This was ouŕ second stay at the cottage this year we enjoyed our first so much, so that says it all really . Once again we had a lovely relaxing holiday. The weather wasn't too good but we were warm and comfy and went out and about between the showers with our three dogs. It's a beautiful area with plenty to see and do, like the Wensleydale Creamery tour and the unspoilt village of West Burton with its falls. The dogs had a great time playing in them. We also had a meal in the Wensleydale Heifer, not cheap, but the best fish and chips ever and the staff and service were excellent.
