Such a beautiful location, with stunning views from every window. The decor & furnishings were exceptional. The peace, quiet and solitude were most welcome, but Settle was only a short drive away for those missing a touch of civilisation! Plenty of space for 4 adults & 2 dogs. ( the little touches for the dogs were also a lovely thought). Our blackRead more Lab, Brian, loved having a morning swim in the small lake, though Sally the collie was happy with just a paddle.The welcome pack was another thoughtful touch, and where were those brownies from, they were amazing! The communications prior to arrival, & from making the booking, were much appreciated & very helpful. We had a few minor niggles/suggestions but that would not stop us returning again, hopefully fairly soon, schedules permitting. Hide

The location is stunning, remote but close to lots of stunning walks and our new favourite supermarket in Settle! The hot tub is wonderful after a day of walking. The dog was fascinated with the wildlife outside the window. We had the best time and have already booked again for next year!

Fabulous log cabin with outstanding views. The cabin has everything and more that you need for the duration of your stay. Bottle of prosecco was a nice touch along with the milk. We loved this place very peaceful. Don't change a thing.

Having stayed in many holiday cottages over the years Owl cottage The Woods was by far the best accommodation and location that we have ever stayed in. The cottage itself was magnificent, extremely private with its own hot tub and outdoor sauna with panoramic views of The Dales the owner has thought of everything. We would highly recommend it to anRead moreyone wanting a luxury peaceful break. We will definitely be back. Hide

Beautiful and private building, not overlooked at all. Inside and outside to very high standard, very cosy and comfortable with plenty of seating indoors and out. Sauna, hot tub and out door hot shower all amazing. Plenty of walks from the door. Definitely will be returning. So much thought and care put in to make a really amazing stay.

A last minute find to discover the Forest of Bowland area, and what a find it was! Owl Cottage was perfect - in a peaceful, pretty and private location. The cottage was well appointed with everything you would need for your stay and even for our pup too! Would highly recommend, and we will be back. Thank you
