We just got some lovely feedback from recent guests and the comment above really stood out. We think the Yorkshire Dales is one of the happiest places to live and visit. For us living in the Dales is living the dream, and there’s really no excuse not to be happy and friendly! ❤️ We are surrounded by beautiful scenery wherever we go, even on a rainy day the views never disappoint! ❤️ Every breath we take is the freshest of fresh air. Fresh air is proven to improve blood pressure and heart rate, strengthen the immune system and help to digest food more effectively, which all leads to healthier and happier you. ❤️ Nature thrives everywhere, being surround by nature brings peaceful effects to people as it helps to reduce stress and anxiety. ❤️ We have loads of opportunity to exercise outside, from walking and running to cycling and swimming. Research has shown that exercising outside can improve your self-esteem and put you in a better mood! And if all that is not enough, we have fantastic food at farmers markets and most of the pubs, restaurants and cafes source their food locally. So, you can be sure to be eating wholesome food! Here is Ingrid and Jons message in full “Hi Hannah, we just want to let you know that we had a wonderful stay. The cottage was lovely and what a fantastic view and place to be. Everybody around was very friendly we went to a number of different places, had a great walks, and ate out once or twice. We look forward to coming back again at some point in the future, meantime wishing you a happy New Year, Ingrid and Jon” If you are in need of a Happy Holiday, take a look at our holiday
