blind was broken, cupboard door doesnt close properly in one of the downstairs rooms, but they are minor bits that would not stop us staying here again. Communication with Sally was great, very close to Skipton, local pubs in walking distance. The only slight disappointment was the cleanliness, it felt like it had been tidied rather than cleaned.
A fabulous place to stay, a great base if visiting Skipton and Bolton Abbey.
Had a great time at the cottage. It was perfect for what we needed, and everything was well setup. Also a great location for walks etc. only thing that could've been improved was that it wasn't very clear on the Sykes communication how we were supposed to collect the keys. Would definitely stay again!
Great property and as described. Great communication
Shelagh
Great cottage, we love the location, nice walk into skipton. Very clean and excellent amenities, slight issue with the heating, but Jonathan the owner sorted straight away. Couple of lovely pubs in the village check opening time, whether food being served beforehand and a local shop. Great for families or adult group, lovely gardens and views. Would definitely go back.
Was very good, clean, spacious, great location. Ideal for our family gettogether grandparents and two families with four young children between us.
House was clean and comfortable. Lots of space for all of us. We were visiting the area and attending a wedding locally so perfect position
Stacey
Great accommodation and well located for us working in Skipton.
We had a week's stay at Laurel Bank Cottage and had a lovely time. There were 5 of us, a toddler and an infant and there was plenty of room for all of us. The cottage was spotless when we arrived and everything we needed was there. There were stairgates at the top and bottom of the staircase, a cot and highchair, so these came in very useful for our toddler. The only thing that wasn't included was bathroom towels but we were advised several times to bring our own so this wasn't an issue. It was a bonus to us that after booking the cottage we realised that there was a station around the corner with steam trains and we had a lovely ride to Bolton Abbey and back. Skipton and Harrogate aren't too far and were well worth a visit too. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this cottage.
A very nice house with access to The Dales and many places of interest. It is close to Skipton for railways and supermarkets. No big problems and the little ones were sorted very quickly.
A fantastic week's stay. Comfortable and homely. Thank you....
There is everything you need in the cottage. I would only suggest the out door table and chairs get a bit of a makeover. Thanks
Lovely stay at Laurel Bank Cottage , just needs a little TLC , but overall we really enjoyed our break there
A certain amount of the furniture was dated and the lack of ability to control the central heating yourself was not made clear. For some guests they were cold in the property and the the central heating came on late in the morning and in the evening this was controlled by the owners who reside next door. I would have expected to have the choice of when to turn heating on. The accommodation was spacious but has no rear garden. The front garden is vast however. I did not like the fact you were instructed to load the dishwasher the night before and strip all bedding from each room. I feel this should not be part of your holiday Ive never had to do this before
Michael
Spotlessly clean. Excellent facilities very well equipped. Fabulous views. In a really good location to go to Skipton, walking etc. We think you under sold yourself in the advert. Accommodation was far better than we expected. Thank you very much
Louise
Lovely house in a lovely setting. Very well equipped for every need. Will be back next year
