A really clean and comfortable cottage. Plenty of space. Lovely kitchen with Aga. Lots to do in the surrounding area.
Everything about our weekend was great - the cleanliness, the welcome hamper and the garden all make this a perfect family weekend.
We have stayed in this property 4 or 5 times now and love the place. The location is wonderful for those who enjoy walking and the outdoors while having a luxurious cottage to go home to at the end of the day. We stayed this time with 3 of our adult kids and felt so relaxed. Note -cooking is via an Aga (there are electric options) which I love. Wifi is good. Tv is small and not a smart tv so we did have to use some of the kids' wires to watch netlflix via a laptop. The housekeeper lives in the village and was very responsive to the occasional queries we had. We were there for 2 weeks and got a bed change and quick clean in the middle which was nice. The only mishap was - we sat on the slate bench outside and it spontaneously broke!! (we are quite normal sized) . We fell quite badly but amazingly the tea mugs we were holding survived better than my back - good old Portmeirion china! Lots of great walks nearby and small towns to visit. There's an amazing Farm shop at Skipton to stock up in if you come via Leeds (Keelhaul Farm Shop) and Booths in Kirkby Lonsdale is excellent.
We booked Masongill Lodge for a family holiday & the quality of the accommodation was excellent- comfortable, clean & very beautifully decorated. Everyone had enough space & the garden was great for just lounging about in. Sam, the house manager was also very helpful in answering any queries we had. We all agreed we would love to return one day!
Everything was as we hoped after a gap of 3 years due to Covid. The house and garden are kept to a very high standard - and it was "home from home".
Everything in the house worked and was in a good and clean condition. Masongill Fell was an excellent location for our family meet up.
Excellent house and whole stay was very good indeed.
The house is in a lovely spot and is a very nice old building with lots of character. However we did find it cold when we turned up because apparently the heating has been turned right down so it took about two days for the house to warm up! Also there were no Internet instructions so we only found the routers after calls to the housekeeper who was very helpful. This sort of information ought to be on hand in the cottage.
Stunning property in a superb location. The cottage is exceptionally well equipped and warm with comfortable beds and plenty of room to relax in front of either of the two log burning stoves. The location is great for both exploring the Yorkshire Dales and the Lake District.
Masongill Lodge povides perfect setting and accommodation for the three generation weekend we book it for. Rita from Leeds
Masongill Lodge was absolutely perfect. Comfortable, spacious and well equipped. We absolutely loved it.
The location and the efforts made by the housekeeper are excellent. We felt "home from home". The only negatives were in the main bathroom - where the tap didn't work properly and the toilet seat needed replacing. I think for this type of property and price - these things should have been dealt with.
Brilliant weekend in the cottage, very clean and tidy on arrival. Highly recommend 👍
Wonderful house, superb location. Off the beaten track so quiet, but quick to join the main road. For us, the easy access onto the fells makes it a great place for a family walking holiday. Plenty of space for us all, either as a group, or all spread out through the various sitting areas. Only 4 stars as it is beginning to look tired, but we did notice the for sale notice in the yard!
Absolutely beautiful. Felt like walking into a home.
It was an excellent house in an excellent situation, wwith lots to ddo and see
Loved the cottage and area
House lovely and very cosy and clean, with lots of equipment. Housekeeper very helpful. Just a small point ......Perhaps the information folder needs checking for updates eg. bin days. The info. on the kitchen board differs from that in the folder.
House immaculate and garden beautiful - it was a return stay and just as nice as the first visit!

As all restrictions have been lifted across the United Kingdom, you are no longer legally required to self-isolate upon a positive Covid-19 result. You won’t be asked to take daily tests or isolate following contact with someone who has tested positive for COVID-19. This means, if you would like to modify or cancel your booking due to Covid-19, our normal terms and conditions now apply.
If the restrictions are reintroduced and you are forced to cancel your holiday due to legal restrictions, please be rest assured that we will help you to move your booking within the same property, offer a voucher to be used within the same property within a year or cancel your booking in this instance and we will refund you the price you paid in full.
If you are concerned about the potential impact of Covid-19 on your holiday plans, outside of legal restrictions, we strongly advise you to seek out travel insurance which covers you in these and other eventualities.
