The location is appreciated for its tranquillity and convenience for exploring North Yorkshire, though not within walking distance to local amenities.

The cottage is comfortable for up to four people, but may be less so for larger groups, as the lounge seating is limited.

Facilities are generally good, with a well-set-up property and great WiFi. The hot tub is a highlight, though the strict rules and issues with water levels have affected guests' comfort.

The hosts provide a thoughtful welcome pack, which has been well received. However, it should be noted that such gifts are a kind gesture and may not be guaranteed for every stay.

    Excellent host, leving us home made biscuits, bread, jam and fresh fruit for our arrival. The house is part of the farm but is pieceful and tranquil nonetheless.

    This cottage is extremely clean (the cleanest we have ever been to) and would suite 4 people. There were 5 of us and only 4 can sit comfortably in the lounge.We booked this cottage because of the location but also because of the hot tub. We needed a relaxing holiday and felt the hot tub would aid this. There are many rules and expectations upon the use of the hot tub which is understandable in a way, but 1 hour with 5 people meant the hot tub water level dropped below the required level for which we were reprimanded and left us feeling very uncomfortable. We stuck to no more than 3 of us at a time, and only for the permitted 40 minutes.Other than this it was a very nice place to be but we are not used to such high expectations.
