It was very comfortable and very well equipped with everything we needed. It's location was excellent, and given the proximity of the main road was extremely quiet. There were some very small areas which were showing signs of wear and tear but overall an excellent holiday.

Nice and quiet despite being so conveniently near the ring road. Would definitely stay again.

The beds and sofas were comfortable and the kitchen was easy to work in. It is well situated to walk across the fields to Rufforth, and also to get to Acomb, and thence to shops. The view across the field right outside the French door was very soothing, and the sunsets were beautiful.
