A lovely cottage in the Dales countryside away from all the bustle. Well equipped and clean the cottage was everything we wanted. Accessible for all parts of the Dales and Lakes if you want but for us it was the quiet Dales that made it. Lovely picturesque and quaint villages with walking and cycling in abundance. Hope to return in the future.
