We really enjoyed our stay in Luke's House. It was clean and comfortable, had everything we needed, and the rooms are spacious and light. It is in a lovely, remote location with beautiful scenery all round and good walks from the door. Couldn't be better!

Enjoyed our week at Lukes House. There was fantastic walking straight from the house for us and our Labrador, with many public footpaths to choose from, one of the reasons we chose this property. We found the accommodation comfortable and clean and equipped with everything we needed for our stay. The festive decorations were a nice touch ... coupleRead mored with a dusting of snow one morning! Just to note that there is a low wall at the rear of the garden that drops down into the field which dogs could get over if they are that way inclined, but all other walls and fences are secure.

Positives: smooth booking - pre-arrival communication helpful - location - suitable for a dog - comfortable and sympathetic furnishings - ample kitchen equipment. Disappointingly, there were many negatives, some involving health and safety, including: downstairs shower out of use (not notified in advance); very dirty washing machine/dishwasher/pansRead more/stairgate/shower+shower mat/windows; some chipped crockery. A warning notice is needed for the scalding hot water. Long grass spoilt the use of the garden. We have been promised compensation for the out of use shower, but 10 days after departure we have heard nothing and we are getting no response to our emails. Response from holidaycottages.co.uk: Thank you for your review. We can confirm that the complaint was dealt with and we are also working on the issues that have been raised Hide

Amazing setting with wonderful views. So lovely to get away and enjoy such a peaceful location. Cottage had a good homely feel to it and was good to have the fire on in the evenings after a day's walking. Not too far from Askrigg or Bainbridge pubs and cafes. A return visit is definitely on the cards.
