The cottage's location is highly praised for being central in Masham, with easy access to shops, pubs, and local attractions. The convenience of parking and proximity to walking routes are frequently commended.
Guests generally find the cottage comfortable, especially noting the beds and spaciousness. Some guests, however, mentioned that the lounge seating and dining furniture could be updated for better comfort.

Well equipped with everything you need. The furniture in the lounge is not as advertised, however there was only me and my poodle so it was fine. Just one small 'irk' was the shower. The first time I used it I tried to alter the height and the bar came off in my hand
