The bottle of wine and the milk was a nice touch. The house was as described, warm and very well equipped. Parking was not a concern, with one space at the front and others on Main Street, which despite its name, is actually quiet. The A65 runs alongside the back of the house and traffic noise could be heard in the twin and bunk bed rooms - earplugs solved the problem (I bought my own, but I now know why thereâs a set of disposable ones in the bedside drawer !). Plenty of crockery, glasses and cutlery and a good dishwasher. It was a great base for walking the Peaks, with a variety of places to eat back in Ingleton , all within walking distance.
