The cottage is described as clean, comfortable, and suitable for both families and pets, with special mentions of a warm open fire and thoughtful touches like children's toys and games.
Guests consistently describe the cottage as clean and cosy. One mention of wet floors upon arrival suggests a minor issue, but overall, the high standard of cleanliness is evident.
The location is highly praised for its central position, proximity to local pubs, and ease of access to sightseeing in the dales. However, one mention of early morning truck noise slightly impacts the perfect score.
The cottage is frequently referred to as cosy and comfortable, with comfy beds and a warm open fire. The presence of an en-suite bathroom adds to the comfort level.
Facilities are generally well-regarded, especially the well-equipped kitchen and the provision of games and local information. However, there are suggestions for improvement in the kitchen setup for larger groups and the garden maintenance.
The provision of children's toys, games, and a welcome pack indicates thoughtfulness. While such gestures are appreciated, it's important to note that specific offerings may vary and are not guaranteed for every stay.
