Had a fantastic stay at York House - spotless,welcoming,close to local amenities,everything we expected and some. Excellent area for walking and exploring. All the local amenities are dog friendly and locals are very welcoming Would recommend York House and as there were only two of us felt that here was lots of space. A great touch was all the DVD’s ,books and games
