    The cottage was cosy and clean. The only thing I would recommend is something putting down at the side for car’s to park as it was a nightmare on the grass verge. Over all we would defiantly recommend.

    It's well-equipped and had everything we needed and we particularly enjoyed the books and games and jigsaws. The fairy lights on the dining room ceiling are such a magical feature. There's plenty of hot water and the beds and sofas are comfy and we loved the quaint old fashioned furniture such as the pews in the dining room and having a cosy fire in the wood burner. The huge garden is enchanting and bursting with Nature! It was wonderful to see so many Red Admirals plus rabbits, pheasants and partridges and at night time hear the hooting owls. As we all live in a busy town centre area, the peacefulness was such a treat and so relaxing. The charming village is perfectly placed for the coast and many visitor attractions. We'd recommend 'The Deep', Burton Agnes Hall and the seal colony at Flamborough. We'd like to thank the owners for sharing their lovely cottage and thanks too for the tempting welcome tray. Much appreciated!

    The shower overflowed because the drain was not fit for purpose. Could not get the hob to work. Needs a complete refurbishment and then it would be a lovely cottage again.
