The area surrounding is also beautiful with views of Kisdon and Great Shunner Fell. Local villages such as Muker and Hawes offer good days out or things to do like the Wensleydale creamery and Dales countryside museum, just a short drive over the scenic Buttertubs Pass! We would recommend and look forward to revisiting!

Located on the Pennine Way and not far from the Coast to Coast with a wealth of other hills and dales to explore. The village is so picture postcard Dales village. I hardly used the self catering kitchen as the local villages all have pubs with good food and excellent beer. The landlord / owner was always around and always had time for a chat.

Town facilities are a fair distance away, although there is a small shop in Muker, the next village. The apartment was perfect for two, with comfortable seats in the living room and queen size comfortable bed. The proprietors were very welcoming and helpful, with wine, milk, and biscuits provided on arrival. Donât rely on eating in their restaurant, though. You may be able to sometimes, but they are not open every evening. The bar is available downstairs. So we mostly cooked in the apartment. If the proprietor would like to make one small improvement, a shelf above the washbasin in the en suite would be useful.
