The village itself is at the heart of the walkers' paradise of Upper Wensleydale offering beautiful views of the Dales countryside that can be seen from almost every part of the village.

Mrs Robinson made us very welcome and is a good source of local knowledge. The cottage was really comfortable and had everything we needed. The local walks are lovely and nearby Castle Bolton adds some historical interest. Thanks again Mrs R.
