Well equipped and warm, with a useful out-house to store boots. Lovely small cottage. Perfect area for Dales walks and lots of places to eat and visit in Hawes abs surrounding villages. Note there is no parking but can park down the road. Apart from that perfect for us with the dogs for a long weekend of walking.
