There is a constant background ‘noise’ of lambs bleating, birds tweeting and pheasants calling, very relaxing. There’s even a very friendly pheasant who taps at the french windows for attention. There are abundant walks in the area and there’s nothing nicer than to do a long walk and then return to the cottage to sit in front of a blazing log fire with a glass of wine and a book. A very relaxing break and I’ve already booked again! ##### Heather S.

A lovely quiet location that was just a joy to be in. The cottage was very cosy and had plenty of space for our two children (6 and 2) to play in. They especially liked being able to feed the lambs at the end of the garden! If you are one of those people that must be connected to the internet all the time you'll have some difficulty as the wifi was not very strong and the mobile network (Three) was poor in this location. ##### Samuel This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jongil 11 Apr 2018 #### It was worthy of my the first item of our bucket list. It was worthy of my the first item of our bucket list. And the cottage was more than we had expected. The life in it was nothing more than the conformity to nature itself! ##### Jongil ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Crown Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-Crown-Hotel.h7994084.Hotel-Information) > > [Kings Head Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-Kings-Head-Hotel.h1383603.Hotel-Information) > > [The Durham Ox](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-The-Durham-Ox.h2275866.Hotel-Information) > > [Hollicarrs - Honeycomb Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-Hollicarrs-Honeycomb-Lodge.h45364920.Hotel-Information) > > [Brickfields Farm](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-Brickfields-Farm.h6120838.Hotel-Information) > > [University of York, James College - Campus Accommodation](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-University-Of-York.h30551433.Hotel-Information) > > [The Lime Tree Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-The-Lime-Tree-Inn.h57571579.Hotel-Information) > > [The George Hotel Easingwold](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-The-George-At-Easingwold.h4001926.Hotel-Information) > > [Lastingham Grange](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-Lastingham-Grange.h2798553.Hotel-Information) > > [Plum and Partridge Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-Plum-And-Partridge-Inn.h19143770.Hotel-Information) > > [Sandburn Hall Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-Sandburn-Hall-Hotel.h67360173.Hotel-Information) > > [The Fairfax Arms](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-The-Fairfax-Arms.h14699353.Hotel-Information) > > [The Feathers Hotel, Helmsley, North Yorkshire](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-The-Feathers-Hotel.h14889397.Hotel-Information) > > [Feversham Arms Hotel & Verbena Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-Feversham-Arms-Hotel-Verbena-Spa.h8107242.Hotel-Information) > > [Orchard Lodge, Exclusive Log Cabin, York riverside village 2m P+R, 4m city walls](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-Orchard-Lodge.h22195615.Hotel-Information) > > [Aldwark Manor Estate](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-Aldwark-Manor-Estate.h796069.Hotel-Information) > > [The Royal Oak Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-The-Royal-Oak-Inn.h6942092.Hotel-Information) > > [The Black Swan - The Inn Collection Group](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-The-Black-Swan-At-Helmsley.h22461.Hotel-Information) > > [The Crown Inn, Roecliffe](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-The-Crown-Inn.h31935976.Hotel-Information) > > [The Bay Horse Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-The-Bay-Horse-Inn.h17334089.Hotel-Information) > > [YHA Helmsley - Hostel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-YHA-Helmsley-Hostel.h12880411.Hotel-Information) > > [The Parsonage Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-The-Parsonage-Hotel-Spa.h554901.Hotel-Information) > > [Mercure York Fairfield Manor Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-Mercure-York-Fairfield-Manor-Hotel.h17905.Hotel-Information) > > [The Sidings](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-The-Sidings.h18157901.Hotel-Information) > > [Newburgh House Bed & Breakfast](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-Newburgh-House-Bed-Breakfast.h4329341.Hotel-Information) > > [The Forresters Arms Kilburn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-The-Forresters-Arms-Kilburn.h4190797.Hotel-Information) > > [Yorkway Motel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-Yorkway-Motel.h23470003.Hotel-Information) > > [Ye Olde Red Lion](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-Ye-Olde-Red-Lion.h9242958.Hotel-Information) > > [The Crown - Hutton le Hole](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-The-Crown.h39483554.Hotel-Information)
