If you want peace,quiet and stunning views this is the place to head for. Big shout out to Gary and Jennifer who went out of their way to ensure my stay was a comfortable one. Near to the coast,Malton and York for days out. I came home very relax and refreshed.

We really enjoyed our stay there. The Welcome pack exceeded our expectations, Bread, butter, milk, eggs, tomatoes, Prosecco and Beer, even some lovely Brownies to have with a cuppa. Nothing was too much trouble for our Hosts, Gary and Jennifer, they both made us feel at home, but didn't intrude on our privacy. We were lucky to sit out on the veranda a few times, although it was October. Convenient for the village pub, and plenty of places to visit, without travelling too far. Eden Camp, Yorkshire Arboretum, Scampston Hall and Gardens, York also Scarborough, and Bridlington within easy reach.
