**** and Liddy's is a lovely, cosy, cottage situated in the village of Gargrave which gives access to much of the Yorkshire Dales and is only a few miles from the market town of Skipton.The cottage is very well equipped and felt really homely, a feeling enhanced by the welcome gifts left by the owners (even Prosecco in the fridge!)We thoroughly enjoyed our week despite the poor weather and will certainly consider returning at some time.
