This year we added an extra couple of days so that we could do some walking in the area. My partner joined myself and my friend and he did done solo walking in the area at the weekend. We visited Malham Cove and the waterfall close by and drove around the surrounding beautiful countryside. The cottage is very comfortable and we like Addingham. The local pub is very friendly too. Thank you

The accomodation was spacious, clean and comfortable with everything you would need - no issues at all. Addingham itself has a number of pubs offering a wide range of food from simple to gastro pub level. Access to the surrounding places of interest is really good and the Warfe itself, for hiking, is on the edge of town.

Very comfortable and equipped with everything you could possibly need. One very minor negative - shower curtainâ¦â¦â¦. Hate shower curtains!
