) The really regular bus service to York / Selby which stops just outside the property was brilliant. And the cottage was equipped with loads of little extras, which we really appreciated. Thankyou!

The garden was more than big enough for our dog, Pepper and safe and secure. Situated in an ideal location to visit surrounding areas and York.
