The cottage was lovely, very well equipped and beautifully furnished. The owners, Julie and Nigel were very friendly and helpful. We had a lovely week exploring North Yorkshire and would definitely stay again next time we're in Yorkshire.

This has to be one of the best holiday accommodation properties on offer by Cottages.com. Julie and Nigel are the perfect hosts, from their warm welcome to their unobtrusive availability for advice and information to the quality welcome pack on arrival. This tastefully presented conversion is one of the best we have stayed in, and we have stayed in many over the last 30 years. The meticulous attention to detail, providing home from home luxurious comfort makes for a most relaxing and enjoyable holiday. Julie and Nigel have set a standard here by which all other properties should aspire. The only downside would be that it is such a fabulous property, that you just don't want to leave! We hope we can return another day. Thank you Julie, Nigel and the staff of Cottage.com.

The host Julie and Nigel live on site and are lovely nothing too much for them. The 2 properties they let out are a credit to them. Highly highly recommended. Cant wait to go back.
