Is very comfy, but the stairs are stone and a little steep. Would benefit from a second hand rail. A lovely touch to leave milk and cheese in the fridge, also a couple of slices of tea cake. Soap, washing up liquid, toilet rolls etc. also provided. The only thing I can really fault with is a very bad dripping tap in the kitchen, also a slight drop from the shower head. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Frank C.

The school house sits in the heart of Askrig, a very short walk to the village shop and pubs. The beds are very comfortable and the whole cottage warm and cosy.

An ideal cottage for a break in the lovely village of Askrigg. We have stayed here before, some years ago, but since then it is much improved. One to recommend and we look forward to a return visit. The Askrigg Brewery beer served in the King's Arms was the one that got our vote! ##### Jonathan B.

Mar 22, 2024 #### First class cottage We spent a week at School House and have nothing but praise for the accommodation. It was spotlessly clean, warm, nicely furnished and well equipped. The location, too, is excellent with Askrigg being a super village in the heart of the Dales. It is not at all surprising that many of the comments in the guest book are by repeat visitors. ##### Babs A. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent Dec 4, 2022 #### Home from home Lovely cottage lovely area lots of walks from the door step. Feels like a home away from home. Nice that we can bring our dog he always likes it here infront of the burner. Cottage is clean and fresh you would never know dogs have been in here. We always try to come every year. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Joanne W. Feb 27, 2024 #### Comfortable Cottage This simple two up two down cottage was comfortable. It was very cold on arrival but we got the fire going and basically kept it going all weekend to maintain a cozy feel.( plenty of wood available in the cottage). The cottage was clean and we were welcomed with fruit cake and cheese. It was good value for the money . ##### Joanne W. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 6/10 Okay Mar 6, 2025 #### Avoid! Facilities not all as described or photographed. No warning stone steps on staircase were each very high so difficult if you have bad knees ! Bedrooms tiny, could only get round beds shuffling sideways. Lamps and chairs missing. Extensive thick black mould in kitchen, cooker hood rusty and held together by gaffer tape.Recycling overflowing on arrival and was not put out for collection as promised in handbook. No instructions for washer. Beware is not smart TV and you can only get a few Freeview channels. Hot water dangerous as in seconds gets hot enough to brew tea! Bathroom tap reverse plumbed so the cold side is actually hot. Very good to clean your teeth ! We stuck it out for half of booking then came home.
