A wonderful place to stay, the house is beautiful and Knaresborough is interesting. The only drawback was that it took a few days to get the hang of using the Aga.

The cottage was beautiful, very comfortable and had everything we needed for our stay. The Aga took a bit of getting used to but we managed it. Would be lovely to visit in the summer when we would be able to use the garden. Rachel was lovely, responsive & helpful
