    Great cottage, clean tidy with all you need. Hot Tub is amazing, friendly hosts and a great location.

  • Dan

    Overall, the accommodation was fantastic! We were greeted with fresh bread and homemade jam, cookies, and eggs from the farm chickens. The house was clean and consisted of everything you would need on a holiday, and the location was within a comfortable driving distance from main attractions. We had a lovely time!

  • Edwina

    Peace perfect peace ☺️The most beautiful homely cottage, with everything you could need. Greeted by lovely Helen who had left a basket of goodies incl homemade jam and shortbread! So good!!Short drive from Easingwold and other places to visit easy to reach. Spent the days having a mooch around the area and the evenings in the hot tub watching the many birds in the garden including house martins flitting in and out of their nests in the eves of the farmhouse. Pure blissVery lucky with the weather too.
