Nov 08	Our second holiday this year at this most excellent of cottages. The Craven Heiffer has continued to improve and our meals there have been excellent. The Wheatsheaf is now much improved since being taken over and once again has provided us all with good fare. Inglesport Cafe deserves praise, once again, although this time under new ownership. Catering for 9 hungry mountain bikers proved no problem for them and & food was wonderful. Pearson's Butchers can also provide all your pies & pastries in addition to some find meats. Booths supermarket just up the A65 in Kirkby Lonsdale is good for provisions. Looking forward to our next visit to Acorn Cottage.
Nov 08	Super cottage in great location. Waterfalls Walk is spectacular and dinner in the Marton Arms delicious. Peppe's take-away pizza just right after walking on the fells.
Oct 08	Wonderful cottage. Very well presented with all that we needed. Our 15month old daughter very much enjoyed exploring. We all had a very enjoyable stay despite a week's worth of rain. Lake Windermere is well worth a visit and there is a great aquarium at Newby Bridge. Also Bowness-on-Windermere is a lovely place to walk round plus there is the World of Beatrix Potter which is a must for those with younger children.
Oct 08	An excellent cottage, spotlessly clean and with everything we needed. Children enjoyed their stay especially the play area in the village. Hopefully we will return before too long. Had a good meal at the Craven Heiffer and Sunday lunch at the Wheatsheaf (was OK).
Sept 08	Lovely cottage & village, cottage had everything we needed & was very clean & tidy.Will be back again & will tell family & friends.
Sept 08	Had a good relaxing family weekend - seen the Ingleton Waterfalls and the showcase cave at Ingleborough. Not too sure about the Mason's Arms. Would love to come again.
Aug 08	Very nice stay, comfortable cottage, good location. Couldn't find a shower mat anywhere, a bit slippy for having a shower. Response from Jenny - have supplied one now.
Aug 08	Thank you for a wonderful holiday. Lots of lovely walks, interesting village, friendly community & the best steak pie I have ever had at the Mason's Arms, highly recommended.
Aug 08	Thanks for all the little extras - so nice to have everything provided for on arrival - we have had a great week despite the weather. Ingleton is a lovely community - recommend the fruit & veg from the local market on Friday - delicious.
Aug 08	Great house & location, went up Ingleborough on Friday, twas great walk.
Aug 08	Lovely cosy comfy home from home cottage, will definitely come again. Cottage is well equipped and beds very comfy - even our children slept in!! Information folder very handy. Recommend Hawes for day out with children. Loved the playground. Unfortunately too cold to try outdoor pool but Kendal has very good clean, indoor pool.
Jul 08	Cottage had everything we needed & was very comfortable. Great walking area - any walk from Wainwright's book in the cottage was excellent - we did walks from Ingleton, Malham & Horton-in-Ribblesdale. Recommend Booths @ Kirkby Lonsdale for bottled ales & food and Pearsons in the village for pies & meat.
Jul 08	A great cottage and a wonderful holiday, the children don't want to go home. Thanks for the walking tips.
Jul 08	Many thanks to you both for making us feel so welcome. We really enjoyed our stay and T. was thrilled with the pottery course.
Jul 08	A great cottage, especially for children - everything you could ever need. We will certainly be back again.
Jul 08	A delightful, comfortable and well-appointed cottage. An excellent base for exploring the Lake District and the Yorkshire Dales. The village caters for pretty well all daily needs. We ate out locally only at the Craven Heifer but twice and found the meals tasty and inexpensive and the service friendly. We would love to stay at Acorn Cottage again. We shall certainly recommend Acorn Cottage to friends.
Jun 08	What a wonderful holiday. From the very start we have felt very welcome. The house was fantastic, very well equipped and immaculate. I have been coming to the Yorkshire Dales all my life and have found it to be a wonderful experience to share it with my husband and children.
Jun 08	Fantastic holiday. Every day the kids asked if we could come back and stay again. Thanks for the gingerbread, the perfect welcome.
Jun 08	Beautifully located & equipped cottage. Excellent base for exploring the area, be it walking or sightseeing. Enjoyed great weather & many of the local walks. Eating out? Well, give the Marton Arms a miss until they sort themselves out! We found the Old Hill Inn expensive but very good & atmospheric. The Craven Heifer food was really excellent value for money. Hope to return.
May 08	We've had a wonderful stay, the "added extras" have made the stay perfect, from the milk and cake on arrival, the toys and books that kept us sane to the kids' safety items that kept our daughter secure and safe. The cottage is perfectly located for exploring the Dales and the Lakes. We couldn't have asked for more. We even had sunshine all week.
May 08	A real home from home. Beautifully appointed cottage packed with everything you could think of. Perfect location for touring. In the words of Arnie - "we'll be back!" Thank you
May 08	Had wonderful days here.. and how do you manage the weather? We came with rain, & left with rain but 4 days here sunshine & happiness
Apr 08	Many thanks for a beautiful cottage & lovely week here, enjoyed it very much
Apr 08	Thank you very much for a lovely time. The cottage was extremely well presented, very clean and a credit to you. Your instruction booklet was very concise and informative, everything covered, thank you. The surrounding area and scenery is superb, we will definitely be back. PS thank you for the welcome pack - gorgeous gingercake.
Apr 08	Thank you very much for a lovely stay. Very clean cottage, comfy beds. Very handy for the village too. We had a great time learning to throw pots at Bentham Pottery with Lee. We loved the Old Hill Inn, Chapel-le-Date. Very, very good food - more good quality restaurant food than pub grub.
Mar 08	What a lovely cottage - cosy, attractive and v. comfortable. Lots of nice finishing touches & thoughtful attention to detail. A really peaceful haven and a great base. I'm sure we will be booking again, in fact we are already planning our next visit. There's loads to do and its a great place for small children.
Mar 08	Cottage more than comfortable and well equipped for all our needs. Splendid base for a good holiday. Definitely will return and recommend it to family & friends. Can recommend Craven Heifer. Ingleborough Cave worth a visit even with small children.Fab fish & chips, Curlew Crafts do great scones. Excellent holiday! Many thanks.
Mar 08	Thank you for the warm welcome. We have thoroughly enjoyed our stay at your cottage. The weather has been variable (including snow) but we have managed walks from Ingleton, Chapel-le-Dale, Clapham and Settle. The village playground is very good and the playing field has been handy for several activities.
Mar 08	Lovely cottage, so peaceful and cosy. Will certainly be back again. Will recommend you to our friends and family. Thank you.
Mar 08	A very welcoming and comfortable stay in your lovely cottage. Enjoyed its home comforts in the rain and found the local area good for exploring. Thank you.
Mar 08	The holiday cottage is brilliant! and Ingleton is fantastic. Ingleborough was covered with snow so it looked beautiful. You made the cottage so comfortable. A. aged 9
Mar 08	Thank you for the great comfortable cottage. We have enjoyed lots of walks around the area. Easter Sunday was fun because there was snow everywhere. The football pitch came in handy. S. aged 11
Mar 08	Lovely place, better than even hoped for! Lots of care taken to make sure anyone staying is comfortable & feels at home. Thank you for the care & attention taken to make the break so wonderful. Will recommend it.
Feb 08	Good, friendly emails made us feel welcome even before we arrived & it lived up to expectations. Thoughtful 'welcome pack' very much appreciated. Perfect location for the village and surrounding area - tucked away from traffic, but within easy reach of routes to the venues where we performed in the North West. Food at the Mason's Arms was excellent, the village chip shop was good, and we even had the 'Bellybuster' breakfast at the Inglesport Cafe. Thanks Jenny & Lee, we'll certainly recommend you.
Feb 08	A lovely place to stay, very clean and everything we needed. Thanks to Lee for the whistlestop tour of Ingleton when we arrived. We enjoyed the Waterfall Walk and Ingleborough!! We are probably going to come back again some time and we'll be recommending Acorn Cottage to friends.
Feb 08	A wonderful 1/2 term week. Perfect location, delightful cottage. Couldn't have bid for better on Ebay. Thank you.
Feb 08	We have had many short breaks here in Ingleton and we are pleased to say that Acorn Cottage rates as one of the best. As many have said, "Thank you for the cake and milk upon our arrival", much appreciated. We have wanted for nothing in this delightfully furnished cottage save perhaps for a pint glass in order to savour the excellent local beers available from Booths supermarkets. Once again we have found Pepe's Italian restaurant to be very good along with The Craven Heifer and both Masons Arms and Marton Arms. The previously excellent Wheatsheaf no longer serves the great variety of ales it was known for. Pearson's Butchers sell some of the best meats we know of, try them out. Inglenook fish & Chip Shop in the village is very good indeed. Response from Jenny - Have now purchased 8 beer glasses.
Jan 08	We have enjoyed our stay very much and congratulate you on providing a comfortable, practical and relaxing environment for your guests. Ours was a family visit so we did not have time to explore very much of the area - so we will need to come back again! Thanks so much.
Jan 08	A really nice well-equipped cottage with great attention to detail. Would recommend it to friends. Thank you for the welcome pack.
Jan 08	Thank you for allowing us to stay in your lovely cottage. The 'welcome pack' of cake & milk was very much appreciated. The village of Ingleton is very well located for access to all attractions in the area. The service from the local shops has been excellent - everything we needed. (Suggestion, egg cups & a cruet set would be useful.) Response from Jenny - good idea, I'll get some.
Jan 08	A beautiful well equipped cottage. We thank you for the milk & the lovely cake you kindly left us. It is a proper home from home. We will certainly recommend to family & friends. Hope to come again one day.
Dec 07	A really nice family cottage. Thank you for all the bits & pieces, we have had a lovely stay. Lots to do and we have found the information leaflets really useful. The Fenwick Arms is a bit of a drive but worth it and New Year's eve was spent at the Old Hill Inn where the food was excellent. We will definitely come again in the future.
Dec 07	Wonderful, clean, welcoming cottage. A real credit to you. Will highly recommend to family & friends. Great location & friendly village. Thanks for the milk in the fridge, most welcome. Hope to return next year. Mason's Arms is a great place to dine - a very friendly reception. Dickens Festival in the village was lovely & seeing snow over the weekend made it even more magical. Thanks for a great weekend.
Dec 07	Attend to detail & cleanliness unparalleled in our experience. By a long margin the most pleasant holiday we've had. The Craven Heifer extends a very warm welcome and most satisfactory food.
Nov 07	Lovely cottage, great location. Would like to return in the summer to fully appreciate the surrounding countryside.
Nov 07	Had a lovely weekend, must come again, cottage has all home comforts, great walking, lots to see, we found the Craven Heifer to be the best pub.

Oct 07	We really enjoyed our 1 st holiday with our new baby daughter. A lovely cottage - a real home from home. Couldn't have had better weather too. Lots of lovely sunshine to explore the Dales and Lakes with. Thank you for all the emails Jenny - the personal touch is appreciated.
Sept 07	Thank you for a wonderful weekend. The comfort of the cottage was just what we needed after a long & fun day caving. Dave from ' Yorkshire Dales Guides' was fantastic. White Scar Caves is well worth a visit but would recommend driving there as walking was a bit tough. Ravenous (restaurant) was lovely but we did spend a small fortune. Hoping to visit Bentham tomorrow to see Lee's beautiful pottery. Thank you.
Sept 07	Fabulous cottage - so clean & well equipped. We have had a brilliant week and will certainly be making a return visit. The Dales are so beautiful & relaxing. Thank you Jenny & Lee for your kindness & hospitality.
Sept 07	We have had a wonderful time in this beautiful part of Yorkshire & hope to return soon.
Aug 07	Ingleton & the cottage were just what we were looking for in our holiday. Thank you so much. Your website was very informative and, true to your word, the places detailed were ideal for our 3 yr old.
Aug 07	Fabulous week, lovely cottage. Waterfalls Walk is a must. A very nice evening at Settle and went to a restaurant called Ravenous. Swimming pool at Ingleton is very nice but need warm weather. The local Co-op is only walking distance away.
Aug 07	A lovely comfortable cottage - very well-equipped & we appreciated the comfy beds. The playing field at the back is really useful for letting off steam & the kids loved Ingleton Playground. Wish we could stay longer - we will definitely come again.
May 07	One of the best holiday cottages in the Yorkshire Dales - Highly recommended. Thank you!
May 07	First class holiday. A very child friendly cottage. Our kids loved the swimming pool and the wonderful playground. Will certainly book again.
