The location is highly praised for its convenience to local shops, pubs, and scenic walks. Its central position in Ingleton is considered ideal for exploring the Yorkshire Dales.
The house is described as comfortable and warm, with spacious rooms. However, a preference for larger beds and a comment on the placement of the family room suggest that while comfort is generally high, there is room for improvement.
Facilities are well-regarded, with a well-equipped kitchen and a secure garden. There is a mention of a faulty digilock, indicating a minor issue with maintenance.

Bank was amazing inside ,I am a gardener and ime sorry to say the back garden was below standard weeds and dead plants in pots ,and blackcurrant which I cut out with scissors as my 3 year old pricked his hands on ,it was well situated for the falls and swimming pool and park , coop and bars nearby ,the cottage itself was cosy too cosy upstairs as towel rail radiators were on hot when heating wasn't on ,I think the family room is in wrong place as the stairs are very steep for a toddler ,would be better in downstairs double room if possible ,all told very clean very welcoming ,if the back garden had some care some bedding in pots and weeding it would have been more pleasant to sit out

Ingleton is a great little village with ample pubs and the cafe above the climbing shop does a great breakfast. The village parking was only a short walk and very reasonably priced and didnât charge overnight. The only thing with the property that needs repair is the digilock on the rear gate which requires adjusting, it could still be opened when in the locked position.
