Fabulous cottage and one of the best we have ever stayed in. The fixtures and fittings are all 1st class, nicely matching and spotlessly clean. Pretty much everything has been thought of and provided to make it a real home from home. Cottage is nicely placed for walks round Buckden/Kettlewell and also Rubblehead/Horton.
