Wray Green, Ravenstonedale

The cottage was beautiful, it was comfortable and well equipped, cosy and welcoming. The views were to die for and we will definitely be booking again.

A wonderful historic cottage in a stunning location, with amazing views from every window. We immediately felt at home and soon settled in with cosy roaring fires. The sheep and lambs just outside made our holiday. Everything we could possibly need was provided and the owners were friendly and helpful.

Wray Green is a fantastic rural retreat. We were in need of some peace and quiet and that's exactly what we got. There were some amazing views and walks right on the doorstep. The open fire was fantastic. We are booking again for later in the year and have recommended the cottage friends.

Absolutely perfect getaway weekend with a group of friends. The cottage well and truly felt like home. It had everything we needed, exactly as stated in the description. Overall, a beautiful cottage.

This was our second and eagerly anticipated return to Wray Green having stayed 2 years ago. We planned a purely relaxing and de-stressing week with another couple and the almost constant rain and gale force winds conspired with us. We enjoyed sitting by a roaring log fires, eating, drinking and reading one of the many books left to entertain guests in the warm and characterful 17th century farm house. The views are stunning on a clear day, the quiet and fresh air intoxicating and the sheep peering in the living room window entertaining. We jokingly hoped to be snowed in so that we didn't have to leave and woke up on the final day with a scene to grace the loveliest Christmas card. The owner was very prompt and helpful in getting the track de-iced and much as we were sad to leave we will definitely be booking to come back again very soon.

This was our second time at Wray Green. We like how remote the property is. It is very well equipped with everything you are likely to need. It is a very cosy and homely property, just what is needed for a relaxing holiday.

Absolutely loved Wray Green - the most stunning views (and sheep!) all around, loads of great walks and the house itself had so much character, interest and warmth. The owners were also very helpful and friendly. All perfect.

17th Century cottage with bags of character. We all LOVED it. Lots of walks available. Chris gave me loads of information about the cottage and the area before we left home and even phoned me again when I got home after the holiday to make sure everything was ok. What a conscientious owner. Very thoughtful! We LOVED the cottage and will certainly consider returning there another time.

The cottage was beautiful and in such a lovely setting. The owners are very helpful and care about the cottage. There are several lovely dining pubs nearby - all of which are very good. I would certainly go back to this cottage.

So much thought and care had been put into making this special cottage comfortable and well equipped. The location is absolutely stunning and it was lovely to spend a week here. The access road was very good and not a problem at all. The owners were very kind and welcoming, but not at all intrusive. This all ensured we had a lovely memorable holiday.

The owners were particularly welcoming and helpful. We immediately felt right at home in the house which was very comfortably furnished in a charming traditional style. The location was splendid, with magnificent views and great walking all around. We enjoyed the 1000 piece jigsaws (all 3 completed) and the children loved the board games that were provided. No one missed watching TV!

Wray Green is well positioned for walks from the doorstep and has stunning views. The property is cosy and welcoming with a large coal fire in the lounge and log burner in the Kitchen/Dining area. We were fortunate that it snowed during our stay so a combination of glowing fires and snow outside made it very appealing.

The cottage was in a lovely rural and remote setting, just what we wanted. When we arrived, we were greeted by the cleaner, she was very welcoming and friendly. It was very homely and very well stocked with crockery etc. It supplied everything we needed, even down to a good selection of board games, books and details of local walks and pubs. It was good that the owner had a supply of coal and wood for the fire and trusted people to be honest and pay for what was used. We would definitely like to return.

Amazing experience, I feel totally chilled out and relaxed.

A lovely, cosy, well equipped cottage, set in lovely, peaceful and tranquil surroundings.

This was the best holiday cottage we have stayed in for the last 13 years we have been renting all around the UK. It was so peaceful and relaxing and what views to behold. Cosy, clean and quiet. We felt very at home. The dogs loved it too, such greats walks from the garden gate. The lovely owner was very helpful and informative. There was lots to do in the surrounding area. Friendly locals and good pubs nearby. Coming from the South East and living in a rather pretty spot ourselves, we really appreciated how unpopulated the area was. If your customers want to escape, this is the place. We had the best holiday and were genuinely sad to leave. We would definitely like to return someday.

The house appears to be isolated and is blissfully quiet but less than a 15 minutes drive to Sedburgh and Kirby Stephen. Excellent walking from the house and dog friendly.

Owners were friendly, it was nice to know there was someone to contact if we needed to. Loved the isolation and natural beauty of the place with walks right from the door. A perfect cottage for us and the dogs, it was total relaxation. Will book to come again.

The cottage is in a superb location, quiet, peaceful and very scenic; yet it is within easy distance of excellent pubs, restaurants, shops, walks and drives. Villages and valleys, interesting places to visit and even the motorway, for easy arrival and departure. The cottage itself is full of character and history, and the owners could not be more helpful.

We loved everything about the property! The owners are so helpful and kind. They even met us in the dark to take us up to the property. The house is amazing! So cosy and has a very homely feel to it. The kitchen has literally everything you may need and more, the lounge has a tv with lots of dvds to watch and games to play. The beds are so comfy, the views stunning and the waking up to the sound of sheep was bliss! We had lots of lovely walks with our 2 dogs and lots of meals around the table that seats 8 people.

Wray Green must be the best spot ever to get away from it all and have lovely walking from the doorstep and yet be close to the market towns of Kirkby Stephen and Sedbergh. The house is warm and comfortable yet full of historic charm. It's a real joy to be without a TV.

The remote position of the property is just what we wanted. The very old features of the building and furniture add to the charm of the house. The property and a piece of furniture dates back to mid 17th century. The view of the Fells and Cautley Spout was amazing in the morning sun. I would like to go back in the summer as there is a great spot at the front of the house for BBQ etc. The WiFi was said to be intermittent, but we did not have any trouble with it. Overall, brilliant place, and the photos on the Sykes website do not do the place justice.

Everything about this place oozed charm! The remoteness, the views, the old fashioned, original décor, the paintings, even the water tasted wonderful, earthy and sweet! Lovely!

An absolutely beautiful property in an amazing location. We could not believe how spectacular it was. Fantastic.

Perfect location away from everything. Fantastic views from cottage. Excellent walks on doorstep.

A lovely cottage with everything you need for a relaxing week. The cottage and garden are in excellent condition and the owners were very helpful but kept their distance allowing us to relax. Surrounding area was lovely. Will definitely be back.

Excellent cottage in a beautiful remote location.

This is the second time we've stayed at Wray Green. Beautiful cottage and surroundings. We really enjoyed nights in by the fire and walking to clear our heads!

Best suited for people who appreciate peace & tranquillity - a real haven. A wonderful holiday. Owners particularly helpful, caring and appreciating.

Peaceful and restful, just what we were looking for, and with beautiful scenery from every window. Owner very pleasant and helpful. Local farmer very friendly and interesting, told us where we could do badger watching, both my husband and I really enjoyed this a first for both of us. Would recommend this cottage to any one and we would book again.

Loved the cottage, very remote and peaceful. Lovely fires, great furniture, couldn't fault it. Wonderful that they accept two dogs, great walks nearby.

The 2nd time my group has visited Wray Green within 6 months tells you something! We find the location/ isolation wonderful. The Everhot (Aga) has now been mastered and we had a great time again. Would have booked for early November 2012 but someone has beaten me to the date.

We loved the remoteness, the open fire and how it was extremely well equipped in both activities and cooking equipment.

We enjoyed the remoteness, the views, walks straight out from the property and it was great to talk of an evening instead of being sat in front of the TV. Great time, will go again!

Everything was perfect! Great location and the cottage was of a very high quality.

The farmhouse was perfect in every way. The views were beautiful and the isolation of the property was wonderful.

The location of the cottage was perfect, very quiet and peaceful. The opportunity to stay in such a fabulous property. The layout of the farmhouse which really lent itself to a large group enjoying themselves together.

A wonderful "away from it all" holiday. The owners were exceptionally good. The views were wonderful, ambience superb and the cottage was out of this world.

Loved the warm welcome from the owners. Loved the cottage, the location, the views and the advise of where to walk! There was everything in the cottage that you could possibly need and more. Never been on a self catering holiday and felt more like I was in a home from home! Would definitely like to go back and would recommend this property to everyone, its beautiful.

Wray Green was everything we could imagine and more, from the antique furniture, the beams and the coal fire to the lovely views, breath taking walks and peace and quiet. Everything about it was perfect! The cottage had everything you could possible want or need. Having been used to self catering holidays in the past we expected to need a lot of basic household items but everything you could imagine was catered for. Plenty of leaflets of what to do and where to go as well as chatting to the owners when we got there, who gave us a few more ideas as well as the warmest of welcomes! If you want a week away that's peaceful and relaxed then we would strongly recommend this cottage!

I've been holidaying in cottages all my life and must say this is one of the best yet. Absolutely fantastic cottage with beautiful antique furniture and in a superb location to enjoy walks in both the Yorkshire Dales and the Lake District. No mobile phone or TV for a week was utter bliss too!

Great retreat from urban life. Idyllic views & setting. Cosy interior with rustic furnishings.

Wray Green was a wonderful place to stay. We loved the cottage, the views and the snow.

Property beautifully situated and excellently equipped. Suits those wanting peace and rest. Kirkby Stephen nearby has good shopping centre. Mulberry Cafe in Kirkby Stephen serves good meals and snacks. Brough Castle tea room and farm shop are very good too.

The owners were really helpful. Wray Green is very well equipped with books, DVD's. local info and more chairs than needed! Drying facilities were excellent - essential this wet summer.

Excellent 17th Century farmhouse. Altogether a fantastic location for a holiday. M6 nearby for Lake District and Morecambe. Close to Settle to Carlisle Railway. Fabulous walks nearby. Away from it all - without television and mobile phone reception!

Dog friendly, extremely peaceful. Book in advance for 'The Cross Keys Inn' on a Fri/Sat/Sun!

Fabulous location and property. Owners, lovely people, concerned that we had everything we needed and we fully enjoyed our stay!

I have stayed in many holiday cottages & this one surpassed them all. The location was perfect, the cottage was beautiful & everything had been thought of. It was a real home from home, we can't wait to go back.

Wonderful location. The cottage was well equipped and had a nice balance of remote beauty with access to local amenities.

This was a wonderful holiday and we certainly plan to return. Everything about the trip - from booking to arriving and departing was excellent.

A house oozing with character and charm situated in probably the best location we've yet encountered. We would definitely consider returning.

The cottage was so lovely and comfortable and set in beautiful surroundings. Extra touches, such as hot water bottles on our beds and a call from the cottage owners added to the overall experience.

Everything. Simply amazed at the cottage - the location - the surroundings and the weather! We had sun and snow all over 3 days! Can't wait to come back again later in the year.

This is a first class cottage. In a spectacular setting the cottage fits in perfectly. Helped by deep snow this was the perfect Christmas get away.

The cottage was lovely and cosy, with its open fire and woodburner. It's in a great location with amazing views.

Area super and peaceful, ideal for walking and touring Eden Valley and the How Gills. Owners gone to a lot of careful thought to provide for every need. Stunning location, handy for Sedbergh or Kirkby Stephen.

A beautiful old farmhouse. A warm welcome, excellent facilities and fully equipped with everything you might need. Lack of TV an added bonus to family time in front of roaring log fires.

Very peaceful and an excellent area for walks. Almost don't want to rhapsodise too much about this cottage as it might be booked up when we come again in summer!

We had a wonderful break, the location of the cottage was breathtaking. Isolated but with every home comfort. It was good to be within easy reach of the Lake District without having to stay in an overcrowded area. I would highly recommend this property.

A great location to explore either the Dales or the Lake District. A stunning location for a charming property. This well equipped home from home was relaxing and spacious. Very friendly and helpful owners.

The cottage was beautiful- just the place for a relaxing week away. It was very well equipped. The cottage had stunning original features. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

The location was absolutely perfect for getting away from it all. The sound of silence was absolutely breathtaking. It was one of those few occasions where the details do not do justice to the property. We'd certainly return there in the future.

We loved it all!. The house is full of warmth and character and everything in it suits it perfectly. The Howgill Fells make for the most beautiful landscape in the country and the house sits right out amongst them, far from any other habitation. The views from the garden and windows are incomparable.

A wonderful property out in the sticks, an absolute joy to stop at and will definitely be returning for a further holiday as soon as possible.
