The welcome goodies (bread, cheese, milk, wine) were much appreciated and the owners are on hand and helpful. The cottage itself has a fascinating history and a few quirks that youâd expect from a property of its age. All in all a nice quiet spot for a week of outdoor activities.

It has been thoughtfully set up and the owners who live next door are available but not in any way intrusive. They quickly resolved a minor issue with the WiFi and everything else was perfect. All you need to do is turn up with your food and clothes and youâre ready to go. The location is very handy being just off the A65 with good access to lots of interesting walking destinations, the railway or places to potter and go on visits. The house itself also an interesting history in its own right and is worth staying in for that too. Fantastic!

Property was spotless throughout with everything I could possibly have needed for a comfortable stay. Honestly the most comfortable bed I've ever slept in, so much that I made a note of the mattress make before leaving! Huge thanks to the owners for such a lovely stay, I will definitely be back.
