The only shortcoming is only one bathroom. ##### Patrick Browning ### 8/10 Good #### Mark D., UK 17 Nov 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Lovely cottage and village Hidden away in a small valley, Rievaulx is a tiny village with old thatched cottages and a 900 year old abbey ruins. There's no noise, no light pollution, clean air and fantastic views...and not many people. What's not to like 🙂. The cottage is nice and cosy. A great base for lots of Yorkshire activities too. ##### Mark D.
