The cottage is comfortable, well equipped and spotlessly clean. Staff are very friendly and always welcoming. We intend to return next year.

The description was very accurate. The owners were very friendly and helpful. They provided fans for us for the hot weather and non slip rubber mats for the showers. The only slight problems were that the bathroom doors were both difficult to close, and the upstairs shower was very difficult to control due to dodgy taps ! But overall we were very happy with our holiday in Yorkshire. The weather helped too.

Any small problems were dealt with, and everyone we encountered on the farm were helpful and friendly. I can definitely recommend the breakfast hamper .
