By Vicky on 01-Oct-2025Hidden gem, suitable for short or long stay, all ammenities close Positive: Very nicely decorated, comfortable, hidden gem in a beautiful small village. Everything we needed was in the apartment for a much longer stay but we were only able to stay for four nights. Bed was very comfortable, nice big towels, lovely kitchen and bathroom. Nice view from our window over the river to sheep paddocks. We met the cleaner when checking in and she was lovely and helpful. Staff were also available online and were attentive. Little shop next door was a gem and the cafe across the road had lovely selection of heat up meals and served meals and coffee. A few options in town for dinner if you need it. Central to our day trips around the dales. Perfect! Negative: N/A
