Clean, quiet despite being on farm, kitchen was well equipped & well supplied with crockery. Only minor complaint was that the armchairs/ sofas weren't the most comfortable. Would definitely book again if we visit the Dales again in the future.

This is our 2nd time we have stayed at this lovely property and won't be our last. The location is absolutely perfect. We loved looking out the window seeing the beautiful view . We always feel sad leaving the yorkshire dales because we love it that much.
