A really beautiful comfortable cottage, extremely clean and everything you could possibly need.The beds were a stand out with plush new mattresses, we didn’t want to get out of bed, they were so lovely.Kitchen had everything you could need, plus a welcoming bottle of wine and two bottles of beer.The garden and enclosed field was very much appreciated by our two little dogs.The owner is a lovely lady and we knew we could contact her if any problems.Wi-Fi was good and the Tv was a good size and had all the apps on it.Bathroom had a low ceiling in places so watch your head if you’re 6ft, which we are.Overall, one of the best places we have stayed!!

We had an amazing week in this immaculate cottage!! Very dog friendly with the large garden and paddock and treats on arrival, and very people friendly with a welcome package and plenty of things like clingfilm, foil, washing capsules, cleaning supplies, lots of crockery, glasses and cups, pans etc. The local pub 2 minutes walk is open weds to Sunday and does EXCELLENT food and drink (if a little more expensive than a wetherspoons lol). The beds are the most comfortable we've ever slept in!. We used the cottage as a base to explore York, ryedale and pickering amongst other places and it was a lovely place to spend our evenings with 3 terraces. We will definitely return.
