Guests that stayed at this property said

The majority of guests found the cottage to be clean and comfortable. However, a few reviews mentioned concerns with housekeeping standards, such as dust and cobwebs, which slightly lowers the score.

The location is consistently praised for its tranquility, beautiful views, and convenience for visiting local towns and attractions, making it an ideal base for exploring North Yorkshire.

Guests generally found the cottage to be cosy and comfortable, with special mentions of the comfortable beds. Some guests, however, had preferences for different mattress firmness, which is subjective.

The cottage is well-equipped with modern amenities and facilities suitable for families and those with disabilities. A few guests mentioned issues with specific facilities, such as the wet room flooring and bedroom storage, which impacts the score.

Many guests felt well-cared for by the hosts, mentioning the provision of supplies and a welcoming note. While gifts like flowers and wine were appreciated, they are personal touches that may not be consistently provided to all guests.

About this property

In the hilltop village of Borrowby, there sits a working farm where this property, Apple Tree Cottage rests opposite the owner's home, in this delightful part of Yorkshire. Ideally suited for a family or a couple, this property boasts bright and refreshing decor, while from the outside keeping its farmhouse country charm. An open-plan living space invites you into the property, with the sitting area having two large plush sofas facing a TV for when a quiet evening of home entertainment is on the cards. Across the way is the dining table which sits next to the windows that will pour in the last natural light of the evening just as you sit down to eat. You can cook those delicious meals in the spacious contemporary kitchen, complete with integrated electric oven, overlooking the rest of the room, so you can be the chef and still be involved in the conversation! One of the property's best features would have to be the ground-floor wet room, which is fantastic for those less able as it has a wall-fixed shower seat, and a separate bath, with another door which joins onto the delightful ground-floor twin room. Head up the stairs and be further impressed by the vast master bedroom; four velux windows light up the room with sunshine and bounce off the sloping ceilings, with your own flatscreen TV up there as well for those lazy Sunday mornings in bed. The adjoining en-suite bathroom is a real treat, where you can sink into the free-standing bath tub to soak in peace, or use the separate walk-in shower if time is of the essence, the choice is yours! You will really appreciate the large lawned area outside in the summer, perfect for keeping the kids entertained outside, while you can sip a nice cold drink on the garden table and chairs. Being between the two national parks of the Yorkshire Dales and North York Moors, you won't have an excuse not to visit these spectacularly vast landscapes, with the option of exploring the terrain on foot, bicycle or even horse-back. For a great day out you can head over to Thirsk Racecourse, with fun not just for the adults, they hold fantastic family days with entertainment for the kids as well, so put your bets on! Retreat to Apple Tree Cottage to soak up the countryside and working farm life, while enjoying all that Yorkshire has to offer.

    ...clean and comfortable made it a great base for a very relaxing stay. We have had some cleanliness issues with our last 2 properties and this absolutely proves that good housekeeping and cleanliness is the key to being comfortable......you just can't feel properly relaxed and settled if you have doubts about the cleanliness of your accommodation. Many thanks to Neil and Louisa.
