What some of our visitors have said...
"A beautifully presented and quirky property in a lovely small village in the Yorkshire Dales.
It was well situated to visit many places in the vicinity,
not too far to drive to attractions. It was quiet and peaceful and very well kitted out for our needs, we were able to
cook some meals but also had a memorable meal in the Wensleydale Heifer, a real treat.
The bed was so comfortable and the bed linen amazing, it caressed the skin as you slid beneath the duvet.
Bliss! Thoroughly recommend this destination"

"We spent a wonderful Bank Holiday weekend in the Coachman’s Loft. This was the best-equipped property we’ve ever stayed in - Steve and Carol
thought of absolutely everything, from kitchen basics to entertainment. This was a delightful home-from-home, and a fantastic
base from which to explore a beautiful county. And we really appreciated the little kindnesses, including coffee and home-made
cake on arrival (delicious!) and offering to book a table at the local seafood restaurant. I highly recommend this property
and would happily return. Thank you so much for your welcome"

"Coachman’s Loft was the perfect bolthole for a great weekend in the Dales. It’s a beautiful, cosy property, in a great location and with
everything you could need for time away. There were lots of thoughtful touches that made our stay extra special.
Carol was a brilliant host and the local hints and tips provided meant I discovered some previously unseen places,
despite having been raised in Yorkshire and spending a lot of time in the Dales. Communication before check in was
fantastic and meant arriving late on a Friday night after a flat car battery was a stress free experience!
Cannot recommend this place enough."
