Had an amazing stay at the cottage. Set in beautiful countryside. Th cottage was cosy and warm, plenty of wood left for the fire and kitchen well equipped. The bed was comfy and there was little to no light pollution. Welcome text from James was really thoughtful and his suggestion for a drive and a pub stop was just perfect in the sunshine. Malham Cove definitely worth a visit and our Doberman loved his walk around Skipton Castle Woods with all the wild garlic.
