Great place for get together for 3 couples. Big dining room and en suite bedrooms in lovely location. Lots of walks from from door across York Moors. Lovely tea shop opposite. Parking limited to 2 cars but village car park nearby for 3rd car. Hot tub nice but across the muddy lawn which wasn’t ideal. Later check in and earlier check out than average - 4:30 and 9:30am

Lovely place to stay. Some beautiful walks on your doorstep and just a short drive to plenty of other interesting places. Parking on the driveway was a bit tight for a mid sized SUV type vehicle.
