Louisa & Neil couldnât have been friendlier and more accommodating hosts before and during our stay. We were even treated to a bottle of bubbly and fresh roses on arrival! There is so much to do locally and an abundance of independently run shops and cafes which was great to see. The facilities in this cottage were spotless and we were sad to leave. However, we canât wait until we can come back and visit the likes of Whitby, York, Knaresborough and Boroughbridge again.

Amazing views- little bit noisy early on on firework night but you could see loads of displays from Northallerton and Thirsk. Rest of time just the cows for company! House lovely. Heated bathroom floor was a huge hit when showering and having a bath was a joy as we donât have one at home in our wet room! Large fridge and freezer and lots of cupboards for food too. Nothing we didnât like - will definitely be back!
