Lovely touch with books and maps and welcome biscuits! However- the description of Little Winder implied that it was on the edge of Askham which was misleading as it was 2 miles outside the village and the narrow road and then the single rutted farm track with areas of deep unavoidable pot- holes was not at all pleasant and inhibited us returning to the cottage as much as we would have liked.
