Probably the smallest, quirkiest cottage in the Yorkshire Dales. Was beautifully presented, spotlessly clean and in a great location between two local pubs and perfect for trips into the Dales. Highly recommend.

Fantastic little cottage, clean and tidy. It has everything you need and is in a peaceful location. Some great walks with amazing views. Great food in walking distance or a short drive for more choices.

For being a very small cottage it was well equipped, comfy and clean. The little village has a short right next door for milk etc. All the villagers are very accommodating and polite and the next door neighbour gave us some great info on surrounding area. The fox pub which is about 200m down the road does fantastic food at a very good price which iRead mores also dog friendly. So after a long days trekking with your pooch this was a really great way to end the day next to an open fire and good company. Hide

Lovely little cottage, the local pub shop and restaurant are all very welcoming. The owners were very approachable and made our visit very enjoyable. Several castles/estates in the area for day trips out.
