Very cute little cottage - all you could wish for, clean and tidy with a fab mezzanine floor which had games and books galore (very handy when you've forgotten to pack such items). Our only gripe was the brown, leather armchair which no one could get comfortable in! Minor complaint but this is the reason for dropping a star under 'comfort & equipment'. Overall, would definitely recommend this abode for a few days away :)

We had a fantastic break, it's a beautiful appointed cottage situated in a very tranquil, rural setting. Just what we were after. It had everything we could wish for and the welcome pack of fresh cakes wine and chocolates was a great surprise and most welcome.

A lovely barn conversation in a very quiet village. Good location for visiting York and the coastal town like Scarborough.Very good pub in the nearby village a little too far to walk but the food was good. Our host helped with a small problem we had so we were very happy that she was close to hand to sort are issue out. It’s a lovely part of world worth a visit.
