Having station next was a bonus with trains every half hour. Good pubs within walking distance for meals and a shop. Can’t find anything negative to say about property and location.

Wonderful holiday home, beautifully laid out and has everything you need for a relaxed stay. Very comfortable beds! Easy to get to York (just 12 minutes on the train and they are approx every half hour), but easy driving distance to lots of other amazing places too. Highly recommend.
