This little beauty was hidden and off the round which made it all the more special....parking was not an issue .....a space was always found...and we had 2 cars! Beautiful cottage, beautifully decorated, wonderfully comfortable and in equally wonderful surroundings....the viaduct can be seen from the front bedroom, and its easy to get to with a Brew with a View cafe at the other end.....straight out of a Bronte story! Local shops are good, and here we were central for visiting local attractions within half an hour! And, the neighbours were very friendly too! Definitely on our list for a return visit! Thank you

Flight of steps down made access more tricky. Noisy neighbours ( young children). Otherwise happy with the cottage.
