Lovely, tranquil location. Peaceful and quiet. Great position for exploring the surrounding areas, the Dales, waterfalls, Richmond and Ripon. If you want to get away from it all, this is most certainly the place to stay. For those needing to stay in touch, the WiFi connection was faultless. Listen out for the owls!
