Usherwoods Dairy, Tatham

This is a marvellous house. So much room , for 3 generations and a dog. Very comfortable, warm and well equipped. Lots of walks in the area. Beautiful. Lovely owners.

What can I say apart from this was one of the best places I've ever stayed & I've been all over Briton & Europe! The are was outstanding with amazing walks & bike rides. And just fantastic for dog walks. The holiday cottage was spotless when we arrived. The owners even left tea bags, coffee & sugar with biscuits as well! We can't thank them enough for an amazing week in the Dales! Places to visit are - Ingleton Waterfalls, Skipton Castle, Hawes Village & Kirkby Lonsdale. Just driving around the Dales was outstanding! We got our weekly food delivered on the day we arrived but there is a CoOp in Bentham which is a 15 minute drive away. I loved the local petrol garage as they asked me how much I put in my car!! Brings back memories as a kid! Thank Usherwoods as we will be returning ASAP! xxxxx

The welcome by the owners was very good, they were very friendly. The cottage was warm, comfortable and good for the wide range of ages in our party. The location and views were excellent even though the weather was not always kind to us.

Fantastic place; we all had a great time. Amazing views. The two pubs in Bentham were also very friendly. The lady who runs the cottage was also very friendly and helpful in picking out things to do during our weekend. Very much recommend it!

An absolutely lovely property. The directions were first class and all 10 of us got there easily, even in the dark. The owner, who lives next door but one, was so friendly and extremely welcoming - nothing was too much trouble. The scenery and views are spectacular even in the rain. Would highly recommend.

The layout of the property was ideal for large numbers wanting to socialise together.

We stayed here for a long weekend with extended family! Very good value for money. The kitchen was well equipped - especially then there are 11 of you and a baby. The owners were very accommodating and done everything they could to help us. It snowed very heavily the night before we were leaving. So in the morning, they gritted the driveway for us to help us out - exceptional service really. There are amazing views from all angles of the cottage. We will definitely be back :-).

The house - The kitchen was well equipped and easy to work in. The bedrooms are clean and comfortable with black out blinds in the sky lights. The living room was very cosy and the log burner very welcome after getting caught in the rain during our Ingleton trip! The house itself is like a show home, finished to a high standard and an absolute pleasure to call it home for a few days. The views are something else!! Look out of any window upstairs, downstairs, kitchen, or bedroom, they all are fantastic! Value for Money - 100% The surroundings - So much to see, so much to do! Some hidden gems so do your research and plan before you go. The Ingleton Waterfalls Trail is a great way to spend an afternoon. The amount of rain that had fallen made it a spectacular sight. The Hosts - Very welcoming and made sure we had everything we needed. Very knowledgeable about the surrounding area and had a real passion for it which was nice to see. We will be back again in the summer!!

The cottage was fantastic! It had everything you need for a family holiday. There was plenty of parking and the garden was huge with an amazing view.

We had a fantastic time at a fantastic property and will definitely book again in the future.

The house was perfect for a weeks holiday with friends. With panoramic views and a large garden for 5 teenage boys and 2 dogs. The house is very well equipped, clean and a fantastic big dining kitchen. We couldn't fault it and will hopefully be back.

This is beautiful property in a beautiful location. Throughly enjoyed by all age 2 to 70. Owners were welcoming and very easy to talk to. Lovely & quiet with all amenities. Safe outdoor area for children to play and enough internet signal to keep them entertained in the evening (cbeebies.com!). Close to lots of fun attractions, the caves, Lancaster, farm parks and just rambling around the local villiages. The local Mart was well worth a look on market day. We would stay here again in the future.

We had a great week at Usherwoods. It was very comfortable even with 6 adults and 3 kids. Had beautiful views, stunning sunsets and friendly, helpful owners.

Usherwoods dairy is set in beautiful countryside. The property is well thought out, everything you could possibly need is there. Linen & towels were top quality & all the bedrooms were very comfortable. We used the property as a base for a family gathering following a wedding.

From the moment we stepped through the door we were impressed. Usherwoods is a fantastic property; spacious, well equipped and very comfortable. The layout and décor was well thought out and added to the overall charm of the place. Despite the weather being very wet and wild, we were all snug and warm inside and overall had a wonderful time. We are looking to book again next year.

Usherwoods Dairy was in a perfect location, very quiet. The owner greeted us and answered our questions. The cottage was very clean and very homely.

Fantastic property in a beautiful location. Lovely big family kitchen. Comfortable and warm.

We had a fabulous time, the house is done to a great standard, we loved the fire, bedrooms were spacious and the underfloor heating was great!!

Wonderful views, spacious accommodation and excellent garden for the dog. Owner very helpful. Excellent pub in Low Bentham for meals.

The cottage was perfect for us. The kitchen is huge, with a big dining table, the bedrooms suited us, especially the black-out Velux in one of the singles (for the baby). The "main" bedroom is large with a beautiful en-suite and the family bathroom has a huge bath. The views from the property and the garden are just wonderful. We were able to let the kids roam the garden - they were fascinated by the chickens and sheep!

Usherwoods Dairy was very cosy and plenty of room for the 9 of us.

The location of the property was superb. There was more than enough room in the kitchen and excellent facilities. The garden was an added bonus and the views were spectacular.

We were really pleased with the size, layout and standard of the property. We were a group of 11, including 2 small children, and there was plenty of room for all of us. I particularly liked the large kitchen/dining area, which was great for all gathering around the big table for family dinners. The Dairy is set in beautiful surroundings with great views. In short, it was ideal for our stay!

Spacious, well laid out property was well stocked with everything we needed, including thoughtful touch of freshly laid eggs in the fridge waiting for us. Big kitchen/dining area was highlight for me, great for cooking and sitting down for big family meals. The weather was unfortunately pretty wet for the week we were there so didn't do as many walks as we would have liked but still got to explore some of the surrounding countryside, which was beautiful. There were plenty of leaflets in the cottage with suggestions for activities and destinations nearby for kids and grown ups. All in all, would happily recommend!

The location of the property was very nice with excelling views of the countryside.

The cottage was excellent for the family to get together and situated in a stunning location made all the better by excellent weather which allowed for outdoor activities on all days.

We booked Usherwoods Barn and Dairy together for a large group of adults and children for a weekend in March. Both properties surpassed our expectations and all of our friends commented on how great they were. There was lots of room for everyone, plenty of space to cook, dine and lounge about. There were great views of the Lakes and the three Peaks from the cottages. Fantastic. We were greeted by the owners who were very friendly and the three wallabies were an added bonus!

We have just returned from our second stay at Usherwoods and it was as good as ever! Great views, cosy accommodation and friendly owners, I would definitely recommend the Dairy for a group holiday!

Lovely accommodation.

Nice spacious accommodation, warm and comfortable.

The property was a warm and comfortable retreat from the poor weather which occurred during the weekend we stayed. There was ample parking and the owners, who lived next door were friendly and informative.

This wonderful house immersed in an area of outstanding natural beauty can recharge your batteries. You can feast your eyes from the marvellous views just looking out of the windows. the house has all you need to feel comfortable in and not feel that you miss something from home.

We have just returned from a fantastic weekend at Usherwoods Dairy and Barn. We hired both, which gave 15 of us lots of space to spread out. Both cottages are fabulous. Extremely well equipped, everything of high quality. The photographs on the website do not do either of them justice. The views are stunning, it is very quiet and peaceful; perfect for a cosy winter weekend. Highly recommended.

The location of the property was perfect.

We loved everything, it was lovely to get out in the open and just go for walks.

We have just returned from an amazing week at Usherwoods. There were 11 people in our group of 3 families. The house was spacious both inside & out and at no point did anybody feel on top of each other. The location was perfect for our group with all necessary amenities only a short drive away. It's in a great location for day trips out to the lakes & Ingleton etc but not too far from Lancaster for big shops & cinemas etc. The owners were so friendly and available for any requirements we had. They even left us some basic supplies of tea & coffee etc for our arrival. We all had such a good time that we have booked another 2 holidays for 2014. I'm counting down the days already.

We loved everything about the property. It was a home from home where everybody felt comfortable, at ease and relaxed. The garden was amazing and safe for the children to run about and play. It is in a perfect position for local walks, and is not too far from civilization.

Very nice and quiet. Lovely area and views, great for walking the dogs. I would go again.

Fantastic place for a large party. I had my 40th birthday on the Saturday that we arrived. Everybody who stayed at Usherwood enjoyed themselves and could not fault the facilities and the impressive views.

Usherwoods Dairy was simply lovely. We had such a fantastic time. The whole house is well equipped and in a fantastic rural area which was so pretty - could not have asked for a better few days away.

Usherwoods Dairy was an ideal venue for ten members of our three-generation family, plus one dog and a tortoise. The owner was extremely pleasant but not at all intrusive. Everything we needed was provided and the whole place was spotlessly clean. So relaxing to watch the cows, sheep and hens in the fields next to the garden. Lovely views all around, and a very interesting area to explore. Highly recommended.

Ten of us had a wonderful week in this lovely, well-designed cottage in beautiful surroundings. We found it very relaxing to just sit and watch the animals, with no traffic noise.

What a fabulous place, every need catered for, beautifully furnished & decorated. Set in a wonderful area, private but near enough to ask for assistance & near enough to local ameanities.

I cannot recommend Usherwoods Dairy highly enough. The accommodation was spacious and well equipped. The views splendid and the wood burner fire, a perfect centrepiece to catch up on all our lives at our family reunion.

The cottage was better than we expected and the owner was very friendly and helpful. The location and views were also a delight.

A very enjoyable break and excellent accommodation. The cottage was decorated to a very high standard, even the towels were large, soft and fluffy. We were a party of 12 and it felt very spacious. Kitchen equipment was matched perfectly to the size of the party. The children loved feeding the wallabies banana skins. Would definitely recommend.

We received a very friendly welcome. Home from home.

Location superb, accommodation spacious and very comfortable with excellent views. Owners were very friendly and helped out on several occasions when we needed it.

Thoroughly enjoyed our holiday and appreciated the generous space available. The owners were very approachable.

The property was amazing. The photo's to not do it justice at all. It is so well thought out and covers every need you could have. The surrounding land and views were spectacular. We had a fantastic time and the owners were superb.

The location of the property was ideal, relatively isolated with fantastic views.

Such a lovely cottage! The rooms were great, nice lounge and a perfect kitchen. We really enjoyed it and we'll be back!

The comfort and warmth of the property. The walking and relaxation. The friendship.

Cottage was warm and welcoming, despite the wild windy weather. There was plenty of room for 4 generations of our family, ranging in age from 2 to 82, to have a lovely Christmas! We loved the Christmas tree and the wallabies...our border collie loved the under floor heating and the wood burner.

Nice, quiet location which was perfect for our annual get away.

The service as usual met all critera for a trouble free holiday. The directions shown to the 'Dairy' accurate and easy to follow. The accomodation was of a high specification with attention to detail and would suit a large party/gathering with plenty of parking. Plenty of space both internally and externally, large kitchen/dinning, lounge, utility room,adequate shower rooms/bathroom/toilet facilities. Good size entrance hall to cater for all outdoor clothing and shoes/boots of walkers before entering the main part of the cottage. The cottage was very warm and friendly controllable. Location is excellent for The Dales and surrounding countryside to include The Lakes. Many places of interest, to include picture post card towns,caves, waterfalls, beautiful country walks, of which there are many provided in the up to date guides at the cottage. A car is a requirement due to the remote situation but also close enough to a village for day to day shopping requirements. A few excellent places to eat out locally. A truly rural environment can be enjoyed by staying at 'Dairy'.

Beautifully designed house, very well appointed and everything worked - all showers, cooker, washing machine, dishwasher etc.Lovely range. Comfortable lounge with lots of room. Comfortable beds and plenty of space. Beautiful area with good walking. Very welcoming with local information available. Stunning views from the house. Best - we thought the property was great and the area lovely.Just what we, as a large family, were looking for.

The property was thoughtfully designed, very comfortable and warm - a pleasure to live in. The views are terrific and there is plenty of walking immediately available.

We rented the cottage for a week. The cottage was outstanding. Very clean, warm and comfortable. We were made to feel very welcome and would definitely stay there again.

Our annual gathering took place here this year, from all parts of the UK and Ireland. with ages from 2 to 60 the house accomodated all of us with ease. Well appointed and roomy, some noise, but what can you expect from three teenagers. Well positioned to visit the many attractions in the area, but a quiet haven if you just want to chill. Best supermarket a bit of a ride, but what are lists for. The owners were next door if required, but we never saw them or needed them. One of the best places we have found in 20 years of annual gatherings and ifit wasn't for the factthat we never visit the same place twice I would have no hesitation in booking the house again. You won't be disappointed if you go there for your holiday.

The property was very good and was situated in a great location for exploring the Dales. Plenty of room for a large family gathering. Large garden and ample car parking spaces. Friendly and helpful owners on site.

Loved the house and the owners were very friendly and approachable.

The view out the windows was stunning and the house was extremely relaxing. The location was great being not too far out of Lancaster and the Yorkshire Dales. The house retained its warmth very well during the cold Autumn week. The landlady was very friendly and welcoming and all efforts had been made to provide visitors with all the relevant information in the welcome pack.

This was the first time I had booked a Sykes cottage for a family holiday for 8 adults, including my brother and sister in law visiting from Perth, Australia, and the cottage lived up to all of our expectations. I am sure I shall use Sykes again and recommend them to everyone I know. Thank you.

The property was in a stunning location and not too far from the nearest town, with lots to do within a 20 mile radius for all age groups. The property easily absorbed all of us and was very comfortable. We would love to come back to visit the places we didn't have time for - thoroughly recommended!

The spaciousness of the cottage and the fabulous views.

It was fantastic to have a few days in the country in an amazing property, we went with friends and everyone really loved it. There was plenty of space and the cottage was fantastic - not to mention it was a beautiful location.

The location, lovely peaceful place, great for walking and scenery. Ideal for dogs and children. The property was great. Clean, tidy, modern and relaxing.

We loved the cottage! The ground floor bedroom and shower room was useful. The position was breathtakingly beautiful with lovely walks. The owners were friendly but not intrusive and the wallabies provided hours of entertainment for the children.

This was a real find. A large comfortable converted dairy. Very clean and well appointed- nothing was overlooked ( except the en-suite did not have a shaving mirror ) The views were spectacular- The walks wonderful for dogs and humans alike. Our grand children were facinated by the wallabies and the joeys. A wonderful restful place.

Warm, well equipped properties with friendly, helpful owners in a stunning location. We rented both the Dairy and Barn as we were a large group. The situation and views from the properties were fantastic and we saw some lovely sunsets. We particularly enjoyed the good walking right from the door and found the local countryside very unspoilt. We pre ordered a Tesco internet shop which was delivered right on time by a friendly delivery driver. All in all a wonderful experience and can't wait to go back again.

The huge, open-plan kitchen was perfect for large groups. The photo's on the website don't do it justice.

This is the second time we have stayed at Usherwoods Dairy with a large family party. It suited us all and the under floor heating was a particular bonus over Christmas for the two crawling babies! The owner was extremely helpful, yet again. I would thoroughly recommend this property.

This property is in the most beautiful location. You are literally surrounded by jaw-dropping scenery. There are views of the Lake District, the Howgills, the Three Peaks of the Yorkshire Dales and the Forest of Bowland. There were endless options for places to explore in the surrounding area, within an hour being in either the Lake District or the Dales and the local area was also a real revelation. That is of course, if you want to leave the house! Extremely easy check-in - the key was in the door! We had a wave from the owners as we passed them on the drive and they popped by later when we had had time to unpack and settle in. The owners are very helpful and we felt they would do anything to be of assistance - they even said give us a call anytime if you need any recommendations and were accomodating even when we popped around asking for firewood on a cold, wet evening - within 5 minutes the basket of wood was delivered to our porch. Half an hour after our arrival, Tesco arrived with our shopping - all we had to do was put it away. The house is beautifully clean - not a speck of dust and was unbelievably warm with the underfloor heating throughout the doorstairs and cosy open fire. The bedrooms were well appointed, we had tonnes of room and we enjoyed having a bathroom each (there are 3 in total). The kitchen was very well equipped and we loved cooking on the stove. The grounds were lovely and Blanche our bulldog was extremely happy to meet the local animals, the sheep, ducks, wallabies and her fave, the friendly cows, who seemed to worship her! Highly recommended and will hopefully return if travelling with a larger group.

The owners were very friendly - we had the impression they would do anything to help make our stay more enjoyable. The cottage was extremely well equipped, with everything you would need and more. We absolutely loved the views and location.

The location and the quality of the property. Also, the owners live next door and were very friendly and helpful

Very spacious and ample room for family games on lawn. Owners very helpful.

Beautiful location and great property. The house is beautiful and very comfortable. Having children, the big garden enabled many hours of football.

Ideal for walking in the country. Good for the dogs. Good local shops and takeaways. Fairly near to shops and public houses but better if you have own transport.

The cottage was warm and cosy. It was well equiped and decorated. The cottage had fantastic views and the owners were very friendly and helpful.Lots of places locally to visit but also lovely just to relax and enjoy the peace. highly reccommended

The cottage itself was just what we wanted, lots of space for everyone.

Very friendly owners who took the time to welcome you and were helpful with providing information on the local area.

An excellent large property, clean and beautifully kept, loads of room for 10 of us and not being on top of each other! Wonderful views all round from every window. Lots of lovely walks. Very kind and helpful owners. We required a third key and they went out specially and had one cut for us. A perfect Christmas holiday was had by us all, ages ranging from 2 to 70 years.

A very spacious and comfortable property for a large party and situated in a very beautiful location.

We go away as a large group of girls every january and had a wonderful time last year here. The decor of the house was very impressive and comfortable and we had loads of room to enjoy our stay. We wokr to lovely viewd and never had to worry about annoying the neighbours due to the location of the property. We did have a few problems at first finding this property in the dark but thankfully our tesco delivery van found us and helped us find the propoerty and an added bonus that while we in the middle of the country we could still have all our food delivered. It was little isolated in the moors though this was a plus for us as the scenery was beautiful and there was lots of walking if you felt so inclined! All in all a wonderfu; property to get away from it all, perfect for large groups of friends and families!

We had a group of 9 people, so finding a nice place with plenty of room was our main objective. The cottage was spacious and comfortable, with great common areas for gathering and quiet places to retreat from the crowd. Beautiful showers, excellent kitchen facilities, and a nice patio. The sunsets were exquisite from the back garden windows and the patio. Our group hiked, biked and rode horses all within the immediate vicinity of the cottage. Pubs and shops were a brisk walk away in High Bentham, and the sights of the Dales were a short drive away. All in all a great experience!

This was a fantastic base for two families to stay in. From the moment we walked in we felt welcome. Everywhere was spotless and bright and there were nice touches such as a pint of milk, tea coffee and biscuits waiting in the kitchen. Both families had privacy and plenty of room. The 'communal' areas ie, the kitchen and the lounge were spacious and well equipped. The location was great with easy access to lots of interesting places for days out eg. Malham Cove. The kids loved the garden and enjoyed having the cows peering over from the nearby field. We liked everything about this cottage. All in all excellent.

The view from the property, towards the Three Peaks, was spectacular. The large kitchen diner was fantastic and the house was perfect for our big family holiday. The kids also loved being able to feed the wallabies on the farm!

It was a peaceful out of the way destination.

Although semi detached there is still a feeling of peaceful seclusion. Great for walkers or just some who wish peace and quiet.

The cottage was wonderful in every way. Very comfortable, spacious and very well equipped. Lovely location with wonderful views. Cannot recommend this property highly enough.

The cottage was fabulous for us and the four children loved the garden and playing hide and seek in the many bedrooms! Our host was very welcoming and everything that we needed was provided for us.

This property was ideal for large parties with children and dogs. Plenty of room inside which was great. Owners very friendly and helpful.

The cottage was excellent! Great for kids and for walking holidays with fantastic views of Yorkshire and the surrounding area.

The standard of the property was excellent and exceeded our expectations. The remote rural location was exactly what we were looking for.

The property was very peaceful and the close proximity of the wildlife was wonderful. The cottage was a brilliant size for our group with all the amenities that we needed. The huge bath was a great welcome surprise, we would recommend the property to all our friends and family.

The property was everything we could ask for; very clean, well appointed and with a location and views that could not have been better. The owner was friendly and helpful, and the children (and the adults!)in our group loved the sheep and wallabies! Thank you for a fantastic holiday.

Friendly hosts, lovely position, lovely grounds and superb a cottage layout. Wonderful huge kitchen. We all felt as if we had lots of space. Excellent recycling area. Wallabies were a delight and something we were unaware of! We would recommend the property to others and would be pleased to rebook if we were coming to the same area. Thank you.

The owners were friendly and helpful and it really did feel like home for the week. The fluffy white towels and crisp white bedding were a treat.

We go away as a group every year for a girlie get together and with 11 of us, we found Usherwoood was perfect with plenty of space for us all to relax and enjoy our weekend. The standard of accommodation was first class with spectacular views. All in all, well recommended for larger groups!

Very warm, comfortable and spotlessly clean property. Everything you could wish for. Lots of room for 8 adults and 2 children. Beautiful setting in wonderful countryside with fantastic views all round. 100% recommend this property.

An excellent property for a large party of people. Quiet location, wonderful views. Enjoyed the cows, sheep and wallabies!

Excellent views over the Dales. Added interest of the many animals at the property (ostrich, wallaby, geese, cows, hens and sheep). There was easy access to many tourist attractions.

Very warm welcome nice touches eg complimentary milk/biscuits on arrival Excellent property, beautiful location - lots of places to visit. The peace and quiet!

Good spacious accommodation. Fantastic bathrooms and a warm house. Really superb stay.

A very high standard of accommodation in a beautiful setting. Owners were very friendly and helpful.

A truly magnificent holiday, regarding both location and accommodation. A total of 10 people (4 adults, 6 children) stayed at the accommodation and the place consumed us with ease. Fantastic space inside and out.

Great accommodation for a large mixed group ie. friends/extended family.

A great place...Overall excellent.

The accommodation was fantastic and the views beautiful. We had a stay as a family and the whole experience was wonderful, I would not hesitate to recommend Usherwoods Dairy to anyone.

The exceptionally high standard of accommodation and friendliness of the cottage owner. The accommodation really did make our holiday superb. The cottage location was also fantastic - close to the Dales with spectacular views.

The overall setting of the place and the comfort and facilities that the cottage offered were excellent. The place provided all the mod-cons but still managed to feel rustic and homely. The owner was very approachable and helpful, and I would definitely recommend it to groups of family and friends as a wonderful setting to get together.
