What our customers say about their holidays

  Pros: Spacious with a good sized garden.

  Plenty of parking. Comfortable bed. Lovely area ideal for visiting York, Selby and Leeds. Cons: Unable to control the heating which meant it was cold when you needed it. Small fan heater was insufficient for the six of room.It needed a warning advising that the water was very hot. It could not be turned down in the shower and there was a danger of getting burnt. The washing machine rubber was dirty and covered in mildew. We tried to clean it but ended up taking laundry to my son's. On top of that the seating was the most uncomfortable we have ever known. My wife has a back problem and was in agony for most of our stay. The WiFi was weak and disappeared all together when other properties were occupied. Reading the comments book it appears that many if these complaints had been raised previously without any action being taken. A shame as it could have been an amazing stay.

  Great little property; lovely garden and private parking, all secure!

  Accommodation was well equipped and heating and hot water in abundance! Clean and tidy... milk left in fridge (very handy) with tea and coffee etc. Only a few little issues, hence the 4*....sofa was like sitting on plank of wood, uncomfortable... although chair was comfy.... shower did not drain too well, needed mop and bucket to mop floor after every shower and slight smell from drains and gurgling from sink, thought it was external drain but that looked OK... fridge can be a little noisy being open plan! All in all great little place and well situated for air museum and Selby. Great place for fur baby, having secure and well kept garden. Could quite easily stay again!! Oh... and there is a hairdryer!!

  I found the cottage very well equipped & warm.

  The bed was comfortable & sheets/ towels etc were clean & in good condition. The enclosed garden was a real bonus, ideal for pets. I was very pleased & grateful that the owners had gone to the trouble of putting Xmas decorations up & also leaving a bottle of wine & mince pies for me- very thoughtful & much appreciated! My only niggle is regarding the small sofa ( which appeared to be fairly new.) I found it extremely uncomfortable & after the first night I gave up & laid on the floor to watch TV. As my stay was over the Xmas period & all I wanted was to relax & sprawl out, that was very disappointing. In every other respect it was ideal & if not for the sofa I would definitely book again.

  Excellent , brilliant , loved it .

  Spotless and I've never stayed anywhere so well equipped. Everything you could ever need ,and more , even a torch for last garden visits before bed , which was the most comfortable bed I've slept in . The garden was perfect for my springer spaniel , absolutely secure . Lovely walks from there , buses to York and selby on a request timetable . Easy to drive to other places . I had an amazing week , wish it had been for longer and will definitely be back . The only problem was the WiFi, very intermittent, but the place was so lovely it really wouldn't stop me visiting again . As I said , an absolutely perfect week for me and jess , the springer Spaniel

  Fantastic long weekend of peaceful solitude.

  The owner made it known upon arrival that she was available if needed and was found immediately when I had a missing item to supply it. They also kindly made it clear ahead of my departure that I didn’t have to rush out at the usual checkout time as their cleaner would not be there until later in the day. The only suggestion would be to provide a torch, especially in winter, as by their own admission the solar lights don’t really get enough sunlight to charge them and the path to the pod from the car park and the drive/road itself can be pretty dark. All in all, a wonderful weekend and I’d love to return.
