A smashing little hide away cottage. If you want peace and quiet, this is the location.Cottage is comfy,wellprovisioned and spacious. Beds are sublime, best nights sleep in years.Dogs are in there element with loads of great walks from the doorstep.If your a mountain biker your on the edge of the Dalby Forest trails and bike centre with a great choice of cafes and routes.Handy for coast, with Scarborough, Whitby and Sandsend just down the road.Would have graded 5 star but needs a bit of tlc, floor grouting and doors painting.We loved it

This is a lovely holiday cottage. A few things now need updating. The iron was unusable as it was rusty. To be safe for dogs it could do with a closed off garden. Overall though it was lovely
