This was our second visit to Mill Cottage, having previously stayed in the summer and most recently for New Year.The cottage is truly lovely, and we especially cherished the open fire which we kept lit every evening—it was fantastic. It feels very spacious, especially for the three of us this time. The kitchen is fully well-equipped with everything you could need for cooking.We really can't fault the cottage. The only slight inconvenience is the ground-floor bathroom, which requires a trip downstairs during the night.The views from all the rooms are gorgeous, and we enjoyed watching the abundant wildlife in the large garden. We will certainly be booking Mill Cottage again on our next trip to the area."

Cosy and comfortable cottage, in a quiet and scenic location close to Rievaulx Abbey. Walks straight from the door and cafe nearby. Would recommend Mill Cottage for a relaxing holiday.

We have had several previous stays at Mill Cottage, and this time we had three grandchildren with us. The stairs to the upper floor are quite steep so care needs to be taken, but all was well. The children loved seeing the horses and sheep in nearby fields.
