    Good location and house very welcoming and well equipped. Very comfortable beds and a very generous welcome pack. Great walks from the door to Leyburn and the Shawl and to Wensley. There is also a very convenient walk behind the house to a woodland area.

    A well located and very clean property. Excellent welcome pack and plenty of provisions to get you going. The kitchen appliances work well and are simple to operate. No shop or pub in the village but only 10 mins drive to lots of amenities. Very clear unpolluted sky's so great for astronomy. No downstairs loo.
