The most wonderful 5 days. My great grandparents, grandparents and my mum were all born and raised at Ings cottage so i wanted to take the rest of the family to stay. Seven generations have now all been. We made many new memories that will last a life time. The cottage is very well equipped with everything a home would have. Beds were super comfortRead moreable and the views from the upstairs sittingroom/library were just stunning. The owners of Ings even had a cake sent to welcome my mum back. Hide

Our party of three generations had a lovely stay in this rustic cottage. Lots of space inside, well-equipped with a lovely large garden for the children to play. It's well off the beaten track, though only a couple of minutes in the car back to the A66. There are walks from the gate as a (very quiet) public footpath passes by.

We had a wonderful holiday at Inns - such an amazing location and a lovely house. The configuration suited our three generations very well as early rising youngsters were able to play upstairs without waking those downstairs! The garden was great for playing and the views were superb. Vert well equipped kitchen and comfortable beds and furniture.
