The cottage is in a wonderful location, right next to the River Wharfe. It was comfortable and clean and the owners left a welcome pack and personal card for us. The bonus was having swallows nesting over the back door. Great to see them flying in and out.

Visited as two adults and a medium size dog. Property was very good for us but maybe a tight squeeze for four people, especially in wet weather. Had a great stay with property in a superb position in the village and would look to return next time staying in Kettlewell. All three pubs well worth popping into for both drinks and food.

Superb, comfortable cottage for 2, can sleep 4 but if all adults may be a bit tight. A lot of thought has gone into ensuring an easy and pleasant stay. Location is fantastic as in centre of village by great pubs and cafes; plus on a lot of great walks directly from cottage in all directions.
