The cottage was very clean and well presented. All the equipment was good quality and there was everything we needed. The host was present and helpful in every way, but not intrusive. The cottage was warm and welcoming, with flowers and treats for us; much appreciated. The location allowed us to visit York easily and see parts of Yorkshire that we Read morewanted to explore; the moors, coast, other towns. Hide

Very large house with a modern interior everything you could need for a comfortable holiday with lovely quiet surroundings. Unfortunately the property is not dog friendly with lots of restrictions on where your dog can go and no secure outside space
