This house is a lovely place for a family to relax and enjoy time together. Masham is a fantastic location, so much right on the doorstep so you hardly need drive although we explored Ripon and a nearby abbey. Walking with dogs and kids is great, market on your front door, pubs nearby and the breweries were all great places to visit. With art and cRead moreoffee shops, two butchers and a fantastic grocers we enjoyed local produce as well as the pubs and the fish and chips excellent! House is a brilliant size, rooms clean and well equipped with lovely bathrooms and lots of hot water. So nice to have the option of an open fire and so much space for all the family huge fridge and two ovens as we like to cook, perfect! Easy to clean floor meant the dogs were fine on the ground floor and the games room was enjoyed by all. We loved the area, loved the house and really enjoyed a wonderful weekend. Hide

The house was really comfortable and well equipped. We had a lovely Christmas week there and easily managed to sleep and feed eight of us there for the week. Fridge a great size and nice big cooker. Great location in the middle of the village but was still very quiet and peaceful.
