3rd visit to this lovely little cottage. Cosy and a great place to come back to and relax after a day of walking in the Dales. A short walk into Settle gets you access to lots of places to get takeaways. The Chinese on the Main Street is great. The pizza almost next door has the most toppings I’ve ever had. The Black Horse pub next door does great steaks and the warm and friendly atmosphere makes it the perfect place. Although the cottages only has on street parking we have never had an issue with parking our car. The only thing to be mindful of is that if you take your dog there is no secure outside area and you need to put your pooch on a lead if they need to go outside. The cottage is in a gunnel that is the entrance to other properties. And the road is the other end. Ingleton Falls, Malham Cove, Three Peaks, Ribblehead Viaduct all close by. Skipton a great town to visit. We will return as we have so much more to see and do and it’s a great base. Brian and Louise are the perfect hosts. Thanks for the welcome pack. Very thoughtful items. Enjoy!
