It was a wonderful holiday cottage, certainly had the Wow factor! It had everything we needed for a great family week. The pool table and games room were used every evening and there was more than enough space for us all to spread out. Still not convinced about an Aga but it does grow on you (the induction hobs and extra kitchen came in handy too)! Wouldn't hesitate to recommend and we look forward to coming again, it's a beautiful area. Lovely cafe in Askrigg and great local pubs too.

What a fabulous home for our week up in the Yorkshire Dales. From the moment we arrived, we were stunned by the amazing views. Inside, the house is amazing - every room is stunning and well equipped. The pool table in the bar area was enjoyed every night and the real fire was a bonus! We had access to the cinema room and the games room - both firm hits with the younger adults in our group. The family kitchen is a phenomenal space and the large dining table seated 12 people comfortably. Our host was friendly and informative; the welcome hamper was very tasty!! Thank you :-) We would not hesitate to recommend this property to others.

Excellent location with fantastic views. Plenty of space for 11 of us. A good range of activities to keep us all occupied. Great to have a large circular table where we could all enjoy a meal at the same time. Would have appreciated a traditional oven in the kitchen as well as the Aga but this is a minor quibble.
