Fantastic and comfortable cottage at the end of the beautiful Littondale. Many walks and cycle rides from the door.Our dogs were welcomed but we kept themvon long leads in the garden as although it is fenced they were still able to scale the wall and there are sheep all around. This was not a problem and to be expected in such a beautiful and rural location.The cottage has all the amenities you will need and the log fire was lovely on the few occasions we used it.My only observation is that it would be helpful to have more crockery as because we were 5 it meant more or less using the dishwasher after every meal even though it was not full. Also a few casserole type dishes would be useful.But if you don't want to cook there is always the Queen's Arms down the road in Litton.
