A warm and comfortable house, tastefully decorated for Christmas. Well equipped kitchen with plenty of cookware, crockery, utensils etc. for cooking a Christmas dinner for 5. A lovely surprise to find the table extended so plenty of room to accommodate the Boxing Day buffet! Leyburn is a lovely little town with a range of independent retailers, cafe, bakery, pubs etc. Bankside was the perfect place for us to visit family and be together for Christmas, enjoying a lovely walk along The Shawl on Boxing Day in Winter Sunshine.

Bankside is a lovely house /home wish we could have stayed for another week. Definitely a home from home. The only thing negative about it was the internet which kept going on and off which was a bit of a nuisance. Other than that it was perfect.We will be back.
