You'll find everything you need in the stylish kitchen, whether you're rustling up a snack or a main meal. The master bedroom is semi open-plan from the lounge and is beautifully designed to create the ideal space to unwind at the end of a busy day.

Outside you'll discover landscaped gardens and a decked terrace, which allow guests to enjoy the countryside views beyond. On site chic and unique converted wagon.

Lovely cottage with a nice view and wildlife. Very comfortable bed but the sofa is very low. Owners were very friendly and helpful especially as it was a last minute booking.

The Platform is a wonderful place to stay. The accommodation suited us really well and it is in a peaceful and picturesque location. We were very happy doing local walks and sampling local amenities. The owners are welcoming and friendly but respect privacy.

Would thoroughly recommend this accommodation. Ideally located within Yorkshire for exploring the dales, shop and pub within walking distance, the latter serving great food also! The Platform was well equipped, clean, and comfortable, not forgetting to mention the beautiful garden. The hosts were lovely, nothing was too much trouble.

Great property, only downside for us was lack of privacy with the garden space shared with the owners and other people on vacation. But setting stunning, and can't fault the cottage at all :-)
