The cottage was beautiful and a lovely quiet location, which was exactly what we asked for when booking. The hot tub didn't work out for us unfortunately as we underestimated how long it would take to heat up each day, after we had been out all day visiting places of interest. The cottage interior was finished to the highest standard, a lovely baseRead more for a holiday. Hide

This cottage is beautifully decorated, well equipped, clean, with lovely soft furnishings & comfy beds. The location was quiet & fairly remote, right at the end of a long lane on a farm/estate, but a great base to explore the surroundings areas of Yorkshire. We used the wood fire hot tub once as it was quite time consuming to heat but our daughter Read moreenjoyed it. The only minor negative was the patchy WiFi, which affected us watching films of an evening. Overall we had a fabulous time here. Hide

Beautiful homely cottage. House was warm and comfortable. Bed and pillows were just right. Hot tub needed a good 4-5 hours to heat every day (longer on cold, windy days), but the owners provided plenty of logs to cover the nights we stayed. Lovely walks nearby and easy drives to Hamsterly Forest, Agarth falls and Bolton castle. We loved our stay.
