Perfect Accommodation for a great few days in the Dales. Spotlessly clean. Furnished and decorated with pride rather than necessity. The enclosed Garden and Courtyard were perfect for letting our dog have a run around.So much to do in the area with views to die for around every corner.Loads of dog friendly pubs within a 10 minute drive. Special mention for the Marton Arms. Definitely worth booking in for a lovely meal.Nobody could ever regret a stay at this wonderful Cottage.
