The cottage was very clean and well equipped. Communication with the host was good. The fact we could get a bus from the door to both Beverley and York was a bonus. There was a great chinese restaurant over the road. The hot tub was amazing. We have not rated higher however because the mattress was very uncomfortable and we did not sleep well. The location of the cottage on a main road linking York and Hull meant it was very noisy at peak times as lots of heavy goods vehicles use the road.
