A lovely holiday cottage in a quiet rural location. The cottage was very clean, comfortable and well equipped with everything you could need. The only thing to note is that there are no local shops, but Thirsk is only a few miles away. The local pub, which serves food, is just a couple of miles down the road. Overall a very nice place to stay. Thanks.
