The perfect getaway for chilling out and exploring this lovely part of Yorkshire.

Fabulous cottage, very clean, the village was lovely too. If I had one grumble, the stairs were very steep.

Enjoyed the 8 days we stayed in this nicely decorated, clean and comfortable cottage. Good-sized bedroom with a comfortable bed and a great closet which makes it easy to have suitcases out of the way and lots of space to hang and store clothes. Bathroom is nice sized also, with lots of space and shelves/areas to put stuff on. I LOVED the electric shower, water was warm with little to no wait. Kitchen had a separate freezer from the fridge, the dishwaher, range, oven, and washer/dryer are all decent-sized. There were netspresso pods for the coffee machine. You do need to be careful on the stairs, maybe wear grippy socks and make sure to hold on to the rails provided. It was a bit chilly for us, so we used the boiler, heating the cottage plus provided a nice atmosphere with the fire. We would definitely stay here again. It was a good spot to explore some of the more mid to northern England areas like Durham and York. The road is quiet with bicyclists, horses and a few cars that go by. The windows are great at reducing outside noise. You will probably need a car, but there is a gas station within walking distance with a decent selection of grocery items. We bought those chef-prepared meals that we could warm up in the oven several times. Also within walking distance there is a cafe in the garden center that had a great traditional English breakfast. Nicola is a great host and was very responsive to our questions. We really enjoyed our restful stay at the cottage.

property cosy cottage but stairs narrow and spiral which is downside for unfit people geeting on in years.
