My wife and I were visiting family in the area so did not do much sightseeing. The are is stunning though with lots of local walks. The owner leaves a lovely welcome pack of bread, milk and biscuits, there has always been a good supply of essentials like tea, coffee, sugar etc. Thanks for another wonderful stay

Every amenity is catered for and the property is cosy and warm. There is a spacious back garden too to enjoy if the weather allows. Embsay is a fabulous quiet village with 2 good pubs serving good food at realistic prices and the village shop sells the essentials.
