A brilliant weekend for my 80th birthday.

From the moment we arrived, it was clear that everything in the cottage was brand new and meticulously clean. The attention to detail in the decor and furnishings made it feel like a true home away from home. The location is absolutely perfect for anyone wanting to explore the Ingleton Falls walk. We loved being able to start our hike just minutes from the cottage, making it easy to enjoy the breathtaking scenery without the hassle of a long drive. Beth and her husband went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed, offering great tips about the local area, where to eat and making sure our stay was as comfortable as possible. I canât recommend this place enough for anyone looking to unwind and enjoy the natural beauty of the area! Thank you so much!

It is newly refurbished to a very high standard and provides a superb kitchen with excellent appliances and utensils, luxury modern bathrooms and tastefully decorated bedrooms with lovely soft pillows and duvets for extra comfort. The two lounges allow for different choices to suit range of guests. The garden is well designed with a table and seating and a barbecue which sadly we didnât get to use because of inclement weather . We have no hesitation in recommending this fabulous house.
