Ivy cottage is a real bijou cottage on a quiet lane, just right for two of us and our two little dogs. Whilst two small children may be OK, I would question suitability for 4 adults, especially in the tiny kitchen. Well equipped kitchen with plenty of equipment.

One is never quite sure what to expect when a property is booked on the strength of some reviews and a few photos, but Ivy Cottage did not disappoint.

Great location, really clean and comfortable, and the owners had really thought about what needed to be available to guests. There were just 2 of us (and our dog) and I will be honest and say that I think the cottage could be a little small for four, but otherwise we couldn't really fault it. We obviously liked it as this was our second visit, and Read moreI wouldn't rule out a third! Hide

So grateful to the owner for squeezing us in at the last minute. We loved the cottage. It is very cosy and the surroundings are idyllic.

Ivy Cottage, in the rural setting of a country lane, had good access to main roads making it a great base for visiting the Yorkshire Dales. It was peaceful and cosy.
