The owners went over and above expectations, bringing cake and flowers. The cottage had everything we needed for a great short break away in the Dales.

Itâs a very clean and comfortable cottage finished to a very high standard in the middle of stunning countryside. Great walks from the doorstop and we were lucky enough to see the wild flower meadows. We had a lovely meal at the local hotel but would recommend booking ahead as they are very busy during the summer months. Thank you so much Doris for the lovely cake, a real treat.
