Amie was a very generous host who made us feel most welcome. We were particularly pleased with the size of the cottage and beds, the excellent shower and the dog friendly attitude. Walks on the door step as was the multitude of wildlife. We were lucky enough to see, from the living room, a barn owl hunting. Tawny owls were hooting during our night time walks. I would highly recommend a stay.

The cottage was super comfortable with all amenities perfect! We were warmly greeted by host, Aimee, on arrival & were delighted to find a charming welcome pack not just for ourselves, but for the dogs! Nothing was too much trouble! The Hayloft offers an unparalleled view over the Dales and is a perfect observation post for the plethora of wildlife! Would highly recommend this cottage! We will be returning!
