The cottage is immaculate with a few select pieces of interesting antique curios to make it homely. The kitchen has plenty of equipment for those that like to cook. As two friends on holiday we love that we each have an equal size bedroom with plenty of space. There is a lovely private garden and the driveway had plenty of room for two cars. The cottage is set in a lovely village overlooking the village pond and is located close to a number of popular tourist sites. We walked down to the local pub The Manor for a meal and were made very welcome. The meal was delicious. The correspondence from the cottage owner is really helpful and Sharon is just on the end of a phone if we had needed her. The milk and biscuits were also most welcome. We would certainly use this cottage again in the future.

The cottage was fantastic and had everything we required for a relaxing break. 30 mins from York and the same from the coast it allowed us to vary our days out and relax in the evenings watching a movie. Garden was lovely and also secure and the EV charger was very handy.
