We’ve just got back from a half term break in The Sheep Shed. The cottage had everything we needed, was warm and cosy and was the perfect base for exploring the area. Gill and Kev were lovely and made us feel very welcome. We will definitely be back to see the lambs in the future!

We had a lovely stay at the Sheep She'd. The weather was beautiful and so we visited York, Driffield, Bridlington and Scarborough, all easy to get to from the Sheep She'd. There's a lovely pub called the Star a 10 minutes walk away in the village and the food was excellent, so good we went twice. The accommodation was well appointed with everything you could need and the views were lovely across open fields. We especially appreciated the small enclosed area at the front as it meant we could leave the patio doors open without worrying about our dogs escaping. We would definitely go there again if we were looking for somewhere in the area.
