The mattress in main bedroom dipped and is probably in need of replacing. A hand rail in one shower would be of great benefit for those physically less able.

Only discrepancy in the listing is that the second double bedroom is a en suite shower room not a bathroom. So there is one en suite bathroom and two en suite shower rooms. This was fine for us though. Cottage is well furnished and maintained. It had everything we needed and was well situated to see a number of things. The welcome pack was appreciated. It was really quiet considering the proximity to the main road. The use of the garden was useful and was appreciated by the youngest members of the party. Would definitely book again.

The location was perfect to explore the dales, moors and coast. Such a peaceful place and we loved our visits from Boris the cat and the little hen. We would highly recommend Providence Cottage, thank you for a lovely stay xx
