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.

Lovely cottage in such a lovely countryside location. Ideal to explore N.Yorkshire & York itself. The Cottage had everything that you would need. Fab.

We had a great few days here with our dog. Lovely cosy cottage, spotlessly clean and in a quiet location. We had the best nights sleep as the beds were really comfy. The welcome pack information about the area and places to go was brilliant with lots of local knowledge. We visited Pateley Bridge and Castle Howard and had a day just chilling in the cottage. Topped up with fuel and bits in the local Tesco which was only 10mins away. Would recommend it and would like to go back in a drier season to be able to walk along the river.
