The property is ideally located for us. Very close to major roads but in a peaceful location. There is lovely walking close by, it’s an easy walk to Osmotherley where there are places to eat and there are lovely market towns like Northallerton and Stokesley within easy driving distance. The property is very comfortable and has everything we need. This is our third time at the property and we will be booking again.

A lovely house with beautiful decor and everything considered within the house to make your stay special . The village is small but for us the quietness was just what we wanted. The added spa tub was a treat after a days walking. Ideal location with walks from the house and easy drives to other attractions. Will book again if we are visiting this area.
