Charming country cottage, in the most beautiful location (highly recommend a walk up to the church to see the view). Local pub (Durham Ox) very handy for delicious food. Well placed for exploring York, Castle Howard and near enough to the Dales for day trips. Very cosy with the Rayburn and books and toys were appreciated by the kids. Kitchen has onRead morely basic equipment & Rayburn takes a long time to get warm, so would suggest eating out where possible. Hide

On arrival at the property after 4pm as requested, on a Sunday, it was clear that the property had not been prepared for us and there was no clean linen for us. The staff we telephoned were understanding and supportive but explained that nothing could be done until the next day. We agreed a plan with the agency staff but it has left us questioningRead more the quality of this booking company. The publicised price of hire led us to expect a high standard of accommodation and service. The location was great and the living and sleeping facilities once sorted were very comfortable . Hide

Overall the cottage was great - beautiful setting, large garden and comfortable beds. Small things to mention - the latches on the internal doors were very loose and kept falling off. Also, we could have used with more hand towels - only one supplied for the entire cottage despite two bathrooms and the kitchen.

The outside parking was non existent. I had an operation on my knee on the 22nd of December, and I had to park right at the top of the hill, because someone parked right outside and blocked it. It was a neighbour I was told...

The cottage was clean and well maintained throughout. However I was surprised to find 10.5tog duvets being used in the height of summer. It would have been considerably more comfortable for all if the cottage had summer duvets on the beds. Also a wall clock in the kitchen would have been very helpful. My children did appreciate the toys and booksRead more that were available in the bunk bed room. Hide
