The secure parking was a real plus and indeed the welcome basket of treats were a lovely and thoughtful touch. Explorers Rest is certainly a 5 star property and we would most certainly return to enjoy a beautiful part of the country with the Yorkshire moors only a short drive away with many locations on the doorstep.

The walls must be well insulated as we couldn't hear anything from neighbouring flats. Thoroughly recommended!
