Monthly Rentals in Winksley

We had a very enjoyable stay in a beautiful area. The house is well appointed - a very well equipped kitchen, and a lovely welcome basket. The wood burner was welcome on cool spring evenings and easy to use (very clear instructions left by Felicity). The house was spotlessly clean and welcoming and I would definitely recommend for a peaceful stay in beautiful surroundings.

Jo was super helpful and friendly, making us feel right at home from the start. The place was perfect. It was lovely to be able to sit on the balcony and enjoy a cup of tea in the morning sunshine. The chickens provided great entertainment and we were lucky enough to see two gorgeous lambs that Jo had help deliver an hour before we returned from our day out at Fountains Abbey and Studley Royal. Perfect end to the day.

No hesitation giving 100% positive rating. Charming cottage perfect for a couple, in a lovely quiet village. We bought bacon and sourdough for breakfast at the fab local butcher, ate a good straightforward meal at the local pub, clearly popular with the locals in a Friday night, and said hi to the friendly sheep in the old church graveyard! Close to Fountains Abbey, perfect for parkrun, and lots to see jn the local area. Stunning sunshine helped too. Slept well, could park outside, had everything we needed. Super helpful hosts just next door. Would definitely go back and recommend.

What a find! A wonderful cottage with absolutely everything you could possibly need to fully enjoy your home from home. Beautiful decor, well thought out and top quality fittings and furnishings. Very, very comfy bed. Dave is a lovely host, friendly and welcoming. He kindly left us a surprise bottle of prosecco in the fridge as we were celebrating our 20th wedding anniversary. The welcome pack of milk, eggs, bread, orange juice and that amazing lemon drizzle cake was most appreciated. The cottage is situated in the lovely village of Kirkby Malzeard which was a wonderful base to explore the beautiful landscape and interesting towns and villages of North Yorkshire. Fountains Abbey and Masham are a must. We also enjoyed visits to Knaresborough, Ripon, Richmond and Harrogate - all within easy reach. We couldn't recommend Thump cottage more highly and hope to return ourselves (as many others have done).
