Another wonderful holiday at Urlay Nook
By Guest on 21-Oct-2026This was our 14th(!) stay at Urlay Nook and we continue to love the cottage and the location. Askrigg is an excellent base for exploring Wensleydale, Swaledale, and Wharfedale, and there are also plenty of walks from the front door of the cottage. The cottage was as warm and welcoming as ever and Ken & Sue are excellent hosts. Thank you once again.
Another great week
By Guest on 06-Oct-2026Our second stay at Urlay Nook and just as lovely. A gorgeous traditional cottage in a great location. Wouldn’t hesitate to return.
A real gem

Excellent stay
By Guest on 11-Aug-2026Very good, comfortable and well appointed cottage. Had everything we needed and Askrigg is a gem. Plenty of pubs and a brilliant selection of local shops. We’ll definitely be booking another stay.
Beautiful Cottage
By Guest on 11-Aug-2026This really is a wonderful cottage, which is why we keep returning, we feel its home from home. Urlay Nook has a special place in our hearts, not just because its beautiful inside and out but is also fantastically well equipped with everything you need and more. The owner takes special care to leave lovely welcome goodies and Ice Cubes in the freezer all ready for your first drink in the stunning garden with a beautiful view and if your lucky, the sheep in the field behind will pop down to say hello while your out there. The only bad thing i can say about Urlay Nook is that we had to leave and return to reality! Honestly the best cottage weve stayed in!
Fabulous
By Guest on 09-Jun-2026This lovely cottage in the village of Askrigg is a wonderful place to stay. It is clean, comfortable and in an ideal location for sight seeing and for walking the many field paths and tracks from the doorstep. The scenery in the area is very varied with meadows, dry stone walls, rivers, waterfalls and moors. Wensleydale is a calm relaxing area for walking as well as visiting the Hawes Countryside Museum, Gayle Mill, Aysgarth Falls and Bolton Castle.
