It takes a couple of days to get used to how low the chairs are in the sitting room, which could be a major problem for older guests. Apart from that the property is very nice and great if you have a dog. The neighbours are all very friendly and the village pub served great food after a days walk.It was easy to park the car safely outside the property and the village shop provided all the basic essentials. Hawes was only a few miles away by car if provisions needed replenishing.
