On arrival a welcome pack of food, all local was soon consumed. The host was in touch with us to make the stay more comfortable, the log burner was used everyday to warm the cold evenings, very nice. The location was handy for all the main towns and moors villages. Plenty of local places to shop and eat. Would stay there again.

I was tempted to extend the stay, yet had commitments. Peaceful relaxing time, lots of places to visit nearby. The owner is generous with welcome food gifts. Considering the time is November, I did not sit out in the garden at the front and back, both seated arranged, I would like to return maybe spring time to do this. The neighbours are friendly and welcoming. Beggars bridge is practically a stone throw, scenic paths to venture. A lovely experience. Thank you

It was homely, warm and had everything you could possibly need. Beautifully furnished and stylishly decorated, it had a relaxing and comfortable atmosphere. The bed was extremely comfortable and we loved the comfy chair too. There was a cupboard on the landing which had extra bedding, just in case. The fire was great, we loved it and so did the dogs. We loved feeding and watching the birds in the front garden and we kept filling the feeder up. The kitchen was super and easy to cook in. There were lots of special touches like the welcome pack with eggs, cake, milk etc, the nuts to feed the birds and the toiletries in the bathroom. I would highly recommend.
