Customer Reviews

Feedback is important to us. Every holidaymaker who visits one of our cottages is invited to leave their views regarding our service as well as the standard of accommodation.

You will find recognition of our service below and testimonials for the cottages on their individual cottage pages.

If you’re planning to visit Yorkshire, I would recommend Country Hideaways for self-catering accommodation. Very good selection of cottages in some excellent areas. And very easy to book, with excellent and personal service.


Terry B - June 2025

Another amazing holiday with Country Hideaways at Masham in Yorkshire. This time we stayed at Badger's Holt, a really lovely cottage so well equipped and comfortable. We will be back again. Country hideaways have never let us down their service is second to none. I wouldn’t use anyone else when visiting the Dales. Thank you


Paula Billinge - May 2025

Brilliant, friendly, local company. Use them every time we visit the Dales because they know every property and can advise on suitability.


Ian Kerr - May 2025

Hill Top Cottage is lovely, cosy, quiet and well cared for and offers fantastic views over Walden. Friendly and helpful owners. Country Hideaways offers very good and friendly service.


Elisabeth de Lange - May 2025

Country Hideaways give a quick, efficient and friendly service that makes booking a property very easy.


Paul R - May 2025

Always a joy to return to Masham and Forge Cottage. Country Hideaways are a small but excellent agency providing holiday cottages in the Yorkshire Dales. I would always choose Country Hideaways when looking to stay in the Dales.


Robin Handley - May 2025

This beautiful restored barn conversion (Mistle House) has been done to a high standard. It is well equipped and very comfortable. It is surrounded by beautiful countryside .
This is the fifth cottage of Country Hideaways we have stayed in and we are always delighted with our stay.


Anne Humphrey - April 2025

Another great cottage holiday through Country Hideaways. We have used them many times, and always a great experience. This time, Cobblestone Cottage in Ripon was superb. We love Ripon and the location was perfect. The communication with owner was great, and we were kindly provided with a very nice welcome pack of goodies, probably the best we've ever received! The cottage is very well equipped, and the kitchen probably has more useful items than our own, it was excellent. The owner obviously has a flair for hospitality, and even had fresh flowers in every room (in November). Thanks again Country Hideaways and Katherine at Cobblestone Cottage.


Russell Martin - November 2024

We have been taking holidays through Country Hideaways for many years now and have always found the customer service from Joanne and Nadine to be excellent - they're always very helpful and answer any queries promptly. We'd thoroughly recommend Hill Top Cottage in Walden for views that are second to none with a warm welcome from the owners. Thank you, Country Hideaways, for another excellent holiday.


Wendy James - September 2024

We have used Country Hideaways for some years now and they are just amazing, we absolutely love West Burton ❤️ all the cottages we have stayed in with Country Hideaways have been amazing 😍 we can't recommend enough 😊 Thank you 🙏


Maria Eyre - August 2024

A wise man said that when travelling a person is "at the mercy of the kindness of strangers". Our recent stay at Holly Tree Cottage proved to be full of such evidence. From the kindness of our hosts Allan and Donna, to our welcome at the village coffee morning - from the the lady who invited us to look round her garden even to the weather which was far kinder than forecast. Country Hideaways continues to provide us with the best holiday service in some of the most wonderful properties in this incredible part of Yorkshire. Nadine and Joanne have not just become our favourite holiday brokers - we now look upon them as good friends. You can always rely on them!


David Shipley - July 2024

We have spent many wonderful holidays in West Burton and have always booked the cottages through Country Hideaways. The cottages have never failed to meet expectations, the booking process has been quick and efficient and the staff (real people) have been as kind and friendly as you could wish. I would thoroughly recommend the agency to anyone wanting to stay in the Wensleydale region.


Lynne Plowman - July 2024

I can't recommend Briar Cottage (Middleham) highly enough 5th time I have stayed there. Cottage has all facilities you need pet friendly close to all amenities and Joanne and Nadine are always helpful in the booking process all in all great value for money and I look forward to staying there next year.


Robert Scott - June 2024

One of many visits over the years to our favourite cottage (Green Bank) and village (West Burton). 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. Our family had some lovely walks in the area and we had some lovely visits to local tearooms. Back in November. Cottage has everything one could want and is the perfect home from home. Country Hideaways always provide a friendly, helpful and efficient service.


Nigel Tanner - May 2024

Country Hideaways may not be the biggest cottage holiday broking company but they are certainly the best! Anyone wanting to holiday in the Yorkshire Dales area would be hard pushed to find better service, more friendly people with whom to deal, or a finer catalogue of cottages from which to choose. Having been their customers for many years and using their services several times each year, we have always been delighted with both their warmth and efficiency. Look no further for the best company to make your Dales holiday a perfect one!


David Shipley - May 2024

Always a joy to return to Masham and Forge Cottage. Country Hideaways are a small but excellent agency providing holiday cottages in the Yorkshire Dales. I would always choose Country Hideaways when looking to stay in the Dales.


Robin Handley - April 2024

Had excellent stay at Hazeley Cottage, West Burton. The property was very comfortable and clean, and the kitchen was modern and well equipped. We arrived in February in a snowstorm and had some personal mobility problems, but Joanne and Nadine were extremely helpful in arranging for our needs, so would highly recommend this agency for that reason alone.


Leonard Dolphin - March 2024

My fifth stay at this delightful little cottage (Lion Cottage), spotlessly clean and equipped with everything needed. Very efficient booking system and telephone assistance from Country Hideaways.


Janet Ivin - October 2023

Country Hideaways offer a select group of cottages in the Dales, Forge Cottage in Masham is a favourite of mine and i have stayed there many times. Their agency is very easy to book with online and they have a very modest agency charge far more reasonable than the bigger agencies. I give them 5 stars !


Robin Handley - December 2023

We cannot speak highly enough of both Country Hideaways and Bridge View.  The two ladies who run Country Hideaways are both very efficient and very pleasant to deal with.  Bridge View, located in West Burton, probably the prettiest village in Wensleydale, is one of the best apartments one could wish to stay in.  It is comfortable, very well equipped and with two lovely owners who live in the adjacent property.  It would be hard to find a nicer apartment anywhere in the entire Dales.  There is a nice local pub in the village which serves good quality and value for money food and a local butcher.  All in all a super place to holiday.
