This was our 2nd visit to Foal Barn Cottages, staying at the Smithy.
This was our 2nd visit to Foal Barn Cottages, staying at the Smithy... We had another amazing week 22/07 - 29/07. Both Leigh and Sue are friendly and more than helpful. Plenty of walks and we can recommend Middleham Castle, Castle Bolton, Richmond Castle and try a visit to Staithes.We will definitely be visiting again. Darren & LeoneWest Coast of Scotland.
