We thoroughly enjoyed our week staying in the Bothy. It was very peaceful and relaxing. The accommodation is comfortable and has everything you need. The hosts are so friendly and welcoming. There are beautiful walks on the doorstep. The mosaic walk is definitely worth doing.

Amanda and Charles were very welcoming, the Bothy was clean and comfortable for our needs, very rural setting peaceful and quiet. We visited Knaresborough, Ripon and Castle Howard but there’s plenty of other interesting things to do and see in the area it just depends on preferences. We had a lovely four day break and will definitely come again.

Lovely quaint property, all that is needed for a short break. Very quiet and peaceful. The owner was very friendly and helpful over the phone, just a pity we were unable to meet due to holidays.
