This cottage is so cute and well equipped for our stay. We stayed 3 nights and could easily have stayed longer Warm and cosy with the added bonus of the hot tub. Regardless of the weather, the hot tub was used every night.The pub is just to the right of the cottage, for a drink and darts or pool and there's a local store too should you need anything.Id happily recommend staying here, super cute and quant village with park & rides close by for access to the city.

Nice and cosy. Lovely local area and convenient in location to York. The only real gripe was that the hot tub had a bit of debris and the cover was awkward to remove/put on
