Stayed during a heat wave and because it's a listed building there are no windows for ventilation at night only 3 doors. The outside seating area is shared and not private. Cleanliness could have been better and the shower flooded all the time.

Perfect location for reaching all parts of Yorkshire. The bed was uncomfortable, the mattress needed turning as there was a pit in the middle.

We really enjoyed our stay at Owl Cottage, it was clean and comfy. Beautiful location with gorgeous scenery around but quite far away from things. Lovely 45 min walk to the nearest pub. We felt some items in the kitchen could do with an upgrade (kettle, crockery etc.) and the bedroom was very bright in the mornings, but wasn't an issue because we hRead moread eye masks. Hosts were very helpful and made us feel comfortable. Hide
