Heather the owner met us on our arrival and could not have been more helpful and pleasant in giving us local information The cottage was cosy and very clean and tidy and the beds could not have more comfortable and there were lots of drawers and hangers for our clothes while the kitchen was well equipped with modern appliances. The cottage is ideally situated for going to Skipton and exploring the Yorkshire Dales as well as walking along the canal and there are plenty of nearby places to eat.

Could do with a shelf in the shower for toiletries. This is me being picky! Overall the cottage was beautiful, beds were very comfortable. Pub just over the road, very friendly and food was very good. Would recommend cottage.
