    The property has been beautifully renovated & furnished & is an ideal place for visiting places like Skipton, Haworth & Ilkley with the coast being around an hours drive away. Laura, the owner, is fantastic - nothing is too much trouble & she is very knowledgeable with regard to the local area & beyond. (Must give a mention to Woody!!) Really can't recommend this place highly enough!
