We didn't need to use the heating or log burner as it was warm when we stayed, but hot water was plentiful and initial logs were provided for the log burner. The only downsides were that neither of the sofas were particularly comfortable to sit on. Also there wasn't any information on recycling or putting out the waste/recycling bins or much local information provided i.e. local Doctors/Vets (this is always useful in case of an emergency) or on where to buy more logs, places to visit- always helpful. However these are minor negatives overall and we would definitely stay here again.

We were able to leave the cottage and take some lovely local walks especially by the river. Towns such as Settle & Skipton were also within easy driving reach. The fabulous enclosed garden was a hit with our dog and a weight off our minds. Would highly recommend.
