Great location near Thirsk, great for exploring the area. Would be happy to return in the future.

storage - providing a half-sized cupboard for food and a tiny fridge for up to 4 people is not enough. 2. The ramp to the front door is extremely slippery when wet, even wearing walking boots etc the feet slipped. More worrying was my wife's walking stick and feet slipped numerous times nearly causing a fall! The cottage was very comfy and warm, and we did initially say we would want to return but due to the above we probably will not which is a shame.
