Guests that stayed at this property said
Most guests found the cottage to be spotlessly clean, with only a few mentioning issues such as cobwebs and dusty surfaces. The high frequency of positive comments suggests a generally high standard of cleanliness.
The location is frequently described as quiet and convenient, with easy access to local shops, pubs, and attractions. The positive remarks about the setting in a historic village and proximity to walking routes contribute to a high score.
Guests often mention comfortable beds and a cosy atmosphere, although there are some negative comments about a lumpy mattress and hard pillows. The majority of reviews, however, lean towards a comfortable experience.
The cottage is generally well-equipped, especially the kitchen, but there are several mentions of maintenance issues such as a broken vacuum cleaner, heating problems, and a weak shower pressure. These issues suggest room for improvement.
While many reviews speak to the well-stocked basics and a welcoming atmosphere, there is no mention of gifts or special touches that would fall under 'thoughtfulness'. Therefore, this category cannot be scored.
About this property
A welcoming, stone link-detached cottage, set on a small estate on the outskirts of the pretty market town of Middleham. Stylish and contemporary throughout, Cleeve Cottage is a real delight with first class fittings and fixtures, offering friends and families an ideal holiday home for enjoying this popular area of the Yorkshire Dales. Featuring a comfortable sitting room with two beautiful sofas arranged around the main fireplace, which houses a characterful multi-fuel stove, this is a cosy space to put your feet up after a day of exploring the local countryside. The well-equipped kitchen/diner provides a great space to sit and enjoy an evening meal, talk about the travails of the day and prepare plans for the rest of the holiday. The master bedroom boasts a luxurious pocket sprung king-size bed and the second bedroom contains full-size twin single beds. Although it boasts two market places, Middleham is a now really only a market town in name; the Yorkshire Dales community is better known these days for its links to The Sport of Kings – horse racing. The old town is just a short walk from your cottage, and includes excellent old pubs and local restaurants, along with a well-stocked general store. The famous ruined castle, founded as a simple moat-and-bailey structure in the 12th century, is less than half a mile away, where fantastic views stretch across Wensleydale. The nearby villages of West Witton and East Witton boast award-winning gastropubs and both are well worth a visit. Explore nearby Bolton Castle, visit the famous Aysgarth Falls or take a ride on the Wensleydale Railway. This delightful cottage is ideal for a family or for a romantic break.
The attractive Wensleydale town of Middleham is renowned for its history and race horses. Much of the history is bound up with its Norman castle, which has a keep second in size only to the Tower of London. The pretty market square is partially cobbled and offers a range of shops, pubs and places to eat. All in all a superb base for exploring Wensleydale and all within easy driving distance of York, the North York Moors and the Yorkshire Dales and Heritage Coast.

A comfortable stay with every thing we needed, a well maintained cottage. The centre of town was in easy walking distance, with a choice of places to eat and drink and plenty of interesting places to visit close by and further afield. We had a good time and would be happy to book again. There was a road diversion from the town centre to the cottage but once we knew where we were there was no problem.
