Extremely clean and comfortable. My only problem was that the bath was too high for me to get into to have a shower, but I'm not very tall. Very good explanatory notes, but a few leaflets about York and the surrounding area would be helpful especially as the parking is so difficult in the city. Would definitely recommend, especially for golfers!

So clean and comfortable, ideal as a base to travel to see York and surrounding areas, as well as just chill out time. 100% would recommend. Will be booking again for 2025

It was clean, warm, and well maintained. Within very peaceful and pleasant surroundings. The owners were very friendly and helpful when needed. We tended to eat out, so didnât use the kitchen for cooking, though it had everything you needed. I think if four people were sharing a bigger fridge would be handier. Otherwise we found this one of the best cottages we have stayed in.
