A compact vacation apartment for 3, maybe 4, with smaller children. On the outside, a cottage with a historic look; on the inside, modernly furnished. A kitchen with top-notch equipment, as is the bathroom. Lots of helpful excursion tips in a folder and online. There are no pubs in the village itself, but there are some just a few miles away. You need a car.

Very quiet spot, the village has no shop, pub or anything! Leyburn is very close, so all facilities are closely available. Neighbours exceptionally friendly. The property was delightful and fitted our needs perfectly. We had the foresight to take a fan with us and it was very necessary!

A great located cottage in a pretty village with engaged and friendly neighbors. With Leyburn nearby, all the stores you need are close by. The place fully meets the quality that the photos convey, and we enjoyed staying here for 2 weeks. The front door and terrace face south, so it is pleasant to linger on the terrace when the sun is out. Everything was super clean and smelled fresh, and all the equipment works properly. There were plenty of towels, and upon arrival we felt immediately welcome. We will definitely come back here again

The house is gorgeous. With lots of nice touches ( very nice curtains!) , everything you need on arrival like coffee, milk, cooking oil and biscuits. My son enjoyed chilling out in the games room. Thank you.
