The cottage was scrupulously clean, very modern, extremely comfortable (loved the king sized bed), very well equipped with lots of little touches to make it feel like home from home. Loved Claire's overall taste. Was extremely quiet and the enclosed rear garden very safe for our little dog. Claire had left us a very well stocked welcome pack which even included treats for our dog (thank you so much). Dog bed, dog bowls and even a dog towel for wet paws. Claire had thought of everything you would need for a very comfortable stay. Would definitely stay again if visiting York and would most definitely highly recommend Keepers Cottage.
