Decided to “get away” for a pre Christmas break for our wedding anniversary
in the Dales and happened upon The Dairy by chance.
What a great time we had at this lovely little cottage, the standard of the accommodation was exceptional in all departments. The thought that has gone into this property is fantastic, the dairy is mainly focused for guests with disabilities but suitable for all.
The hamlet that this cottage is situated in is peaceful, however a great pub is only a short walk away that serves good pub grub, an extra bonus!
So impressed with the Dairy, the location and the owners on site who are extremely accommodating, a lovely couple who go that extra mile for their guests.
Will definitely return!

If only all self catering cottages were as good as this.
Diane and Andrew make every stay here as good (if not better) than the first time. The attention to detail - whether it is the provision of kitchen equipment, cutlery, crockery, bedding or towels - the standard is always excellent.
The Dairy is more than worthy of the 5 stars Gold award.
The Yorkshire Dales are a great area to visit. Even after 10years we always find new locations or favourite places to re-visit.

Thank you Diane and Andrew, you think of everything to make us comfortable and go beyond to ensure we have an amazing break in your wonderful accommodation. We can't wait for our next visit to your superb holiday cottages.

It is wonderful to arrive at The Dairy in Wensleydale with total confidence that everything is in place for a fantastic relaxing holiday. The owners, Diane and Andrew, have thought of everything….and more !
This was our third stay in this beautiful cottage. It is a joy both inside and outside in the charming garden.
My husband is disabled and it can be a challenge to find truly accessible accommodation with the correct equipment. This cottage meets his needs perfectly. There is also lots of helpful information about accessibility in the Yorkshire Dales, so we enjoyed some super trips in the area.

The Dairy is in a lovely location with views of the countryside. It has a patio that overlooks the well kept gardens - a lovely place to sip your morning tea. Diane and Andrew are exceptional hosts and work hard to make sure any guest has a wonderful stay in their well equipped luxury cottages. There are lots of lovely walks nearby and plenty of places locally to enjoy a good meal. We like staying there so much we return acouple of times a year.

The cottage is very well furnished with a well thought out design, feels like home.

The stay at the Dairy was the best ever apart from the poor weather. I’m a paraplegic and now, due to health, need more help getting into and out of bed etc. They provided me with a profile bed, a portable hoist and a wheel in shower chair. What more could I ask for. The owners care so much for you to have the best holiday you could have. Their garden is fully accessible and you are very welcome to enjoy it. Home from home.

The Dairy is spacious, beautifully furnished and well equipped. On warm evenings we sit on the patio and admire the views over rolling countryside and Diane and Andrew's well kept garden. If its cold then we light the wood burning stove and relax indoors with a glass of wine. What more could you ask for after a day walking in the nearby rolling hills.

We were lucky enough to discover Cottage in the Dales in 2015 & have returned every year since, sometimes twice a year. We've run out of superlatives to describe The Dairy, simply everything you could need, to the highest standard, to enjoy the peace & tranquility of this beautiful area. If the accommodation wasn't enough the owners Diane & Andrew are perfect hosts, so friendly & welcoming & determined to ensure their guests have the best possible stay. By way of recommendation we've booked to return every year until 2027!

As a full-time wheelchair user, it is very rare to find a cottage in the UK that is truly accessible and meets all our needs. The accessible equipment we usually have to take on holiday with us is extensive. Not anymore - The Dairy has so much equipment available, all free of charge, we didn’t need to take all the paraphernalia we usually take with us
As well as being disabled friendly, the cottage itself is a delight with all the accessible features carefully hidden from view. The quality of the fixtures and fittings is superb with everything made bespoke. The kitchen is fantastic with lots of accessible features such as panels which can be removed so a wheelchair user can fit underneath the sink and hob.
The owners, Diane and Andrew, are a lovely couple. They met us when we arrived and showed us around. There was a welcome tray with lots of bits and pieces including a loaf of bread which Andrew took out of the bread maker when we were there. It was absolutely delicious, spread with lashings of the butter that they also provided. Andrew and Diane are a joy to deal with. They are unobtrusive and let you get on with your holiday, but are available if needed.
The festive welcome pack which was received a few weeks prior to our visit was very helpful and we tried a couple of the recommended eating places. The Bake-Well cafe/takeaway do a mean bacon and egg sandwich and is well worth a visit.
The Dairy is now on our list to rebook at some point in the future but there are already very few dates left in 2024. My advice to anyone reading this review is, If a date becomes available, grab it. You won’t be disappointed.

The Dairy is an amazing cottage in every respect. It is warm, comfortable and in a perfect location for exploring Wensleydale and the surrounding area. Everything in the cottage is of the highest possible specification and every aspect of living life within it has been thought about and provided. We only needed a few of the accessibility features, but it's good to know that the provision is there for whatever we might need in the future. I can recommend this cottage in every respect.

As a frequent visitor to the Dairy we always look forward to our stay. On our arrival we can smell the freshly baked bread and there always a tray layed with tea, coffee and chocolates. So once unpacked we can enjoy our afternoon tea sitting on the patio admiring the views of both garden and surrounding countryside. Diane and Andrew are excellent hosts and go above and beyond to make our stay as enjoyable as possible.

We stay at this cottage as often as we can, in fact would take up residency if the owners would allow it! The degree of thought and planning and attention to detail shown by Diane and Andrew is evident at every turn - from the moment the booking is made, the run up to the holiday, the welcome on arrival and the stay itself not just up to departure day but with a bit of aftercare too. The thought and attention goes way beyond what you'd normally expect as it includes ensuring that everyone, regardless of any disability, can relax and enjoy this beautiful part of the world.

We arrived on a dreary November afternoon to be greeted by a lovely welcome from Diane and a gloriously warm and comfortable cottage, recently decorated for Christmas. We have stayed in all 3 of their cottages & enjoy returning because we know of the high quality with every detail attended to with great care. If we have any queries or requests Diane, Andrew or Rachel is available to offer help but are unobtrusive otherwise. There is a wealth of regularly updated information in the cottage, lovely walks from the door or further afield and many places of interest to explore. A peaceful spot to relax in or to venture out from to explore.

It feels like coming home to return here. Exceptional interior design, discreet disability features. I repeat my first comment on this property in 2019, why can’t every luxury ‘accessible’ property / hotel room be like this .
Perfect property, perfect hosts, perfect location.
There was a short power cut during our stay. No problem, we had emergency lighting, we had a visit from our hosts to check we had everything we needed, we were guided to where we could find torches and after the outage another visit to check on us again. Where else would this happen ?!

This was our third stay in The Dairy and it never disappoints as the owners really have thought of everything. The bread maker is a lovely touch with a loaf freshly baked for your arrival. The cottage, surrounding area and gardens are always immaculate. The owners live in the farmhouse nearby but are not intrusive, if they see you outside they check all is ok and if there are any special events on the week of your stay not covered in the leaflets in the cottage they let you know, and they also advise on road closures or if some roads may be difficult due to snow for your journey home. We wouldn’t consider staying anywhere else when we visit Yorkshire as The Dairy is perfect for us in every way.

The best way I can review Cottage in the Dales is to let you know that we've been staying there at least once a year since May 2016 and from 2020 twice a year, the second visit of which is always the 2 weeks that cover Christmas and New Year. We are currently pre-booked through to 2016. We wouldn't have continued to stay if it wasn't the most fantastic of places - we've stayed in The Byre and The Dairy.

We usually holiday elsewhere during the year but we're always glad to return to The Cottage in the Dales.

This is the third time we have stayed at the Dairy. It really has every luxury, the owners are so welcoming and helpful, the location is idyllic and there is a whole range of accessible features and equipment available if needed. There is a small courtyard garden and visitors can also make use of the larger shared peaceful gardens. Perfect for a short break or a longer stay.

This is the fifth time we have stayed at the cottage. It is our favourite holiday cottage and the best equipped we've ever come across for a disabled person.
Friendly owners are always trying to improve our stay.

We've been staying at Cottage in the Dales since 2015, and the Dairy has become our 'go to' place to get away and relax. The area is beautiful, the accommodation is absolutely first class in terms of comfort and equipment, everything has been so well planned & thought through, and the quality is outstanding. What elevates it beyond merely somewhere very comfortable to stay are the owners Diane & Andrew, they simply couldn't be more welcoming and determined for guests to enjoy their stay, they are delightful. After a day exploring this stunning area of the country there's nothing nicer than to return to the cottage and enjoy a glass of something while enjoying their amazing garden. We plan to return many, many more times.

The Dairy is a wonderful cottage set in a beautiful garden with views of the Yorkshire Dales. There are walks from the cottage or a short drive away. You can prepare lovely meals in the fully equipped kitchen or drive to one of the many restaurants nearby.. The owners Diane and Andrew go to great lengths to ensure one's stay is enjoyable. We love the place so much that we return again and again.

Another brilliant stay at this super cottage. The owners do everything possible to make guests welcome and experience the best of the Dales and surrounding areas. We have stayed here several times and the cottage is always exceptionally well maintained, clean, luxurious with everything thought of and added generous touches such as freshly baked bread and local produce. The accessibility features are well thought through and bespoke to each guests requirements. We have booked the property twice a year well into the future, testament to the exceptionally high standards of the owners.

When it comes to holidays we have a rule, that is why go back to somewhere when there are lots of other places to see and a very extensive bucket list. Of course for every rule there has to be an exception and The Dairy is that exception. It has everything we need, it is comfortable, everything has a quality feel, its quiet and in a beautiful part of the world, what is there not to like! The sense of serenity, peace and above all silence (other than nature) calms the soul.

We had one small issue which we raised with Diane and Andrew, by the time we got home (50 miles) we had an email telling us it had been “sorted” for our next visit in May 2022. We love this place so much we have annual visits booked through to 2025.

The Dairy has been lovingly put together. It is all on one level and provides everything and more for a most comfortable stay. The kitchen is well equipped with plenty of pots, pans, crockery and cutlery along with dishwasher and washer/drier. Nothing has been forgotten even a picnic basket, flask and rug. Very comfy bed with choice of duvet and pillow filling. Log burner (with plenty of wood) made it really cosy on cold January days.
Lovely touch was a loaf of bread baking in the bread maker along with butter, chocolates, milk and jams.
Short walk down lane to local pub, for good Sunday carvery.
Due to a cancellation by an overseas visitor, we were able to book the other cottage The Byre, in August. We can't wait to return. We would thoroughly recommend these cottages.

We had 3 wet days in January at the Dairy and it couldn't have been more sunny! What a perfect cottage to stay in with the highest quality fittings and a really lovely space to enjoy. We felt very much at home with a roaring fire on one of the nights we were there. So much thought has gone into the layout and design of the property to make it as comfortable and useable as possible and if you didn't know it, you would have no idea it was an accessible property. Diane was at hand to help when we needed to ask a question and was super fast to respond to communication, and could not have been more helpful. We would definitely recommend this cottage and look forward to returning.

What a treasure! Absolutely stunning property with super high end finish. All amenities you could wish for including the essentials on arrival. This cottage oozes charm and sophistication from the exposed stonework and large log burner fireplace to the huge bed and WOW bath/wet room. The warmth and cosy atmosphere of the cottage makes you want to relax and simple enjoy your surroundings. Set in a beautiful location in God's Country, a welcome 3minute walk to the local pub through the farm lane or 10minute walk round sticking to tarmac road. Set in beautiful gardens with great views of the dales in a quiet location, some great walks within easy reach and close to several villages with charming galleries, shops, tearooms and pubs. Price is on the heavier side but more than covers the quality of what you get in style and finish.
As we stayed pre Christmas break we enjoyed the festive decorations too which added a wonderful addition to boot! All in all we feel privileged to have stayed here and would have no hesitation in being a returning guest and fully recommend to others who appreciate the finer touches in life.

Another stay at this beautiful, tranquil, exceptionally well equipped cottage. Everything is brilliantly designed and perfectly maintained, spotlessly clean, with everything you could possibly need for a truly luxurious stay in this wonderful part of Yorkshire. The owners, Diane and Andrew, are unrelenting in making the cottage and surrounding gardens perfect and safe for their guests needs and are always, but unobtrusively on hand, to assist you with making the most of your holiday. We love that all of the art work is available to buy, so the cottage is your own private viewing gallery. There is extensive information on the best places to visit, eat and shop with particular focus on accessibility.
We are looking forward to our next holidays booked at The Dairy. A true gem.

Don’t hesitate, book now. It’s gorgeous!

This was our second visit to Cottages in The Dales, this time staying in The Dairy. Every aspect of the cottage is incredibly well thought out, it is perfect in every way, from the beautiful exterior, planters filled with flowers and grasses, the fabulous terrace overlooking Diane and Andrew's immaculate and extensive gardens and all with superb views. The level of comfort is second to none. The Dairy is very spacious with a fabulous sitting area and large inglenook fire place, the bedroom is large and has the most comfortable bed and pillows, wardrobe storage is plentiful as are the hangers (something so many places never provide enough of!). Diane thinks of absolutely everything and more and you will want for nothing. The hand built bespoke kitchen is a delight to be in and there are so many 'extra' touches on arrival, beautiful hand made local chocolates, local cheese, even a freshly baked loaf of bread wafting through the cottage timed perfectly for you as you enter the property. The bathroom is enormous, the shower powerful, the towels thick, fluffy and luxurious and of course the gorgeous White Company toiletries provided for your use are always a joy to use. If you fancy a soak there is also a large bath too. The interior decor and furnishing is immaculate. The cleaning standards and the presentation are exceptional, if only every other self catering offering could have such high standards. There are many first rate dining options within an easy drive. Finally the location of all Diane and Andrew's properties are in the perfect location for either staying local and walking from the cottages or for travelling further afield to explore The Dales National Park.

This was our third visit to these cottages. This time we stayed in The Dairy which we found to be just as comfortable as Inglenook & The Byre. The cottage was spotlessly clean & we felt Andrew & Diane were doing all they could to minimise any potential Covid problems. It was a wonderful spot for relaxation - we sat on the patio with the Sunday papers, overlooking the glorious garden. We enjoyed walks from the door and ventured further afield too. There is plenty of choice of places to visit around here, surrounded by beautiful countryside.

We have been staying at the Dairy twice a year for several years and never tire of the views and walks nearby. Diane and Andrew are excellent hosts who are always there to welcome us and give advice on what to do and where to go. The Dairy is luxurious and very well equipped - so comfortable. On warm days its a pleasure to sit on the private patio and admire the well tended gardens.

WOW 1 - The location is simply gorgeous, peaceful, and tranquil. A perfect getaway from the hustle and bustle of our daily life. Situated next to a working Dairy Farm, there was little to no noise from the “girls”. Ample dedicated and level parking is also available.

WOW 2 - The Dairy is designed with a wheelchair in mind. Wide doors, open plan, more than adequate turning circles, a spacious wet room, lowered appliances, completely flat throughout, the list goes on and on. The Cottage in the Dales website is very accurate in its depiction. The smell of fresh bread as you walk through the door is wonderful.

WOW 3 - The quality of the fixtures and fittings are all high end. If this cottage doesn’t have it I am sure Dianne and Andrew, will make whatever you need appear as if by magic.

There is a private patio over looking a beautifully tended garden with stunning views over Bishopdale. The patio is a sun trap until late in the afternoon, and if you need more sun a short walk/push over to the sun terrace and the water feature is delightful. You even get to see Razor at work! (You will need to visit for more info)

Over the years we have stayed at many places that claim to be adapted and friendly and have always come away feeling disappointed in the facilities. There was no disappointment with The Dairy, it is simply perfect. My wife says she could find nothing to complain about…..and that is a first!

A gorgeous cottage with lots of character set in a wonderful and peaceful location in the Yorkshire Dales which has all the accessible facilities a wheelchair user could need!

So happy to have discovered this beautiful cottage. The hosts, Diane and Andrew have created a peaceful, stylish and very comfortable holiday home. The welcome was warm and friendly. Everything about this place exceeded our expectations. As someone who needs the optional accessible features on offer at the Dairy, Diane appears to have thought of everything to make a stress free environment for those of us with access/mobility requirements. Nothing is too much trouble. We had a wonderful, relaxing break, just wish it could have been longer. This was our first visit and we are already looking forward to our next stay.

We so look forward to our stay in the Dairy each year. The hosts and the cottage is beyond excellent. Holidays in a wheelchair is not always as you planned but we know that going to the Dairy is near enough perfect, home from home. The only small issue I have is the bed is a little too high for the wheelchair user if using a slide board. ( I'm paralysed from the waist down ) The bathroom is fantastic for a wheelchair user.

A home from home with extras and the beautiful dales as well.
We are getting older in our mid eighties now so really appreciate and make use of all the facilities for supportive living that The Dairy provides.
If we didn't have this property to go to we would be unable to go on holiday so we can look forward to our next stay.

When it was announced that self catering properties could open on 12th April 2021, we had no hesitation in contacting 'Cottage in the Dales' as our first choice. We were not disappointed. We were fortunate with the weather but everything about The Dairy is wonderful. Superbly fitted out with attention to detail, spotlessly clean and the warmth of the welcome is second to none. Diane and Andrew are constantly improving the property and have developed a number of seating areas in the gardens for guests to enjoy with a glass of something admiring the views of Bishopdale. The Dairy has been designed for guests with disabilities enabling everyone to enjoy the property and they certainly deserve the many awards they have achieved. The bedroom comfortable with plenty of storage space, the bathroom spacious with a state of the art automatic shower and two sinks, one wheelchair friendly and the kitchen has everything you need to rustle up a meal. You can even pre-order your grocery shopping and it is all put away for you in the fridge and appropriate cupboards ready for your arrival. Although it was not required there is a wood burning stove for those chilly nights. With Bose sound system, Smart TV and a private terrace this is 5 star luxury in beautiful tranquil surroundings where you can recharge your batteries and feel completely safe during these challenging times. We shall certainly be back

Our third stay at this beautiful, tranquil, exceptionally well equipped cottage. Everything is brilliantly designed and perfectly maintained, spotlessly clean, with everything you could possibly need for a truly luxurious stay in this wonderful part of Yorkshire. The owners, Diane and Andrew, are unrelenting in making the cottage and surrounding gardens perfect and safe for their guests needs and are always, but unobtrusively on hand, to assist you with making the most of your holiday. We love that all of the art work is available to buy, so the cottage is your own private viewing gallery. There is extensive information on the best places to visit, eat and shop.
The Dairy is suitable for guests with all ranges of mobility, and Diane and Andrew have many types of adaptions and equipment available to ensure guests can enjoy every part of the cottage and gardens.
We are looking forward to our next three holidays booked at The Dairy. A true gem.

Our third stay at The Dairy and I am running out of superlatives. Diane and Andrew really do think of everything to make the perfect holiday, whether you need extra accessibility or not. There is a reason The Dairy is booked for many months ahead, but it is worth the wait. This time we stayed in more than on previous visits due to wet weather - this made for a wonderful relaxing time, cosied up by the fire venturing out now and then to enjoy the beautiful scenery and local villages. We will definitely be back.

This was our second stay in The Dairy and it was wonderful. Diane and Andrew came out to greet us on our arrival and we really appreciated the freshly baked bread after the very long drive. Diane gave us lots of tips on places to go taking into account the weather conditions and let us know about last minute availability in nearby restaurants. The accommodation is immaculate and extremely well equipped to a very high standard and the garden is beautiful, and we were happy with all of the arrangements made with regard to Covid19. I am not at all surprised The Dairy has won so many awards, I always recommend it to family and friends, we don’t need any of the special adaptions at the moment but lovely to know they are available if we require them in the future. The Yorkshire Dales are stunningly beautiful in the autumn with so many waterfalls and rainbows, we had such a good time and we were so comfortable we didn’t want to go home. We are hoping to stay there again early next year.

It was a privilege to stay in this superb cottage. Owners Diane and Andrew have clearly spent a great deal of time, care and effort creating truly accessible holiday accommodation, and have achieved perfection. They are exceptionally welcoming hosts. We found that The Dairy was equipped in the most comprehensive way imaginable. Not only that they offer to arrange specialist items for disabled guests !
What a joy to holiday in such beautiful surroundings. Indoors tasteful furnishings, a spacious well-designed wet-room/bathroom, and an excellent kitchen. Outside a very pleasant furnished private patio area overlooking a delightful garden.
After seven months of shielding venturing forth was quite daunting. In normal times travelling with a disabled person can be challenging. However such responsible and thoughtful hosts ensured that health and safety concerns did not overshadow a wonderfully relaxing break for both of us. They have even researched accessible days out in the area, and provide a wealth of information.
An exceptional destination whatever your ability.

We've stayed several times at the Dairy, and have booked again for the next 3 years. The accommodation cannot be faulted, luxurious, wonderfully equipped and a delightful place to return to after a day exploring the Dales. And the owners, Diane & Andrew are a delight, so welcoming and determined to offer the best holiday experience and make you feel completely at home. The fact that most guests are returning ones says everything about this place, really, really top notch.

Another excellent stay at the Dairy our home from home.
This year has been a really difficult time for everyone but we were so well looked after by Diane and Andrew with all the work they had done to make us feel safe.
We had an excellent holiday and Diane's information was so helpful telling us where to visit and how to book ahead .
This is one of the best places we have ever stayed and we look forward to May 21 when we go again!
We are both in our mid eighties and have the aches and pains associated with age but everything in the Dairy caters for people with any disability in such an unobstrusive way .

Our many stays at Cottage in the Dales are always enjoyable. The views are stunning and there are several places to sit in the gardens and admire them. You can go on lovely Dales walks from the doorstep or just a short drive away.

Everything about the Dairy is 5* quality. So much thought is put into what is required to make your stay as comfortable as possible.
Diane and Andrew are ways meticulous in preparing the Cottages for visitors and especially so in the present circumstances.

We love visiting so much that we have booked several more visits.

Our second stay at this wonderful cottage, made even more special by the care and attention to detail by the owners to ensure the property was Covid secure. The location is ideal for touring the Dales, and the cottage and location is both relaxing and restorative, with every comfort inside and outside considered. The bathroom is stunning, with a gorgeous shower and deep bath, the kitchen is comprehensively equipped, and the lounge area, with its stunning fireplace and log burner, the perfect place to relax. A gorgeous private terrace is ideal for dining out, and the owners encourage guests to explore their beautiful adjoining garden with lovely places to sit and admire the views. Every fitting, fixture and item is thoughtfully sourced and of the highest quality. And spotlessly clean and maintained. The Dairy is suitable for guests of all types of mobility, and Diane and Andrew have all types of adaptions and equipment available to ensure guests can enjoy every part of the cottage. They are thoughtful and amazing hosts. We are looking forward to our next three booked holidays at The Dairy.

We booked a luxury cottage and that is exactly what we stayed in.
Diane and Andrew understand the value of customer service which sadly is not always the case these days.
All the fine details were covered and the welcoming `goodies` were a lovely touch.
Internet access was a bit of an issue but not a major concern.
The weather conditions were challenging but as we travelled up, during our stay and before our departure Diane and Andrew kept us fully informed and updated.
No doubt in the future when the sun decides to shine we will be back!

The owners have thought of absolutely everything in creating this truly beautiful and accessible holiday home. We had a wonderful holiday and can't wait to return. It is lovely to find somewhere where disability is not an issue; The Dairy has been created with enablement at the core of everything with no detail too small to be overlooked. And such welcoming and friendly hosts too. We were utterly impressed every step of the way, from making the booking onwards. The Dairy makes bold promises which it subsequently over-delivers.

From the welcome to enjoying the comfort of the cottage, quality furnishings, wood burner with unlimited logs, supply of tea and coffee and a generous welcome tray to the every changing beauty of the Yorkshire Dales a suberb location for the active or those seeking total relaxation.

Our 4th trip to the Dairy. It ticks all our boxes from access to comfort and care from Diane and Andrew.
We are now in our mid 80s and mobility more limited.
There is always a new place to explore as well as old ones to reacquaint ourselves with.. Diane helps us plan our outings with her extensive knowledge of the area and routes to take.
Whatever the season and the weather it feels like a second home at the Dairy.

The Dairy is spacious, comfortable, beautifully equipped, quiet and great for a relaxing stay. Our visit followed a period of heavy rainfall so visits to the waterfalls in Wensleydale (Hardraw Force, Askrigg Mill Gill Force and Aysgarth Falls) were repaid with spectacular effects. We hope to visit again in drier conditions and take advantage of the local walks without having to use the car.

My wife & I have stayed with Cottage in the Dales five times now, at each of their three properties, most recently in The Dairy. The cottage is simply unmatched in the quality of its the equipment, decoration, furnishings and overall finish. The kitchen wants for nothing in terms of equipment, from major electrical items through to the selection of crockery, cutlery & cooking items. The bathroom is luxurious, a huge bath and even larger shower area, and are complete with high end toiletries. The furnishings in the lounge and bedroom are beautiful, and really comfortable, especially the huge bed. Entertainment is very well catered for, a large smart TV & Bose sound bar in the lounge, a TV & Bose sound system in the bedroom. And there is, of course, WiFi. Aside from the overall quality the Dairy just feels like a place that has been totally thought through from start to finish, it’s just a place that’s a pleasure to come back to and spend time in, even on a wet Yorkshire day.

Outside is a small, private area to sit and relax, and Diane is more than happy for guests to wander around her lovely garden.

The quality of the cottage is one element of a stay here, but what makes it even more of a pleasure are Diane & Andrew. They simply could not be more welcoming, helpful and determined that their guests have the best time. And they clearly work very hard to ensure they do. A great couple who have created a wonderful trio of places to enjoy the Dales.

We have stayed in very many holiday cottages in the UK over the years, and continue to do so in other parts of the country. But the Dairy has become our benchmark by which to judge other cottages, and so far they all fall short. Unsurprisingly we have booked to return in 2020 & 2021.

The Dairy is in an idyllic location with the very friendly and helpful owners on hand if you need them. The accommodation is unique in that if you don't need it to be accessible it is 'just' a luxury holiday cottage, but then there is a wide range of equipment that can be provided with no charge if you need it. The wetroom shower is spacious and the whole cottage is beautifully appointed and extremely homely. The owners provide a wealth of tourist information, including accessible attractions.

We were so looking forward to our stay and we're thrilled with the cottage, it's accessibilities and it's location. It exceeded, by far, all our expectations! The cottage itself is in a beautiful garden which you are free to use and has sloping pathways making it easy to get to, even in a wheelchair.
Everything in the cottage is made so that, no matter what your disability, you can use it with no complications. There is an enormous wet room and bathroom...hoists and bath lift available and plenty of grab rails and an integrated shower seat. An hsl riser recliner chair (so comfy) can also be requested. Grab rails for the bed. Kitchen cupboards that can be removed to get a wheelchair or perching stool under (both of which can also be requested). Hearing loop if needed.
I'm sure I've missed some things out as there is so much available!
Diane is a lovely, friendly and welcoming host - always available if needed. There was a lovely tea/coffee tray made up for us + butter, milk and cheese in the fridge and chocolates as well!
Highly recommended and we look forward to a return visit.

We have stayed at the Dairy many times and always enjoy our visit. The owners have put a lot of thought into making the cottage as comfortable as possible and are always on hand to give advice and assistance. The location is excellent as the cottage is within a lovely garden and offers views of the Dales.

This is our second visit to the Dairy having stayed in the Byre twice before. The extremely high standards have never dropped from one visit to the next. We cannot recommend all 3 properties highly enough. The warmth of the welcome, the attention to detail and the quality of the fixtures, fittings and furniture are superb. Diane & Andrew cannot do enough to ensure your have a wonderful stay in this stunning pennine landscape of Dales, fells and rivers with wildlife galore and friendly locals. We shall certainly be returning next year

Our second stay at the Dairy and this has become our all time favourite cottage . Everything and I mean everything has been thought of for the disabled visitor ( far to many to list here ) . The proprietors have created something very special here , and the only problem is now finding a date that hasn't been taken . Sometimes its the small things and touches that make something extra special and Dian and Andrew provide those in spades ! We have already booked in for next year and hopefully be making many return visits . Well done and a massive Thank you for providing such a fantastic place in the most beautiful part of the world .

Thank you so much Linda and Arthur for your lovely review. It is always a treat to welcome you back to the Dales to 'your second home' as you now call The Dairy. We are glad your health is improving and we are looking forward to welcoming you back next year for an extra special stay for your special wedding anniversary.

This was our first holiday to The Yorkshire Dales and to The Dairy and it certainly won’t be out last. The Dairy was clean, modern, very spacious and had everything we needed for the perfect break and if we needed anything else we just had to let Dianne know, nothing was too much trouble. We have been staying at cottages for years that were advertised as being suitable for people in wheelchairs and have had some real shockers so to find this gem of a cottage is a dream.

Wowie - thank you so much Karen & Matthew for your amazing review - we really do appreciate your kind words and how you found The Dairy compared to other 'accessible' cottages. So we are delighted we can already look forward to welcoming you back to the Yorkshire Dales and The Dairy. Our best wishes to you both.

How wonderful to find a property that a) Claims to be designed to meet the needs of a wheelchair user and really is and b) delivers on the description of Luxury. The Dairy is also equipped to a very high standard (no excuse not to deliver gourmet food... it’s all there!) And what a location! Stunning views, and thanks to the incredibly comprehensive information packs (including thoughtfully one that you can take out and about with you) you are spoilt for choice in how to spend your time. Diane and Andrew Howarth are warm and welcoming hosts- I feel as though I’ve known them for years... We will be back!

Wow! Thank you so much for such a beautiful review Jo - we really do appreciate you taking the time. We are delighted the cottage met your needs in terms of both accessibility and luxury as we know you travel extensively. We thoroughly enjoyed your company during your stay and we do hope we can welcome you back again in the future to get to know you both even better! Our very best wishes to you both.

This was our second stay at Cottages in the Dales and we had another fantastic week. The Dairy has been converted to a very high standard yet it still has a homely feeling when you walk through the door.

The Dairy is a very well appointed cottage with everything you need at your fingertips.Comfortable but stylish and it was spotlessly clean too.

Nothing is too much trouble for hosts Diane & Andrew. We are very much looking forward to returning ( the only problem being is that it's done so very well it's difficult to find a free week!!)

Congratulations Diane & Andrew on a fabulous job well done!

Thank you for your lovely review Andrea. We are delighted you enjoyed staying at The Dairy as much as previously staying previously at The Byre. You pay us the best compliment once again by wanting to return. So we do hope we can welcome you back again soon at either cottage. Our best wishes to you both.

The best in accessibility, luxury and comfort.

I find it hard to describe the thrill I felt at how easy my husband, who uses a walking frame and wheelchair, could be independent and stress free during our stay at The Dairy. It is not only accessible but is beautifully luxurious and comfortable, the best we have found since my husband has had mobility issues.
Diane and Andrew, the hosts, are very friendly, and put a lot of effort into making sure their guests have a good holiday, even providing information about accessible places to visit and eat in the area.

Diane replied more than 1 year ago
Thank you so much for 2 super accessible reviews - both here and also on Euan's Guide, which we really appreciate, as it helps other guests gain a view of the cottage. It was delightful to meet you both and that you had a most enjoyable holiday exploring the various accessible places that we provided. Our pleasure is ensuring yours, for both of you. We are looking forward to welcoming you back in 2021 and possibly in 2020 if we get a summer cancellation. In the meantime, our best wishes to you both.

We are regular visitors to Cottage in the dales. The Dairy is beautifully appointed and the location is excellent.. There are plenty of lovely walks nearby. Although there are restaurants and pubs in the area, we prefer to return to the cottage after a afternoon's walking and prepare an evening meal in the fully equipped kitchen. Sitting on the patio with a glass of wine admiring the view, what could be better. There is plenty of information about the area in the cottage and the owners Andrew and Diane, who are lovely, live in the farmhouse nearby and are always happy to give advice and assistance.

Thank you Brenda & Bob for such a lovely review. Thank you also for enabling us to repeat your quote you provided to us too ...."Due to increasing antiquity there is nowhere else we feel comfortable going than the Dairy!", which is just so lovely. It is always delightful to see you and we are looking forward to welcoming you back in the autumn so you can see the Dales at its autumnal best with the changing colours, especially for your ride on the Settle-Carlisle railway line. In the meantime, our very best wishes to you both.

A real find ! A great deal of thought has gone into the design of this cottage to make it not only wheelchair accessible but wheelchair friendly ! Every thing in every room was easily accessible from a wheelchair. It’s a long list but here we go;
wardrobe with drop down rails, dressing table integrated into the wardrobes with space for wheelchair to tuck in, accessible and well lit mirror and shelves with hairdryer and socket.
Bathroom suite with basins at two heights, one to accommodate wheelchair, the other at able height. A bath for which you can request a hoist and seat,( I didn’t because I love my showers !). Remote control shower in wet room with shower chair available on request. Accessible toilet with grab rails and plenty of room to manoeuvre.
Kitchen where EVERYTHING was accessible from a wheelchair ; Belfast sinks, dishwasher, washing machine, oven, microwave, induction hods, pull out work surface which can also be used as an ironing board !! Lots of room to manoeuvre .
Plenty of comfort in the lounge with a wealth of local information including a file you can take with you to refer to accessible places to visit AND a list of every accessible toilet in the Dales. There are lots !
All this in a beautifully.furnished cottage with all the interior design finishes and details you’d find in a 5 star hotel, if of course you can access one !! Here you can, which makes it a really unique.
I highly recommend this cottage, unreservedly.

Thank you Mike and Julie for providing such a detailed reviews, especially about the accessibility as it helps so many of our guests to understand what is available, because as you quite rightly say, that at the moment luxury and accessibility in tourist properties are few and far between. We also appreciate you putting a review on Euan's Guide too for the same reason. We are so pleased you had a most enjoyable holiday It was delightful to meet you both and we do hope we can welcome you back again in the future.

We have stayed in several cottages and this is the best by far. It is really clean and very well looked after. It has everything you need and everything works. If you have any questions then the owners very quickly answer and certainly go the extra mile to make sure you have a wonderful holiday.
The communication is great throughout from booking to arrival. You get a great welcome pack so you can just turn up and have enough for breakfast the next morning. There are plenty of walks from the front door and many more just a short drive away.
I would certainly recommend everything about the property.

We have just had the best week in The Dairy. This is an exceptional cottage with every facility imaginable.
Luxury toiletries, towels and bathrobes, quality furnishings, beds and every home comfort. Nothing is too much
trouble for the owners, who were extremely friendly and lovely people. The location is also stunning.
This is our second visit to the Cottage in the Dales properties, and we have already booked to go back next
Summer.

Truly the best luxury self catering cottage we have stayed in. Superb attention to detail by the hosts and caretaker with high end fixtures, fittings and accessories. The owners have been so thoughtful in providing everything guests could possible need to enjoy their stay in this beautiful property, including a concierge service. The accessible features have been very well thought through and the owners are only too willing to supply exactly what guests may need to make their stay comfortable, relaxed and safe. The owners are also generous and incredibly helpful and thoughtful hosts. We particularly loved that the cottage incorporated art, fabrics and accessories made by local craftspeople.

We had a fabulous snowy few days at this gorgeous cosy cottage. It is open plan and has a lovely airy feel. Fabulous finish with the highest quality appliances and lovely and clean.
Great location for exploring the Dales. Owners super friendly and will provide advice of places to visit / where to eat out if needed.
I would absolutely recommend this cottage for a relaxing cosy retreat. We will return!

Thank you for your very kind words and we were so pleased you enjoyed it given the birthday celebration. We do hope we can welcome you back again as a family rather than a couple next time. In the meantime, our very best wishes to you all and belated congratulations!

Unfortunately we weren’t blessed with the weather in fact it rained since the moment we arrived we were greeted warmly by Diane and Andrew, but staying in the Dairy made up for it.
There’s nothing that you need the Dairy’s fully equipped with all the latest technology and cooking equipment.
The cottage was spotless and I think we will definitely be returning in the near future.

Thank you very much Martyn for your kind review of The Dairy. We were delighted to welcome you back to the Dales and so sorry the weather was pretty miserable for your short stay, quite the opposite to last year! But at least the '100 things to do on a rainy day in the Yorkshire Dales' came in useful! We look forward to hopefully welcoming you back again and we will endeavour to deliver a spot of good weather again! In the meantime, our very best wishes to you both.

We aimed to get away to have a break away from the hustle and bustle of a busy town and that's what we got at the Dairy. On arrival, we were met by Diane who made us most welcome and proceeded with a comprehensive tour of the accommodation. I must say the property was immaculately clean, well adapted for a wheelchair user plus its located in a fantastic part of the Yorkshire Dales. There was only one disappointment that the recommended accessible walks that were suggested in the tourist information brochures for various abilities were not really accurate as it all depends on what type of wheelchair is used for example we opted to go on a what was described as a route for "All" which for us it turned out to be impossible for the type of wheelchair that my wife uses, apart from that we had a very enjoyable stay and would definitely go back but with an all-terrain wheelchair next time.

Diane replied more than 1 year ago
Thank you so much for your very kind review of The Dairy Tim, for which we are most grateful. We are so pleased that all the accessible facilities in the cottage met with Carolyn's requirements. We really do welcome your feedback about the accessible walks - indeed we have already fed that back, as Debbie North of The Outdoor Guide is currently reviewing all the accessible walks published by the National Park to improve them further, as they vary in terms of the type of wheelchair needed and that information is not provided. We appreciate the type that Carolyn uses, with the very small front wheels, is not suitable for many walks, even when they are labelled accessible. We are endeavouring to have an all-terrain wheelchair available for our guests (and others) to use in the area in the future, so fingers crossed. We do hope we can welcome you both back again in the future.

The Dairy provides outstanding accommodation, fully equipped and furnished to a high standard.

The Dairy provides outstanding spacious, detached accommodation which is fully equipped and furnished to a high standard. We loved using the large, high spec walk-in shower after a strenuous walk! Diane is very friendly and helpful with an excellent local knowledge. During the week we enjoyed a number of spectacular rambles over the beautiful Wensleydale countryside. The cottage and the local area are well worthy of another visit.

Thank you Graham for providing such a kind review on behalf of your parents who stayed in The Dairy, whilst you and Debbie stayed at The Byre. We are delighted the two cottages across the courtyard provided the privacy for you all and that you could come together to relax and dine together. It was a pleasure to meet your parents and we do hope we can welcome them back, as well as your good selves of course. Our best wishes to you all.

A truly magnificent property in an exceptional area and warm helpful hosts on hand.

Having experienced many cottage holidays throughout the country and most being premier cottages this one has to be the premier of the premiers. Everything you could wish for and more. From the booking to the welcome to our departure all was a seamless experience. The property is of the highest quality along with the furnishings and trimmings. The information provided both before and in the cottage was abundant and appropriate. There was nothing we could fault we loved it so much we've booked to return for longer next year in order to embrace ourselves in this exquisite piece of luxury and escape life's pressures.

My wife and I chose to stay at The Dairy to celebrate our 25th Wedding Anniversary, having previously stayed at the neighbouring cottage (The Byre) to celebrate my 60th Birthday. The Dairy is laid out on one level and is furnished throughout to a very high standard and is very cosy, with an extremely well equipped kitchen. The owners gave us a lovely warm welcome and explained the Dairy’s amenities as we hadn’t stayed in that particular property before. They are always on hand to provide any help or information that is needed but are not intrusive, in any way. We will be returning for a another short break in a year or two which is the highest recommendation possible.

We were greeted by Diane who showed us around the Dairy. It is quite fantastic, perfectly clean and equipped to the highest standards with everything you need. The whole cottage is just lovely and we managed a glass of wine on the small patio with magnificent views over the dales.
The hosts Diane and Andrew were on hand for if any problems arose (they didn’t) and were friendly but not intrusive.
All in all, couldn’t fault the place.

The Dairy gives exactly as promised. From arrival to departure the cottage and surroundings were enjoyed by a ninety two year old, one legged, thirty five year insulin dependent, outside wheelchair user. Quality furnishings, spaciousness and attractive location make a return visit something to anticipate with pleasure.

This lovely little cottage is set in a beautiful area with lots to do - walking, browsing around interesting little towns and villages, the Hawes creamery, Berry's farm shop, and more walking ... We love the peace and quiet here, the privacy and especially the plentiful supply of logs for the burning - we stayed in November. The facilities are first class with a fantastically comfortable bed and absolutely everything has been thought through. It is an award winning cottage and you are not likely to forget it with certificates on nearly every wall!

We do hope we can look forward to welcoming you back, and you can be assured the 4 frames of certificates have been moved to one wall in the bedroom corner as we now have some lovely photos of the Yorkshire Dales on the walls courtesy of professional landscape photographers David Tarn and Ruth Grindrod.

This cottage was wonderful. It was extremely comfortable and beautifully presented. We could find no fault.
The owners should be very proud of this conversion. It was superb.

The planning , care and thought , which has gone into these cottages [ we were invited too view the others] , is just beyond expectations .
So much to do and see in the area, great places to eat .
You will not be disappointed.
