    Great Little Cottage

    Really lovely cottage which was exactly what we were looking for. It was well equipped and the beds were very comfortable. The cottage is within striking distance of both York and Harrogate which gave us enjoyable days out. The staff at the local Oak Tree Inn pub were very welcoming and the food and atmosphere were second to none. The only negatives about our stay was the remoteness of the cottage and total lack of any shop (apart from a butchers) in the village. The cottage is on the main road and the traffic through the village was a tad noisy at night, especially given the warm nights requiring the windows being open. For these two reasons we have deducted a star for location and area.
    Stayed 3 nights in May 2024

    We stayed as a family of 3 over the New Year period, and the cottage was everything we needed.

    We stayed as a family of 3 over the New Year period, and the cottage was everything we needed. For what we paid for 7 nights, I would say it was good value for money. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook family meals, and was great having a dishwasher and washing machine to use. The living room was very cosy, and having the wood burner was a brilliant bonus. The livingroom was decorated lovely for Christmas and added that extra cosy feel. The bedrooms were of good size, and the beds were comfortable. Plenty clothing storage space too. There was no tv in the bedroom, which disappointed our teenage son as he had to share the living room tv with us, so a small tv in the single room would be a brilliant addition for families. The bathroom was ok, shower could be a bit troublesome but once we worked out how to keep the pressure on, we had no issues. The cottage is a great base for exploring York and other villages by car, however nothing is really within walking distance. There is a village inn about 2 mins walk from the cottage, however we did not visit, and a stunning church which is worth visiting. Overall, a lovely stay and would return.
