The location of the cottage was perfect, set in a beautiful village, with amazing views. We especially loved the sheep right outside our window. The cottage itself was perfect. Very homely with everything we could possibly need inside. The beds were super comfy so we always had a great nights sleep. The cottage was lovely and clean on arrival. We would definitely stay here again and would highly recommend.

Parking was good but we did have issues with a blue car constantly parked partially blocking the gate. The property was in an excellent position for our needs with good walking from the door. We enjoyed the local pub which was very friendly and the Dales centre is a must to visit. We would certainly consider coming back to this property.
