Testimonials
We’re proud of what Gearstones has to offer. As a committee, what our guests have to say makes the work we do to keep the Lodge and Cottage going even more important.
“We once again had a fabulous residential last week. We managed 2 days of lovely weather before the heavens opened – we were very, very grateful for the drying room!”

“We had (as ever) a fabulous and very full weekend. Many thanks indeed to you and all on the Gearstones management committee – I don’t think we’ve ever had a Gearstones weekend that wasn’t great and this one was right up there with the very best.”

“Just wanted to say that me and my walking group had such a fabulous weekend in the lodge. Absolutely loved the work done on the lodge since I last visited.
The new toilets and showers upstairs and the back lawned garden area are absolutely stunning. Thanks again, hope to book with you again soon.”

“The weather was wet, The heaths were misty
But all in all, it all looked pretty.
The trip was fun, Even with no sun
We chilled out with tea and a bun.
We played Monopoly, and drank some beer
And in the morning the sky was clear.
So off to Ingleton, for a ramble around,
Here LISTEN! It was sound. xx.”

“Had a lovely time here! Went for a lovely (long) walk on Ingleton Waterfall trails! It was a beautiful, crisp, autumnal day and the waterfalls were beautiful. It is very charming here and there are amazing views!
It is so dark and cosy here! We love it!.”

Beautiful area, great walks, good food, and fantastic train journeys. To leave the car parked up was a bonus.”
