Lovely little cottage for 2. Wonderful views across Swaledale. Lovely pub in village a short walk away. Plenty of walking opportunities straight from the cottage. Peaceful. Welcomed by the owner and homemade cake and milk was left for us on arrival. Thank you.

Just had a fantastic week in this cottage. The view from the living room windows is amazing, the cottage is immaculately clean with every home comfort. The owner left us delicious homemade cakes which was so thoughtful . There are so many walks in the area, the village pub is great too!
