As I sit out on the terrace and gaze up at the Dales one last time, it's with heavy reluctance we have to pack up and head home. What can you say but 'idyllic'. Thank you Diane & Andrew. Yorkshire's Gem.
Returning Guests from Warwick, Warwickshire - May 2018

I don't know how we've managed to leave it so late to discover this lovely area. The cottage has been a treat to come back to after a day out. Thank you so much for your attention to detail and all your help. Yorkshire Trike Tours was a highlight among many memories.
Guests from Teignmouth, Devon - May 2018

Had a lovely relaxing time in this most comfortable cottage. Enjoyed finding Hardraw Force and its coffee shop - for a great lunch. Also Black Sheep Brewery Tour & Cafe made an enjoyable excursion, ad did NT Fountains Abbey nr Ripon. Batteries recharged! Thank you!
Guests from Gloucester. - April 2018

Terrific cottage in a beautiful location. Thank you Di and Andrew. I'd say we will be back, but I think it will be difficult with all the previous guests rebooking!. But we'll try!
Guests from Liverpool - April 2018

What a beautiful cottage in a lovely location and wonderful hosts. Enjoyed the walking and spectacular views over the dales. Thank again to Diane & Andrew - we hope to return soon!
Guests from Pontefract, West Yorkshire - April 2018

A lovely, well equipped cottage in a really quiet spot. We can only agree with previous guests' comments on the standard of the accommodation and the lovely hosts. The falls at West Burton are worth the walk, but if it's been wet, we'd recommend very sturdy boots and gaiters! Leyburn & Thirsk worth a visit. Would love to return in warmer weather. Thank you.

Again, we have had the most perfect stay for our 40th wedding anniversary. Thank you for everything to make our stay so gorgeous. Looking forward to next time xxxx.
