Gina
The cottage was extremely clean, well decorated and very comfortable. Really nice to return to each evening. The farm has three friendly alpacas. Really lovely to walk down the lane every morning to see them and the lambs. The owners were really friendly and kind. There was a very thoughtful welcome basket and fresh eggs. The kitchen is well equipped with plently of cupboard space and an easy to use cooker. We visited York, Harrogate, Robin Hoods Bay and Malton, all easily reached by car. The beautiful Nunnington Hall (National Trust) is very nearby and definitely worth visiting. We definitely want to stay in Norah's Nook again.
