Very wet and very windy all weekend. We still made the most of it and had a great time .It was great coming back to the accommodation and being able to warm ourselves and dry our clothes.

My husband and I had a lovely stay at Cotterill Farm. We stayed in the milking parlour, which was a good size for a couple and very comfortable. The shower is great. The area around the holiday cottages is very quiet with wonderful views. We enjoyed local walks from the doorstep, through the Dales. Also, the property is not far from many places of interest suitable for all ages. We would recommend this property and location.

The location for The Milking Parlour within Cotterill Farm was amazing.. lovely view and the cottage felt cosy and homely. There wasn’t anything that we needed which wasn’t there. The only reason I have knocked one mark off the comfort is the double bed was just too hard for us, but this is purely a personal preference and not a criticism. Easy booking and clear instructions to find.
