We had a brilliant time at the Fourth Milestone Granary. The cottage is very close to York City center, we used the park and ride which is only a 5 minute drive away and is a very convenient way to go into the city centre. There is also plenty of shops and supermarkets near the cottage for shopping. We really enjoyed the hot tub and watching the cows and rabbits in the field behind the cottage. The cottage was very clean and comfortable with everything we needed. The owners were very helpful and nothing was too much trouble for them. We will definitely be staying here again! Thank you
