It's difficult to express how perfect this cottage was for my hubby and I to disappear to for a couple of days.
The property was beautifully presented, clean, comfortable and delightful added extras : fresh flowers on the dining table, all you need to make a loaf in the breadmaker, milk and a bottle of wine.
Everything was sparkling, the towels and bed linen were high quality and beautifully laundered.
The position of the cottage was an escape. On the edge of the small hamlet of Spaunton and approx 3/4 mile away from Lastingham.
We awoke to the sounds of nature, sheep, birds, neighbouring ducks and geese.
We highly recommend The Blacksmiths Arms in Lastingham. A warm welcome on a chilly January evening. The food was amazing and the locals were incredibly welcoming.
We feel privileged to have spent some time in North Yorkshire in such a beautiful cottage. We would highly recommend to any couple wanting to get away from it all.
