Lovely spacious stone cottage
Really enjoyed our week in Middleham, the village's location meant that most places were within easy reach. The cottage is situated just off the old market square, which has 4 hotels and pubs all serving good food. The cottage itself is well equipped and the wood burner kept it really warm. The area is a dog walkers paradise with many marked footpaths, although it is as well to keep them under firm control because of the livestock in the fields.
