Just returned from a fantastic stay. First time staying in the Dales and we enjoyed every minute. The cottage was gorgeous especially the bedroom with the huge window looking* out onto the garden and hills. There was lovely touches like fairy lights candles etc and lovely bedding, towels etc. we could not fault our stay. We were in a perfect location very quiet but only a mile from Clapham a lovely village with a local shop and lovely walking trails.

We had a great mon-fri stay at this lovely barn, and can’t wait to come back the barn was well equipped cosy and beautifully decorated, it was the perfect location for us and the dogs lots to explore near by yet peaceful at night, we had a great time! The lovely welcome treats were much appreciated after a long drive and the owners had made sure the heating was on and the LED fire too, the inclosed garden was great for the dogs to run about in the morning and not have to worry about them escaping. Thank you again and we hope to be back soon.
