We absolutely loved this cottage and its quirky up and down steps, admittedly if you are mobility challenged it is not for you but for us it was perfect. Immaculately clean and even had hand wash, washing up liquid tea towel etc and dog bowls. I loved the location and the window seats to watch life go by and Leyburn is such a good village with 4 pubs in 10 seconds walking distance plus an Indian, Chinese, Co-Op, 2 bakeries and much more plus a village market on a Friday. We stayed at Middleham last year but much preferred this village and will definitely go back if not to live. The only feedback I would say that I don't think a dishwasher is necessary as we didn't use it once but maybe a washing machine would be a better replacement with the Dales being wet and muddy as I did hand wash the dogs coat after Aysgarth Falls. We are already planning our next visit-Blue Lion pub at East Whitton is definitely worth a visit but a bit pricey.
