Absolutely Fabulous
We have stayed here twice once over Xmas and the cottage is still the same, immaculate and very homely. Hot tub is lovely too . Walking distance to pubonly a couple of minutes. Highly recommend you will love it .

Wonderful Cottage
The Granary is a beautiful cosy cottage, we’ve loved our recent stay and will be back soon.The cottage has everything you would need for a short self catering break, the hot tub being an added bonus, this was great to use after a lovely walk in nearby areas.Sally was a great help in letting us know info Id asked about.Looking forward to another stay :)))

Thankyou Paula - I'm so pleased to read that you enjoyed your stay in The Granary.Many thanks for taking the time to leave your review.Regards Sally

Short break in a beautiful cottage
We had the most relaxing stay at Poppy cottage . It had everything you could possibly want . Hot tub to die for and jacuzzi bath for a long soak . Unfortunately the weather wasn’t good our last 2 days so after we braved the rain it was so nice to come back to the cottage and make up the log fire and relax . Can’t wait to go back .

Simply Perfect
Lovely relaxing stay at The Granary and pre oust at Poppy Cottage. Perfect hot tub. Very clean and nicely decorated. They have thought of everything you’ll need.Good location.

Excellent again
Our third stay at Poppy cottage, which says it all really. Another lovely and relaxing weekend in this spotlessly clean cottage.

Thankyou Philip, we're so pleased that you had another enjoyable stay and are already looking to return in 2025.See you soon.Sally, Nick and the team

Hidden Gem
We stumbled across this place by chance and couldn't be happier and will be back again next time we stay near Skipton.I booked this for my wife's birthday and it was perfect, it's very roomy and set out to a high standard. The hot tub was an added bonus.It's only a short picturesque 35/40 minute walk into Skipton.

Response

Thankyou so much for your great review and we are so pleased to read that you enjoyed your stay in The Granary and will be back - it makes my day xxx

Wonderful stay
We stayed in Granary Cottage and thoroughly enjoyed our three days. The cottage was beautifully appointed with a lovely selection of furniture, fixtures and fittings. The living area provided a very comfortable setting in cold, wintry conditions and both bathroom and bedroom contributed to this homely setting. All of this was supported by a range of facilities, such as car parking and a well stocked array of kitchen accessories.

We're all so pleased to read that you had a very enjoyable stay in The Granary at Ivy Farm Cottages.It really means a lot to know that our guests have a great time and share their experience.Many thanks Sally and the team.

Home from home
When you go anywhere on a self catering break you look for pleasant surroundings,clean well equipped property with owners who don’t bother you in any way but are there if you need anything,with this property you get this and more,the cottages are set in a pleasant village environment with pub and store,we have been several times and will be going again,thoroughly recommended property.

Response

Thanks Mike such a lovely review - always makes me happy to receive comments like this.Sally

Amazing Accommodation
Had four nights in the Granary,What a lovely place, finished to a high standard, we have also stayed in Poppy Cottage before, which is equally as lovely, would highly recommend.

Response

We are so pleased that you enjoyed staying in the cottages and thankyou for taking the time to leave a review.

Wonderful Stay
We have had a wonderful stay in The Granary.We came to rest and reset and that's exactly what we did. Lovely place, lovely people, couldn't ask for anything else.We've already recommended to family.Thankyou for a lovely stay.

Response

I am so pleased that you have had a great stay.It is always a pleasure to know that our guests have had a great experience here at Ivy Farm Cottages and have recommended us to their family and friends.Many thanks. Sally

A perfect retreat
2 nights isn’t enough for this perfect little hideaway! Stayed for our anniversary weekend and whilst I tried really hard to recommend improvements on our feedback form we just couldn’t think of any!Attentive, helpful and discreet hosts and the cottage is beautiful, immaculate and finished to an outstanding standard, we will most definitely be back.

Response

Thankyou so much for taking the time to leave your review.Customer feedback is so important to us and we are always so pleased to know that our guests have had a great stay.Many thanks and we look forward to welcoming you again. Sally, Nick and the team

Perfect
Ivy Farm Cottages have to be the best we’ve ever stayed in.We have enjoyed both Poppy 1 and The Granary 5 times so far.The location is excellent for us, we walk every single day of our break and just don’t run out of different routes, although have re-visited favourites such as Malham Cove, the Skyline above Rylstone and Grassington - numerous routes at all locations!All within about a 15 to 35 minute drive away Skipton is in easy strolling distance too.The cottages are spotlessly clean, comfortable and so well equipped - the perfect home from home.To top it all, the hot tub!Wonderful to ease aching muscles after walking the fabulous Dales.It’s obvious that Sally & Steve lovingly care for these properties!Thank you for an excellent stay once again xx

Response

Thankyou so much for your fabulous review.We take great pride in our cottages, and that includes Nick the owner Poppy Cottage No. 1.We all work hard to ensure that our guests have a great stay and it is always lovely to receive such positive feedback.Many thanks, Sally, Steve and Nick

Very pleasant stay
Had a fabulous weekend at the granary. Just perfect for a couple. Most comfortable bed ever and Sally sorted me out with two single duvets as my husband is a duvet thief lol.Very well equipped, had everything we needed including bath robes.Exceptionally clean throughout and loved all the little touches which made it feel so homely. Will definitely be going back.Walkable into Skipton, about 35 mins. Taxi back only £8. Some great craft beer places, pubs and restaurants. Ideal for a little weekend getaway.Thank you Sally and Steve

Excellent again
The thing that makes Ivy Farm excellent is the attention to detail that Sally and Steve give to it. This was our third visit to the Granary having been to Poppy Cottage as it was known in itsB and B days several times.The property is spotless and the Granary is fitted with everything you might need. It is a home from home, not just a bedroom to sleep in but an actual apartment where you can come and go at will. If the weather is bad there are DVD s provided as well as games, books and information about the area for when the weather improvesSally and Steve have perfected the balance that you need. They live next door and are always available should you need anything, but if you want to be left in peace then they will give you space.Sally and Steve are very nice people and very friendly. We wouldn’t have made so many visits if they or the property were not the best you could find.I would not hesitate to recommend Ivy Farm to anybody.

Lovely cottage
The cottage was beautiful.The owners obviously take great pride in the cottage. It was furnish to a high standard.It had everything you would need for a quiet restful holiday.Jacuzzi was an added bonus. Enjoyed our stay very much.

Our second stay in this excellent cottage which is in a quiet location and a wonderful starting point for local walks. Being just over a mile to Skipton is great too for all your needs.A lovely clean, comfortable cottage ideal for two with a lovely outside space including hot tub plus parking right by the front door.The owner is friendly and helpful.We really enjoyed our stays at Poppy Cottage and highly recommend.No doubt we will return.

Amazing Poppy cottage
We stayed at Poppy cottage 1 for 3 nights, it was lovely. The cottage is very clean and furnishings are all to a high standard, the outside area is beautiful and the hot tub is undercover which is so beneficial if the weather is not great. We visited Skipton castle and town and had a lovely meal in Alexandras.We had two meals at the Bull in broughton and these were amazing. We will be booking again for next year, as this is the best cottage we have stayed in. Thank you to Sally and Nick.

Fantastic stay
Our 2nd time at poppy cottage. What a perfect place to relax. skipton is a lovely place to wander. Bolton Abbey And Malham Cove for walks.

Perfection
We had a lovely 3 day stay in the The GranaryCouldn't think of a better way to enjoy a totally relaxing break in superb 5* accommodation and surrounding countryside.Sally and Steve, wonderful hosts, go out of their way to meet any requests or needs you may have.One of the highlights of the stay was the hot tub,after a day of walking in the not too friendly weather (even Sally and Steve couldn't fix that for us) what better way to relax than wallowingin delicious warm water under the night sky.Couldn't think of a better place to unwind and totally relax.Would we go back - absolutely!

Response

That's just great - I am always over the moon to receive reviews like this as both me and Steve take great pleasure in making sure everything is right.Thankyou for taking the time to leave this review and hope you choose us again.Sally

Peaceful and Relaxing Cottage
We love this cottage and have stayed a few times. We are drawn back by the location, the comfort, the hot tub and attention to detail that is taken to ensure such a lovely stay.We recommend this cottage as it has so much to offer. Sally and Steve ensure that guests have a high quality stay.

Simply ideal.
Having been given the details for Poppy cottage from some very close friends, we were very certain it would be a pleasant stay, however, it still managed to exceed expectations! It is no surprise at all that it has 5 star reviews as it simply has to be seen and tried to be appreciated. I won’t go into details as everything is contained in other reviews, I simply advise that if you are wishing to visit this area of Yorkshire then you will not regret the decision to stay here.

Response

We are so pleased to read that you enjoyed your stay in Poppy No. 1 and that it also came through a recommendaton.We always strive to make each stay special and it is always great to get such good reviews. Thankyou again

Absolutely smashing
Third time to your properties and first time at this cottageEverything you could ask for in self catering. Very clean, peaceful, in a lovely setting. Will definitely return and would have no problem recommending to others.

Response

Thankyou so much Carol for taking the time to leave such a glowing review.Hope to see you again.Sally and team

Once again - Perfect!
We can’t stop returning here, Poppy No 1 is absolutely spotless with everything you need to cook your own meals or you can pop to The Swan Inn if you can’t be bothered cooking.The hot tub is fab and much needed after hiking the Dales.Perfect location for walks - you can never run out of different ones.Went toSkipton Castle this time - well worth a visit!Doesn’t matter what the weather is like here, it’s always spectacular.

Response

That's great Sue, so pleased you had a lovely stay and as returning guests its great to know that everything is as you like it.All credit must go to Jackie, our fabulous cleaner who ia meticulous with her cleaning and looking after the cottage and Nick, the new owner who is so keen to offer guests everything they need for a real home from home experience.I'm always on hand as we still live next door and we are all thrilled that guests keep wanting to return.Thanks again Sally

Excellent again
Another visit to The Granary at Poppy Cottage and excellent again. I could end the review here as that just about says it all. However for anybody who has not been before I would explain that The Granary is just like a home from home. Sally and Steve have made sure that you have whatever you need and prepare the place to a spotlessly high standard.The Granary is so good that we could quite easily have stayed for another week if we were not moving on. It is a shame that this survey only goes to five stars as I could quite easily double itWe will certainly be back.

Response

That is such a lovely review Joe and thankyou so much.It is always a pleasure to look after our guests and it makes it so rewarding to receive such glowing comments.Thankyou again and look forward to seeing you both again.Sally

Gorgeous outside space with hot tub and sitting area and if it’s chilly you can sit in the conservatory. The cottage was so clean and comfortable, we received a welcome message and phone numbers to call if we needed anything. The cottage is also in a beautiful setting with easy access to roads in which you can explore the area. I would highly recommend this cottage and would love to go back and stay again.

Thankyou for a lovely stay in your beautiful cottage! It's not often I find a holiday cottage with everything exactly as I like but can honestly say there is nothing I would have changed!

Wonderful place
We stayed here for 4 nights . Simply amazing location , maintained to an excellent standard .Very peaceful and relaxing surroundings, price was good , and everything provided for your stay .We plan to return next year .

Amazing stay couldn\'t ask for better!
My boyfriend booked the weekend away as a birthday treat for me, and what a treat it was! Poppy Cottage no1 was beautiful in every way and absolutely everything had been thought of down to the last detail we literally wanted for nothing. The hot tub was a god send especially seen as the weather wasn't great it was so relaxing just to sit in there listening to the drizzle as weird as that sounds. The weekend was made one to remember by my boyfriend proposing on the Saturday night in the cottage I couldnt think of a better place to pop the question!! We will definitely be back thank you so so much x

Response

That\'s great, congratulations to you both.Happy memories have been made xx

Absolutely brilliant
We stayed at the Granary building at Poppy Cottages, and it was pretty much flawless. Its location was nice (the quiet friendly village of Carleton, only a stone's throw from Skipton with many nice walks within short driving distance).The granary itself was beautiful, with a comfy bed, a lovely hot tub, a nice shower and a nice big tv to crash in front of after a long walk.I Would 100% recommend Poppy Cottages. I hope to return somewhere down the line.Thank you to the lovely couple who own the place for making our stay so memorable.

HOME FROM HOME
This was our first trip to Yorkshire and boy, we werent disappointed! Firstly Sally and Steve promised our some Yorkshire October sun - and they delivered!They had informed us that some of the "extras" had to be taken out of the cottage due to Covid but you would never had guessed. It contained everything that you could possibly need for your stay even down to a bag of ice cubes in the freezer, perfect to have with my York gin and tonic!)The bedding and linen was spotless and of top quality. Everything in the cottage had been finished to a very high standard. Plenty of fuel provided for the wood burner and hot tub was used daily after long walks through the moors and dales.I defy anyone to find anything wrong with this cottage.

Response

Thankyou for taking the time to leave such a wonderful review.So pleased that you enjoyed your first visit to Yorkshire, - Not surprised that you enjoyed the countryside - it is stunning. Fabulous.

Relaxing getaway
This is our third visit to the cottage and it will not be our last. The cottage is so peaceful and has everything one needs for a tranquil stay. The cottage is cleaned to a high standard and is well equipped. The hot tub is so perfect for soaking up all that peace. The whole setting is wonderful.Communication with Sally and Steve was prompt and the information they provide is always so clear. We cannot recommend the cottage enough and already thinking about our next visit.

Response

Hi Sandra - so glad you enjoyed your stay and look forward to seeing you again.Sally

Another perfect relaxing break
This is our 2nd visit to the Granary, but have had a number of visits when Poppy Cottage was a B&B.As usual, the cottage was spotless inside and out and very comfortableSally and Steve are excellent hosts, there if you need them ????.We will be back, probably next year ????

Poppy Cottage 1 is simply delightful
We have stayed here on a number of occasions,never want to leave and can't wait to return, love it.Th owners,Sally and Steve live on site and are always available, nothing is too much trouble.The cottage has its own parking place, and is in a lovely Dales village, with a shop and pubThe property is immaculate and has everything you need. One large bedroom with great views.Lovely bathroom with jacuzzi. A log burner in the lounge, and a hot tub in the lovely garden. A short drive or bus into Skipton. Simply the best self catering accommodation. Thank you.

Thankyou for your lovely comments. Always a pleasure xx

A perfect country cottage
Excellent, quiet rural location close to Skipton and a pub and general shop within walking distance that were perfect for our needs.

Fantastic stay. We have been visiting Poppy Cottage every year for the last 9 years and you don’t do that unless you have found a special place and this is special. Sally and Steve are special hosts too so we love the place and can certainly recommend.

Response

Always a pleasure, John and Pauline (Guests reviewed The Granary)

Lovely relaxing break for two!
What a wonderful break we had! Poppy Cottage No. 1 was everything we'd hoped and more!Everything had been thought of and nothing was too much trouble. The cottage was a great size for two, with the windows looking out onto the surrounding landscape. The cottage was easy to find, everything was as you'd expect and the hot tub was private and a good size.The cottage is in a perfect location to explore the local area and the walk into Skipton was pleasant and easy to do.Recommend the Sunday Lunch at the Swan Inn, Mastabs curryhouse and Calico Jack's wooden platter for 2 would definitely fill even the hungriest of people!Would 100% recommend this cottage and will be back as soon as we can!

Response

Thankyou for taking the time to leave such a thorough review.It is really helpful to future guests for them to know what is good to do and where to eat etc while staying in the area. So glad you enjoyed your stay.

From the moment we walked in, this place is superb. Lovelyquite location yet only half an hourstroll into Skipton. Kitchen has everything you need and the pots, pans etc are of very good quality. Living room is large and very comfortable. Loved walking in the huge, comfy bed, to pull the blind up and watch the cows, sheep and birds on the hill behind the cottage. Very handy location for many many villages and walks in the Dales. Woudnt hesitate to return.

Very Pleasant
Poppy Cottage 2, was a delightful cottage, which was immaculately clean, and very nicely decorated. It had all amenities you needed, and was situated in a pretty, nice and quiet environment, and yet near to Skipton and attractions around there, we would definitely recommend it, and would stay there again !!

One of the best cottages we’ve ever stayed in
This was a short break in a superb cottage with everything you need to relax and enjoy yourself. Immaculate throughout, very clean and little touches that made that extra difference. Can’t wait to go back.

Stayed in The Granary - So pleased you enjoyed your stay and it will be lovely to see you again.

Fantastic place
This is the 3rd time we've stayed here. Totally home from home. Everything you could possibly want / need for a perfect relaxing stay.Already booked our next visit.Thank you!

Love Poppy Cottages
This is the second time I’ve stayed at Poppy Cottages, Poppy Cottage No 1 the first time and now The Granary - I can’t make up my mind which one I like the best - so already booked No 1 again for next year to check!! There is so much attention to detail, everything you could need on holiday is provided, sofas and beds are so comfortable,scrupulously clean and of course the hot tub is a godsend after hiking around the most gorgeous Yorkshire Dales! The private gardens and patio areas are fabulous and of course the open countryside views from them including sheep and cows.Steve and Sally are lovely hosts very welcoming, even the chickens at the top of the garden came to say hello!We can not recommend Poppy Cottages highly enough.

Response

It absolutely makes my day to know that guests have had a lovely stay.Thankyou for your review.

Excellent!
Our second visit to Poppy Cottage.....just as good as the first time! Superbly furnished and well equipped, everything for a happy and restful week. Steve and Sally could not be more discreet or helpful hosts, always ready to answer questions or respond to requests. Great hot tub!

No2 Poppy Cottage July 2020
The cottage was immaculate, comfortable, cosy and very clean. It was a lovely touch in the master bedroom to have a kettle and teapot for a morning cuppa. The owners are very friendly and helpful.The village is quiet but has good amenities such as a well stocked shop and there is a pub where we had a delicious meal. We would certainly like to return.

Response

I am so pleased that everything was great for your stay and thankyou for taking the time to leave a review.

The Granary July 2020
This was our second stay in this beautiful accommodation. It is comfortable, well kept and very clean with hand gel always available. This time the owners have installed a hot tub and redesigned the garden so that there are two patio areas where you can catch the sun. The garden is so pretty with views of the hill behind. The owners are very friendly and helpful providing a stool for my use in the bathroom. We should definitely like to return as it is such a beautiful cottage from which to explore the North Yorkshire countryside.

I am so pleased that you all enjoyed your stay.

Had a really relaxing break at the granary, the place is spotless & so tastefully decorated, a well equipped kitchen aswellSally & Steve are such a nice people, will Defoe be back

Stunning cottage and village.
We loved our stay at Poppy Cottage 1. Everything was perfect. The hot tub was a added luxury along with the log fire. We’ve been to Skipton many times over the years but never to stay. It was lovely to eat out and have a few drinks. We had lunch at The Swan which was lovely. We hope to return in the future.

Lovely Comfortable Cottage
Booked for our daughter and son in law after we had previously enjoyed a stay. They loved the cottage and hot tub. Thoroughly enjoyed this quiet retreat, very private but a great location for touring round the dales. They loved all the little touches and wanted for nothing and the hot tub was a bonus.

Lovely and relaxing
Love this part of the country . The cottage is gorgeous and has everything you need . Will be back

5 star cottage in a perfect location
Had a lovely relaxing time the cottage and the attention to detail within are fab, walked into Skipton lovely market town, also visited the canal and completed the Castle Woods walk. The hot tub soothed are legs and feet after our long walks, we enjoyed a game of scrabble provided in the cottage something we would never find the time to do at home. Thank you both for letting us share Poppy no 1 cottage we will be back, the weather was kind to us too

Unique Gite Accommodation
The Grannary is an exceptionally good and comfortable retreat. Clean,fully equipped and tastefully furnished to a high standard in a quiet village location with nearby a foody pub and shop.You will NOT be disappointed!

Relaxing and romantic retreat
We have just had an amazing 4 nights winter break at this beautifully styled, cosy cottage. Sparkling clean with lots of thoughtful touches and extremely well equipped with everything needed for a reviving getaway. We have lots of experience with holiday rental accommodation and Poppy Cottage was definitely our number 1. Perfectly located for exploring The Yorkshire Dales and The Lakes. The fabulous hot tub was checked and maintained daily and was much appreciated after muddy,windy moorland hikes. The jacuzzi spa bath with coloured lights also great for achy legs and the wood burner was so cosy. We enjoyed Skipton Castle and a shopping trip to Boundary Mills and lunch at The Bull in Broughton. The Swan is a lovely friendly local pub with good home cooked food at reasonable prices (we ate there 3 times...it’s so handy) and the local shop has everything you need.Thank you Sally and Steve please don’t change a thing.... we were sad to leave and can’t wait to stay again.

Great stay
Poppy cottage was lovely very clean, cozy and welcoming. Within nice easy reach of Skipton and near the local pub The Swan. Would highly recommend it and would definitely use again.

Wonderful weekend just outside Skipton
We had an amazing time at this lovely, cosy cottage. The pictures on the web don't do it justice, it's so beautifully furnished and well equipped. The owners were easy to contact, but not at all intrusive. We loved it so much we didn't want to leave and we are already planning our next stay! I would not hesitate to recommend this to anyone looking for a peaceful, private getaway with the added luxury of a hot tub, absolute bliss! And only five minutes drive into Skipton too. Thank you for a lovely stay x

Perfect
The cottage was a perfect getaway, we stayed for 3 nights and loved it. It was so clean and had more than you needed provided. The hot tub was amazing. We both thoroughly enjoyed our time here, would defiantly come back.

Beautiful Cottage
We loved our stay at the cottage in early January, which was exactly like the pictures and was so clean. Lovely property in a peaceful location, close to Skipton town centre. Would love to come back and stay again soon

Brilliant.An Oasis of tranquility.
We as a family of 10 stayed in Cottages 1, 2 & the Granary between Christmas and the New Year.The facilities are second to none.Each of the cottages are equipped and presented extremely tastefully. The area has many delightful walks within easy reach.Couldn't think of a better place to wind down after the total indulgence of festive fayre and hectic socialising that comes with Christmas. The hot tub was particularly welcoming after long walks, and as you can imagine was one of the highlights of our stay by the 4 younger members of our family.Sally and Steve are superb 'hosts' and nothing is too much trouble, they will do their utmost to help if needed.We have no hesitation in recommending this excellent accommodation and are looking forward to our next visit.

Perfect way to spend our Christmas, 5 stars!
Perfect in every way! Would absolutely recommend. It was clean and presented nicely. Had everything you needed. Sally & Steve have worked very hard to make your stay as perfect as it can be and it didnt disappoint. We will definitely be returning.

Relaxing and lovely cottage
This is the second time we have stayed at the cottage and we will certainly return again. The cottage is so relaxing and comfortable with lovely little touches. There is nothing not to like, the peace, the hot tub, wood burner and overall comfort all make for a great stress free stay in the heart of tranquil village.Truly lovely with good communication from the owners.

Excellent, as always!
We have stayed at Poppy Cottage many times over the years and have always thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.....and this time was no different!!!How you keep the place looking like we are the very first people to occupy, is totally beyond me!

Wonderful as usual
This was our second stay at poppy cottages and it won't be our last. We stayed in the granary this time and it was perfect for our shorter stay of 2 nights.Always immaculate , clean and modern with everything you need. It was lovely to visit the local pub which had been renovated since last year and the welcome was as warm and friendly as ever. See you next year!

Response

So pleased that you enjoyed your stay in The Granary this time.We will be pleased to see you again next year.Thanks Sally

60 TH BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION
A very lovely stay for a special birthday and family celebration. We were a group of 7 adults and we were comfortably settled in Poppy Cottages 1 and 2. the accommodation was very comfortable and homely. We enjoyed using the hot tub and jacuzzi bath and the surrounding area is beautiful. We would love to return Thank you to Sally and Steve.

Perfect Bolthole
Immaculately clean and tastefully furnished cottage. Has everything needed for a luxury holiday. With it’s jacuzzi bath and under cover private hot tub it’s easy to feel relaxed and pampered at Number 1 Poppy Cottage.Could thoroughly recommend.

Poppy Cottage 1
Fantastic, everything you would like from a self catering cottage and more.This was our 2nd holiday at poppy cottage 1 and we are looking at dates to book again for next year. thank you

Poppy Cottage 1
We have stayed here several times and for us it is perfection. Sally and Steve are great hosts and nothing is too much trouble. The cottage is spotlessly clean and warm. It has everything you need and good parking.The hot tub and garden are lovely. Thank you for another lovely stay. We will be back!

Excellent Accommodation
This is our second stay at Poppy Cottages 2.The accommodation is well appointed, well equipped and clean.It is in an ideal location to explore south Yorkshire and Skipton is a great market town with some lovely pubs!

Stunning cottage
Everything is beautiful, clean & welcoming. The location is excellent for exploring the Dales. It is a lovely place to unwind and recharge. Great hot tub and jacuzzi bath. We have stayed twice and we will definitely return ASAP!

Excellent accommodation
We stay at Poppy Cottages several times a year which testament to the warm welcome we receive from Steve and Sally. The accommodation is of a very high standard and we look forward to our next visit.

Absolutely gorgeous
We fell in love with Poppy Cottage No 1, its beautifully decorated with so many thoughtful touches and has literally everything you need for self catering, even if you don’t want to cook there is a village pub a short stroll away.The hot tub was a god send after a full day of walking (especially after Ingleborough!). Sally and Steve were lovely hosts and couldn’t have been more helpful, we will be back!

Brilliant cottage!
We absolutely loved Poppy Cottage number 1! It was beautiful finished and furnished, the kitchen was well equipped and there was plenty of space for the two of us. The hot tub was great, and there was a lovely view out one of the bedroom windows. Carleton is a great location—nice, quiet village, but very easy access into Skipton and the whole Yorkshire Dales. We would highly recommend it to anyone!

Very nice cottage
It was very nice very comfortable

Beautiful!
A beautiful cottage.Immaculately clean and as an added bonus a great hot tub.One of the best cottages we have stayed in.We have booked and are returning next year.

Excellent as always
We have stayed at Poppy Cottage several times before, but this is our first visit since in was transformed into self catering cottages and our first time in the Granary.As my title says,,, everything was as excellent as before. I don’t think that Sally and Steve have missed anything as the Granary is everything you want and need for a great stay.The Granary is spotless and nothing has been missed in stocking it for a great holiday. Even the small things like tea bags, sugar, milk and cereals to start you off have been thought of so you can just move in and settle down to your holiday.Needless to say that we will be back.

Response

Thankyou and so glad you enjoyed your first visit to The Granary.Hope to see you again.

Excellent Stay
The cottage was absolutely immaculate, we enjoyed our stay and plan to go back to the cottage.

Another wonderful stay
We just love staying at Poppy Cottage.This visit we stayed in The Granary, it was home from home and everything we needed to hand.Both Cottages and Granary are luxurious and spotlessly clean.Sally and Steve always make us feel so welcome and are on hand to offer local knowledge and advice,We look forward to returning when time allows.

Response

Absolutely fabulous
We stayed in Poppy Cottage No.1 and my wife said to me that she could not fault the cottage, it was perfect. There simply is no better praise than that. We will return again in the future.

Poppy Cottage No 1
Amazingly perfect in every way and spotlessly clean with everything you could possibly need and more. We loved the interior decoration, garden, log burner, hot tub and the location. Truly an exceptional place to relax and unwind and we will definitely be returning. Many thanks for making our stay so enjoyable.

Highly recommended
We stayed in Poppy cottage No 1, 15-17 February and totally relaxed. The cottage has everything you need for a fantastic stay from the comfortable sitting room, cosy bedroom, fab Jacuzzi bathroom to the glorious hot tub in the garden. Sally & Steve Thank you

Gorgeousness
This was our 2nd visit to the gorgeous Poppy Cottage No 1 and once again we had a fabulous stay.The cottage is very well finished and out and equipped with everything you could need (well maybe a docking station for music). The owners are lovely and leave you to enjoy the cottage but if needed nothing is too much trouble.The hot tub is well done with robes and separate towels and is a very peaceful way to end the day!Poppy Cottage is very much becoming our favourite hideaway and we can’t wait to come again.

Response

Hi Louise - Thankyou for leaving such a great review, I am so pleased that you had another fabulous stay.We will certainly look at putting docking stations into the cottages.Hopefully, for next time, you see them in operation.Many thanks Sally

Fabulous stay at Poppy Cottages No.1
Just returned from our recent stay at Cottage No.1 which was faultless.Everything had been thought of to enable us to have a most brilliant stay. Decorated to a high standard but still cosy and comfortable.The hot tub was amazing and the Jacuzzi bath was also a lovely addition.I have to say that this was one of the best cottages we have stayed in and would not hesitate to return again.

Response

Thankyou for your lovely comments and so glad you enjoyed your stay.Sally & Steve

Excelent accommodation in a great location
We stayed on Poppy Cottage No2 for a long weekend and the well appointed accommodation helped to make it a very relaxing and enjoyable mini break.The accommodation was very well equipped and lacked nothing. Excellent location to exploring the area.We would certainly be using Poppy Cottages again when returning to the area.

Response

We are so pleased you had a lovely mini break and we hope to see you both again.Thanks for staying here.Sally

First Class
Our company enjoyed our second stay at Poppy Cottages in September 2018. Cottage 2 is well appointed, very clean and homely in the best possible way. We really appreciated all the little things that had been thought of, from a jug of milk in the fridge on arrival to the provision of a hairdryer, bottle opener and small toiletries. Small things but they make all the difference! We will definitely book again.

Response

Thankyou for your comments, we are so pleased to hear that you all had a great stay and hope to see you again next year. Sally

Lovely Self catering cottage

Response

That\\\'s great to hear.Thankyou for leaving your review.

Perfect Poppy
We had a brilliant week's stay - not only was the weather perfect, but the cottage was just superb. Everything you could want - we couldn't think of a single thing we would change. The hot tub was great, we used it every day. The village is lovely and also close to Skipton not to mention all the walks close by. Would definitely stay again - can't wait to return.

Response

We are so pleased that you enjoyed your stay in Poppy No. 1- it really makes our day to read such wonderful reviews.Thankyou for staying.Sally & Steve

The perfect cottage....
We stayed at Poppy Cottage number 1 for a week in March. It is quite simply perfect!! A beautiful cottage, well equipped and ideally located. It has a log burner which kept us lovely and warm in the snow, and an equally gorgeous hot tub to relax in at the end of the day. I can’t recommend highly enough, we simply loved it.

Response

We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay and that the cottage was everything you wanted and needed for your week away. Thankyou for choosing Poppy Cottages and we hope to see you again, kind regards Sally & Steve

Wonderful time
Had a wonderful time Thankyou both

A romantic getaway
We have just returned from a week in Poppy Cottage number 1 celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary and we couldn't have picked a better cottage to stay in. Sally and Steve have provided a beautiful, well equipped cottage in a peaceful village. They have thought of everything that you might need to make your stay perfect (even providing tea, coffee, fresh milk and breakfast cereals) so from the moment you arrive you feel at home.We will miss waking up to the fantastic views from the bedroom and relaxing in the hot tub after walking in the Yorkshire Dales.The village itself is quiet and perfectly located so you can head into Skipton for a bit of shopping or a walk along the river or if you want to venture further into the Dales.If you do choose to stay in Poppy Cottage we would recommend that you take the short stroll to The Swan Inn for a drink or for dinner, the food was great and you are made to feel welcome.We would definitely recommend and will book again if we come back to Yorkshire.

Fabulous weekend away in lovely cottage
Spent 3 nights celebrating our wedding anniversary. Poppy Cottage was very comfortable and welcoming. Great location in village close to Skipton. The hot tub was a nice extra and great for resting tired feet after days out around the area. Loads of room for 2 and all amenities for self catering. Nice touch of cereals and milk in the fridge lefts for breakfasts. Can highly recommend it to others wanting a break in this part of North Yorkshire.

A short breakin the Yorkshire Dales.
Poppy Cottage Guest House was a joy to stay at. The hosts were friendly and helpful, and the room was a delight; spacious, peaceful, comfortable and quality. Breakfasts were extremely well cooked, with a wide range of choice. The village pub served good meals too, we would love to return.

Highly recommended
Fantastic place to stay, couldn't fault it and best breakfast we've ever had!

Poppy Cottage

Lovely stay at Poppy cottage. Steve and Sally have thought of everything and the breakfasts are the best ever. This was our second stay and will certainly be back.

Excellent B&B
My friend and I stayed 2 nights- very friendly and comfortable. The breakfasts were excellent. We both would recommend it and intend to return.

Fantastic find!
Steve and Sally are fantastic hosts and looked after us very well. The B&B is a fantastic building, very homely and welcoming. Steve's breakfasts are excellent and set you up for the day ahead. We shall definitely be back.

Highly recommended
My daughter and I stayed at Poppy Cottage, what a beautiful location, cottage, weekend. The breakfasts were wonderful, I had a great nights sleep in the lovely comfy room with everything I could wish for provided. I truly felt like I had stayed with friends for the weekend. Sally and Steve are perfect hosts, there when you need them and so friendly

Poppy Cottage - great place to stay
Excellent B&B, lovely farmhouse, very good hosts and wonderful breakfast. Rooms and house all fitted to a high standard. 5 stars and will be staying again.

Perfect break in the Dales
We had an lovely weekend at the beautiful Poppy Cottage Guest House. Steve and Sally are wonderful hosts providing good information on things to do in the local area and even better breakfasts. They even kindly posted on some items we had left (thank you!). Can't recommend more highly.

So glad you enjoyed your stay here and that your jeans arrived back safely.Thankyou for taking the time to leave a review, it is always a boost to know that our guests enjoy their time here.

Simply stunning!
What a lovely cottage, immaculately clean and well appointed. Wonderful breakfasts, prepared and served by friendly hosts, really set us up for a days exploring in this stunning part of Yorkshire. When visiting the area again I can't imagine looking beyond Poppy Cottage for accommodation.

A wonderful B&B
We spent two nights at Poppy Cottage and it was one of the two best places we stayed in a 3 1/2 week holiday in the UK. Great accommodation and the owners are just the nicest people. Highly recommended !

wow!
it was way beyond our expectations- fabulous- everything just sooo lovely- the rooms ,the welcome, the beautiful garden,the history and charm of the house and the village, great food (and at the local pub) a delight. thank you

5 stars for Poppy Cottage
We thoroughly enjoyed our few days at Poppy Cottage. As a vegetarian my wife's were met with a delicious cooked breakfast each morning - I really enjoyed the home reared bacon too needs. The view from our room window was lovely and the chickens added an extra delight to our stay. Steve and Sally made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. We were shown a cosy guest sitting room and breakfast room and offered a cup of tea. Our room was lovely, with a big comfy bed, hot shower and views out to the garden. The garden was perfect to relax in at the end of the day; filled with pretty flowers and great views across the landscape. We will definitely be going back and would highly recommend Poppy Cottage if you want a relaxing stay in a beautiful location with generous hosts who clearly care about what they do.

Absolutely delightful
Perfect in every way.We were very reluctant to leave.

A warm friendly welcome awaits you.Comfortable, sparkling clean room and delicious breakfast with lots of choice.Will be visiting again I am sure.

Five Star's
It was my wife who choose Poppy Cottage for our short break, and like many when you are on the way there, it does cross you mind what the quality of the accommodation going to be .On arriving at Poppy Cottage we received a really warm welcome, we were given what we felt like was av.i.ptour of the cottage and the grounds. The room which looked out on to the rear of the cottage, was immaculately clean.. Clean bedding, and the room was bright and cheerful. We had a room with an en-suite shower room, equally as clean as the bedroom.. an a easy to operate shower.If you have forgotten your hair dryer or shower cap– don’t worry.. The rooms have had a lot of thought put in to them. Fresh towels, hair dryer, shower cap, bath robes, T.V and a wardrobe (with coat hangers) with more than enough space for all you clothes.Choice of coffee and teas and some biscuits in the room and not forgetting the kettle. There was not a fridge in the room, but you had the use of the fridge in the dining room, which we found no problem with.There is a ground floor lounge which we could use, which was ideal if you wanted to sit and chill for a whileor read. Where we were offereda hot drink of our choice and not forgetting the biscuits, which we accepted– which was more than welcoming after our long journey.From the lounge you access the rear garden and decking area – the weather was warm and this would have been a idealplace to sit and take in the sun – But unfortunately we so busy running around shopping we did not get to make use of.The dining room is lovely, as clean as the other rooms. AND THE BRECKFAST ..But seems I may have forgotten to mention that this lovely couple have chickens in the back garden .. eggs straight from the chicken to your plate.. I am not normally a Breakfast person, but I must admit, that there was a great difference inhaving such fresh eggs.Poppy Cottage is equal to a five star HOTEL .. We could not find fault during our stay .

Beautiful & Peaceful!
This is such a friendly B&B, like a home away from home.From the second we arrived (which unfortunately was 3hrs after we had advised them) they were soooo accomodating and welcoming despite our late arrival.The most comfy bed i can remember sleeping in and the prettiest views over the gardens, and on to the hills.I would deifnitely come back and stay here :)

We had a lovely 4 night stay, our room was literally perfect both in layout and quality. Lots of surprising nice touches we wasnt expecting.Great selection for breakfast which was excellent quality every morning.Both Sally and Steve couldnt be more friendly or accomodating.Thanks very much for everything

Excellent Stay

Poppy Cottage Guest Hous
Ideal location for us. Will not hesitate to use it again as both accommodation and food are first class.

Response

Thankyou so much for your lovely comments.

One word...excellent
I have reviewed Poppy Cottage on Trip Advisor and will only repeat that our stay could not have been better. Steve and Sally are great hosts seeing to all your needs but completely unobtrusive.The rooms are spotless and the breakfasts are excellent and filling. The best part however is the fact that you are living in a completely separate cottage, albeit that it is attached to Ivy Cottage where the family live,and you have a dining room, guest lounge and garden just for guests. Excellent.We cannot fault Poppy Cottage and will definitely return when next in the area.

Response

Thankyou for your review and we are so glad you enjoyed your stay here at Poppy Cottage.

Excellent B & B
We loved this B & B just outside Skiptonn , where we recently stayed for 3 nights.Our room was very comfortable and quiet and, in addition, we had the use of a little sitting room and lovely sunny decking area.We were even able to get a take-away from the local pub and use the dining area to eat.Our hosts were so friendly, extremely helpful with suggesting walks etc and served us a fantastic breakfast each morning, with so many options.The location of Poppy Cottage is great - a few minutes drive into Skipton or a 20 minute walk across fields, near to a reasonable pub and giving easy access to wonderful walking country in the Dales.We would definitely recommend it to friends and hope to return ourselves!

Response

So glad that you had a great stay. Reviews are so important to us and we always take time to listen to guests comments and we are so pleasedthat you have enjoyed your time at Poppy Cottage.

Weekend Break in Sunflower Room
A very warm welcome from Steve & Sally.Very good service - nothing was too much trouble.Tasty locally sourced breakfast and cosy room with a great view of countryside, comfy well equipped lounge and relaxing garden setting.Convenient for Skipton with a friendly village atmosphere. Recommend a stay and will return.

Never disappoints!
Another few lovely days at Poppy Cottage with Steve and Sally - wish we'd booked for a longer period!Accommodation great and we've never stayed anywhere else with such comprehensive care for guests. Thanks folks.

Absolutely top notch
10/10 for Poppy Cottage!We stayed 3 nights with our baby daughter and we're made to feel very very welcome. Steve and Sally have a superb operation,, very fine rooms, loads of small touches and limitless options of tasty food for breakfast. The village is very pretty as well with a great pub across the road for ales and dinner.You can't go wrong stopping at Poppy Cottage - we'll be back!

Just Great
This was our first visit to Poppy Cottage but it certainly will not be our last.Sally and Steve are wonderful hosts making us feel very welcome on arrival and throughout our three night stay.We had the Poppy room which is an absolute delight; Breakfast was excellent with exceptional choice and very well cooked.The whole place was just lovely, spotless and all you could ask for. We would not hesitate to recommend this Guest house.Stayed July 2014.

Just lovely
Lovely cottage, lovely room, lovely owners, lovely few days.Shame the local pub proclaiming Black Sheep beer didn't sell Black Sheep beer - Cornish beer isn't quite the same!!!

Unqualified 10/10
Attractive village location, great views, friendly people, superb breakfasts.Our 'sunflower' room was exactly as portrayed on the website with a roomy en suite, all immaculately kept.As a bonus there were also happy chickens and 2 very well fed pigs enjoying the ample grounds adjacent to the garden.Highly recommended.

June break
We spent 3 nights at Poppy Cottage finding the accommodation excellent,we stayed in the Sunflower Room which was very clean with a lovely ensuite . The room overlooked the garden where Sally and Steve kept Pigs and Hens. Breakfast was very good,lots of choice. Sally and Steve made you very welcome. The Cottage is situated in a small village a short distance to pub and newsagents. We would certainly go and stay there again 5

Our first visit
A two night stay in a most scenic part of U.K. This charming B&B is beautifully maintained and decorated.The rear garden allows access to chickens and pigs..We were made to feel most welcome by our hosts who provided a wide choice of locally sourced breakfast.It was a fantastic stay...

Birthday break
Steve and Sally are excellent hosts, the cottage is absolutely top notch. Nothing is too much trouble for them. One small gripe sleeping experience would be improved if there was a memory foam mattress.

Hi Ian - Thankyou for your review, we really appreciate your feedback.Just as a little note regarding toppers. We ordered new toppers from our bedding suppliers Out of Eden way back in Spring but unfortunately they were out of stock and we have been waiting for them to come back into stock.They have now been delivered here, so I do hope you will try us again to sample the sleep quality.So sorry you missed that.Thanks again for your honest review.Sally

Exceptional
From the first phone call to departure Sally and Steve were very helpful and friendly. Lovely room and fabulous breakfasts. A real treat.

A REAL GEM!
Beautiful location, really warm welcome, everything you could possibly need within the room - with the added bonus of access to fantastic communal spaces. Outstanding breakfast. Possibly the best B & B we've stayed in!

Happy to be back
This was our third visit to Poppy Cottage and it just gets better each time! Sally and Stev are splendid and make you so welcome.The breakfasts are a feature and in particular we spent some time resting and reading in their garden, which has matured over the two years since our first visit.Hope to be back later in the year

A haven in Craven!
What a perfect stay we had from the first moment's warm welcome, including coffee and biscuits in the sunny garden, through to the final breakfast! Everything at Poppy Cottage isso well thought out, yet without feeling contrived. Beautifully decorated throughout, immaculately clean, as well as wonderful little touches like the exquisite toiletries and miniature hot water bottles (which we didn't need in our unexpected summer weather!) Steve and Sally are delightful and we came away feeling refreshed, recharged and extremely satisfied by our excellent breakfast, as well as being well and truly looked after. Nothing was too much trouble. Thanks also to 'the girls' for the creamiest eggs! There is only one problem - we had to come home! Thank you so much! We'll definitely be returning. Marty and Clare

as good as its name
We had a lovely Spring break at Poppy Cottage. It's as good as it sounds. Steve and Sally and their boys have worked hard to make this a lovely place to stay.Definitely a place to come back to.

Lovely Weekend
With its location on the edge of the countryside, the warm welcome from Steve and Sally, a lovely room and an excellent breakfast, Poppy Cottage was the perfect base for walking in the Dales.

John & Sue
Welcome, room, food, hosts Sally and Steve and everything about Poppy Cottage are all first class. We wouldn't dream of staying anywhere else when visiting Skipton. Thankyou for a wonderful time. John and Sue

short break
An excellent choice of guest house with a great ambience. Would highly recommend it

Poppy guest house
Superb guest house, great breakfasts, friendly helpful people, the only slight downside is limited evening meal within walking distance if staying for more than one night. We highly recommend this guest house.

Simply the Best
We have stayed in many different B&Bs over the years, but Poppy Cottage is simply the best....and by a very big margin! Never mind five star...make it TEN!

Wow thanks Philip - makes it all worth while to receive comments like these xxx

Weekend Break
Stayed here instead of our normal hotels, and so glad we did! A friendly welcome, lovely well appointed room, lovely furnishings, a cosy guest lounge that makes you feel like you are in your own house! All topped off with a superb breakfast. Good location to tour the area. Thoroughly recommended!

Excellent stay at Poppy Cottage
Having recentley stayed at Poppy Cottage with my father. We had a amazing few days. Poppy Cottage is a beautiful Guest House. The Host were very friendly and welcoming. The breakfast was amazing. I have already recommended Poppy Cottage to other members of my family and friends. We will definitely be going back for another stay as we enjoyed ourselves that much.

A brill weekend
Met by Steve on arrival. Lovely warm welcome. Primrose room very cosy. Location and facilities very good. Steve and Sally prepared to go the extra mile to ensure your stay is 1st class. Breakfast fantastic, booked for next year.

Recent Visit
We really enjoyed our stay, very clean and homely.The atmosphere was welcoming and the breakfast was very nice, good quality and well presented without been over the top.I would consider returning if i need to stay in that area again

Perfect Weekend
Poppy cottage is an utter delight.Steve & Sally insisted we make ourselves completely at home & that we did. The place is beautifully designed, the breakfast is 1st class & the porridge is the best Ive ever tasted. Our 1st evening in front of the log burner set the scene for a very relaxing weekend. All success to the team at Poppy Cottage, you deserve it

Home from home
Sally and Steve always make us feel completely at home. This was our fourth stay and we have booked our fifth for next spring. A wonderful place to stay in a beautiful part of the world.

Perfect again!

Pick the Poppy
A excellent stay lovely food , Sally & Steve made us very welcome,an ideal base to tour that part of Yorkshire

Another great stay
This is the second time we have stayed at the Poppy Cottage and our stay was, once again, faultless - we are already planning our next visit which will hopefully be in early 2014. Sally and Steve run a great guest house - it has got to be in the top ten list of UK guest houses. We cannot recommend it enough!

Response

Cheers John - you deserved a well earned break especially after your time in Afghanistan, hope we helped to chill you out xxx

Wonderful eggs!
Here again but this time on my own.The welcome was as warm as ever and room immaculate.Delicious sausages from Steve and Sally's own pigs and the darkest yolked eggs I have ever eaten.Thank you both.We will be back.

Very happy
We had a great 3 nights at Poppy Cottage whilst attending an event down the road.It is very well presented, the owners cook great breakfasts, the rooms are exceptionally clean and there is a lot of useful information (leaflets etc) to hand, plus the owners are friendly and can offer good advice.Definitely one of the best B&Bs we've stayed in - would go back if we go to the Skipton area again.

Response

So glad you had a lovely time it really means alot to us.Sally & Steve

Well pleased!
We were en-route, so only booked the one night, but were well pleased to have found such a clean, comfortable, welcoming place with such good facilities to 'bed and breakfast'! Steve and Sally were charming and pointed us in the right direction towards the local pub which serves fabulous steaks - well worth a visit in its own right.Altogether, a faultless stop - and we'll stay longer next time.

Thankyou for taking the time to leave a reveiw, wevery much appreciate your comments.So glad you enjoyed your stay here.Sally & Steve

Delightful
Poppy Cottage Guest House certainly lived up to our expectations.We were really looking forward to staying here and we weren't disappointed.Our room was charming with views out over the little farm; it was spotlessly clean, and everything was provided to make us feel right at home.There was a very comfortable lounge to relax in if we needed to, and the dining room created a lovely environment in which to enjoy one of the most delicious breakfasts (cooked by Steve), that we had on our entire trip.We have no hesitation in recommending Poppy Cottage.

Response

It really makes us very happy to know that guests have enjoyed there time here. We are constantly looking for ways to improve our cottage accommodation and are always happy to receive such positive feedback.Sally & Steve

Perfect Poppies
Very friendly welcome with tea and biscuits; beautiful room with splendid shower and all the necessary additions; great view of the hens and pigs; very satisfying locally sourced breakfast with lots of choice.Poppy Cottage is in a great location with easy access to Skipton and further afield.We recommend it absolutely.

5 Star!
Thank you Steve and Sally for a very warm welcome, beautiful accommodation, and superb breakfast.Will definitely be back!Lachie loved feeding the chickens.Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Best guest house
Just returned following our third visit to Poppy Cottage. This is the best gust house we have stayed in. Accommodation is terrific-clean and private in beautiful setting. Steve and Sally are great hosts -always friendly and helpful and the food is perfect. If we were running a guest house this is what we would want it to be like.

Response

Thankyou John and Paulinefor such a lovely review.We really appreciate your comments and taking the time to leave a review.Look forward to seeing you both again.Sally

A little piece of Heaven
Superb B & B and Sally and Steve were excellent hosts. The breakfasts were plentiful and I really enjoyed their free range eggs. The accommodation was superb and very tastefully and sympathetically furnished.Steve and Sally have retained as many existing features as possible and I love their fireplace in the Sunflower Room.Little touches like providing guests with bath robes, tea and biscuit facilities in the bedrooms and a personal Easter cardhelped make our stay very special. The fridge in the dining room, available to all guests, and free details of local walks were much appreciated. Sally and Steve have photographed their building work, showing the development of Poppy Cottage into the beautiful guesthouse it is now. Can't speak too highly of both Poppy Cottage or Steve and Sally and we look forward to returning again.Thank you for having us.
