Hosts were very friendly and accommodating and replied to our queries quickly prior to arriving. Beautiful garden which we could access fully with our dog. WiFi was poor and could benefit with boosting as the TV was constantly buffering. Apart from this minor detail, everything was perfect and as described

The cottage is comfortable, warm and well maintained with a lovely garden. Its position is perfect, close to Pickering, Kirkbymoorside and Helmsley but in a beautiful quiet village with a fabulous pub serving wonderful food. What more could you ask for?
