It was a lovely stay the cottage and view's were stunning

Really enjoyed our visit to the cottage. The location is absolutely stunning; the upside-down nature of the property really aided the outlook. NB any arrival information due to lack of mobile coverage! On entry to the cottage our first impressions a FREEZING COLD cottage, NO heating or water put on. It took about 6 hours to warm the place, not helped by the lack of wood (2 logs) kindling (nil) to get the small fire going. Not a good start really! The cottage has all the facilities & home comforts for a small family and we certainly had more than enough equipment to keep us fed, watered, entertained and comfortable. There was an iron&board mentioned but no board and the iron was pretty dirty! So we didn't use it. Hannah, brought up a board on the Wed. I would suggest the owner provides a welcoming pack with key telephone numbers forCB inn, pubs in Reeth/Langthwaite, vets etc. If possible some local tourist leaflets, maps could be of use. Note, Reeth had a very helpful tourist office, good store/PO and several pubs (black bull very good, dog friendly, rooms and good beer/food at reasonable price!) We ate and stayed at the CB inn also very good but slightly more expensive; still worth a visit. We visited Reeth, Leyburn (bigger town), Keld, Thwaite, Tan Hill and Grinton all are sorry the time, very pretty and enjoyable! The views from Fremington Edge, Merrick and Thwaite to Tan Hill are unforgettable. Our thanks to Hannah (holidayhomeyorkshire.co.uk) who had just taken over looking after the property and who baulked us out with the problems we had encountered. Lastly the holiday was marred over the last 2 days as the cottage has an electricity pre-paid meter (topped up by an sd card stick). After a long day out we returned to the property late afternoon to NO electricity, so place was cold, again, no lights and having checked the circuit breakers but knew that there was power arriving as there was a flashing box. Spoke to Hannah, who informed us that she (her dad) would top up the stick, bring it from Reeth to cottage and all would be good. So £20 sorted out our for about 15 hours. On the Sunday we had the same problem, so Hannah repeated the process. The owner should ensure that there's enough on the system! We spent the last 24-hours watching the credit disappear and frightened to take a decent shower. NB there were only 2 adults and it wasn't particularly cold!! We were glad to get to the CB and not have to worry about power consumption.
