The cottage is very well appointed with high standard fittings. 2 very comfortable bedrooms - 1 superking and 1 king size. 2 x superking would be better. Downstairs is an open plan kitchen, diner, fitting room with lovely wood burning stove. There is no view from the downstairs. Small enclosed garden with fields behind - perfect for dogs but not enough for a long walk. The cottage is very good value for money. Tricky to get hold of the owner Margaret but she lives next door and her daughter lives in the big house. We had a fab dinner at the Alice Hawthorn in Nun Monkton and great lunch at the Dawnay arms Newton.
