Wray Green Reviews

Wray Green is a gem nestled in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales. We had wonderful walks directly from the front door, enjoyed eating outside in the sheltered courtyard overlooking lambs and played many games from the cupboard that kept the kids occupied for hours, together with the brilliant books. The history and love that have filled the cottage are palpable!
Fantastic location if enjoy open fells Lovely Old character stone farmhouse ideal for hikes into Hill straight out the door take lots of blankets if visiting in winter and any extra out door all weather Gear like coats and boots.
Gareth
Very lovely stay at Wray green, this is the third time we have been. The cottage is in a lovely spot with amazing scenic views, weather was mainly good but a little up and down. We look forward to returning next year.
We had a wonderful week at Wray Green we expected a very basic cottage, and yet it was comfortable and well equipped. The first few chilly evenings were combatted by a lovely fire in the woodburner, and the final few evenings of heatwave we were able to eat outside and sit out long into the evening watching the light change across the hills. Nights were dark, silent and blissful we can't wait to go back. PLUS strong recommendation for the King's Head in Ravenstonedale for a meal out!
When we needed a quiet week away from hustle and bustle, we came across Wray Green, and we were so glad we did! It was a great week up in the dales where we enjoyed lovely landscapes right on the doorstep and further afield. The sheep and lambs in the surrounding fields were delightful, and even said hello through the windows! The cottage had everything we needed, was warm and comfortable. The fact that there were no TV channels was a welcome break! The cottage has a lot of history and plenty of charm.
Doninique
If you like peacefulness, quietness, comfort and beautiful sceneries from every windows Wray green is the place for you to stay in the beautiful Yorkshire dale . Thank you for a wonderful stay and cant wait to come back again.
Stuart
Our second time here which is not like us at all. As like the first time the stay was perfect. On a hill with good weather surrounded by a beautiful part of the country. I hate to say it but a third visit could be on the cards!
Our second visit to Wray Green . If you are looking for a modern all singing and dancing holiday cottage this place is not for you but if you appreciate the beauty of a traditional farmhouse in an amazing setting you will love it . Second visit in glorious weather and it was a perfect week . Cant wait for our next stay here later in the year . Staying here is good for the soul .
We have been visiting wraygreen for over 20 years and it never fails to delight. It is a step back in time and so many other things . It is Unique, quirky, tranquil surrounded by the magnificent rolling fells , the views are simply from every window. It is ideal for those wishing to get away from the stress of modern living , connect with nature and a simpler way of being .
Stunning location, beautiful views from the farmhouse which is incredibly well fitted out regarding kitchen equipment. Loved the wood burners very effective. Useful information in the folder, worth a read through when you arrive as it has lots of local hints and tips re places to eat etc Very grateful you take dogs and porch perfect for their cage. We found an excellent dog park just the other side of Kirkby Stephen called Wellfield and its well worth a visit to let your dogs off lead for 50 minutes. Discovered you can walk to the waterfall that you can see from the little wooden gate. All in all heaven on earth. Thank you ladies for such a clean, tidy and totally wonderful place to stay. Hope to return.
Weve stayed at Wray Green regularly for about 40 years. We love it!
Wonderful unspoilt traditional farmhouse retaining its old world ambience and charm, oozing with character. We loved the fact that the owners have not succumbed to ripping out the soul of the place and modernising it to death like so many other holiday properties. However, all the facilities you are likely to need are amply provided. Great family sized kitchen, lovely comfy lounge and the beds are also very comfy. The location is superb, lots of places to easily get to and the views from the very private property are stunning.
Charlie
Always have a lovely time at Wray Green. We have been about 6 times and want to keep coming.
Jacquie
Wray Green is in the perfect place to stay, so peaceful. This was out 3rd stay and will not be the last. Great communication from the hosts, clean and very well equipped.
Gareth
If you want a quiet, peaceful stay for a break away, Wray Green is the place to go. The views are breathtaking although the photos don't do them justice. The property is full of the character you would expect from it's over 400 years, but has all the modern conveniences to keep you going for your stay. Thank you for sharing your house with us, we can see now why so many people return for many visits.
Nicola
Great very rural location amazing views! Really enjoyed our stay here for a significant birthday with lots of family coming and going throughout the week. Loved watching the farmers at work and the sheep in close proximity to the property. Good flexibility on the beds bedrooms which suited us, lovely communal areas for catching up and great off road parking area which was great as some of us were on motorbikes so off road parking is a must. Was great that the kitchen was well stocked with pans, implements etc. which is often not the case in holiday lets. Thanks also to the owner who dealt with our 2 hour early supermarket delivery!!
Wray green is really like stepping back in time, you can really relax and chill for the hustle and bustle of daily life, so if this is what you like this is definitely the place to be, the roaring log fire in a evening after a lovely walk is fabulous, the stunning views are breathtaking, we absolutely loved our stay would really recommend this property, we will definitely be back.
Charlie
Lovely house in fantastic location. Great views from the house and good walks straight from the door. House warm and cosy with log burners. House has lots of character due to the tasteful and eclectic mix of furniture, pictures and artefacts. Well definitely go back again and again. Charlie
We have been going to Wray green for around 25 years. need I say any more A few years ago I wrote about the cottage Only 25 mins from the motor way, but 100 years from civilisation And it still the same !!!
The cottage was exactly what we wanted. Being an older property, we were warned it may be cold but there were plenty of extra heaters and fuel for the fire. Couldn't fault it and would have happily stayed longer.
Fantastic cottage in a fantastic location
Wray Green is full of character, rustic charm and in such a stunning location that our week away will be remembered for a long time to come, albeit we had a mixed bag of weather. The house is very welcoming and perfectly cosy with both fires going when it was chilly and blowing a gale outside appreciated the hot water bottles too on a couple of colder nights. There are so many beautiful walks locally with an abundance of places to visit in the area that we could happily have stayed longer. The owners were extremely helpful and accommodating too. Highly recommend.
Charlie
Our 4th visit to Wray Green. Lovely comfortable house in stunning location.
Sandra
Enjoyed our second holiday at Wray Green and hope to go again.
From.start to finish it was an amazing holiday ! The farmer on his quad opened gate on arrival ,dipped his cap to my mum ,a true gentleman! The facilities were excellent for us as a big family, plenty plates ,cutlery ,large pans and dining table.washing machine ,dryer ,two fridges and freezer a god send as you can imagine with 4 kids ! The beds were comfy plenty dvds,games, outdoor stuff play with. THE VIEWS WERE MAGNIFICENT, blanket of stars at night ,bats etc we drove to Kirby Stephen went in the church which was fascinating, and kendal .To say we didn't want to go home is an understatement and we definitely will be booking again .Thanks for allowing us to enjoy our family time together in such a stunning place and catering the house to all needs no matter how big or small the family
Thank you, the five of us had a wonderful stay, very relaxing. There are great walks nearby, though you don't need to go anywhere but the garden for a beautiful view, it's right on your doorstep.
A real Yorkshire Dales hill farm experience. Views all around and a comfortable period house. The holiday home has everything you need and comfortable beds.
If you like to be away from it all, enjoy the countryside, appreciate a lovingly restored historical farmhouse then Wray Green is for you! We had a fantastic 2 week family holiday and thoroughly enjoyed every minute. The wall to wall sunshine and record temperatures were a bonus! The nearest neighbours are 2 fields away. The photos of the view from the garden just don't do it justice. The first evening we just sat on the patio mesmorised by the view. The cottage was soptlessly clean and perfect for our family. We were particularly impressed by the kitchendining area which had plenty of space and equipment to cook for 7 of us. Lots of large saucepans and dishes etc. We did a lots of walking, lots of swimming in lakes and rivers and we also explored the local area which was much quieter than in the busy towns of the Lake District. In the cottage there were lots of games to play, books to read, videos to watch and the WIFI is excellent. We also had decent signal for our mobile phones which we hadn't expected. All in all a fantastic base for a fantastic holiday. Thank you for sharing Wray Green with us.
Stayed at Wray Green at the start of June with a party of 6. Great facilities, bathroom with bath upstairs, shower with toilet downstairs, literally has everything you'll need for your stay away. If you like being out in the sticks and very remote with no neighbours then this is your ideal place. Very clean, plenty of space. Amazing views. Just absolutely loved it and would definitely stay again. Thank you so much for a lovely stay if your beautiful house.
Melanie
Lovely cottage. Very homely and comfortable with everything we needed. Lovely books and good DVDs. Stunning surroundings. Would love to go again!
Stuart
A fantastic gem that is so much better than any feedback or photo supplied. We did have awesome weather and the lambing season was in full flow. The kids loved it and had freedom that is seldom experienced anymore, they took full advantage of it. Wray Green has been well thought out and equipped, I'd be surprised if you were found wanting. Some comments left me confused this place is amazing, you are staying in a sixteenth century building dating back to Oliver Cromwell. If you want 'Holiday Inn' then forget about it, but if want great views, fresh air and a connection to the outside, whilst being warm and cosy, this is the place.
Sandra
Lovely property and scenery, very peaceful. Cottage very clean and well equipped, owners very helpful, would like to return.
The property description given by the owners is spot on, and the information pack available at the house is one of the best I've seen. We absolutely loved our stay and plan to return later in the year.
Christopher
Thank you Jemma for hosting us at Sykes Farm. Everything was perfect and the cottage and surrounding views and walks are stunning. myself and my family will definitely be returning in the future.
Jacquie
We loved the area, its in a stunning place, with plenty of walks from the door step. Lovely little villages all around. We didn't want to come home
Elizabeth e
Stunning location .
I wanted to get away from things for a few days and Wray Green was perfect. It is old fashioned with no TV reception but very good WiFi. I brought my own drinking water but it was no great issue. Simple but lovely and I would love to go again. Owners were thoughtful and considerate. I'm not sure why there are walls everywhere because they are not for keeping the sheep in. Their surprise appearances were the best bit of the stay.
Patricia
Wray Green is exactly as the posting on the website describes. Remote, beautiful views and oldworldly. The guest information is the most comprehensive we have ever seen. Very useful. We would like to visit again.
We were not told that the fields around the property were full of sheep as our dog chases them i have had him tied up for five days,you have me the wrong information and you should refund my money. We had to leave the house 2 days early because of this
