3, 2, 1, go! Get your competitive side ready for a fun-packed holiday at this rural retreat. This property comprises two cottages on a small complex, so you can take time out if you need it to catch up with a good book Sleeping 10 in total, with up to two dogs allowed, this property is ideal for a multi-generational family group, two families or friends. The cottages are at the end of a 0.5-mile private road, so peace and quiet is almost guaranteed.

Two attractive, stone cottages linked by dividing a door offer great facilities and comfort for all ages (and that includes your furry friends!) The properties are generously proportioned, with modern furnishings for practical living. Both have a comfortable lounge with a flame-effect gas fire, a TV and a kitchen/diner. The smaller cottage sleeps four, the other six (all in all, two doubles and three twins). Both properties have bathrooms on the first floor. It’s the amenities here that make it so amazing with shared facilities including the large garden, tennis court, and football pitch, plus indoors, a 10m x 5m heated swimming pool and a log-cabin-style games room with table tennis, table football, pool and snooker amongst other things. The dogs can’t join in but will love to watch you battle it out! Each cottage also has its own furnished patio with a BBQ for those long summer evenings.

Head out to explore the Yorkshire Dales National Park, which is within 10 miles and the Forest of Bowland Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Play fetch with your four-legged friends in the beautiful woodland on your doorstep or stride out on some of the many walks nearby. The views are incredible. Gisburn Forest (3.5 miles) has signed footpaths for walkers and cyclists. Stock up on supplies or have a mooch about Settle (9 miles) with its independent shops, cafes, plus other eateries and a weekly market.

We had a wonderful stay as a family of ten, the swimming pool facilities were great as well as the games room. This is the fourth time we have been and am sure we will be back again in the near future!

We had the most wonderful time celebrating my daughter's birthday here. The cottage was a perfect base and the pool and games facilities went down a treat. The beds were comfortable and everything was clean. So much space for everyone to be together and also be able to to their own thing. Be aware the pool and game room is on a time table. So yRead moreou do not have acces at all times but the acces is private for your slot. The one negative to be aware of is the water is not great. Odd smell and colour, I believe this is an issue of the area and not the accommodation though and they were so kind to provide us with large bottles of water as no one fancied drinking it! I would bring extra bottles. Was not easy to find! But once we did we had a great time. Would fully recommend this place to anyone. And will probably return! Hide

We had such a lovely trip away at the cuckoos nest. It was well equipped with everything we needed, clean and spacious. The games room and swimming pool made the stay especially with a variety of age groups within the family. Would stay again and recommend others booking this great cottage in a great rural location!

If you want a quiet place to relax with family and friends you could do no better than Cuckoos Nest. Whilst not luxurious it is clean and comfortable and has everything you need and more. The surroundings are idyllic and plenty to do in the surrounding area. The pool and games room are fantastic and well maintained. Points to note - remember Read moreto take salt and pepper and toilet roll . The water tastes and smells different ( sulphur) so we opted to use bottled water. But it is perfectly safe to use / drink and it was just our preference . Hide

Great place for our Family to celebrate our sons 40th Birthday, we came well equipped to cook for ourselves for the week as it is a good way from a shop, However the swimming pool & Games room were fab for us All, With timed slots which worked really well, for sharing with the other cottages. Very spacious accommodation that was well equipped. ButRead more bring own loo roll as we nearly ran out as didnt realise we needed to provide our own. Never had to do this in other cottages we have stayed at, but understand & we sorted it but had to travel quite a way to a shop. The outside space was lovely too, including the football field. We were not bored at all . The bathrooms are a little dated but it is all very clean on the whole. We found the beds were not that comfortable but realise that is sometimes personal preference. The water had a strange smell so take some bottled water. we would however stay again as it was Great for our needs. Hide

Although we ended up having a lovely time I think the cottages were over priced. One good thing was the cottages were lovely and warm and we were in control of the heating. The cottages were spacious enough to cater for 10 of us and a dog.

Good value, rooms were small but functional. Dated but clean and well kept. Games rooms inculding pool, table football, table tennis, snooker and darts was a very good addition.

The pool and games room are a fabulous addition to the property and a real bonus. The property was a little disappointing with a rather unloved feel.
