Loved this 5 star cottage with high class decor and furnishings. The master bedroom and bathroom was very sumptuous and the little extras have a feel of a 5 star hotel room. Location was superb and outside space would be delightful in good weather.

Delightful location and the characterful property renovated to high standard. Bedrooms, bathrooms fantastic but the combined cooking, eating, relaxation room would be a tight squeeze for 4 people. Walkers beware - no space to hang up and dry wet clothing! Also it is a shame the outside dining table/chairs have been left in the open are badly discolRead moreoured with watermarks and mould. Also bin cupboard positively unsanitary. That said we were cosy and comfortable inside and had an enjoyable break Hide

A very comfortable and luxurious experience in this cottage. It was extremely relaxing in this quiet location. A very generous welcome pack was provided and thoroughly enjoyed. The weather was wild and wet for much of our stay, but the cottage was a cosy retreat. We would love to return.

The cottage has been upgraded to a very high specification. They have spared no cost in the fixtures and fittings particularly in the bedrooms and bathrooms.

A stunning property in a peaceful location. The bedrooms, bathrooms and garden are amazing although the open plan living space is a little small which made food prep awkward. You also feel like you're sitting in the kitchen so not very cosy. Easy to find, good access and plenty to do locally.

Beautifully maintained cottage with great outside space including the former platform. Well equipped with some original features still in place. Well placed for walking, some trails from the property and for local towns such as Leyburn Hawes and Masham. Peaceful rural location. Local pub a short drive away.
