Really great location shops pubs and take aways in walking distance. Great walks from your door step...Beds very comfortable but there are a lot of stairs in the property so if you are unsure on your feet this property is not for you.Cottage kitchen definitely needs more dishes if you are cooking in ..All in all a enjoyable week.

The cleanliness was totally unacceptable - windows covered in cobwebs, kettle disgusting, kitchen bin disgusting, bath mat disgusting. I have several photos to substantiate my comments if required.We will certainly not be returning or recommending it to anyone.

The property was clean and comfortable. Until you had to use the stairs absolutely awful so steep and narrow, had to hang on to rail and pull yourself up because of the steepness. Love leyburn. But not this property. So many stairs four into lounge. Another four to bedroom. Awful. Unless you’re young as a teenager, won’t go there again. Sorry. But I’ve still got a painful leg from falling first day.
