Every room has been beautifully decorated and furnished, creating elegance and sophistication throughout, along with cosy, indulgent details including a roll-top bath, a wood burning stove, and a master bedroom hosting a super-king bed that can be converted into twin beds on request. Outside, the pretty garden is laid to lawn and includes garden furniture and a charcoal barbecue for guests to enjoy.

We absolutely loved our stay at Beau Repaire, the way the cottage is presented, comfort, silence, area. We really hope to return again. No complaints at all. We left constructive comments for Housekeeping a) Regarding the rain water coming in through the Back Door from the above gutter, not sure if it was to do with the bird box but water poured in and down the door onto the floor and also through the rotten wood at the bottom of it. If we had not been in and seen it our shoes on the floor would have been soaked! b) Personally as cottage is for two people, we would have liked the use of a small Omelette pan and not just the large frying pan c) As we stayed for 10 days, we had hoped for more than one Black Bin Bag? d) what we did not mention to Housekeeping....there was no hoover, or dustpan and brush which would have also been useful to us. We really appreciated the Complimentary Entrance for two to Castle Howard and also the Farm Shop Voucher, thank you. Fingers crossed it will not be too long until we return. We had the most wonderful time. Thank you !
