Jane and Steve were amazing hosts, they were very attentive and checked in regularly to see if I needed anything - they also offered some great local suggestions on what to do in the area. The hut location is so tranquil and relaxing - the animals and the brook were great support in that. The area has lots of nice walks and pubs and also offers easy access to York and Whitby. The hut was amazing, everything I needed was available and the woodfire hot tub was amazing. ##### Christopher H.
