No. 6 Flying Horseshoe CottagesOur second visit to the cottages. Last year we stayed in No. 3 and loved it. No. 6 was even better. Well equipped kitchen and plenty of space for 3 adults in this spotless cottage. Enclosed garden was great for our dog with lovely walks all around.The A65 gives easy access to lovely market towns like Skipton and Kirkby Lonsdale. On both visits we had a very good price and excellent weather. Try it and see - you won’t be disappointed!
