    Had a great stay

  • Tracey

    We (sisters and dog) had a great relaxing time at Fern cottage , beautiful cottage , comfy bed and relaxing hot tub . Plenty of great walks near by and bus stop right out side so easy access to York Centre and cheaper than car parks . Bedrooms could do with a mirror and bathroom a hook on the door but everything else was perfect would highly recommend .

  • Alan

    Excellent break away with the family. Location great with access to York Centre, Pocklington and many more great places to go (highly recommend the Forbidden Corner). Only slight change would be the beds. Other than that it was a great spot and will be back!!
