Lovely cottage with everything you need in the heart of a gorgeous little village. There is one pub there and no other amenities but it doesn’t matter as it is close enough to Masham to get what you need. Booked again for next year so that says enough It would be a help if the bushes at the bottom could be trimmed back a little to make parking easier but it’s not a problem

The poor hot water supply (ex the shower) seems worse than our last visit two years ago but did not have any real impact on our enjoyment of the property.
