A beautiful comfortable cottage with everything you need. Great location to explore both the Yorkshire Dale's and the Lake District.The hosts were very friendly and made us feel very welcome. The ginger cake, fresh eggs and wild flowers were a lovely gesture.We have stayed in several holiday cottages and this one far exceeds any others we have used. We would certainly book again.
