A family week in the Dales

Lovely little cottage. Clean, warm, and well stocked with pretty much everything you would need to get a family through 5 days. Location is stunning and pretty remote so don't expect a shop close by and come prepared with your food basics. If you want a few days away from it all reading your book or walking locally its perfect. Netflix on the evening was a bit hit and miss but no big deal. We drove a little further afield to the Waterfall trail at Ingleton. An hour away but just beautiful and well worth the drive.

A fabulous away from it all location.

A fabulous away from it all location. Walks from the door. Great meal in the pub only a short walk away (CB inn). Cosy and comfortable cottage with everything we needed. Stunning views from windows. Ours was a December break and we had a lot of snow so didn’t venture out in the car but did plenty of long walks in the immediate area. Lovely log burner to return to.

We had a wonderful time, reading, walking and visiting the local pub, the market towns of Barnard Castle and Richmond, the castles and ruined abbeys. Just what we needed, and the good people of the Yorkshire Dales were great. Thank you. Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

We particularly appreciated the good quality kitchen equipment and the plentiful supply of good coat hangers! The wood burning stove looked a bit complicated so we didn't use it. The TV was also a bit complex but we got the hang of it. We've given the lowest rating to 'local amenities' because it's in the middle of nowhere but the CB Inn is recommended for a meal out. Just remember to take a torch because when you walk back it's absolutely pitch black. Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo
