A delightful cottage in pretty village of East Witton in Wensleydale overlooking the green. The use of muted tones blended with pale oak and mature pine provides a calm atmosphere and a perfect backcloth for the many paintings by local artists of renown. Its location is ideal for exploring Wensleydale and Nidderdale AONB. Wonderful walks from the doorstep to Jervaulx, Brymor Icecream, into Coverdale, a long further over into Colsterdale. Travel to Ripon, Harrogate, Leyburn, Bedale all within easy reach.

This is the best self-catering holiday cottage we have ever stayed in. Well-equipped, warm, clean, comfortable and stylish too. The large bed was wonderfully comfortable, and after a day's walking, so lovely to rest in. The cottage had plenty of local artist's work on the walls to view, and current information leaflets about nearby places of interest to visit, maps and walking guides for use, with a range of other reading materials available.
Its location is great for walking; parking on the property is convenient, and a place to leave muddy walking boots as well. Holly Cottage is a wonderful place to stay for a relaxing holiday. We plan to return next year.

We have stayed at Holly Tree Cottage 12 times in the last 6 years and we have enjoyed every holiday. The Cottage is ideal for a couple, always spotlessly clean and with everything one could need for a relaxing and peaceful stay. Hosts Allan and Donna are on hand for any problems (not that we've had any) but they leave you to get on with your holiday. No doubt we will be heading there again in the not too distant future.

This was our second stay at this cottage and it didn’t disappoint. The cottage is extremely clean, tidy and comfortable. The bed and other furnishings are very comfortable. It’s in a very peaceful location but not far to travel to town with all the necessary essentials. There are some lovely walks straight from the cottage which is a real bonus for us. Will not hesitate to return again.

I needed somewhere for a week of peace and quiet to finish some work; Holly Tree Cottage fitted the bill perfectly. Warm, comfortable and welcoming. Had a super week working in the afternoon and evenings and walking the lowland Dales in the mornings. Will come again just for pleasure another time.

This was a return visit to Holly Tree Cottage. The owners have thought of everything, from the welcome goodies to a folder packed with information about the local area and lots more.

The cottage was spotless, comfortable and beautifully decorated. We will return again for sure.

We had a pleasant and helpful welcome from the host, and a good view of the extensive village green and Witton Fell from the cottage. A lovely area, with lots of walks by rivers, and interesting old castles and a monastery to visit within a few miles.
No private garden, but weather not warm enough to sit out when we stayed there anyway. May well go back some time.

We were delighted with the quality of everything in this beautiful cottage. Facilities, furnishings and decoration were of a very high standard throughout. It was spotlessly clean and had a well equipped kitchen. The cottage is in a beautiful location with many lovely walks directly from the door. We certainly intend staying at Holly Tree cottage again.

It's unique position gives easy access to most areas of the Yorkshire dales, there are also several walks right from the door. The cottage itself is fully equipped with the usual cooker, microwave & fridge along with all the utensils and crockery needed. It is spotlessly clean, a cozy suite & carpets on the floor. There is a shower room adjacent to the large bedroom which has a queen size bed and plenty of cupboards/wardrobe. Add to all this a super WiFi and large smart TV and you've got the perfect home from home,,,,

I was delighted with my stay at Holly Cottage. I really like the living area upstairs arrangement which provided nice views of the village and hills to the south. The layout of the kitchen was good and everything I needed for cooking etc was provided. Spacious bedroom with comfortable bed and plenty of cupboard space. Shower room good and constant hot water.
A better property than many others I've stayed in, Country Hideaways always have good cottages.

We have enjoyed holidays in many places in Wensleydale over the years and have always been more than pleased with the comfort, setting and decoration of the cottages in which we have stayed. After our week at Holly Tree Cottage, however, the bar has been raised to new levels! Alan and Donna's cottage is superb, providing a level of comfort that is outstanding. The photos on the web-site do not truly reflect how roomy the cottage is - a large lounge and spacious bedroom give plenty of space to spread out. The decoration and layout is very pleasing - right down to the beautiful curlew in the stairwell! As for the setting - East Witton is a delight! Each day we walked up and down the village and round the quiet lanes, chatting with friendly residents. We had promised a break here to ourselves for some time but had never got round to it until now. You can be sure that our names will be added to the ever-growing number of people who return to Holly Tree Cottage on a regular basis!

The reason for giving a three for location is that we were here the week end they were gathering all the harvest and there was constant traffic which was extremely noisy, Fortunately or unfortunately we had a glorious sunny week so had to keep the windows open which didn’t help with the noise!



Nadine at Country Hideaways. replied more than 1 year ago
Thank you for leaving your review and really so sorry about the farm traffic, they'll have been 'making hay whilst the sun shone', doesn't last long just very unfortunate for you at the time. Do hope this experience won't deter you from visiting this glorious part of the world in the future though.
