Clean, comfortable, and in a good location to visit a number of attractions including York, Filey Malton etc.Well equiped for a short stay, but would benefit from a washing machine if staying for a week or more.The view over the field was an added bonus.

We had a great week at Cartwheel Cottage, it’s really well placed to explore York and the surrounding areas. The cottage itself was equipped with everything that we needed and was spotlessly clean. Highly recommend!

A fantastic property - clean, tidy, welcoming and warm. It is so relaxing to sit and watch the view over the fields from the upstairs windows. Ideal location for exploring the coast and also York.
