Good or bad, we publish all the reviews left by the guests who have stayed at this property.
Ms Dupont
Spacious, bright and warm (in winter) property. Beautifully decorated and within walking distance of a charming traditional pub. Comfortable and exactly as in the pictures! The adjoining holiday cottage was not let until the last day of our stay, so it was also very quiet.
Mrs Drewett
This property looked fantastic online and did not disappoint in reality. What a beautiful house with stunning views across the Dales. The house was presented to a very high standard with exceptional attention to detail by the hosts. We were made to feel very welcome. The whole property including the beautiful cottage garden felt luxurious and most importantly relaxing. The location is perfect as it is tucked away in a pretty, quiet little village yet close to the main roads and only a short drive to many quintessential Yorkshire market towns and the vast open countryside. There is so much to explore in the local area, although the property is so lovely that you won't be in a rush to leave and will be happy to return at the end of a day spent exploring! Would not hesitate to recommend this property and very much hope to return.
Mr Swatton
