Wonderful and comfortable cottage. Good location with lots of interests within 20 to 30 min drive and local shops 10 min drive. Hosts are very welcoming with a lovely hamper upon arrival. Would definitely return.

A fabulous cottage ( the photos really don’t do it justice ) in a rural setting with amazing views. Very helpful owners, generous welcome pack & ideally placed to explore York, Whitby, Scarborough & the picturesque villages dotted around. The heritage steam railway is only 10 minutes drive & makes an enjoyable day out. A dog friendly property & the owners couldn’t be more welcoming. We would love to visit again.
