Warm, spacious and very comfortable, there is plenty of room in this single-storey property.

The kitchen has everything you need to start the day with a hearty breakfast, or to cook a delightful evening meal, but with the local pub serving excellent food just 5 minutes’ walk from the cottage, you could be tempted away very easily.

A garden to the side of the property enjoys the woodland flora and fauna, overlooking a wild meadow home to the owner’s friendly pigs. Just past the cottage is an open camping field, belonging to the estate, but you are more than welcome to bring a picnic blanket and grab a spot and enjoy the evening with a bottle and nibbles, watching the amazing sunsets over the Pennine Hills.

Review Score: 8

Summary: An attractive and very well presented cottage, very clean and pristine in its decoration. It had everything I needed for a short stay. The only down sides were the sound of the nearby A66 which never seemed to let up, even at night, but this was something the owners couldn't help! It would also have been good to have black-out blinds in the bedroom, because security lights were on all night and made the room too bright for my taste. The owners were friendly, there was a welcome pack, and it was lovely to meet their collie and see the chickens running around outside the door!
