Excellent stay in lovely walking area, would definitely recommend cottage . Lovely views in a nice quiet location. The only thing which would make it more welcoming is a couple of tea bags or coffee sachets and small jug milk on arrival, I know it's self-catering but if you have travelled a long distance,it would be nice to stick kettle on straight away rather than unpacking first. But that is only a minor fault 😊

Lovely little cottage. Clean, warm, and well stocked with pretty much everything you would need to get a family through 5 days. Location is stunning and pretty remote so don't expect a shop close by and come prepared with your food basics. If you want a few days away from it all reading your book or walking locally its perfect. Netflix on the evening was a bit hit and miss but no big deal. We drove a little further afield to the Waterfall trail at Ingleton. An hour away but just beautiful and well worth the drive.

A fabulous away from it all location. Walks from the door. Great meal in the pub only a short walk away (CB inn). Cosy and comfortable cottage with everything we needed. Stunning views from windows. Ours was a December break and we had a lot of snow so didn’t venture out in the car but did plenty of long walks in the immediate area. Lovely log burner to return to.
