Lovely 6 nights in Yorkshire countryside

Cozy cottage with all necessary facilities, and GREAT hosts who responded caringly to all requests. We are 70 year old "quite well travelled adventurers" and found delightful market towns, picnic spots.. and pubs in vicinity. The evening walk to the local was very pleasant, the food portions generous, and daily dishes enjoyable. Special thanks to our hosts who were very attentive to our arthiritic needs in climbing the 7 or 8 stairs when entering and leaving the cottage. Strongly recommended.

The little cottage was cute amd nice. Emma the host was very reachable and checked on us during our stay. The only issues we had was there were lady bird beetles and spiders everywhere. My husband woke up to one crawling on his face. There were also a lot of cobwebs. Which i do understand we are in the country but it seem that were still a lot of bugs. Overall it was a very nice place.

Comfortable and relaxing.

Little cottage with just the right size for two people. Not perfect, but it met our expectations. Fully equipped, peaceful, with many sights (country houses, abbeys, gardens, villages) within a 30-45 min's drive. Friendly and helpful hosts.

A very cosy and charming cottage with a pleasant and private outdoor space. It was very well equipped with everything required for a pleasant stay. It is also very well located for exploring the North Yorkshire area, with Harrogate and York within easy reach by car.

Lovely peaceful escape

Comfortable and well equipped home from home. Welcoming and communicative hosts and an excellent guide to the local area. The parking disc was a handy and thoughtful idea! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Cooked a few nights in, kitchen is fine and functional. The bath is large and lovely and the bed comfortable . One big comfy sofa with extra blankets would be an upgrade to the living room. Thank you! <3

Cosy and comfortable, great location

The cottage was ideal for our stay in Yorkshire. Great location ... nice and quiet in a pretty village with a lovely nature reserve and decent pub. Easy reach of the Dales, Ripon, York, Harrogate and Fountains Abbey. Easy check in with private parking. The windfall apples were a bonus! Warm and comfy, decent WiFi and TV that worked. We had a small problem with the toilet but Emma got it repaired swiftly and without a fuss. Would definitely stay again.
