The cottage itself was clean and pleasant apart from the beds, The inside stairs, whilst quaint did pose issues for those with mobility issues, where stairs wouldnt normally be a problem these were challenging so 1 person ended up staying in the kitchen most of the time,

Rooks Cottage is set in an ideal place for walking in the Dales. It is a really quirky cottage with lots to offer. Some of the soft furnishings were rather tired and the overall presentation could be improved.

Perfectly situated in quaint, vibrant Askrigg, we enjoyed Rooks cottage as our base in the Yorkshire Dales. Dined at all three pubs in town, as well as Tan Hill Inn for a hearty lunch. The laundry machine was vexing, but we managed. Dont wait till the last minute to use it. All in all a comfortable space for us three young seniors.

Very well-equipped cottage with lots of utensils, books and videos to keep you amused when it rains. A great cafe just around the corner with cakes, snacks and frozen meals. 3 pubs too, with the one at the top of the village being particularly friendly with great beer and a good selection of genuinely homemade meals at good prices.

Lovely quirky cottage, very quiet location (especially overnight, although faint hourly church clock can be heard if you listen hard!), well equipped and walks within walking distance (!).

Rooks cottage is a charming house to stay in and a good base to explore the wonderful Yorkshire countryside. Nice to be able to walk to the 3 pubs and also beautiful walks on the doorstep. The outside roof terrace was a lovely area to sit outside.
