An idyllic setting for a beautifully luxurious barn conversion. Well set out with all the equipment needed for a very comfortable stay whatever the weather. Stunning scenery all the way from the town of Hawes where we were able to pick up supplies and enjoy a pint and an ice cream! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend.

Super clean, amazing fixtures, there was everything you could possibly want in the kitchen. Over the years we have stayed at 50+ cottages and this is by far the best! The views from the cottage were beautiful, with lovely walks from the door.

Wonderful property and location, one of the best weve stayed in and was very festive which was lovely.Great people, walks, views and pubs. We were there over New Year with extremely wild weather and we were very warm with everything we needed.
