We had a fantastic week in this cottage, two adults, three teenagers and two dogs. We hardly left the property and spent days cozying up by the fire, watching tv and in the huge garden exercising the dogs.

Another very enjoyable stay, our 4th visit. We love the location and the house, so quiet and peaceful even with the working farm across the lane. Would be great if the extended paddock was also dog secure, but not really a criticism. Looking forward to next year.

Beautiful, comfortable house. Only 4 of us and 2 dogs, so very spacious for us.The dogs enjoyed the large, secure garden.Very generous welcome basket and thoughtful touches for the dogs (bowls, treats, blanket etc).Would definitely stay there again if we were visiting the Yorkshire Wolds.
