Guests say
Half Moon Cottage in York is a cosy and characterful property, appreciated for its comfortable furnishings and warm atmosphere. Guests enjoyed the convenient location for exploring Yorkshire, the thoughtful touches by the hosts, and the cottage's charm. Some minor issues with the garden and shower were noted, but overall, the experience was very positive, with many looking forward to returning.
The cottage is generally described as clean and tidy, with guests feeling at home. There was a single mention of an untidy garden and dog mess, which suggests room for improvement outdoors.
The location is highly praised for its proximity to York and other attractions, set in a beautiful village. The presence of a local pub adds to the appeal, although the lack of shops within walking distance is noted.
Guests found the cottage warm, cosy, and comfortable, with good wardrobe space and comfy beds. The living room with a wood burner was a highlight, although there were some comments about the shower's performance.
The cottage is well-equipped with a dishwasher, washing machine, and other amenities. However, there were several mentions of issues with the shower and suggestions for additional items like dishwashing tablets and wood for the fireplace.
While guests appreciated the thoughtful touches such as a welcome Prosecco and chocolates, there are not enough reviews mentioning gifts to guarantee their presence for future guests, and thus a score cannot be provided.

it is a nice cottage and we loved the open fire but there's a few things that could do with addresing, the bathroom needs sorting-bath end and side panels dont fit and the shower is so loud it's ridiculous. We couldn't use the garden as it was so untidy it wasn't welcoming and there was dogs mes on the lawn. with a little tlc it would be lovely
