“Good place to be.”
The setting was perfect - in the country but near the lovely market town of Skipton, which had all you would need. Also the surrounding scenery was spectacular. We have lived in the area so it was lovely to be back. The owners, living next door, were grand people - nice and friendly. The bungalow was very clean, well-equipped and comfortable. Just one thing - not a big problem but if no-one mentions it, the owners will never know - the bed was a bit lumpy! The only other thing was the cleaners were too prompt - we said it was OK, but I can imagine some people might not like it. Apart from that it was brilliant.
