The village and location was perfect and the pub opposite, only five steps away from the front door of the cottage, was extremely friendly and served wonderful food and drink!

Cosy and comfortable with a very well stocked kitchen. The milk and cookies on arrival were very welcome. The cottage is the perfect base for walking and Settle is a short picturesque stroll away. We made use of the tourist information centre to go on beautiful local walks and the Settle to Carlisle railway trip is not to be missed! The Black Horse pub is directly opposite but very quiet and does lovely food. The cottage owner couldnât have been more helpful when I made enquiries. We will come back.

Could have been tricky to dry wet clothes without putting on the heating. Towels were a bit of a problem day to day. Very good base from which to explore very locally and into the Dales - excellent supermarket within walking distance and friendly pub with extremely good food next door.
