    We had a very comfortable stay in this beautiful cottage. Set in a beautiful part of Yorkshire with lovely views from back of the house. Linda the owner Couldn't do enough for us & was especially kind over an incident we had. We really enjoyed our stay here.

  • David

    It's a very welcoming cottage with a lovely owner. There was everything we needed in the cottage and a shop and pub only a few minutes walk away. The log burner is a brilliant addition and provided enough heat for the whole cottage. I will definitely be booking again if for no other reason than to go and see some of the characters in the local pub.

    There's nothing I can think of to improve a stay at this property. Hopefully I shall be returning to Olive Tree Cottage again in 2025.
