The cottage is consistently described as pristine, indicating a high level of cleanliness that guests appreciate.
The property's quiet rural area, with easy access to Harrogate and other local attractions, is highly valued by guests.
The super king size bed, cosy atmosphere, and quiet nights contribute to a comfortable stay, although a minor note was made about the brightness of bedside lights.
The cottage offers a range of facilities including a well-equipped kitchen, large TV, and ample parking. The lack of a freezer compartment in the fridge is noted, but a separate freezer is provided.
While guests have not mentioned specific gifts, the provision of milk upon arrival and the overall attention to guest comfort suggest a degree of thoughtfulness. However, as gifts are not explicitly referenced, this score is set to null.

The cottage was easy to find and has plenty of parking. It was clean, comfortable, warm and cozy, and was just right for a cold and wet November stay. It's perfect for a little getaway retreat. I enjoyed that it was sufficiently dark at night and very quiet as opposed to where I live. There are plenty of places to visit within easy reach, such as Brimham Rocks, Fountains Abbey or Bolton Abbey, or Ripon, Harrogate and York. I highly recommend it.
