Amazing! Me and my partner stayed here for her birthday weekend, it was perfect. We arrived to some lovely welcome gifts that were very thoughtful and the host was good as communicating and offering any help we may have needed. Its well equipped (including games and books) for anybody staying for either 1 night or a week. The hot tub is huge and easy to use. Gorgeous location, the surrounding are amazing and only a 30 minute walk into skipton centre. Taxis are also easy to get. We will definitely look at staying here again in the future, what a little gem!

Stunning location. Absolutely beautiful property. Gerri and Richard who own the property are lovely too. Got some great tips off places to visit. The cottage itself is stunning. It has everything you need for the perfect stay. We used it as a base to discover more of Yorkshire. It served us well as there are plenty of places to explore. Knowing we had such a lovely location to come back too made our stay even better. We've already booked again for next year, so we can come back and explore some more. Thanks for a lovely week away.
