A great location for exploring the Dales, either by car or walks straight from the front door. The cottage is very comfortable with everything we needed for the week. The only issue we had was with a rather chilly bathroom as the towel rail didn't seem to work. Other than that, all the electric heaters worked fine. For pubs, The George in Thoralby has recently reopened and is very welcoming, but isn't serving food. The Street Head Inn is also in walkable distance (take a torch!) and does great food, but expect to book a table at weekends.

Nice, well equipped comfy cottage. Places to visit near by. Really nice pub near by within walking distance but don't advise walking there in the dark. Definitely would stay there again if visiting the dales.
