The location is ideal with easy access to Richmond, Leyburn, and Reeth. The village is quiet with little traffic. The neighbouring pub serves great, typical pub food and everyone there is very friendly. The photos accurately show what the cottage is like. The living room is spacious and a generous amount of wood was provided for the wood-burning stove. The rear 'garden' is a very small gravel area with a low fence around it. The rear garden was sufficient for my dog, but might be too small for some. A photo online would be useful. The owner is helpful and responds very quickly to queries. I highly recommend this cottage.
