From first contact after booking online, the owners could not have been more helpful. Pele Tower uses specific cleaning products, however due to allergies the washing product was not suitable for us, Ann understood this and changed for the product we use. she also ensured all bedding and towels were washed in our preferred product before we arrived. This attention to detail and helpfulness was shown in every interaction with Ann and Andy.
Pele Tower itself impresses from first sight, we arrived early evening (in the dark) to be welcomed by Ann outside and inside a warm welcoming fire and a fantastic welcome hamper packed with lots of local treats. The tower is decorated and accessorised to an incredibly high standard. The tower is stocked with everything you could possible need, nothing is missing, again this shows the attention to detail.
Due to the excessive rain we spent a very chilled week in the tower relaxing and recharging from a very difficult year and this is just the place to do it. I also have to say this has the faster wifi I have ever had.
The rooms are all of a generous size, but remined warm and cosy throughout our stay. The tower is a real piece of history wonderfully restored and yet with so many modern touches that fit seamlessly into it.

What have you enjoyed most about staying at the Pele Tower?
Staying in a unique holiday home.

What can we do to make your stay even better next time?
Arrange for better weather, but as this is not possible I'd say change nothing, you really have got this perfect.

Lovely house showcasing the history of the building while providing all the modern comfort one can expect. We’ve all thoroughly enjoyed our week - so many local walks and lots of helpful advice from the owner who is very friendly yet discreet. A special mention for the cleanliness too, everything was spotless.

This was the first break we felt able to take in this very strange 2020. So pleased we did. What a beautiful place with wonderful scenery & some lovely local walks right from the front door. Ann & Andy have thought of absolutely everything & made us feel so welcome & comfortable. What a fantastic job they have done restoring the Pele Tower to it's former glory. Also for us the added bonus that David's 14th great grandfather built the hall & tower which we only researched after we had booked.
We would highly recommend & have, & will definitely return.

The Pele Tower is a wonderful place to stay. The restoration has been done exceptionally well and looks fantastic. Ann is an amazing host with nothing being to much trouble. Ann goes above and beyond to make your stay a fantastic experience, we had a very personalised welcome box with all dietary needs taken into account which was a lovely surprise, wonderful gluten free bread, diary free butter and milk + lots more.
The cottage has everything you would need in it and so much thought has been put into both the decor and the equipment included.
The location is in a small hamlet rather than a village/town location with shops etc but it is an excellent location for both the Yorkshire Dales and also the Lakes, giving you the best of both worlds. We hired some electric bikes which was brilliant and a relief when getting up all the hills! We were able to store them safely and charge them on site, all organised by Ann and her husband. There is so many wonderful things to see in the area and amazing walks to go on. Kirby Lonsdale was a favourite with wonderful shops and places to eat.
The only point I would make is if you are two couples staying, the master room has a beautiful bath but no overhead shower, so just take that into account when deciding who is going to stay in which room.

What have you enjoyed most about staying at the Pele Tower?
The cottage is a wonderful place to stay, with amazing and such helpful hosts that made such a difference to our stay.

What can we do to make your stay even better next time?
If it is possible to add in an overhead shower over the beautiful bath in the master bedroom, that would just complete the bedrooms.

We had a wonderful week in the Pele Tower. The property was spotless, beautifully restored and decorated with period features and artwork. Great hospitality from Ann and Andy - we arrived to a well stocked hamper of local goodies and home baked brownies. The area is beautiful, fields all around - the property is down a narrow lane but the remoteness made it all the more appealing! We explored and walked in both the Yorkshire Dales and the Lake District and felt it was a great location for seeing both. Hoping to return again soon!

We were incredibly impressed and delighted with our stay at the Pele Tower! We spent a week exploring both the Lake District and the Yorkshire Dales which are both easily accessible from the location of the cottage.

We booked this cottage based on the reviews of others and the pictures, we were not disappointed! The cottage is wonderful, the conversion of the tower is to the highest standard and everything you need (and more) was available.

We were very nervous about our travel plans given the Covid situation, however, Ann and Andy have gone to every length to make you feel incredibly safe and the process was simple to follow and re-assuring!

We really enjoyed our trip and the accommodation was the icing on the cake. We have already been recommending the property to our friends and family and are hoping to book a future stay in sping 2021.

What have you enjoyed most about staying at the Pele Tower?
The comfort of the rooms; the cosy set-up in the living room with the fireplace; the wonderful hosts.

What can we do to make your stay even better next time?
Nothing, everything was just perfect.

4 of us had an amazing stay at Pele tower. Our hosts Ann and Andrew were very welcoming and looked after us extremely well. Thank you for the generous welcome basket with all the delicious goodies. The tower is blow you away accommodation, I don’t think I stopped saying ‘I love this place’ the whole stay. It looked and felt very luxurious. A great location too, close to the lakes the coast and North Yorkshire. Also felt safe and prepared with Covid precautions. We will be staying without doubt again in this stunning, stunning property. Thank you to Ann and Andrew.

The Pele Tower is a fabulous holiday let - genuinely five stars all round; the fascinating story of its restoration and the background history of Killington are simply a wonderful bonus and the owners' welcome is so warm and generous. We have been truly spoilt! We booked several times before through Premier Cottages, through whom we've never failed to be impressed - the Pele Tower is a stand-out, though: it's an exquisite, beautifully furnished property with SO many thoughtful details and luxury touches (the quality and scope of the welcome hamper being one, the extraordinarily well equipped kitchen being another - all the bits and bobs that I usually travel with in case they're missing were redundant!). The magic of the place is extraordinary in its beck-side location (inclement weather meant we couldn't use the decking as much as we'd have liked - such a tranquil spot at sunset), and we loved watching the birds from the breakfast table. Special mention to two things: the sheer spaciousness of the place (the hallways and downstairs cloakroom for when you trundle back from a muddy walk and need to hang everything up, and the living room and double-bed bedroom especially) and the light (the careful restoration having natural light flooding through the windows and, on an evening, a range of uplights and lamps to create the perfect cosy scene). I really could go on with the plaudits. The location was of real interest as part of the 2016 extension of the Dales National Park and we would definitely return for further walks in the area. I should end with a note about the exceptional Covid-secure confidence of the place and the owners - we've been very risk-averse during the easing of lockdown, but felt complete assurance in all the measures Ann and Andrew had taken.

What have you enjoyed most about staying at the Pele Tower?
To be honest, everything!

What can we do to make your stay even better next time?
Not a thing!

We enjoyed a really relaxing week (in spite of the weather!) in Killington and really appreciated the comfort provided by the high quality finishes in this restored property. The real meaning of the often misused word 'premium'.

Covid-19 cleanliness standards were the highest we've encountered during the pandemic period - no shortcuts here!

We brought quite a lot of day to day accessories with us - quite often we find that 'fully equipped' doesn't mean that. But not here, apart from a couple of very minor things, anyone's stay for a week should be well catered for. Books, games, kitchen accessories, laundry items etc. Plus, the welcome hamper with some basics and a selection of treats sums up the attention to detail and quality of finishes.

In terms of location, for us it was perfect. Off the beaten track in a small hamlet and 20-30 minutes drive to the Lakes and the same to the Dales. Plus, some good walks around Killington itself. The hamlet is accessed by tight, narrow roads which add to the sense of adventure and remoteness - and the odd bit of reversing practice!

The weather wasn't kind to us. English Augusts aren't a guarantee of good weather, as we know, but this week was particularly autumnal - perhaps verging on wintry. We did manage to get out and about a fair bit but when we didn't, this was a really cosy bolthole and we appreciate a little bit of luxury!


What have you enjoyed most about staying at the Pele Tower?
A good night's sleep in very comfortable beds.

What can we do to make your stay even better next time?
Two minor things - a shaving point in the main en-suite and a bread knife (in the kitchen, not the en-suite). :-)

We had a wonderful week at the Pele Tower in Killington. The restoration of the Tower has been done with great thought and elegance. The space is perfect for a group of 4 with a lovely big lounge and log fire if it gets chilly. The bedrooms are well configured and comfortable and the views framed by the Tower windows are beautiful. Little touches such as having plug sockets in the right place really matter so it feels like a home from home. I have a very demanding job and the fast broadband meant I could work if I needed to and I didn't spend hours having to connect. My teenage son, who is an only child, was absolutely in heaven with the super fast broadband and a t.v. in every room where you can access Netflix and Prime. This meant that after our long walks exploring during the day, he was able to speak with his friends and watch his movies during his "me time". Everyone was happy. The kitchen is very well equipped and another example of the great thought that has gone into preparing this holiday let. We chose not to eat in restaurants on this holiday and so being able to cook was important and I can honestly say that I loved cooking in that kitchen which is open plan with the lounge so you are in the heart of the house. Ann and Andy are nearby and on hand if needed and they were just delightful hosts. The hamper that greeted us on arrival was wonderful and a really nice touch if you have been driving for 6-7 hours from London. It had some of the basics but also a few treats - very nicely done. I can't recommend Pele Tower enough if you are looking to stay in this part of the world.

What have you enjoyed most about staying at the Pele Tower?
It was the full all round experience.

Our stay at Pele Tower was wonderful. The accommodation was of a very high standard. The Pele Tower has been sensitively refurbished but kept some of the original features which are magnificent. The views of Killington are stunning. The warm and friendly welcome we received contributed to our holiday and our hope is that we will return again in the near future.

A beautiful location, a stunningly renovated property and the ability to enjoy it all in peace and luxury, made for a very happy holiday. The hosts were so kind, helpful and friendly. Their vision and perseverance has allowed the resurrection of a dilapidated tower into a home well evolved to suit the needs of the 21st Century. We will be back!

We had a fabulous week away from the home office! Arriving to find a warm (distanced) welcome, beautiful accommodation, fantastic hamper and stunning scenery. We were all set for a lovely week, a get away from it all holiday, in a fantastic self contained property that has been renovated to exacting standards. We experienced the best of 5 star facilities, furnishings and service, in an immaculately clean and cared for private property. We were spoilt for choice with outings and walks either from the doorstep, the Lakes or the Dales. A fantastic property in an excellent location. Very High recommended.
