At Cat Hole Cottages we strive to give you a wonderful holiday in a beautiful cottage. We personally inspect each of our cottages regularly to make sure they are maintained to the highest standards. We try to give as full a description, with pictures, as we can to provide you with the information you need to choose between any of the lovely cottages we have.  We also include comments, where possible, from previous guests to give you a flavour of the area and the cottage.  If you have any objections to your comments being used on this site, please let us know - they will not be used.

We listen to all comments from visitors to our cottages and pass on all suggestions given to the cottage owners to help improve both the quality of accommodation and our service to holidaymakers. Please feel free to tell us about any issues arising, either during your holiday or at any time afterwards.

Many of us go on holiday to experience the thrill of staying in a type of home very different to our own. However, you should remember that your Yorkshire holiday cottage, like all homes, may have idiosyncrasies you may not be used to. Old properties often have thick walls and small windows, and as a result may feel colder and darker than modern homes, especially in Yorkshire! Cottages on farms (and even in villages) are surrounded by the noises of the countryside and the mobile phone reception in upper Swaledale and Arkengarthdale (Orange only) is patchy. Even TVand radio reception can be poor at times. Please make sure you check with us at the time of booking about reception etc if you have a particular requirement of this nature. If the cottage is advertised as having a 'private water supply' you should be aware that the water will be from a private source and has not been processed in a water treatment facility. We advise you to drink bottled or boiled water.  If a cottage has a septic tank, it is vital that only organic waste and toilet tissue are flushed down the loo!
