Well equipped, very cosy and an excellent base for exploring North Yorkshire. Very clean and comfortable and the hot tub was a very welcome way to de-stress when dealing with a house move! A few minor maintenance issues but quickly resolved when we raised them. Thanks.

Eveything you needed to use , the bed was a bit to high for me but very comfortable one in it . Hot tub was good nice to get into after being out all day Easy access to Northallerton town and other places. The only thing I would say it would be nice to a cupboard for food rather than on the work tops . Definitely would recommend to friends to go stay
