Confirmed Guest
Great cottage. Very well equipped and comfortable. Local shop across the road is handy and very friendly. The cottage kitchen was very well stocked with good quality equipment so you could cook properly. The welcome pack is very generous (milk, good quality tea and coffee, biscuits, bottle of fizz and dog treats). The garden is very secure and there is a nice view of sheriff Hutton castle from the rear of the cottage. Would definitely recommend this cottage. No faults at all.
