Beautifully renovated barn conversion retaining lots of character to sleep four just three miles from West Burton. Plenty of parking. Lovingly and carefully looked after by the property owners. Spectacular views of Walden and out into Wensleydale. Really escape the world for a while and just breathe in the fresh country air and sounds of the country side. Easy travelling to further afield if you wish, West Burton, Leyburn, Hawes and all the little villages in between. Aysgarth Falls and Bolton Castle both nearby.

We have stayed at Hilltop Cottage several times and always enjoy the peace and quiet, the beautiful Dales countryside, the wildlife outside the door and the lovely comfortable cottage. Rob and Pat were excellent hosts as ever and we will be back again for Easter 2024, can't wait!

This is a place of peace and tranquility and a haven for wildlife and it's not far from many of the beauty spots in the Yorkshire dales Aysgarth Falls and Cauldron force to name but two. We have stayed here many times and always receive a warm welcome from Rob and Pat. The cottage is very cosy and comfortable and well equipped and has superb views too it's perfect.

The cottage was easy to find and secluded rather than isolated as it was easy to walk or drive to the village. Very comfortable and fitted out with everything you would need whether as a single person or a family. Rob and Pat happy to help when needed but otherwise left to yourself. Views fabulous as were walks right from the door if you didn't want to take the car. The heating system so good I had to switch it off most of the time. It would be a great place to stay in the winter and use the multi fuel burner - so cosy.
Would not hesitate to go back again.

Another excellent and relaxing couple of weeks in the beautiful Dales at this wonderful cottage.
Rob & Pat were gracious hosts as ever and now feel like old friends to us.
The Easter egg for our Son was a nice touch.

We will return!

We have stayed here on numerous occasions and will continue to do so in the future.
It is very comfortable and has all kitchen equipment that you could possibly require.
There are fantastic views from the cottage and it is possible to go on a variety of walks directly from here.
The owners who live next door are delightful and are happy to assist with any queries.

Very peaceful in a fairly remote location (3 miles to the nearest village), so transport is essential. The cottage is well equipped, very clean and the owners ( next door) are very friendly and helpful but not in the least bit intrusive. We have stayed in this cottage a few times now and can't wait to return.

We had a lovely midweek stay here with friends, in March. The owners were helpful, welcoming and friendly while remaining unobtrusive during the stay. The cottage was warm, cosy, very clean and offered amazing, peaceful views and lots of walks from the house. We were lucky enough to coincide with the arrival of the curlews back to the area and the sound of their call greeted us as we opened the car door.
The kitchen is very well equipped there was always plenty of hot water.
A beautiful area and a comfortable, cosy base with amazing views. I'm sure we will be returning!

A beautiful cottage set in almost splendid isolation with breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside. Cosy and comfortable base to explore the Yorkshire Dales and enjoy seeing the local wildlife Kites, Hares and Owls just to mention a few. The owners are very friendly welcoming and helpful who live next door. We have stayed here six times now so that tells you how much we love staying here.

Just returned home from our 3rd stay at this lovely cottage and have already booked again. Hilltop cottage is in a beautiful location with amazing views and total peace. The cottage is around 3 miles to the nearest village so will only suit people with transport. It is very well equipped, very clean and comfortable. The owners live next door and do not intrude but are always available in the event of a problem or for a chat. We can't wait for our next visit!

Hill Top cottage is wonderful - a home away from home. Rob & Pat are great hosts, there if you need them, but unobtrusive too. The cottage has stunning views, and is comfortable and cosy, it is equipped with everything you could need. The resident chicken came to see us each day as did the cat. The surrounding area of the Dales is beautiful, lots of fabulous walks, places of interest to visit and pretty towns & villages to explore on rainy days. Highly recommend.

Cottage had everything we needed, plenty of cooking utensils and comfortable beds. We were a party of 2 but there is plenty of room for 4. Location is great for a get away from it all holiday, but WiFi is there if you need to keep in touch. No O2 signal. Friendly welcome from the owners. This was our second visit and would definitely recommend it.

Hill Top Cottage is one of those places that exceeds expectations. It is set in such a fantastic location, this is difficult to accurately convey in images on a web page. This was our experience, so that when we drove into the gateway and turned down the curved roadway, the sudden reveal of the spectacular view prompted both of us to just say 'wow' in unison. Parking difficulties -forget it. Being overlooked - forget it. Traffic noise - forget it. Your worries and stresses of a busy work life - wave them goodbye. The owners are adjoining, however do not intrude into your holiday, and the one owner (Pat) we met was delightful, welcoming and friendly. The accommodation is purpose designed for holiday enjoyment, and it had everything we needed. We enjoyed dining in the spacious open plan kitchen/diner, and the lounge is modern with wood flooring and a log burner if needed, with full oil fired central heating (we had no need as early September week was a scorcher) installed, so it will obviously be cosy. We also enjoyed time sitting at the table out front in the sun, looking out across the huge expanse of valley in front, (wow again). Location wise; up a single track road just outside West Burton, right in central Wensleydale, with larger centres for shopping easily reached along with the many attractions of Yorkshire Dales. The visitor book reveals many repeat guests, it's easy to see why. We may very well join them.

One of the nicest properties we have stayed in. Spotlessly clean, well equipped and comfortable. The scenery is amazing and so quiet. Excellent location. Will definitely be back though I think I prefer the Dales around March time when it is quieter. Everywhere was very busy with parking an issue in some of the more popular spots. I would give the property 10/10 and would highly recommend
