Guests say
Half Moon Cottage in York is a cosy and characterful property, appreciated for its comfortable furnishings and warm atmosphere. Guests enjoy the convenient location for exploring Yorkshire, the thoughtful touches by the hosts, and the cottage's charm. The enclosed garden and open fireplace are particularly highlighted, although some guests noted the garden's size and maintenance. The village's friendly pub and scenic surroundings add to the pleasant experience.
The cottage is generally described as clean and tidy, with guests feeling at home. There is a single mention of an untidy garden and dog mess, but overall, the cleanliness seems to be of a high standard.
The location is well-received for its proximity to York and other attractions, with a friendly local pub nearby. Some guests mentioned the village lacks shops and the road outside can be busy, but the overall sentiment is positive.
Guests find the cottage warm, cosy, and comfortable, with good wardrobe space and comfy beds. A few issues with the shower and a busy road are noted, but comfort is consistently praised.
The facilities, including a well-equipped kitchen and a wood burner, are appreciated. However, there are several mentions of a shower needing attention, and suggestions for minor improvements like additional TVs and bedside lamps.
While guests mention thoughtful touches like a welcome bottle of Prosecco and chocolates, there are not enough reviews referencing consistent gifts to provide a score. It's important to note that such gifts are a kind gesture and not guaranteed.

A lovely cottage set in a charming village. The cottage was well laid out with a decent size lounge with a real wood burning fire perfect for a cold night. The cottage was lovely and warm and very clean the host contacted me before I left to ask if I needed anything and tell me where the nearest shops were. There was also a bottle of wine as a welcome gift. The kitchen had everything you needed and an enclosed garden perfect for a dog. The beds were comfy too. I would definitely recommend this cottage
