Our experience was that Laykin proved to be everything we had been led to expect it to be - roomy, extremely well equipped, super comfortable bed with a number of unexpected touches e.g. use of binoculars and of walking maps in their own cases. The welcome offering was very much appreciated, especially the Yorkshire Crisps which didn't last long! TRead morehe approach road is both the vice and the virtue of this property; vice in the sense that Laykin is some distance from the road and any local facilities, but virtue in that its splendid isolation ensures peace and quiet and some of the most spectacular views over Swaledale that are available. We very much enjoyed our stay. Hide

Extremely comfy cottage, warm and clean with good beds, linen and towels. Cottage is perched on a slope that offers fantastic views of the surrounding countryside. Happy to just sit and watch the rolling skies. We were lucky to have a few clear nights too, which along with a full moon, allowed us to gaze up at the stars. Great walks from the front Read moredoor, or lots of places to explore in a car. It is a steep track up to the cottage so it is sensible to heed the very clear instructions of the owner. Hide
