The location is highly praised for being central, peaceful, and ideal for exploring the Yorkshire Dales. Its proximity to pubs, shops, and scenic walks contributes to its high rating.
The property is generally found to be comfortable, with specific praise for the living area and accessibility. However, several guests mentioned the beds being hard and the seating not as comfortable, which slightly lowers the score.
Facilities are well-regarded, with a fully equipped kitchen and prompt maintenance service. Criticisms include issues with the shower, TV, and a lack of a full-length mirror and freezer compartment, which suggests room for improvement.
While guests mention a welcome package with tea and biscuits, there is not enough consistent information about additional thoughtful touches or gifts to accurately score this category. It should be noted that such amenities are subject to change and not guaranteed.

Many times there was no internet connection at all. Probably because the router is on the same channel as other routers in the vicinity. This was rather annoying, since we relied on wifi to plan our hikes. The double bed was too small for us. The washing machine needed thorough cleaning. The location of the cottage in the centre of the village was excellent. Hannahâs help for some issues was prompt and much appreciated. Our overall impression was good and we had a great stay.

Very clean, it had everything we needed. We found the bed very comfortable. Loved that there were enough hangers. Itâs the small things that make the difference. My one and only snag was the shower. I am a large lady and getting in and out of the shower was difficult. So thatâs really my problem. I would very happily stay at Kingâs Studio again. Thank you.

Lovely three bed cottage with excellent kitchen and lounge area. Very comfortable and well furnished. A table lamp or two in the living room would be welcome to avoid the glare of the overhead lights. We would definitely visit again.
