Yorkshire Dales Cottage Holidays

Don't just take our word!

What our Guest say!

We have had a fantastic holiday in an idyllic setting. It has been peaceful sitting by the beck and watching all the wildlife. The cottage is a real home from home and we loved every minute of our 2 week stay. We shall certainly be returning.

Mr & Mrs D Clowe - Shropshire - Town Head House, Yorkshire Dales - August 2010

The setting is beautiful and so relaxing. We loved the holiday cottage. The beds are so comfy and I wanted to take them home.

Mr C Shawcroft - Pontefract - Town Head House, Yorkshire Dales - August 2010

The holiday cottage was lovely - Superb location. Even saw a red squirrel. Like to thank Gaynor and Nick for making Eller Haw Cottage such a homely holiday cottage. It was spotless and you couldn't hope for anything better.

Mr P Haslam - Rotherham - Eller Haw Cottage, Yorkshire Dales - August 2010

Cotterdale is a very special place beautiful and quiet, a real escape. We didn't want to leave.

M Devonshire - Portsmouth - Eller Haw Cottage, Yorkshire Dales - August 2010

We enjoyed our break at Eller Haw Cottage; the holiday cottage was a perfect setting for our silver wedding anniversary. The gift that was there to greet us was a truly lovely touch. Milo our 2 year old Labrador enjoyed himself too.

Mr & Mrs Wood - Yorkshire - Eller Haw Cottage, Yorkshire Dales - August 2010

Wonderful holiday cottage in an amazing setting, so much wildlife including red squirrels and a woodpecker. We never go back to the same place but it is so special here we have booked Town Head House for next year. Gaynor is so helpful even rang us on day of departure. Thank you so much for a perfect holiday looking forward to next year.

G McLeod - Wirral - Eller Haw Cottage, Yorkshire Dales - July 2010

We have all enjoyed the haven of peace and tranquility. A great place to explore. Well done Gaynor. The boys were devastated to leave but I'm sure we will be back.

Lorraine, Brian & Boys - Tyne & Wear- Town Head House, Yorkshire Dales July 2010

We love the isolated location in Cotterdale even the drive from the main road. Hawes is easy to get to and supplied all our needs. Lots of great walks locally and even more if you venture a little further a field, get a copy of The Inn Way & To Black Sheep Pubs for inspiration. A Fantastic getaway, would love to return in the winter too.

K Holt - Cheshire - Eller Haw Cottage, Yorkshire Dales - July 2010

An absolutely wonderful, peaceful and beautiful location with superb self catering accommodation. Great walks and places to visit. We'll definitely come back and also recommend to friends and family.

Jan, Kelv Burdett & Boxer babes Bello, Keo - Leics - Eller Haw Cottage, Yorkshire Dales - July 2010

We have been visiting the holiday cottage for many years and we're pleased with all the improvements. For us the delight is the location and abundant wildlife, particularly the visiting Red Squirrels are the best attractions. The peace and quiet is second to none making relaxation instant. Many Thanks.

Bob and Jean Davies - Durham - Town Head House, Yorkshire Dales - July 2010

Perfect for a couple or small family - very cosy. An ideal location for a quiet and relaxing holiday, but central for the Yorkshire Dales. We cannot see any room for improvement, its ideal.

Mr Grimmett - Bucks - Eller Haw Cottage, Yorkshire Dales - June 2010

Very comfortable and well equipped self catering holiday cottage. We have never seen so much wild life and different types of birds in one garden. Had a lovely relaxing time. Thank you.

E Lowe - Cleveland - Town Head House, Yorkshire Dales - June 2010

We have stayed at Town Head House and Eller Haw Cottage many times over the years, sometimes we've visited twice a year; We have always loved both cottages with a passion and the beautiful area. But Gaynor has made them both even better. As well as all the improvements she has added some delightful little touches here and there.

Mr and Mrs Beal - Leeds - Town Head House, Yorkshire Dales - June 2010

This was our first time to the Yorkshire Dales and we loved it. Sure to be back soon. The holiday cottage was great and we were more than content sitting in the garden watching the wildlife. The weather was kind to us and we had some wonderful walks from the cottage including up the Pennine Way to Great Shunner Fell.

Mr & Mrs S Burford - Oxon - Eller Haw Cottage, Yorkshire Dales - June 2010

We had a lovely 2 weeks stay in the self catering holiday cottage Town Head House. The cottage has been beautifully looked after and is very well equipped for a self catering cottage. We loved the garden it was so peaceful.

Mr & Mrs Hill and family - Cambridge - Town Head House, Yorkshire Dales June 2010

Thoroughly enjoyed our 2 weeks in Eller Haw Cottage, we will be back. Our favourite place the garden.

John and Patricia - Middlesex - Eller Haw Cottage, Yorkshire Dales - May, June 2010

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this cosy holiday cottage set in a wonderful position with wildlife to watch each day. A good location for touring this beautiful area of the Yorkshire Dales and we had some lovely walks.

P Butterfield - Tyne & Wear - Town Head House, Yorkshire Dales - May 2010

Dear Gaynor, I just wanted to say thank you for allowing us to stay at Town Head House self catering holiday cottage. It was quite possibly the most peaceful and beautiful location we have ever stayed in. The weather was superb which always helps. We managed to find the right balance between a bit of walking and sightseeing whilst keeping the children amused. They enjoyed trying to alter the course of the Cotter beck having succeeded in building a dam as a very keen shooting person I enjoyed talking with the Estate Gamekeepers and seeing all the wildlife. Although I shoot pheasants and partridges during the winter months I hadn’t until our stay seen grouse and we were particularly fortunate that the ones we saw had chicks, as did the oyster catchers and the curlews. The 2 red squirrels which came for a feed made a pleasant change from the Greys which frequent our own garden. I will certainly mention to friends what a great place it is, who knows they may even book a holiday. Anyway Thanks again and good luck with your venture.

Jeremy and Frances - East Sussex - Town Head House, Yorkshire Dales May 2010

Hi Gaynor, What a beautiful holiday cottage, Town Head House, spotlessly clean, comfortable and very welcoming. It was a real treat to sit having breakfast and watching the birds eat theirs! Also to sit out in the garden, beck running by and the red squirrel sat in the tree watching us. The weather was lovely. We shall definitely return, as we have done for several years. Thank you Gaynor.

Kath & David - West Yorkshire - Town Head House, Yorkshire Dales - May 2010

Absolutely loved it. Eller Haw Cottage so cosy with everything you could possibly want. The setting was beautiful. Our first visit to the Yorkshire dales - hopefully not our last. Thank you Gaynor

S Featherstone - Colchester - Eller Haw Cottage, Yorkshire Dales - May 2010

Our visit has been great the weather although chilly was bright and sunny. The surroundings are so picturesque. Just sitting having breakfast with the door open watching the birds is a treat in itself. Town Head House holiday cottage Yorkshire is a pleasure to come into and the kitchen has every gadget you need for your stay. Suggestions for improvements, I don't think you can improve perfection.

Mr and Mrs Wilkinson - Hartlepool - Town Head House, Yorkshire Dales April 2010

Hi Gaynor, Just a quick email to say how much we enjoyed our stay at Eller Haw Cottage. The holiday cottage was lovely and so clean, smart and well-equipped (unlike a few places we've stayed over the years!!) and the setting is fantastic. I managed to spot a red squirrel but poor Julie didn't (I was taking out the rubbish and it ran across the road). We got to know one of the sheep quite well as she and her two lambs seem to have worked out how to get out of the field and onto the grass by the cottage! We are already thinking about booking again later in the year.

Colin and Julie - Suffolk - Eller Haw Cottage, Yorkshire Dales - April 2010

Town Head House is one of the best self catering holiday cottages in Yorkshire we have stayed in. Not a cobweb in sight. Comfortable and spacious lounge. Well equipped kitchen we found everything we needed, it was even a pleasure to wash up with the fantastic view from the kitchen window and to top it all the location is out of this world. We walked nearly everyday from the cottage. We will be returning soon. Thank you so much.

B Carthy - Tyne and Wear - Town Head House, Yorkshire Dales - April 2010

Town Head House is a fantastic family holiday cottage in an idyllic location for just relaxing and great walks, such peace! Brilliant.

A Moore - Bath - Town Head House, Yorkshire Dales - April 2010

A Whitmore - Flintshire - Town Head House, Yorkshire Dales - March 2010

Dear Gaynor We just wanted to say thank you for a brilliant stay in Town Head House Yorkshire. A simply amazing cottage in a tranquil, relaxing, extremely beautiful location - a real gem, so pleased we stayed here and would highly recommend. All ages catered for. Amazing wildlife, thank you for providing squirrel and bird food also the inclusion of all the baby equipment was very surprising as was the provision of the fishing nets, games, books and toys for all ages, you have forgotten nothing to make your stay a memorable one. Town Head House exceeded all expectations. We have already told all our friends about your cottages and plan to return next summer it's a shame we can't return this year but not enough time in the year.

Sheryl, Richard and Connor - West Sussex - Town Head House, Yorkshire Dales - March 2010

Dear Gaynor,
Just a line to say we had a wonderful time at your self catering holiday cottage Town Head House, even though the weather was freezing cold, then it snowed quite heavily. We did two good walks but it was hard going. We will be returning, even if it's to get my book back, which I left under the bed. It is so magical.

A Barron - Halifax - Town Head House, Yorkshire Dales - February 2010

We had SUCH a gorgeous break in Eller Haw Cottage. Despite not fabulous weather for most of the time (no clear sky for stars, alas) it was the perfect break. And the surprise went down very well indeed! Just wanted to say thank you for a wonderful time, it was bliss.

J Masson - London - Eller Haw Cottage, Yorkshire Dales - February 2010

We would like to thank our guests that have emailed or sent a thank you card letting us know what a wonderful holiday you have had. It's been hard work since taking over the management of the holiday cottages in November 2009 but hearing all your comments really makes it worth while.

Thank you

Gaynor and Nick
