The perfect getaway, location, cleanliness and comfort. Our hosts provided everything from Prosecco and chocolates, to firewood and milk. Very happy and our family thoroughly enjoyed getting away from it all. We will be back.

There is plenty of space and it has everything you need and more. We had a lovely relaxing stay and really didnt want to leave. Thank you for having us!

We had a lovely short break in the midst of the Yorkshire Dales. The cottage was well appointed, well heated and had everything we needed (& more besides). Very quiet especially at night. Lots of books to read with wide range of options. Would be happy to stay again.

Very comfortable and well equipped. Though near to the main road, because it faced away, it was very quiet. We could sit outside with a pre dinner drink in peace and quiet. Would I return - yes. Even though some parts were quite low and I'm 6'5"!
