Plenty of room for 5 of us. Had everything you could want and more. Spacious private courtyard at the back for sitting out. Itâs attached to owners property next door but no intrusions at all. Situated just down the lane from a lovely friendly pub and 40 mins from Harrogate.

We've had an absolutely wonderful stay at wheelhouse cottage. The owner was really friendly and welcoming and there was some milk waiting in the fridge when we arrived. There is everything you would need for your stay, and even some games and books in the living room too. Locally a Tesco and aldi are in easy reach and we found it a really useful base for exploring Yorkshire, using the park and ride to access york a couple of times too. I can't fault the cottage and would happily stay again. Thanks for a great visit.

We enjoyed a weekend stay and there was plenty of room. The hosts were friendly and we felt we could have asked for any help should we have needed to.
