Lovely quirky cottage, very quiet location (especially overnight, although faint hourly church clock can be heard if you listen hard!), well equipped and walks within walking distance (!).

Rooks cottage is a charming house to stay in and a good base to explore the wonderful Yorkshire countryside. Nice to be able to walk to the 3 pubs and also beautiful walks on the doorstep. The outside roof terrace was a lovely area to sit outside.
