Just loved staying here. A truly beautiful house. Felt at home right away. Great fires and lovely Aga. The area is great and only minutes out of Skipton.
Very comfortable property with lots of lovely features. Well furnished and excellent beds. Hosts live a short distance away on the same property and are delightful. Various animals to be seen on the farm. Lovely welcome pack on arrival. Good WiFi. Easy to get to a range of landmarks and activities in the surrounding area. Excellent meals at The Bull (pub) 10 mins away, Skipton has shopping and lots of other eateries 20 mins away. Would recommend for anyone wanting a relaxed, bucolic Yorkshire experience. Would stay there again. Thanks Nancy and Brendan!
