Property was spotless throughout with everything I could possibly have needed for a comfortable stay. Honestly the most comfortable bed I've ever slept in, so much that I made a note of the mattress make before leaving! Huge thanks to the owners for such a lovely stay, I will definitely be back.

Exiting the property (in car) needs care as corner is blind - but no actual problems experienced. Cottage historically most interesting, well equipped and owners very welcoming. Ideally situated for either the Dales or Forest of Bowland. Railway adds further interest. Log fire much appreciated by later evening.

The welcome pack was great touch with some lovely local things to eat bread , butter, cheese, biscuits and even bottle of wine. Owner was brilliant too weather was patchy despite being August bank holiday week so checked multiple times we were warm enough even putting heating on to help warm us up. The cottage contained so many nice touches and everything we needed and more. Can honestly recommend to anyone.
