Ideal holiday house for 3 of us and two dogs. Everything was there that we needed. House and garden is very dog friendly and a couple of excellent dogs walks straight from the front door. Also lovely to be given a free pass to Castle Howard and being able to walk round the gardens. Well located and good pubs nearby.
