We have just had a wonderful week at the Hayloft; the location is superb and ideal for visiting the Moors and the Dales. There are dog walks directly from the doorstep. The cottage itself was spotlessly clean, well equipped and the beds were comfortable. WiFi signal is great as was the phone signal. Treats, bowls, poo bags and a doggy towel wereRead more provided for the four legged guests and the garden is enclosed and safe. The owners were lovely - very friendly and helpful. Can definitely recommend and we will be back! Hide
