Historical castles and ruins are numerous with Bolton Castle almost on the doorstep and Middleham Castle a few miles away. From Middleham square you can sit and watch the impressive sight as the racehorses pass through on their way to the gallops. The Forbidden Corner is just down the road with its labyrinth of tunnels and underground caves to explore. There is so much to do and see you will certainly want to come back.

Spacious cottage in a small villiage. It was very clean apart from a pair of used blue underpants in the main bedroom behind the curtains. The pub in the villiage is good but some of the food was not brilliant. The shower was not the best as there is not enough pressure for it to work properly. The kitchen was well equiped apart from a missing tea towel. We walked to Castle Bolton across the public footpaths that took approximately 40 minutes and was a great day out. Overall a pleasant cottage.
