Brilliant little place, home from home, everything required was there and really good information on hand, shame about the weather but that didn’t stop us getting out and about, some nice pubs within walking distance, a visit to fountains abbey is a must. Very nice touch with the welcoming gifts they all came in handy! Will hopefully return in the future and will definitely recommend.
