Guests describe the cottage as cosy and comfortable, with a warm and homely feel. However, several reviews mention that the mattresses are old and uncomfortable, suggesting that comfort could be enhanced with an upgrade.
While guests are generally satisfied with the facilities, there are mixed comments regarding maintenance issues such as the log burner and toilet brush. Due to the lack of consistent detail across reviews, it is not possible to provide a definitive score for facilities and maintenance.

This is a lovely property which is well equipped for a self catering stay. The welcome pack was amazing and much appreciated. Whilst the on street parking was sometimes difficult we did usually manage to find a place. The yard at the back is very secure and our little dog loved it.There is a supermarket 4 minutes walk away and regular buses into the centre of York.
