Philip
Holly Bank House was spacious, comfortable and well appointed, and we were able to visit the National Railway Museum, Beverley Minster, as well as contacting family in the area. We received a warm welcome at the Pub at Etton. The village is peaceful, the countryside delightful, even in the snow! Philip, Christine and David. P.S. I took out one of the batteries of the kitchen clock to stop the cuckoo, and forgot to replace it. Sorry!

The house is set back in a quiet village. House was well equipped with everything you needed. Beautiful garden for a bbq and plenty of room for the family dog to run around. A short walk to the local pub.
