Wensleydale Guest Lodge Reviewed by Gill Lillie on 13 May 2010
Superb staff and accommodation. Spacious and well equipped rooms, attractive and spotless. Lovely owners and immediate response to emails. Only disadvantage was occasional barking from SPCA kennels over the road. However we would definitely stay there again.
