A fantastic property - clean, tidy, welcoming and warm. It is so relaxing to sit and watch the view over the fields from the upstairs windows. Ideal location for exploring the coast and also York.

We had a brilliant break at Cartwheel Cottage. It was more spacious than we were expecting. Very comfortable and spotlessly clean. Very quiet location. Plenty of storage space for longer bookings. We'll definitely be making a return visit.
