We stayed at the silver fern cottage ,has a very cozy and warm feel . The decor is in keeping with the property very homely .The kitchen is as cute as a button loved it. Bedrooms are spacious and comfortable very well maintained. Outside small seating area again very cute. Location is bang on for all amenities and dog walking as at the beginning of the shawl, great for a couple and fury friends.

Our second stay at Silver Fern and again we have no complaints (other than we had to leave!). A real home from home. Absolutely adore this cottage - everything you could possibly need and the location is fabulous - plenty of shops, pubs and restaurants on the square all within walking distance and best of all The Shawl mere footsteps away with the most spectacular views. Great local store a few steps away with everything you could need. Forgot our dog’s bowls and were delighted to find food and water bowls under the sink - great! Would move into this cottage tomorrow if I could! Sympathetically decorated - homely, cosy. Everything you need is there. We’re not usually ones to return, as we like to try different places, but this cottage is a real treasure, hence our second visit and we hope to come back again. Loads to do in the surrounding areas and plenty of choices for eating out in Leyburn. Thoroughly recommend this cottage.
