  What an amazing holiday cottage.

  It has everything you could possible need and sheep. The cottage is behind the owners house but this doesn’t impact on your stay at all. As you have your own cottage and are left to enjoy the peace and quiet of the local area. When you do see the owner though she is always kind and caring and happy to chat. The cottage itself was just what you need for a self catering holiday. Well equips kitchen, with all you could need to cook. The added little treats left by the owner just makes it even more special. The living room is comfy and just big enough for what you would need it for there are also doors that lead to a lovely little patio area with seating and a bbq. Don’t worry about the charcoal though. The cottage has that all covered. The bedroom has a lovely bed and the chocolates left went down very well. The dinning room was great and the little table meant we could set up the laptop (you get excellent free Wi-Fi) and was a great space for what we needed the computer for. Finally the bathroom which was clean and tidy and had all the toiletries and towels you could need. Oh, and don’t get me started on the shower. I thought I would never get my husband out of it he loved it so much. Only small downside was for us the tv signal was a little iffy at times (we never asked about it though as we were to busy going out and having fun) but that wasn’t really an issue as it was still watchable it just froze or fuzzed every once in a while and I know if we had of spoken to the owner she would have gone above and beyond to sort it. All in all I would have to say our stay was amazing and I could not recommend this cottage enough. I will definitely be telling all my friends and family about it. Seriously if you want a nice quiet holiday free of hassle with all the wildlife and nature at you fingertips but still close to a beach and a town then look no further this is the holiday cottage got you. Thank you for a lovely stay.

  The cottage is quite a good size for a 1 bedroom property.

  Access is 3/4 mile down a track. The track was fairly smooth but very dusty due to dry weather. Cottage is other side of yard from back of owners house but guests are free to use that area, which had a large table with a sun shade. Car parking is inside the yard, which had gates, or on the grass beside the track. The front door opening into a hall but normal access was through the french windows from the yard. The hall was useful for storage and a dog (if you have one) also had a cloakroom with a shower. The lounge/diner/kitchen was a reasonable size and seemed to have everything we needed. The TV had a Freestat box (not Freeview as in the description) so channel numbers all different. It was a small square TV and replacement by a 26 or 32 inch TV would be an improvement. Wi-Fi was available. The bedroom is quite small but had enough storage with a small wardrobe and a chest of drawers. The en-suite is a large wet room which has been been well set up for a disabled person. The property is set in beautiful farming countryside, with plenty of walks, including ¾ mile into the charming village of Hovington where there is a shop, a bakery and a cafe. There is good access to Ryedale and the moors to the north. Nearby Helmsley has lots of different places to eat and drink.

  Upon arrival at Stable cottage, we received a warm welcome from the owners.

  Once we entered the cottage we were disappointed. Thankfully we were only using as a base, so not planning on spending much time in the cottage. My husband is disabled and has problems with mobility, hence why we booked the cottage, wet room, disabled bar to hold onto by the toilet and all one level. The wet room you could hardly open the door as the bed was blocking the door, you could not even open the door half way! I have never stayed anywhere where the seating was so uncomfortable, so it was hard to relax,watch tv or read a book. The beds, it was like sleeping on boards, the bed linen was supposed to be white, but it gone that yellow colour, from where it had seen better days! On the surface it looked clean, but it wasn't, the lampshades had flies in them, cobwebs!!! If we had been there for more than 3 nights, I think we would have left and checked into a hotel or come home! We were really looking forward to spending some time on our own and relaxing, but we left very disappointed with the cottage and relived to come home.

  We arrived at the cottage and were welcomed by the friendly owner, Rachel, who had baked us some delicious ginger biscuits.

  The cottage was very spacious for two people and had the bonus of a utility room (where you enter the property through) which is great to store your muddy boots and gear. The bathroom has the bonus of a bath and shower, and the bedroom has enough storage to unpack your cases fully. The lounge and kitchen are open plan- again plenty big enough, although we would have liked more kitchen utensils (pots and pans) to cook with. For those wanting access to WiFi please be aware that the signal in this area is poor and we could not access the Internet most of the time. The location of the cottage is perfect for those wish to explore the surrounding countryside or who need an easy commute to Warley, Hebden Bridge, Heptonstall or Halifax town. It may be worth noting that the drive to the cottage involves a few steep hairpin lanes which are not for the inexperienced driver. Overall, we would definitely recommend this cottage. Rachel was very welcoming and always available to answer any questions. There is also parking at the property.

  Stable cottage was an amazing place up a very long farm track.

  The area around the cottage was fantastic farm land with glorious views and good walks 1mile to Hovingham and a bit less to Cawton. Fantastic for our dog Binki. The cottage had all the equipment necessary for a weeks stay. Unfortunately the microwave was rather old and broke. The owners were very quick to replace it with a great new one. The washing machine was not usable without brute force to close the door,so we gave that a miss and did hand washing. On arrival it would have been very nice to find milk, bread, butter in a starter pack. Just enough to get a cup of tea. Fortunately I did get supplies in the village store before arrival,but all the other cottages we have stayed in have supplied basics. Would we go back to stable cottage? Yes it was a great place from which to explore the whole area around York and the moors. Philippa and Clive were brilliant hosts and very helpful, and informative about the surrounding area.
