This is the best holiday cottage we have ever stayed in and we have stayed in quite a lot. The views are to die for and it was so lovely to see the alpacas, horses, ducks and hens on a daily basis. The flowers, chocolates, wine and milk were a lovely thought and really appreciated.I could actually live there.We will be back at some point.I normally take washing up liquid, kitchen roll and plenty toilet rolls in this cottage everything was provided.

We had a lovely week at this very well equipped cottage set in the Yorkshire hills. The accommodation was very spacious and comfortable all round, and the welcome pack was a nice bonus. Great views from the cottage and plenty of walks in the locality. Eateries and supermarkets are available just down the hill. The train station is also just a few minutes drive away with free parking (currently) for travel further afield.
