Cottage was so comfotable and spacious. Well stocked with all we needed. Middleham is a lovely village with good pubs and places to eat and so central for visiting places of interest in the are. Would definitly visit again.

Been visiting for over 30 years and definitely one of the comfiest houses we have stayed in. It also had the added bonus of a lovely garden where we managed to catch some late summer sun. Five of us stayed there very comfortably, wouldn't hesitate to return.
Deborah
She was very helpful when I asked for recommendations of where to eat. The house was spacious enough for the four of us and has a lovely garden. We were lucky with the hot weather in September and could sit outside until the sun went down. The house was very clean and well equipped. It is in a great location in the centre of Middleham, close to pubs and a restaurant. The food at The Tack Room, a couple of minutes walk away, is excellent! Highly recommended. Prospect House is a great base for walking in the Dales.
