  Very clean, well organised cottage in the middle of Malton.

  Walking distance to the station and the market place and the feature shops and cafes. The cottage itself is very well situated. The church bells didn't bother us. The road noise was quite noticeable and cars using the lane as a short cut but the roadworks are to blame and they aren't scheduled to go on much longer. The cottage is clean and neat. The stairs are a bit scary for people with big feet :) but its a small cottage so it's to be expected. Everything in the cottage looks new and is modern. The patio is lovely and a good place to read (or snooze). Didn't really use the hot tub much but it looked great in its little gazebo. The only thing we would have liked added to the cottage would be a little coffee table in the living room but I appreciate its a small space and the sofa is a pull out bed so it might not be practical. In Malton we visited the monthly market and bought lots of lovely food. We had an ice cream at the Groovy Moo and a Gin at the Rare Bird Distillery. We had Sunday lunch at the Talbot Malton which was excellent. The Yorkshire pudding dessert was very special. We had a couple of good breakfasts in Malton at cute cafes. The people of Malton are lovely Yorkshire folk and are very friendly. Morrisons is very close to the cottage although I wouldn't recommend their car charger as its very busy. There is a better charger in the car park opposite Yates and Sons which was never busy. The parking situation seemed odd at first but its actually very close by when you get your bearings and it was good to know the car was safely parked especially because we didn't use it every day. We got the train to York twice and went to the Races which was amazing! We also did the bus tour of York. Who knew that Dick Turpin is buried there! Also went to the designer outlet which was comparable to the ones we'd been to in Florida and is a good place to browse and have a coffee. Overall this cottage is clean, well appointed and a great base for exploring and we will recommend it to friends and family.

  Just come back from church hill, perfect location.

  It was a lovely stay, very clean and had everything we needed, hot tub was a definite bonus. Bed was firm but comfortable for us. The back yard was lovely with the flowers. Morrisons and Lidl is in walking distance. Only thing I would suggest is a lamp in living room for evening instead of having to have the big light on, not essential though. As per a previous review it was busy cars but there were temporary lights up which probably enhanced this however this didn't bother us as we were out most of the time. The church bells are lovely to hear so if you are expecting a lie in then don't stay here as they start at 7am every 15mins till 10pm, however you do get used to them so didn't notice too much towards end of week. Malton is a lovely town, highly recommend India restaurant, Royal Oak (old Malton) 1mile from church Hill for food. Its definitely recommended to book a table for all places in Malton as one evening we couldn't get in anywhere. We also used tangs Chinese. Maybe some info on local doctors, nearest hospital and vets etc in the folder, as our dog was either stung or bitten and had a reaction (his face swelled) and needed to find a vet so can recommend battle flats vets, Norton which is a 10min walk. They saw him ASAP. Wouldn't have thought of this usually but would have been quicker if there had been number to hand. Thank you for a lovely stay x would definitely stay again x

  I would firstly like to say that the property was immaculate.

  It was neutrality decorative and functional. It was close by to all facilities and just a short walk down the hill to pubs restaurants takeaways Etc The paid parking was a bonus however it wasn't outside your door but a walk away but only about 7 minutes. The bed was really comfortable. Secondly there is CCTV footage on the back patio the front door and the side gate!? Sure the owners are just being over protective of their property. However it does seem quite intrusive. (perhaps they have had problems in the past). We were a middle aged couple and we didn't use the hot tub because I thought we were were overlooked by neighbours (several) and CCTV when getting out. Also! If the water temperature in the hot tub was the same as the Luke warm shower in the house which we couldn't turn up then it wouldn't have been not been pleasant I had goose bumps when coming out of shower.in the house It was purely functional for getting washed. In the summer may be ok but in december.then you expect some steam!!/ However due to the advance heating button it was always quite warm. Would highly recommend but hopefully owners will take on board comments No hair dryer!! Which I presume is a staple in all accomodation however if you want to do your washing and it is then no probs. Although I have no desire to do this on hols. There is a washing line outside

  We had a very nice and relaxing stay the cottage is very clean and cosy nicely furnished /decorated it had everything we needed the hot tub was fabulous we really enjoyed it every day lovely and warm The cottage is near to a church and it was so nice to hear the gentle chimes of the old church bells on the hour this was lovely to experience not highlighted by Sykes but well worth a mention it was so quant the town of Malton has lots to offer as does the surrounding areas full of beautiful views there is plenty to see and lots of places to visit lots of shops and lots of countryside to spend some quiet time in We got lost for a few hours daydreaming and taking in the scenery it was so refreshing just doing nothing just sitting on a park bench I would fully recomend this holiday cottage to anyone who is looking for a break or a bolt hole it was ideal for the 2 of us but can sleep 4 The owner Chris is a great host he was easy to contact and was helpful This perfect little place was well worth a visit which is situated in an area that has a lot on offer it can be busy if you hit the town or tranquil if you adventure to the countryside not forgetting the seaside which is only about 21 miles away Thank you Diane

  The pictures dont do the justice of this stunning cottage.

  It locates in the owners farm and also has good access to coastal towns. The property itself is very spacious with a beautifully maintained garden. Its enclosed so our dog could wander freely without me checking him constantly. He went to front open space too where he interacted with the owners dogs and explored their barn. The views over the field was just breathtaking. My partner stood by the window upstairs hours daily reading and enjoying the scenery there. The horses were magnificent and my partner just fell in love with Max. The sheep had a funny character approaching me for a petting. They kept barrbarring until I noticed them and gave them some good attention. The owner was very helpful and offered us to use their tumble dryer as the weather was wet during our stay. We didnt find kitchen scissors and tongs but managed without them, so didnt bother to ask the owners. The only thing I would say is the washing machine door seals might need a change. But it doesnt stop us visiting again. All in all, this is a great accommodation. Well done Robert and Joanna for your effort put into it
