Absolutely fantastic little holiday cottage. We stayed with our 2 children and 1 infant and it was the perfect base for our holiday. Fantastic location, we crammed in so much. The cottage is very clean and comfortable with everything you could need. We absolutely loved it, thanks so much!

Spotlessly clean accommodation. Extremely comfortable beds and the kitchen is equipped with everything you could possibly need. Very generous welcome basket including a basket of Tassimo coffee pods. Val is extremely helpful with recommendations of places to eat and visit. Our second stay here and we will be returning

Fabulous place clean, comfortable beds, lovely kitchen well furnished with everything you need.Comfortable sofas & nice dining table & chairs, with a nice patio set for when sun shining. There is a lovely cafe on site, definitely recommend Sunday lunch but also does breakfast & lunches. It's a peaceful quiet place which is not far from many other pRead morelaces like Bedale, Harrogate, York etc, so if looking for great walks or off to Harrogate your fairly central & I would definitely recommend!
