Beautiful views over the dales and sheep grazing outside window. Good walks from the cottage or travel into Harrogate or Ripon for a day out. Cottage was clean and tidy but does have low ceilings upstairs which didn't bother us. Anne the owner left a lovely welcome pack which was delicious. The sofa we found uncomfortable but bed was ok. WiFi was a bit intermittent at times but didn't matter to us. Pub literally across the road for a sneaky pint or meal. Very quite at night, no noise except an occasional sheep. We would definitely return and recommend this cottage.

My dog and I were warmly welcomed by Anne and the 'Welcome pack' was really appreciated; delicious eggs from the hens. I'd packed a 10 metre lead which was the perfect length for keeping my dog within the garden (the chicken enclosure being 10 metres from the door, on the other side of a low wall.). A bonus was the quiz night at the local pub! We made frequent visits to the nearby G&T's ice cream parlour which even does a doggy ice cream. I'd definitely recommend this cottage and wouldn't hesitate to stay again.

Great location (close to the very lovely Ripon) with everything we needed for a couple of nights stay. We read the comments about the sofa but we found it very comfortable. The welcome pack was very much appreciated, the eggs in particular were delicious,
