A fantastic get away from it all.Waking up every morning to the sounds of the sheep & lambs bleating in the distance with the bees buzzing among the garden flowers with the birdsong and the magnificent views across Swaledale was absolutely idyllic.The cottage is very welcoming with homely decoration. The hosts have provided lots of information about things to do in the Dales as well as lots of information about walking routes. We didn't need to venture far from the peace & quiet of Rubbing House to enjoy further great views and enjoyable walks.Happily, all of the cooing utensils are absolutely spotless, a detail which is sometimes missing from holiday cottages. I hope we left everything as clean as we found it!The house, garden and parking are accessed through very sturdy and easy-to-use gates, so no livestock will invade the garden, although we did see a friendly bovine looking curiously over the wall once or twice!Would not hesitate to book again should the opportunity arise.
