Lovely quiet setting. The snug was clean and comfortable, everything you need within the cottage. Lovely secure garden for the dog. Nice bottle of wine, chocolates, biscuits, tea, coffee and milk even thought of treats for the dog. Close to travel to Malton, Pickering and the coast. Would highly recommend. Would gladly rebook to go again.

A good idea would be a waterproof roof over patio to dry wet dogs and feet before going into the snug. Also a floor mop inside the door. Great holiday, thank you.
