Brenda
Such a homely cottage, perfect for us two and our little dog. The outdoor private area was great for relaxing and sunbathing. Really quiet area, nicely situated for exploring the surrounding countryside. 3 smart TVs, well equipped for everything else youâd need for a weeks stay. Highly recommend.

It is a credit to Joanne, the owner, who welcomed us on our arrival and showed us around and advised us where we can visit in the surrounding area. The bed was very comfortable and the shower was easy to use. We didn't use the outside space much as the weather wasn't great but we found it fully dog proof and safe. The cottage is in close walking distance to the village store, pub and the three eating establishments and is about a 20-30 minute drive to places such as Grassington, Haworth, Ilkley and Skipton. We would definitely recommend a stay at this lovely cottage.
