The garden was more than big enough for our dog, Pepper and safe and secure. Situated in an ideal location to visit surrounding areas and York.

A pleasant village close to York and Selby with a really frequent bus service.

Although we didnât make much use of the garden, that was also well maintained and felt secure. For a two-bedroomed cottage it is spacious and we never felt like we were tripping over each other. We will definitely be considering these cottages (either Rose, or Thistle next door for the extra bedroom) if we return to the area. We really liked the cottage and it is in a great location for day trips.
