A very good spacious cottage in a great local and central location for the Yorkshire Dales. Plenty of excellent walks form the door or not too far to travel further in the Dales.

We have stayed at Thornsgill Cottage many times and our stay is never long enough.

I have been a repeat visitor to the gorgeous Thornsgill Cottage. The log burner makes it cosy in winter, just perfect for retreating to a comfy sofa with a large glass of wine after a long walk in the hills. It has everything you need if you want to cook but frankly it would be a shame to miss out on the wonderful local pubs which are only a hop, sRead morekip and a jump away. Its also been brilliant to be able to bring my dog to the cottage - the only downside to this is you then have absolutely no excuse not get get up and get out onto the hills - a hard prospect to contemplate when tucked up all snug in one of the extremely comfortable beds.

A deep clean is needed, alot of high level dust, alot of dog hairs on carpet and soft furnishings. On arrival we couldn't access the property as it had been bolted from the inside, after a long journey there we had to wait around, make phonecalls and wait for someone to get us in and when you have a child with autism and ADHD, it was a nightmare
