Lovely cottage, excellent location. Beds extremely comfortable. The owners left a very generous welcome package. There was also a very generous amount of firewood available for the log burner. The Black Bull pub in the village was amazing, we had Mothers Day lunch there and it was fantastic. The only negative for us was the late check in time, 4pm Read moreand the very early check out time of 9am. Hide

We had a wonderful stay. The cottage was lovely, situated in a peaceful and beautiful place. With lots of nice places to visit and great walks. Also the pubs nearby were great. Colleen and Andrew are wonderful hosts, who are willing to help you with your questions. We really recommend this cottage to rent and we will come back again.

This cottage is located in the picturesque village of Moulton. Ideally located for Richmond and other attractions just off A1(M). The Black Bull Inn is friendly and serves great food. A lovely welcome hamper left for us in the cottage.
