We had a wonderful holiday at the Old King's Head, with our six children. The house was interesting, had character, and was very well furnished with great style. It was also spacious and very well supplied with everything you'd need for a family holiday, especially in winter, when you may need to spend more time inside than outside.The location is excellent too. We were able to let the older children go into the town with their pocket money, as everything was basically on our doorstep, yet somehow it still felt private and secluded because of the courtyard and the churchyard next door. So it was a great balance of privacy and proximity. We also liked hearing the church bells chime; it was quaint and appropriately evocative of English town heritage itself.Of course, the proximity to great walks and outings to incredible places like Whitby or Thirsk was much appreciated, too. There is more than enough to do, and the house was a lovely, comfortable, and spacious place to come back to each day, and to relax in throughout the evening. Meals in the large farmhouse-style kitchen were memorable, and the games room was also a wonderful bonus which was generously stocked with all sorts of fun and equipment - much appreciated by the children!Would highly recommend this property, it's a real treasure.
