The views and local walks are stunning, and a fantastic central point to explore the Dales. The village is only a few minutes walk away with cafes, pubs, restaurants and shops. We re looking forward to our next visit.

A picture window in the living room revealed a glorious view of the River Wharfe just like a classical painting. Lovely, friendly people both in the owner and the people of the Dales and soul-inspiring countryside Barbara

Everything we needed was provided. The beds were comfortable even the sofa bed. The view from the lounge was stunning and you could sit there all day just watching the river flow by. It was nice to sit in the garden first thing in the morning with a cup of tea, listening to the birds. The steps down to the sitting area were a bit dodgy so care needs to be taken when going down to the garden. The parking was a bit tight but overall we had a fantastic stay and would be very happy to go back. Thank you for a lovely stay
