A well equipped, lovely cottage that was well located with local amenities within walking distance and a bus service into York. It was a good base for visiting other nearby attractions it was nice having a (choice of) local pub(s) to walk to.

This is a lovely property which is well equipped for a self catering stay. The welcome pack was amazing and much appreciated. Whilst the on street parking was sometimes difficult we did usually manage to find a place. The yard at the back is very secure and our little dog loved it.There is a supermarket 4 minutes walk away and regular buses into the centre of York.
