Nice welcome basket provided and even treats for the dog. Would definitely come back in the warmer months to explore the walking area more with the dog.

It's an imposing Victorian property which has been renovated to a high standard and is in a superb location. It's just a short walk from the village of Goathland with its lovely tearooms, it has views of the North Yorkshire Moors and easy access to countryside walks, and the wonderful NYMR steam railway runs nearby. The house, which adjoins the owners' home, is spacious, clean and well appointed throughout. A huge highlight for us though, was the beautiful, large garden which surrounds the property, and was a pleasure to wander or to just sit and enjoy, especially as we had such fantastic weather during our stay. Our dog loved roaming and playing in it each day (and the owners' delightful dog Ava was a bonus playmate). We would love to return.
