We found the kitchen and dining room to be a little cold but it was a very cold week we stayed. The rest of the house was lovely and toasty. Had a fab week in the Dales with friends, the house is really handy for the centre of Settle, shops and restaurants, the Booths supermarket and the railway station. A great base to explore the Yorkshire Dales from.

The cottage was perfect for location and very well equipped. One of the only cottages we have stayed in that had plenty of storage space in the kitchen. The beds were comfortable and the views from the back of the house amazing. We will definitely be back!
