We can honestly say our stay at the wheelhouse was perfect. Our host Mike was amazing and kept us informed of local things happening as well as weather updates. The wheelhouse was well positioned to explore all that Yorkshire has to offer. We would 100% recommend this property whether it’s for a quiet vacation or one for exploration. It’s well equipped for children and dogs and we were sad to leave. Thanks to our host Mike
