Wendy
We felt extremely comfortable, warm and cosy with everything we needed. The area is quiet and peaceful and we slept well in the comfy beds. Richard was very welcoming and even sourced us a walking stick to borrow for my mother, whoâd left hers at home. We enjoyed the scones and biscuits left for us too! Weâd definitely stay again if weâre visiting the area.

Bedrooms were really comfortable with their ensuite bathrooms. Suited us 3 adults. Kitchen extremely well equipped (even managed to cook a full Sunday roast!). Hosts live next door, so on hand if you need anything and they are extremely helpful. A peaceful spot - no road noise, in fact no noise at all!! About 20 mins to the Park and Ride for York. We managed to do the Wolds, Moors and Dales all in a week! Great spot for seeing it all. Walks from the door. We hope to do a return trip.

The showers are good and plenty of hot water is 'on tap'. Self-catering is easy with a single oven and halogen hob. The kitchen has everything you need to prepare a meal - all you need is the food! Nearest supermarket we found was in Polkington... The cottage owner greeted us on arrival and offered his assistance if we needed it. There was fresh milk in the fridge and fresh scones, Jam and clotted cream to start the holiday... The location is quiet... very quiet. There are no pubs or shops within walking distance so it is essential to have a vehicle to hand... a bike, a motor bike or car etc. There is a café adjacent to the cottage which is open Thursday-Sunday; we didn't use it but it looked okay from the outside.
