A good place to stay with extended family. Plenty of space to be together but also plenty to be apart as well. The pool table was an added bonus. Thank you for a good weekend.

We had a lovely time in Airton at this beautifully converted former church. Airton is a small hamlet with an incredible farm shop, don't miss out on going for breakfast there. The property is absolutely gorgeous, with 5 large bedrooms, a giant living space and a great kitchen. There is plenty of open space outside with amazing views, we spent most evenings outside the property playing games or sports on the large area of grass. The pool table is a nice addition, we had lots of great games across the week. The property is perfectly located to explore the surrounding areas, we walked to Malham, explored caves, took in Bolton Abbey and went round Skipton amongst other places. We normally don't revisit a place twice but we would definitely return to this incredible property.
