Hi all, we arrived on the Monday and were happy with the property. It’s situated at the end of Long Preston. But thankfully close enough to the village pub. The property is also ideally situated for us to make visits to local towns of interest ie Skipton, Settle etc. Also if you are taking your dog, then the nine styles walk is a very good one to do. There are lots of restaurants situated not too far away, but you will need to drive, all seemed to be dog friendly. We really enjoyed our stay, so big thank you to our host.

Arrived and from the outside it looked gorgeous Went inside and everything changed. The cottage was dirty and in the twin room the beds had not been made and just left a mess. The place was full of cobwebs and we had to spend the first day cleaning and tidying. There was glass on the floor and the fire had not been cleaned out. Spoke to the owner who did nothing. Will never stay here again
