  Honeybee Cottage was the perfect haven while we moved house.

  Beautifully clean and it was well stocked with everything you could need to make the stay easy and very comfortable.The welcome pack was a wonderful surprise too, great after a long journey it set you up with a nice cup of tea and snack. The home owner Vicky was really helpful and accommodating and we were really grateful for the text reminder for the refuse calendar over Christmas, it was great to see a house manual with such good instructions included too, no scratching your head wondering how anything worked. The cottage is in a great location overlooking the River Ure with a good walk in to town. Ripon itself has easy access to all routes and well covered on the shopping front. Booths supermarket is a particular treat and there are some lovely small independent shops. The Cathedral is glorious and further afield The Druids Temple was surrounded by great woodland walks and views out over the surrounding countryside. I wish we had had more time in better weather to explore further as the cottage make a great base to head out from but we’ll have to leave that for another time.

  Having read the reviews, some of which had some crital comments, we went with an open mind.

  ..well, we found 99% of these to be unfair... the cottage was lovely to look at, very clean inside and out, a very adequate fitted kitchen, a lovely large bathroom with a large shower cubicle ( although not a power shower) it still works very well. The lounge was large enough for us two & our dog. Then upstairs has a dressing room & a lovely large bedroom with an extremely comfy bed. The enclosed garden to the rear was perfect for us. Along with a parking area. Comments made regarding no where to walk your dog... rubbish, we found atleast four walks that were perfectly safe.. one of which was around 30 mins circular woodland walk... they are there if you look. We had a fantastic week's stay and was sad to have to go home..the cottage was perfect ... in an ideal location for us, at a great price. Will we be going back? Absolutely ! Thank you.

  We thought this was a well-appointed cottage very convenient to many places of interest.

  It was clean, comfortable and well equipped and we had a very pleasant stay. I was however surprised that there was no information/welcome pack. Considering that the cottage has no WiFi and rather poor network coverage I think it was particularly important to provide this. The cooker has an induction hob which I have only come across once before and they are not easy to operate if you are not familiar with them. We were actually locked out of it half way through cooking a meal and it took a while to locate a user manual. Also we managed to find a footpath over the fields to Ripley village and the nearest pub using our GPS (or you can take the permissive path via Whipley Bank Lane on the opposite side of the road), but it might have been helpful to have this sort of useful local info provided.

  7 Scarah Bank is a lovely stone terraced cottage.

  Very cosy, warm and welcoming. We shall return when possible. Had no problem with access at the rear..just have to be a little careful. The exit is also fine and you can see on coming traffic if you look a little beyond the first bend you can view the road for an adequate distance. The cottage itself was spotlessly clean. The garden safe for a dog at the back. Contents all adequate. The bathroom is downstairs and the lack of blinds or curtains in the kitchen was not a problem for us. Only point to be aware of was the next door neighbour called round to ask that the outside light at rear be turned off as it interfered with their stargazing. Same neighbour did kindly put out the bins however.

  We had glorious weather and peaceful south facing garden a plus.

  On the downside the property was on a busy road and traffic woke you up early in the morning and with bends in the road you can only safely turn left out of the property. The kitchen was well equipped. The shower was very low pressure and only an empty had wash dispenser was left just as well we brought a travel bar of soap. The internet was very poor at a downoad speed of 5 mpbs and upload of 1. Close to wonderful Fountains Abbey (best visited on two separate visits) one for Studley royal and other for Abbey and water gardens and Brimham rocks sadly no walks direct from cottage as no pavements. Harrogate always best to avoid with horrendous traffic.
