Guests that stayed at this property said
Most guests found the cottage to be clean and tidy. However, a few mentioned issues with cleanliness such as dried food on dishes and crumbs on surfaces, which slightly lowers the score.
The location is consistently lauded for its picturesque setting by the canal, proximity to local amenities, and as a great base for exploring Yorkshire. The peaceful environment and easy access to walks and attractions contribute to a high score.
The majority of guests found the cottage comfortable, with special mentions of the cosy fire and spacious rooms. Some discomfort was noted due to the lounge seating and steep stairs, which affects the score.
Facilities are generally well-received, especially the well-appointed kitchen. Criticisms include issues with the showers, hot water boiler, and some minor maintenance concerns, which impact the score.
Guests often mention the thoughtful gestures such as a glass of wine and the provision of essentials. While these are appreciated, it is important to note that such gifts are kindly provided but not guaranteed.

The cottage was cosy, clean and the kitchen was well catered for. You have lovely views of the canal from the living room and front bedroom. Mike & Vicky have done a great job with the cottage to make it home from home. The White lion a 2 min walk from the cottage was a great village pub very welcoming and good traditional pub grub at good prices. The question is will we go back to Canalside? A big yes!! Thanks for a wonderful stay Mike & Vicky.
