The bungalow is a treat to stay there. This was our 3rd visit and we will be back. The hosts are very helpful and friendly and have a lot of knowledge of the area too. For example, a train station which was very useful to know and a bus stop nearby. We cannot fault the accommodation in any way, 5 star to the owners.

The cottage is a bungalow and has a comprehensive view from the sitting room and principal bedroom. Unfortunately there is nowhere to walk from the house (except round a dark pinewood) without walking along a busy main road. It is necessary to drive out to find any shop. There are several pleasant and interesting places to visit nearby (Ripon catheRead moredral, Harlow Carr gardens, Harewood house, Ripley Castle etc). Hide

Beautiful setting and could not ask more of the Bungalow which had everything we needed. Excellent location to explore the Dales and surrounding market towns and even went to York for the day from a station 5 minutes away. Unfortunately the wet start to the UK summer meant the grass tennis court was not available but there were 3 different clubs/coRead moreurts within 5-15 minutes which we could use (2 were bookable/free). Would highly recommend this property. Hide
