Property owner very helpful and friendly, went above and beyond. He brought over a shower chair and prop for my elderly mother and was very informative of the surrounding area giving us lots of options of things to do.

The cottage was all on one level which was great for me as I have limited mobility with my multiple sclerosis. Set on a quiet country farm it was the perfect setting to relax for myself and my friend. Also a great place to visit the North Yorkshire Moors & Coast. We will definitely book our holiday here again.

Would help greatly if there was continued solid flooring throughout (in bedrooms as carpets atm). Could do with more plates and mugs, only a suggestion. Lovely stay again in a good position to visit accessible places, Bowes museum is excellent in every way.
