I had a lovely holiday at Blue Buttons Cottage. It was very comfortable, clean and well provisioned with everything I needed. Being on the outskirts of Skipton where you can get anything else you need it was also very convenient for accessing many places in the Yorkshire Dales where I did a lot of nice walks. The owners were nearby and very helpful if needed, but not intrusive.
