The hayloft is ideally situated 2 miles from York, and 1 mile to park and ride. The cottage was clean, tidy and warm and had hot tub and sauna. Beautiful surroundings with outdoor seating. We enjoyed our 3 night stay and would use this property again. It would benefit from a shower or shower fitting in the upstairs bathroom and a manual containing info on WiFi pasword, heating instructions etc.
