Excellent accommodation with well equipped kitchen, pleasant living room looking out over a Mediterranean garden and comfortable bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms (shower cubicles on the smallish side). Access to a largely enclosed field by the riverside, great for dogs, with walks along the riverside to Beningborough hall (NT). No local amenities in the village but two pubs in the next village and easy access to the York Ring Road with supermarkets and Rawcliffe Bar Park&Ride.

The Landings is a beautiful cottage, in wonderful suroundings. The pictures on the website certainly do not do this place justice.My only complaint is that we didnt stay longer! This cottage has everything you may possibly need. We will definately be back.

Wow! What a fantastic cottage and having used cottages.com a number of times, I would say that this is the best, all round cottage that we have stayed in. The cleaning was fantastic and definitely 10/10 for cleanliness. We had a dog with us and the enclosed rear garden was great with the added bonus of field we could use just outside the enclosed rear garden. Overall, absolute marvellous value for money.
