We had a lovely week in Blue Buttons, everything you could need was available for use. It was lovely to meet you both. The house itself was clean and very comfortable with a lovely garden to look out of the dining room. So handy having a toilet downstairs & upstairs. Both the Kitchen/Dining Room & the Lounge & Bedroom were lovely and spacious. Super big shower & double hot tub in the bathroom. It was lovely to come inside and relax after a walk. A lovely 10-15 minutes walk into Skipton either through Aireville Park and along the canal or along the main road. We were lucky enough to see them filming All Creatures Great & Small in Grassington. The Woolly Sheep is a really nice meal. Plenty of places to eat & drink in Skipton & lots of places to visit nearby. Had breakfast at Robertshaws Farm Shop & Bakery on our last morning. A ten minute drive away (recommended).
