The character cottage was wonderful and after 7 nights it felt like home. It was warm and cosy and an excellent location to everything we wanted to see in the Yorkshire Dales. We thoroughly enjoyed waking up every morning and looking out our windows at the sheep in the neighbouring paddock. We were sad to move on, and would definitely book again.

The cottage was well equipped but lacked overall comfort. There was a few problems, the double bed collapsing, radiator in the bathroom not working. The bed was seen to quickly but the radiator was not. Could not get onto the internet due to being chargeable, which was not mentions in the information. If this had been highlighted I would not have picked this cottage. Could not pay for the connection because of lack of phone coverage to obtain internet to get bank authorisation. Very unsatisfactory. Parking is also a problem area as it is very restricted.
