We are struggling to find anything negative to say. The cottage was warm and welcoming when we arrived after a stressful couple of weeks. It was equipped with everything we needed and really anything we would want. The weather was a bonus - we enjoyed drinking coffees in the garden in late October!

This was our third stay at Urlay Nook after a break of a few years and having stayed at over 40 different holiday cottages in the UK I can honestly say this cottage is the cleanest and best equipped out of all of them with absolutely everything you could wish for. The cottage is ideally situated with 3 pubs serving food within the village and numerous walks straight from the cottage or within a short drive . I would recommend booking early to avoid disappointment.

Our fifth year in this lovely comfortable well equipped cottage in an ideal location in the village of Askrigg. Everything you would need in the cottage with a delightful kitchen and such a spacious cottage. Excellent meals at the Kings Arms and Middle House and a well stocked village shop. The Bakewell coffee shop is a delight with a fabulous choice of cakes and food. Plenty of walks from the cottage and no need to drive far. Beautifully kept garden to relax in after your day out.

We have just returned from a wonderful break in Askrigg.
Urlay Nook is a fantastic,immaculate cottage with plenty of space, tastefully decorated throughout with everything we could have wished for. The welcome pack was the best we have had - full of essentials and goodies!
The garden is pretty with two seating areas and we found it a relaxing place to sit and enjoy the views.
The location is spot on with plenty of walks from the cottage itself. We also enjoyed coffees and lunch in the local deli and meals in The Middle House; all were delicious.
We will definitely be returning.
Thank you Ken and Sue

The decor, amenities, comfortable beds and thoughtful provision of everything you would need to stay here make this a wonderful place to stay and enjoy the beautiful Dales. The well kept garden next to a gentle stream makes a lovely place to sit out in the sunshine.
We will definitely be returning to this cottage

We enjoyed another stay at Urlay Nook which is always excellent. Everything is perfect in the cottage. The location is great especially looking out over the field and seeing the sheep grazing. Close to the restaurants, pubs and shops etc.
We have booked for next year and are really looking forward to being back at Urlay Nook.

Our second visit was every bit as memorable as the first. This a comfortable, well equipped property which provides an excellent base for walking and sight-seeing in upper Wensleydale and also Swaledale and Nidderdale. The owners have created a welcoming “home from home” and clearly take a lot of trouble to ensure their guests have an enjoyable holiday. Already planning to return, hopefully in 2024.

We spent the whole week on walks from the cottage, there are so many and the scenery is spectacular. Had some lovely meals at the Kings Arms and White Rose Hotel and it is a delight to have a village shop and coffee shop in the village. We will definitely be returning next year.

Urlay Nook is an exceptionally clean, comfortable and well equipped cottage. It is full of character, tastefully furnished and well situated. We enjoyed sitting in the garden enjoying the view as we had our morning coffee or a glass of wine.
We have visited this area many times and it was lovely to have such a cosy cottage to return to after a day out enjoying Yorkshire.
Askrigg is a very popular place with visitors and parking can be difficult so the private parking space was a real bonus.
We must congratulate Ken and Sue on their excellent App which we found very clear and easy to use and full of useful information.
We had a great holiday and hope to be back again in the not too distant future.
Thank you Ken and Sue

A large beautiful cottage, tastefully & comfortably furnished, very handy for all amenities in the village and excellent walks from the door. Possibly a bit high tech for me, but that's my failing! Only slight quibble is I didn't find the mattress in the twin room very comfortable. Perhaps time for a new one or a mattress topper? Apart from that I would highly recommend Urlay Nook.

Visiting Urlay Nook is just like coming home- wonderful. Just one suggestion i would make and it would be to fit an extractor fan over
the oven which when cooking emits steam which goes up the wall. It would also save on decorations. We had great New Year
and it is the best cottage we have stayed in, including several in the Lake Distict.

Lovely walks available directly from the cottage! Great location for exploring the beautiful Yorkshire Dales. We have stayed at Urlay Nook every year since 2009 and have booked again for next year, which says it all. One of the best!

Stayed many times in Askrigg and Bainbridge but not for a few years. First time at Urlay Nook and will almost certainly return. Askrigg is my favourite village in the Dales with great pubs and now enhanced by a top class coffee shop/tea room. Urlay Nook is ideally situated and I would recommend to anybody. The only reason we would look elsewhere would be for a third bedroom. For character, comfort and location Orlay Nook cannot be beaten and the small patio garden overlooking the brook is a real gem. Superbly managed, every aspect was spot on.

This cottage was the best we've ever stayed in. The kitchen was well equipped and had everything you would have at home so cooking a meal from scratch was easy to do. It's location was perfect with a beautiful outlook at the back of the cottage and easy access to many walks. The village of Askrigg has a village shop, lovely cafe and three pubs to eat at and supermarket deliveries are made to the cottage.
Although the cottage is on the main road through Askrigg it was very quiet when we stayed in September.

Lovely cottage in a great village with a couple of shops for the essentials and three pubs. Urlay Nook is a very spacious property with a great south facing garden. We had a really enjoyable walking holiday using Urlay Nook as our base. The cottage provided all the things we needed for a great holiday break.
My only reservation was the bed, which for me was overly firm but others may find that fine. Be aware if you are booking Urlay Nook it has typical cottage stairs which are quite steep and narrow so may not be great if you have mobility problems.
All in all a great cottage in a great location.

Great communication and a very informative App with walks from the door and a lovely garden to enjoy the sunshine whilst watching the local wildlife, what’s not to love . The welcome basket was a lovely touch . Askrigg is full of friendly people eager to share what their area has to offer. Thank you Ken & Sue for a wonderful stay we will return.

I love the decor and fittings such as the dresser in the kitchen and the window cushions and the moving horse in the window on the landing.
A couple of minor points, you may need new batteries for the clock on the landing, and for both bathroom mirrors. Otger than that, the house and garden were beautuful.

We enjoyed a relaxing spring break in this delightful village in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales. Shops and pubs were within a short walk of our property and many places of natural beauty a short walk or drive away. The cottage itself was the best we have discovered so far and cleanliness and comfort could not be faulted. The garden provided us with a sunny haven in which to enjoy an 'al fresco' breakfast every morning of our stay and the stream running nearby was the icing on the cake.

This cottage is a home from home, unable to think of anything not provided, although it was early March we managed to sit in the lovely garden to enjoy watching the lambs in the field, we left the car all week, taking the little white bus when we wanted to explore along the dale and undertaking local walks from the doorstep. the information pack sent by the owners was one of the best we have come across for detail and advice (and we stay in a lot of self catering cottages) the village benefits from the pub and hotels the bakery does home made meals to reheat and the local shop is well stocked. Would most definitely return and hope to do so.

Just returned home after spending an amazing week at Urlay Nook. A beautiful cottage, set by a small beck, with a lovely garden and views of the beautiful countryside from all the windows. The cottage itself is spacious and has been furnished beautifully giving it a lovely warm and cosy feel and is equipped with everything you could possibly need for your holiday in Askrigg. Fabulous welcome pack which was very much appreciated. We had a wonderful week and can’t wait to return.

This was our second time at Urlay Nook and we were very pleased to return. Everything was very clean and comfortable. The welcome pack was great to get with everything required.
Close to all amenities and lots of walks to go on. We had very good weather which was an added bonus and have booked up for next year which we are looking forward to.
Have stayed at several of Ken's cottages in the past and always very happy with everything as well as the personal touch which makes a huge difference.

Lovely cottage with beautiful garden and little beck babbling the other side of the garden. Really, really clean and very well equipped in kitchen and with great WiFi and sky. We really enjoyed the proximity to local pubs and walks from the door. Lovely area of the Dales. You do need to be aware it is on the main road through the village and that traffic does seem to go a bit fast!

A comfortable, well equipped place. You can tell that a lot of thought and effort has gone into creating and maintaining the property. The location is perfect for exploring the heart of Wensleydale. Swaledale is also only a short drive away. Highly recommended.

We had another wonderful week in this delightful cottage. So homely and comfortable with everything you need. Lovely garden and views into the fields. It is an ideal location for so many lovely walks from the door. Situated in the delightful village of Askrigg with plenty of places to eat and a very welcoming place.

The cottage is very roomy, spotlessly clean and idealy loacated for bus, pubs, places to eat and best of all there are loads of
walks of any length and difficulty. The owner Ken could not be more helpful and lives local should there be a problem, I should mention that we have not had one after three visitations.
The kitchen is is the best equipped we have ever come across at cottages we have stayed at all over the UK.!
I am going to dread pressing the YES button below because it will make it more difficult for me to get a booking.

Urlay Nook is the first holiday cottage we have ever returned to, and we would not hesitate to keep coming back. It has such a homely feel, and yet has plenty of room (for the 3 of us). The alterations made due to Covid helped make us feel secure, as did the instructions on what to do with bedding, towels etc. on departure - clear and concise but also showing the lengths the owners were happy to go to in preparing the cottage for the next visitors.
The welcome pack was full of local goodies and the information pack extremely...informative! However, for us, the cherry on the cake was the enclosed booklet on local walks around Askrigg and the neighbouring villages. Planning where to walk the next day was quick and easy, driving was kept to a minimum and the descriptions of the walks were easy to follow and, for the most part, accurate.
The weather played its part too in what turned out to be another memorable week - we are already planning our next visit! Thank you.

From the moment we booked this cottage we received 5 star service.
Communication prior to arrival was excellent, with lots of useful information to help us plan our stay. Ulray Nook was the perfect cottage for an escape from it all summer break. The cottage was well equipped, very generous in size, comfortable and spotlessly clean. The welcome box with lots of Yorkshire treats was certainly welcomed after a long journey.
The location of the cottage was great - a small, friendly village with a lovely tea room, small shop and 3 pubs. Superb walks across the Dales from the doorstep, the booklet of suggested walks was well used!
Ulray Nook was definitely a lucky find - a gem in the Dales.

We loved everything about our stay in Urlay Nook. It’s a beautiful cottage, a real home from home. It’s spacious, well equipped and spotlessly clean, with plenty of reassuring Covid safe measures in place. It’s in a lovely spot in a lovely village and in an ideal location for exploring The Dales. The owners were really helpful and welcoming and the generous welcome pack was a real treat. We will have no hesitation in returning at some point and recommending this cottage to others

We were lucky to find this luxury cottage back in 2008. We have been back twice a year since then, it truly is a home from home in the heart of Yorkshire Dales. The cottage is cosy and warm and beautifully decorated and furnished. It has a lovely garden and field of sheep beyond. David & Pam West

My wife and I stayed in Urlay Nook in April. The house was in all ways even better than expected.
The cleaning was immaculate and the house contains everything anyone could want.The level of comfort was outstanding.
The position of the house was perfect with beautiful views over the hills . The garden was a suntrap and very well provided with tables and chairs to enjoy the excellent weather we had.
We also received an excellent welcome pack. Far better than we have had anywhere else
The owner was very efficient and helpful when we sought advice
All in all the best place we have ever stayed and we will definitely return.
In summing up; Brilliant

We very much enjoyed our stay at Ulay Nook. A good place to stay to explore the Dales. The cottage was very well appointed and had everything we needed plus when we arrived there was a welcome box which was great. The arrangements that had been made due to Covid 19 to ensure the safety of hosts and guests we could not fault. Ken and Sue have done a great job.

We had a wonderful week here - and even though the weather was mixed, we managed to get some decent activities in on every day. This is a great base for exploring the area and there is some great walking to be had.
The property was very clean and very well appointed, even though we had been told that some items had been removed owing to Covid-19 precautions. There was nothing that we wanted that wasn't there. We felt that every effort had been made for us to feel as safe as possible - and there was even a full refund policy in case of cancellation owing to Covid-19. Our welcome pack had been personalised for us, which was a nice touch - and just confirmed the general approach to keeping us shielded from any unnecessary potential contact with the virus.
We particularly liked the leaflet detailing a number of local walks - quite a few of which we managed. The route up to the falls in Askrigg (go past the church) is very pleasant and not too far. We also saw Aysgarth falls the day after a fair bit of rain and they were most impressive! From there is a nice circular route to Castle Bolton which we took. We also enjoyed a couple of different walks around Semer Water. The Roman Road from Bainbridge is well defined and easy enough to follow too.
The meal we had in the King's Arms was perfectly good without being exceptional. Some of the staff were struggling to adjust to the restrictions in place. I expect they'll get that sorted in time.
We loved sitting in the garden, listening to the stream gurgling past us as we enjoyed our pre-dinner snacks and drinks on most days of the week. A nice little sun trap looking out over the fields. Wonderful!

Just wanted to say a personal thanks to Ken and Sue for our week in Urlay Nook Askrigg. We really appreciate the hard work you have both put in to make it "Covid Safe" and the personal support throughout the booking period during lockdown. The luxury of the property was second to none and the local goodies were a real treat. Having a garden to enjoy this time that was just outside the backdoor was lovely, we really enjoyed eating our delicious Ramsay's Fish and Chips in the garden.

This was our fourth visit to Urlay Nook Cottage and it is just as beautiful as the very first time we stayed there. Everything is top quality and I could never imagine anyone having a single reason to complain about anything at all. We rate it 5 star luxury and would give it 10 stars if that were possible. Beautiful cottage in a beautiful village.
