All very comfortable and well thought out. Nice walks via nearby footpaths direct from the cottage There are other cottages in the complex so not totally isolated.

Super accommodation - furnishings, equipment, etc - in a great location if youre either looking for a base or a quiet spot just to get away from it all. Let down, though, by lack of any hot water during our 3-night stay (owner informed but nothing done before we left)

On arrival it was easy to find the key safe. On opening the door it was lovely to feel the warmth from the under floor heating. We found the cottage very well equipped, there was everything that we needed. The beds and bedding were comfy. The shower exceeded our expectations! On the whole a great place to stay. It was easy to get to the surrounRead moreding towns. Bedale was lovely, we ate at The Green Dragon and used the coffee houses. Hide

The cottage was perfect in every sense that we expected and from previous reviews. The bag of logs, kindling, matches etc were most welcome. If I were to go again I would take one of those fans that sits on top of the fire to push out the heat from the fire or maybe the cottage could provide one for future reference?
