Lovely house in a perfect location.

Lovely house in a perfect location. Short walk into Hawes. A very comfortable house and both us and the dogs relaxed.Chippy and Indian takeaway both excellent.Only problem was the outside light not working assume the bulb was out made finding the lock in the dark a challenge.Have rebooked which is very unusual for us and the best reference I can give.
