Beautiful cottage, lovely decor and equipped with everything you need. Very thoughtful owner who texted to make sure we arrived and a lovely welcome with a home baked cake. Fab location for the dog who loved walks up on the fields behind the cottage. All in all had a wonderful weeks stay.

Very comfortable, tasteful decor and furnishings made it a pleasure to stay in. All the little extras really made a difference as in tea, sugar, salt pepper, cooking oil, washing up liquid, etc. Thoughtful and good to have these all at hand. Home made scones were very welcomed, tasty and much appreciated when we first arrived. A very attractive andRead more comfortable house to stay in within a short distance of Pannal and not far from Harrogate. Lovely walks direct from the house too. Hide

Lovely cottage, comfortable and well equipped. The only downside is the considerable amount of traffic passing the house at speeds definitely higher than the 30mile limit and the steep hill climb back up from Pannal centre. Good location for walkers.

Sandy Banks is a lovely, homely cottage set it idyllic countryside with an amazing rock face backdrop in the back garden. It is a wonderful base upon which to explores various historical towns and places of importance, most notably Harrogate, Knaresborough, York, Ripley Village, Fountains Abbey and Brimham Rocks.

loved our weekend staying at this cottage. Great location for us. A short walk to the train station where you can get to all the main locations . Cottage was perfect for 5 of us - my elderly dad had the single room , was a bit small but adequate for the weekend, other rooms were good size. Quick 5 min drive to M&S to stock up for the weekend .

Lovely place to base yourself for trips to York, Harrogate and Knaresborough. We walked to the train station several times, to use the train for days out, which was great not having to use the car. Lovely countryside walks from the cottage too. There were 5 adults in our group....the single bed was a little on the small side for our youngest who isRead more 6ft 2! But he managed. Great shower, brilliant having the utility room with washer and dryer, and loved the log burner. We had a great week! Hide
