A beautiful week that went way too fast, with the moon over Bolton Castle to keep us company.

Early walks and rivers to refresh the dogs and lots of delicious food and drink to refresh the hoomans. I mean just look at this kebab 👀🤪 from The George & Dragon, Hudswell, Richmond it was deeelicious!

A lovely treat during your stay!

Summer timetable begins this week 🍾🌞

Let us know if you have any queries?

We are trying to avoid the lengthy waits some villages had last year. 2025 caught us on the hop! Appreciate it maybe an inconvenience for some and we apologise but our rationale has been to improve the service we offer both our loyal regulars and all the lovely people who visit the .

Wishing you all well.

Ian, Eddie, Gary and team.

We have Swifts nesting in the box on the cottage! Our latest guests have been making the most of the bench and enjoyed the swooping Swifts and Swallows all around ❤️

Beautiful compact cottage, ideal for two to use as a base, clean and comfortable, and containing everything needed. In a small hamlet on the hillside without amenities which some people may not like, but we deliberately picked it for that reason!! Nearby pub within walking distance across the fields, shops a short drive away, and there is a welcoming tearoom the castle 100 yards away! Didn't use the car for several days as we just went on various walks from the doorstep, and sat out in front of the house enjoying the view across the dale, the peace, and watching swallows and swifts swooping around us, perfect!!!!!"
