Lovely short break

A lovely cottage located next to the owners house in a rural farmland location. Very quiet. The cottage is equipped with all the things you might need. The chocolate biscuits and a pint of milk on arrival was a lovely touch. We had a great stay with some fabulous dog walks nearby.

Peaceful escape

This is a very peaceful, relaxing cottage. It is attached to the owners’ house but they are very discreet and quiet yet on hand to answer any queries very quickly. It’s well equipped and surprisingly spacious. The views are beautiful. Birdwatchers are in for a treat! Although in the middle of the countryside it is near to lots of pretty villages and plenty of dog walks. I recommend it highly.

Quiet and comfortable Cottage in a beautiful location.

This cottage is finished to a high standard and is well equipped with everything you would ever need. If you take your dog with you, it has a fully enclosed outside area and an abundance of nearby walks. All the local pubs serve good food/meals and are a welcome change from the usual Gastro/chain type eateries. The owners will make you very welcome and make sure everything is in order, which it very much was. A really lovely/enjoyable stay at this cottage.

Lovely property

Nice little one bed property attached to the owners house. Owners there if you need them but not intrusive. Warm and cosy, very well kitted out with quality items. Nice touches like tea and biscuits on arrival, fresh flowers, kitchen roll, cling film and foil. Loved decent sized bath towels. Only negative was the shower was a bit weak but all in all excellent.

Beautiful cottage in peaceful setting

What a relaxing stay at this beautiful and spacious cottage. The cottage had all the provisions you needed and we loved the fresh flowers on the dining table. Paula notified us that we had forgotten our tin of tea bags and kindly sent it back to us by mail. We really enjoyed our stay & hope to visit again.

Lovely well presented cottage home from home.

The cottage was well situated for lots of day trips to Thrisk, North Allerton, The Dales and the Moors, as well as Whitby and Scarborough. Lots of brillant walks for the dog. The owners were very welcoming, allowed privacy, but were available if needed. Will return to this cottage
