Wonderful Holiday stay

Very nice cottage in the Dales. Our 10 month old granddaughter did splendidly during our stay. Cottage was as advertised. Six adults and our baby granddaughter had a wonderful stay. Good location for driving all around Yorkshire. Convenient to all necessities. Fully equipped kitchen. Gorgeous gardens!
