About a mile walk into Austwick it self. A pretty village but nothing much going on there. The pub The Game Cock Inn Is a very friendly place both customers and staff alike. The food served there is good, however although my Sunday Roast was okay, I would probably go for something else next time.
The Cottage itself is immaculate. It certainly has had someone with good taste buying the accessories, towels etc. It has been furnished to a very high standard. Kitchen units, doors, everything has been done with taste. I would have no hesitation recommending this cottage, its beautiful. The centre seat of the settee is uncomfortable as some of the springs have broke, but maybe the owner isn't unaware of this. If I had seen them this morning I would have mentioned it as it just doesn't go with the rest.
We had two dogs with us and the owners have created a dog walk area which was great to walk them first thing in a morning. Having now stayed there I would say the only thing for me was the lack of a closed off garden. You were unable just to let them out as obviously there are other dogs, horses and riders and cars going back and forth and the area is dangerous for everyone. To have been able just to have opened the door and let them go in your own closed in garden would have been fantastic. It is, after all, a working farm. If you have an obedient dog, it may work for you. That is the only reason I have marked it down.
As most of the Yorkshire Dales some beautiful walking area's all either a short drive away or from your own doorstep.
I would more then likely recommend this immaculate cottage with its beautiful log fire.
