Lovely spacious cottage in a good position in the village. Walls so thick traffic noise was minimal. Well equipped and the owner rang before we got there to make sure we were happy with directions etc. She came across as very friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend to friends and family.

Nelson Cottage is well placed to visit the Yorkshire Dales and The Lake District. A generous welcome pack is provided which we appreciated. It was very clean. Parking in the layby across the road was never a problem. We did find the property to be a little dated. The downstairs bathroom would benefit from new taps. There is a dvd player to compensate for the fact that the television only plays live television – there are no catch-up or streaming channels. There is a key box but you must speak to the owner to be given the code.

We enjoyed our stay. The cottage was a perfect base to use for a walking holiday. I appreciated it having everything to make our holiday easier (towels, bedding, dishwasher tablets, starter wood for the word burning stove, etc).Parking was fine and while limited in the village I did not have an issue parking in or very near the layby suggested.I would visit again!
