The elegant kitchen has been beautifully prepared and features a ceramic hob, double oven, microwave, dishwasher, fridge/freezer, shaker-style cupboards, a sleek worktop and a handy breakfast bar. A washing machine, dryer and additional sink are housed in the utility/boot room. Exploring the cottage further there's an attractive dining room which is a perfect spot for sharing a family meal. Heading upstairs you will find two cosy bedrooms: there's an inviting master bedroom with a king-size bed, TV and an en-suite shower room with WC. There's also a twin bedroom with TV.

Would absolutely recommend this cottage. Very well appointed, super comfortable and spotlessly clean ... all that and a great hot tub too! Location was excellent as well. Only wished we could have stayed longer.

This cottage is a gem. From the moment we arrived you felt the stress and strains of hectic life disappear. The views are simply stunning. Sitting outside with a morning coffee or an evening beer and listening to birdsong, watching rabbits hopping around and being visited by the odd duck or two, was bliss. Inside the cottage is warm, welcoming, cleRead morean and extremely comfortable. Relaxing in the private hot tub at the end of the day was heavenly. Fantastically situated to enjoy Nidderdale. Hide

Absolutely breathtaking views, close to town and beautiful walking paths out the door. The home was perfect. Clean, plenty of space for the 4 of us, a well equipped kitchen for cooking with all pots, pans, etc owners were accessible if needed but didnt need a single thing. It was lovely.

An attractively-furnished, comfortable and well-equipped cottage, which is ideally-placed for exploring the Yorkshire Dales but still feels away from it all. One of the nicest places we've stayed in many years of self-catering holidays. Friendly, helpful owner and a lovely welcome pack too - many thanks.

Loved our recent stay here. Such a lovely location and we enjoyed the daily morning visits of the bunnies and ducks. The kitchen is so well equipped with everything you could possibly need which was brilliant. Comfy, clean and tidy. Unfortunately, the weather didn't allow for too much star gazing or bbqing but we did enjoy the evening hot tub afterRead more a day exploring the Yorkshire sights. The outside area is lovely with its festive lighting. Nice garden to sit in and listen to the trickling stream Hide

A wonderful cottage, in an excellent location. We have returned 3 times to this favourite place to escape and relax. The property is fully equipped and there are lovely views, which can even be enjoyed from the hot tube! We will definitely return again.

We had a fantastic time in this cottage especially the hot tub & the welcome basket was a very nice touch. The host visited soon after we arrived and welcomed us to the the cottage and gave some insights on where to eat locally. The cottage was very clean and modern and felt homely from the very first night. The location was amazing and we sat out Read moremost nights just watching rabbits and ducks in the surrounding area.
