Top class cottage! The furnishings are very tasteful, settees and beds are very comfortable, and there is every piece of crockery, cutlery and kitchen equipment that you would ever need. The weather was particularly good on one of the days so we just relaxed in the garden, looking at the stunning surroundings. Would highly recommend!

Fantastic cottage in a lovely location. We did some walks from the house as well as Malham and the Peaks. There was plenty space for a three generational family, in fact the photos dont do it justice. Brilliant garden for our dog too. Loads of kitchen equipment and really nice touch to have starter log packs as well as washing up liquid / cloths eRead moretc. Definitely recommend if wish a quiet location and cosy but spacious house.

This cottage is exceptional. Warm, spacious, extremely comfortable. It is filled with beautiful fixtures and fittings and is probably the best weve ever stayed at in terms of comfort and quality.
