Reviews
Lovely old cottage. Very clean & well equipped with tasteful furnishings and decor. Nice welcome bottle of wine. Great location for walking and exploring such a beautiful area. Walked to Semerwater from the front door, nice not to have to drive. Would highly recommend.
Just returned from a fantastic relaxing break at this immaculate cosy cottage. Cannot fault anything. It is located in a lovely picturesque village with parking available. It is very well equipped with everything you need and more. Extremely clean and comfortable throughout, will definitely return.
Absolutely loved stopping here. Stunning cottage in a beautiful location. I felt so at home here. The cottage was cosey and welcoming. Lovely park near by and so much to do. Would love to come back again.
Came for a family weekend in December, fantastic cosy cottage, everything you need to make your stay comfortable. Wood burning stove provided a warm welcome after a cold winter day in the dales. Rain Shower downstairs was great, nice to have the downstairs bathroom when potty training out little boy. Beds really comfortable and slept so well in the quite of the village. Location is in the village with the pub up the road, cafe is right across the road, but is closed until Easter unfortunately. Lovely play area on the green with a zip line! Great fun. Bottle of cava was a lovely touch. Will definitely be back. Thank you for a lovely stay
It was of a very high standard; the cottage was cosy and clean with good quality bedding, towels & crockery. Would recommend to others.
Old Dame School is a lovely house in a nice village. It was very clean and had everything we could ask for, from kitchen utensils and board games to firewood.
