Quiet and peaceful. So well equipped. Even had little extras like cling film, foil, salt and pepper. Good to have an empty cupboard in the kitchen to put our food in. Didn't realise until our last evening there, that the TV was a smart TV. Would recommend to family and friends.

Always very clean, tidy and well equipped, with nice essentials left by the owner to start you off. Warm on cooler days with the renter in control of the heating. Lovely quiet village, but close to all tourist attractions. Everything is supplied for a comfortable stay. Owners are next door if needed but not intrusive.

The cottage was clean, on a quiet housing estate and suited the two of us perfectly. Only a short drive into Skipton, if you're fitter than us you can walk there. One thing to note, if you prefer eating in the cottage, there's nearly 40 places that deliver food via the JustEat app.
