What a lovely location for a holiday cottage. Waking up and looking out the window to the horses all around especially the new foal was fantastic! Cot and high chair provided at no extra cost which is rare and very much appreciated. So much space for a family of 4. Being able to walk to the train station and a 15 minute train to York was fab.Really felt welcomed and good communication from Tilly. Highly recommend
