Beautifully furnished, comfortable property in the heart of the glorious Yorkshire Dales. In a remote position, well located for many historic sites and attractions, often via narrow, steep, country lanes. Scenic setting with a riverside walk and more, nearby. Surrounded by sheep and lambs, also Belted Galloway cows and alpacas in neighbouring fielRead moreds. Almost every room inside the cottage has steps, some of them steep. Particularly luxurious to have a choice of spacious lounges and of dining areas, both indoors and out!. Gorgeous garden. None of the party had a phone signal but the Wi-Fi was reliable. TV seems to only operate if you have accounts for Channel 4, ITV, Netflix etc. Hide

Fantastic time had by all. Old Hall great accommodation, plenty of room, well stocked with equipment, really good mix of old and contemporary. Location great for walking (including without having to drive) and sight seeing. Did have trouble getting the wood burner in the main room to light but this was a minor inconvenience probably more linked Read moreto our fire lighting skills. Hide

A Hogmanay celebration in a superb house - everything thought of. Weather could have been better but more energetic members did two local park runs and a bit of walking all in all a wonderful break.
