This is a spacious property in the middle of farmland miles from amenities so if that is what you want then this is one place to stay. We found over our weeks stay plenty of places to visit and have lunch within 30 minutes drive. The house and garden were great for our dogs with walks along the private roads and the banks of the River Hull. Games room a bonus. One negative was very low and uncomfortable sofas.

Fab week with the our family of 12. Beautiful house and location, very rural and quiet. Nice to have the use of a hot tub, kids loved it! A couple of things that would have been useful were an airfyer, plastic plates and bowls(for kids) and a washing line as the clothes aira wasn't enough for all the wet towels. Other than that, the house was very well equipped and comfortable. Definitely will miss the view and the tranquility of the place, very calming and peaceful.
