The cottage was perfect for two people. It was very well equipped and cleaned to an high standard. We appreciated the welcome scones and biscuits. Friendly and easily accessible owners. Great to support a local family business. We were extremely lucky with the weather but even if it had been raining this part of Yorkshire has so much to occupyRead more us. Very quiet relaxing and beautiful location. Access to washing machine a bonus. There is a camping field available so it is possible for some members of the family to camp and others to rent a cottage which we may do in future. Hide

Robbie's Retreat was fantastic! We loved being secluded, away from people and in the peace of the countryside. The sheep outside our window provided much entertainment each morning! The location meant we could visit all sorts of places as it was pretty central to most things. Very comfortable to relax in during the evening, and the recommendations Read moreof places to eat were spot on. We were warmly welcomed and provided for, and would highly recommend Robbie's Retreat!

I loved staying at Robbie's Retreat and felt very much at home there. Everything was perfectly clean, and the kitchen was equipped with absolutely everything that one needs.

A wonderfully relaxing break. All amenities and comfort in a little house! Warm, efficient and immaculate accommodation. Friendly yet unobtrusive owners and a quiet farmland and open countryside area for rambling or sightseeing. And the cakes made on the farm are fabulous. Can't wait to go back.
