Karen
We had a lovely stay at Westfield Stable. The accommodation was well equipped and provided all we needed for our stay. There is little within the immediate vicinity but we knew this before we came. There is easy access to the Park & Ride to visit York. It served as a great base for exploring the area.

The property was spotless, spacious, and an ideal location. Halfway between york and harrowgate. Lovely walks with the dog, especially up the river at Knaresborough. Excellent value for money. Very quiet location.
