Good local information provided. Just a 5 min walk into Oxenhope for supermarket. Well sited for holiday. We went NE for NT's East Riddlesden Hall and Cow & Calf on Ilkley Moor, Also Salt's Mill & Saltaire and Shipley Glen. Then, twice more locally NW to Top Withins & Haworth Museum. Then a couple of trips S to Hebden Bridge, Heptonstall, Hardcastle Crags areas. We'd travelled in from the Midlands, visiting the Yorkshire Sculpture Park and the National Mining Museum on our journeys. So we found Yate Cottage an excellent place to stay.

Everything thought of. One helpful addition would be a clock and renew the batteries in the torch.
