As an extended family group of 8, we had a wonderful 3 night stay at Green Bank. This beautiful property was spacious, but still felt cosy and homely, and was so well equipped to meet all our needs. The location is unbeatable, with the impressive cauldron waterfall and public footpaths leading to the surrounding hills on the doorstep. The kids thoroughly enjoyed playing football on the village green. Lynda kindly called us during our first evening to ensure everything met our expectations, and the welcome goodies were very much appreciated. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Green Bank to anyone wishing to explore the Yorkshire Dales!

Plenty of space for 5 adults and 2 dogs, with all of the amenities we needed. Lovely location in a peaceful and scenic village, very handy for local walks and plenty of village pubs or a short drive for local tourist attractions and towns. An appreciated welcome pack with some tasty treats to enjoy during our stay and a check in call from the owners to make sure everything was okay.
Excellent value for money, would definitely recommend Green Bank to anyone looking for a peaceful and enjoyable stay in the Yorkshire Dales.

We really loved our stay at Green Bank. We were drawn to this cottage by the location and the previous reviews, and it did not disappoint. Possibly the cleanest house I have ever stayed in, they clearly have a great team that look after the place. We really enjoyed the homely comforts and the attention to detail, including the welcome basket.
Green Bank provides a great base to explore the Yorkshire Dales National Park and Nidderdale, with some great walks from the front door. We were lucky enough to experience the Kettlewell Scarecrow Festival during our stay. The amazing local ice cream helped us onwards on our way up to Great Whernside. We can strongly recommend the Wheatsheaf Inn at Carperby, a friendly welcome with well kept beer and great local food. Book ahead to avoid disappointment. Less impressed with the local pub, which was a shame, but perhaps for the best given the proximity to the house . We also managed a trip to the Fountaine Inn at Linton for their Wednesday night fish and chips special (£9.95 and delightful) - you've got to love that pub and its surroundings, idyllic. Oh, and at least one or two trips to the delightful breweries in Masham is a must, where the younger members of our family enjoyed playing pool, whilst the older members enjoyed sampling the beer.
The cottage itself provides some great living space, ideal for family meals, games and movie nights. Really loved the space and practicality of the kitchen/dining area as well as the choice of living rooms. The beds were super comfy, the towels and bedding luxurious and everything just worked. We wouldn't hesitate in recommending this place to stay, so what are you waiting for, the adventure starts here...

Not the first time..and not the last! The village is beautiful. The dales around are scenic and peaceful.
Green Bank house is extremely well furnished and well kept in every way. Faultless.
Will return with friends whenever we can. Thanks to the owners, who ring in to check all is well.

Green Bank is a lovely place to stay. The house is gorgeous, it's location is absolutely stunning and the attention to detail is exceptional. The quality of the towels and bedding is what you would find in a good hotel, the house is spotless and all the extras such as dishwasher tablets and laundry tablets are provided. We stayed originally in May 2016 and it was amazing to return 8 years later and find that everything was as we remembered - including the generous welcome pack.

One of many visits over the years to our favourite cottage and village. Great weather for 5 days. Family from Teesside came for the day on Saturday for the barbecue. Others drove up for the day on Sunday to enjoy the village. Had some lovely walks and visits to local tearooms. Back in November. Cottage has everything one could want and is the perfect home from home.

We have been staying at Green Bank since 2014 usually with our family but this time with friends who were all delighted with what the house had to offer. It is spacious and spotless with every conceivable thing you could possibly need. There is a most generous supply of firewood and coal and masses of kitchen equipment. We love this house and appreciate the services of the owners and Nadine and Joanne.

Green Bank is more than a home from home. Its top quality in every way. It is pristine in all areas and top quality everything. Linda and David called several times just to see that we had settled in okay and everything was to our satisfaction. It is their own holiday home and there is nothing you could want for. Its all here! They justly deserve the Gold Tourist Award displayed on the wall. Honestly its the best weve ever stayed in. And the location, 3 minutes walk from Cauldron Falls is fantastic. Thank you Linda and David.

We enjoyed the space and comfort of the house very much. It was lovely to be able to set up games in the garden or to sit in the front watching the grandchildren play on the green.
The two lounges offered space for family chat or a retreat for quiet play of jigsaws and board games (or a football cup final!).
We had a busy week with 3 grandchildren then a quiet week with friends calling in.
Everything worked very well, including the bbq.
We couldn't be happier and will definitely be back.

Had some lovely walks, visited local tearooms and regularly played croquet on the lawn (croquet set supplied). Excellent barbecue weather. Very nice owners who check that everything is ok.
Cant wait for our next visit.

We've stayed at Green Bank many times over the years and are never disappointed. A large well-equipped and very well-maintained family home with everything you need for a comfortable holiday in the Dales whatever the weather. West Burton is a beautiful village with a small but well-stocked shop/cafe, butchers and pub. The house is situated just across from the village green with swings and football nets for younger visitors to enjoy. So many wonderful walks straight from the door and lots of lovely places to visit within easy driving distance. Already planning our return!

A brilliant house in which to spend time with family. We love West Burton and have been to Green Bank before and it didn't disappoint on our return. The owners made us feel welcome, both when we spoke before the trip and by our checking in with us after our arrival. The house was really clean and well equipped and was ideal for the three generations of us visiting. Lots of lovely walks, scenery and pubs round about - We will be back!

This is the best house we have stayed in over the last 15yrs of coming to West Burton! The cleanliness, facilities, equipment in the kitchen and the overall quality of the fixtures and fittings combined with beautifully porportioned rooms really make this stand out from the rest! No wonder its impossible to book.
The owner's were very considerate about checking everything was fine for us (which it was) and clearly want people to have a great holiday.
We shall try and find a week where is it not booked up to return!

We have been coming to Green Bank since 2014 and have celebrated many family occasions here. The house is immaculate with fantastic attention to detail. There is a most generous supply of toiletries and cleaning products, light bulbs etc. . Nothing has been left to chance. We are greeted with gifts on the table: wine and cake/biscuits and I cannot fail to be impressed by the selection of books, jigsaws and games. This is our most favourite place for a holiday.
