Great house in the Yorkshire Dales
We really enjoyed this beautiful house, great location, amazing views, friendly owners and dog friendly. Lots of long walks available from right outside of the door, and chickens, pigs, sheep and cows are nearby. And you can order delicious food too! I hope we can visit again.

Excellent base for the Dales
We had a very pleasant stay here. The property is very well maintained, clean, has modern facilities, and is a good size for a family of four. Steve was very welcoming and the farm had plenty of animals with feeding opportunities. The converted barn is well located in the heart of Wensleydale, so is a great base for visiting the surrounding dales. Can definitely recommend it.

Scenic and quiet
The cottage was comfortable and well appointed, in a quiet location on a farm with lovely views - about 10 mins from Hawes. A plus was the possibility of ordering home cooked meals from the farm - which we did for our arrival eve and eve before departure. Also farm produce available to buy. The owners were welcoming, friendly and not intrusive. On arrival there were home cooked brownies on the table and wine in the fridge. Much appreciated. We would not hesitate to recommend.
