The quality of furnishings, crockery and kitchen equipment was well above expectations and itâs not often you leave somewhere not looking forwards to a night in your own bed because of a mediocre mattress. The location was excellent especially for dog walkers,neighbours friendly and hosts welcoming.

Good working gas central heating and a open fire, (which takes some getting going) Hot water and showers very good, very fast. Mega comfortable bed . Easy to use washer and dryer. Microwave easy but can't comment on electric oven or smart TV as I didn't use them. Everything you could want is provided. Plus a gift of coffee and Yorkshire parkin , thank you. Would not hesitate to book again or recommend to anybody else. Good bus service into Ilkley and beond. Co op in village and a couple of pubs serving food. The Swans food is delicious! Book this cottage, you won't be disappointed!
