The owners are very friendly and helpful. Two lovely pubs within walking distance. A great little shop just over the road. We will definitely be coming back.

The village itself is very pretty with a local shop just across the road from the cottage and a lovely local pub just down the road. The cottage is clean and well maintained with almost everything you could need - the only things we found lacking were some large glasses (we like to take large glasses of water to bed with us to drink throughout the night) and an indoor shower! It was a little awkward showering in the bathtub! Other than that, the kitchen is well equipped with everything you could need. The bedroom is cozy with a very comfortable bed and plenty of storage. We slept incredibly well during our stay. Dave came and introduced himself to us on arrival and explained a few things before reassuring us that if we needed anything he was only next door. Other than that, we were left to our own devices. There are plenty of places to explore within a reasonable driving distance. We visited Richmond (only a few miles away) and Whitby, which was well worth the drive. Although we didnât venture there on this visit, we have previously been to Barnard Castle, which is only a few miles away and definitely worth a visit if you havenât been before. We came for a weekend away for a quiet, relaxing weekend to get away from the daily grind and thatâs exactly what we got! The hot tub is great, especially with the outdoor TV to watch whilst chilling out.
