Orcaber Farmhouse Reviews

Very clean and comfortable. Very well equipped. Excellent bedding and towels. Excellent base for walking, waterfalls and caves. The property is in a terrace of four similar properties with the owners caravan site opposite. The first rental property that didn't have a local welcome pack or a folder with property information and emergency contact details. A great stay was had by all and wouldn't hesitate to return on a future occasion. Thank you.
Following correspondence with Gaynor she met and welcomed us even though we arrived a little early . We were shown around the property and Gaynor told us to see her if we had any needs at all . The property is very well furnished and comfortable with no expense spared We found that it stayed very warm so didn't need to leave the heat on very much , bedroom en suite showers and shared shower room were amazing. The hot tub was very welcome and had plenty of use , luckily we had great weather over our stay which made our time even more enjoyable . We can highly recommend staying here at Orcaber Farmhouse and will be booking another visit early next year hopefully . Thank you Gaynor ands Neil .
This has to be one of the best holiday homes we have ever stayed in. It was spotlessly clean, comfortable and furnished and equipped to a very high standard. There was so much to see and do in the immediate vicinity and the views from the house and garden just amazing. We were very lucky with the weather with glorious sunshine every day. We walked locally to the beck and enjoyed days out to Ingleton falls, Malham Cove, Grassinham and Clapham nature trail. We would love to stay again.
This cottage was perfect for our family holiday of 8 adults and 2 dogs to celebrate a diamond wedding anniversary and 80th birthday. The high standard of all the fixtures and fittings was appreciated and the open plan living area worked well. The location is stunning. Sunrise over the hill in the morning and sunset from the hot tub in the evening. Outside maintenance excellent. Instructions for appliances would have been welcome and a second hair drier.
My family and I had a multigenerational holiday in this stunning holiday property. One of our group is disabled, and the ground floor bedroom with its en suite was ideal. We had two dogs with us, and much appreciated the enclosed garden to let the dogs out without having to lead them up and take them for a toilet break in the early morning. The dog exercise facilities were superb there was an enclosed dog field and a running circuit they had a great time chasing the ball into the stream, and longer walks were available. The hot tub was fabulous clean, bubbly, relaxing terrific at night, with its lighting, and great during the day, after a day's walking or sight seeing. The kitchen facilities were great everything you need, and the nearby supermarket, Booths, provided food of M&S standard, for home cooking. Wi fi was great, the smart televisions had a range of streaming channels, including Netflix. The only suggestion I have for improvement is for the owner to build a swimming pool that would be the icing on the cake!
Joanne
We had an amazing stay. The cottage is really well fitted out and lots of space for the family. The hot tub was such a nice extra.
Stephen
Not one for leaving reviews but this has to be the best cottage we have stayed in over the many years in the Lake District, Yorkshire and Scotland. The cottage was amazing great beds and bedding, great facilities and so much for the kids to do in the private garden areas and the grounds. The kids loved the little river catching fish and crayfish. The hosts could not have been better very welcoming, informative with easy access and loads of parking. The surrounding area is amazing with the Yorkshire 3 peaks, legs still recovering. Great village pub in Austwick nearby called the Gamecock food was top class. Pretty town called Settle with loads of shops and food places. We will most definitely be booking this again.
Douglas
Orcaber Farmhouse is an excellent property and has been fitted out to an extremely high standard. It is large, with 4 bedrooms, again, all of which are to an extremely high standard. The underfloor heating ensures that the house always feels snug, despite it's size and regardless of the external elements. The outside Jacuzzi is very warm and relaxing, a nice touch to the external space. The owners of the property were very friendly and accommodating, providing plenty of advice on the surrounding area and amenities. It is only one mile from Austwick village, where the Game Cock public house provides extremely good food and a very warm and friendly service. It is well situated for some really stunning walks nearby, Ingleton Waterfall Trail being one of my favourites. I would highly recommend this as a place to stay
Fantastic Cottage. Furniture and fittings all high quality and exceptionally clean. Hot tub lovely to relax in after day out walking and sightseeing. Beautiful views and lovely walking country. For dog owners the dog walking area is a big field and the best of multiple ones we have used over the years. All in all a credit to the owners.
We ere a family group having taken three cars, son in law arrived first and was greeted by owner and she was very nice, my daughter arrived later with our granddaughter who has special needs, and we arrived by 10 pm. I had booked the house and thought at least the owner could have come to meet me, we did not even have a small carton of milk or anything to start us off as we could have chosen many places that at least have some sort of welcome pack, just as well we came prepared. We were told nothing about the property as to workings etc we had hot towel rails the first morning but after that they were cold, the hot tub had no switch to turn off, we did not know if it was automatic, I did not use it but my granddaughter loved it, her mum took her in one evening, the weather was horrendous but to keep her happy they went in, there was a clip to hold the lid together but it was broken and that night there was a blustery wind the cover was blown open and we did not notice as it was around the side of the property, I was going out with my dogs to be greeted by a very rude man, dont know who he was moaning about the hot tub which I had no clue about. Night before leaving my son in law politely asked if we could charge my car as the local charger did not work and he was told he had already used too much electricity etc the owner was very rude and turned his back, my son in law tried to explain that he had closed the hot tub, the gale we had that night must have blown open the top of the hot tub, why would he leave it open deliberately? He is very careful. On leaving my daughter took off her bedding and I commented that she should not take off pillow protectors she told me the bed was not made up no duvet cover or pillowcases, they had decided to give my granddaughter the bedroom with the ensuite as she has special needs but I did not know the bedroom they were in was not made up or I would have questioned the owners as they knew there were six of us. The house is lovely and well furnished and has most things you need. Beds are comfortable and towels provided are huge and lovely and soft. There could have been hooks on the bathroom doors that would be handy for dressing gown etc, no toilet roll holders and no grab rails in showers, showers were good if you wanted an overhead drench shower but handheld one should really have a swivel holder so that you could aim water without having to hold the shower head, my disabled husband had great difficulty with this, there could have been a shower seat, we brought our own. There was liquid soap in bathrooms, dishwasher tablets, washing up liquid and cloths, no coffee machine but a cafetire was provided. On reading the listing I imagined a lovely walk along the beck with a proper pathway hoping that my disabled husband could use his mobility scooter but you are tramping through a field dodging sheep poo and as we had so much rain we were just walking in mud. This is not a place for children as nothing to do not even a swing park. North Yorkshire villages and towns are beautiful but this is a place for serious hill walkers. The rude owner should be ashamed of himself as the incident with the hot tub was not deliberate as we as a family who respect other peoples property.
A beautiful, well appointed house. Beds were really comfortable and the furnishings were all good quality. Sited in a great location on the farm and easy access to surrounding sites The only thing that I found slightly disappointing was the size of the oven and number of bigger saucepans. As it is a house for 8 it was tricky to cook roast dinner for this number. Otherwise everything else was really good and we had a lovely stay
This is a wonderful cottage with excellent quality furniture and furnishings. The owners are very welcoming without being intrusive. We had a fantastic week and will certainly consider staying here again next time we visit the area.
We have just returned from a fabulous stay at orcaber farmhouse. It had everything you could need while there, very spacious and clean. We loved the open plan aspect downstairs as very sociable when away with a group. Lovely secure garden for the dogs, just to note the wall is low, about waist height, so great for smallmedium dogs or ones you know will not jump it. We had medium size dogs who were perfectly safe in there. Fab size hot tub with great views of the sunset whilst sat in it. Very comfy beds. Owners were great and came to greet us when we arrived and were on hand if we needed anything. Also very handy having the secure dog field opposite the house for the dogs to have a good run around in. We couldn't fault our stay and would definitely return. We visited Ingleborough nature trail and caves which is just down the road from the house which was a great place to take the dogs.
This was a fabulous property, spacious, wellequipped, lovely furnishings, bed linen, towels etc. The logburner and hottub were fabulous too. And finally in a fantastic location
Fabulous week spent at Orcaber Farmhouse. Everything you need ! So relaxing.
What a lovely place to stay, we had a warm welcome & enjoyed our stay. The only thing I missed were some occasional tables to put drinks on, but that is a personal choice. No toilet roll holders seemed a bit odd but also a personal choice, these are not complaints just observations, the cottage is lovely & we had a great time, good location too!
We spent an amazing Christmas here, the cottage was spotless, very comfortable and the owners couldnt do enough to answer any questions or make sure our stay was perfect. We will definitely recommend to others and return here ourselves.
This is a superb cottage in a beautiful surrounding. Ideal for my family 5 adults and 2 dogs
Nicholas
Lovely cottage, ideal for a group of couples as has 4 good sized double rooms, a large open plan living area and large hot tub with open views to hills. Owners were great, especially when one couple in our party turned up a day early, they let them stay the extra night for free!!
Daniel
Absolutely lovely property. Everything was to the highest standard. The secure dog field on site too was a great bonus. All seven of us and our dog had a great time. Would highly recommend.
Alison
Spacious, warm and comfortable house. Extremely clean and everything seemed newly fitted. Good quality beds and bedding, which was much appreciated. Enjoyed extras such as Netflix and the hot tub. Quiet location well positioned for exploring the dales and lake district.
Really lovely stay. Such a calm and relaxed feel about the place. The downstairs is a lovely sociable area with very comfortable sofas. Beds and bedding of great quality, extra little touches such as USB points in the bedrooms, lovely bedside lighting options. Kitchen very well equipped and the hot tub and garden just lovely. Great base to explore the local areas and beyond. Equally a lovely place to just relax. Owners checked in with us to make sure all was okay. Would definitely recommend a stay here.
Brilliant property with fantastic facilities. We used this house for a charity walk around the 3 Peaks. It comfortably slept 8 adults with all the facilities you could need. Will certainly use again when in the area.
Fabulous property. Owners have thought of everything to make your stay amazing.
Tracey
Lovely place for a short stay. Well equipped and beautifully clean. 3 very big sofas. Gorgeous garden that is well looked after this was wonderful to look out on through the glass doors and to sit in when the weather is dry. Perfect place for our mini holiday. Thank you.
Absolutely wonderful stay. My friends and I had a great couple nights here and we enjoyed every moment. I appreciate the owner calling me in advance to ask how I would like the beds to be set out as I believe they can separate them if families were wanting to stay. Shops are about a 10 minute drive away in case anyone is needing any essentials items. Hot tub was great and was able to fit 8 people in. I would request the owner to leave the temperature control to the people staying as we found it a bit milder than to our liking. However, this is a minor complaint and would not deter me from staying again!
