We found Grange Cottage to be clean, warm and cosy and set in a beautiful location, the only negatives were a constant damp smell in the downstairs shower room and the clock/timer on the oven is malfunctioning and needs replacing.. There are many lovely walks you can explore right from the cottage, calling in for lunch in one of the local pubs, in fact we only used the car for one day to go for supplies.
The nearest shop in Buckden is very small with a very limited range of stores so if you intend to eat in you would be advised to bring some supplies with you, having said that, the nearest pub is only 5 minutes walk away and offers superb dining and good beer, prior booking is recommended especially at weekends.
This was our first visit to the Yorkshire Dales which more than exceeded our expectations, we look forward to returning in the future.
