Excellent holiday cottage, comfortable and homely and well equipped. Set in a lovely bit of Yorkshire countryside. Park and ride to York is nearby and works very well.

If there were six stars we would have given them, what a beautiful hidden gem of a property. If you are after a spacious, rural, peaceful slice of Yorkshire this is the place for you . Having your own private garden that is literally a huge field that overlooks the river to enjoy watching the sunset on warm summer evenings and a perfect location to get to places like York , Harrogate, Whitby , Scarborough and the Yorkshire dales all drivable within an hour or under . Both hosts were great and left lots of local information for us to get to local shops , pubs and walks . We will definitely be using the landings again and can’t wait to return.
