Guests that stayed at this property said
Most guests found the cottage to be clean and well-presented, though there were a few mentions of issues with shower cleanliness and freshness of bedding, which slightly affected the overall perception.
The location is highly regarded, with guests enjoying the quiet, friendly village setting and the convenience of a nearby pub. Its proximity to Northallerton and other attractions in North Yorkshire is also appreciated.
The majority of guests found the cottage comfortable and cosy, with a few comments about the quality of the sofa and mattress. The presence of a woodburning stove added to the comfort for many.
Facilities are generally good, with a secure garden and a well-equipped kitchen. However, some guests mentioned issues with the shower pressure and temperature, and a desire for clearer instructions for the wood burner and departure procedures.
Guests mentioned the lack of a welcome pack and some basic provisions upon arrival, which would have been appreciated. While some guests received plenty of logs for the stove, the inconsistency in thoughtful touches has been noted.

It was very cosy, clean and comfortable and had everything we needed. A perfect base to explore the beautiful area. Had a trip to Richmond and enjoyed a walk along the riverside. Good food at the pub next door and staff were very friendly. Would definitely recommend the cottage to family and friends. Thank you

Comfortable beds and well equipped kitchen. Could do with some over-door hangers in small bedroom for clothes/towels. Food at pub next door is excellent (particularly takeaway fish and chips on our first night) and there was no disturbance from the pub whatsoever.

We had a great time and the cottage is lovely but the water is awful, smells and tastes stagnant so bought bottled water, other than that it was a nice place to stay
