Superb location, fantastic host - Lesley was knowledgeable, friendly and extremely helpful. The room was spacious and spotlessly clean, plenty of car parking, brilliant shepherd breakfast including vegetarian options. Excellent location for walking the wall and the Pennine Way and equally for local walks! Drying room facility available.

From arrival until leaving, this place could not have been better. Warm and friendly greeting in a picturesque surrounding. A huge toy box for our little one to play with, plus an outdoor playground. The rooms are on a working farm, clean and comfortable. You can hire whole cottages too. The breakfast was impressive, great value for money. I would definitely stay again.
