What our customers say about their holidays

  A quiet and relaxing holiday in a well equipped property.

  We did one or two local walks but excess to the castle ruins in the village is not allowed for obvious reasons. You will know when you see them, however you can circumnavigate them. There are two pubs in Sheriff Hutton but the Castle Inn a few 100 yards away is now closed for the foreseeable future. The Highwayman does a really good Sunday Lunch but we didn't try the pub in the week, cooked a few meals in the cottage. A one woman taxi service exists in the village, see the local magazine. At the end of the road near the Highwayman is a really good cafe, it is called Quarmby's, we highly recommended it for a tasty treat and coffee. Openings, Wednesday. thought to Sunday. The cottage was comfortable and we slept well in a large bed, there is plenty of wardrobe and draw space. No problems with the facilities as there is a folder provided with all the information needed. The internet and mobile signals are good. No major problems, the owner is only a text or call away and is very helpful. I would like take this opportunity to thank her for the food, milk and beverages she provided on our arrival.

  The cottage was a delight.

  The welcome pack was a really nice touch and the homemade jam was gorgeous. The cottage was very clean throughout and the cleaner deserves to be personally thanked. The cottage was spotless. We loved the shower and the rear garden sitting out area. The bed was very comfortable and we had very restful nights. We loved the wooden shutters and the wood burner. We used it once on one chilly evening, but didn't need any wood. Burning the coal that was made up for us, was enough to take the chill away for an hour or so before bedtime. We understood that the cottage had access rights through the neighbours garden (like we do at our own home), but we didn't need to use that rear access. The weather was really good for our holiday break and our dog's feet were cleaned up and dried with towels (provided) at the front of the house. People in the village were very friendly, especially the young man in the stone house to the left beyond Ascot.

  The old Dohhouse is in a great peaceful location but so close to York and little villages that you can nip out in the car for supplies or pub lunch/dinner easily with plenty of choice.

  The house is very well maintained and spotless. We found the bed really uncomfortable and soft but that could just be us, everything else was perfect. The back garden is all paved/stoned with a small wall and gate so perfect for our little dog to wander about safely whilst we were the the fabulous hot tub (very clean and huge) . Just beyond the back garden at the gate is a large lawned area but it’s not secure but handy if your dog insists on going on grass. Also you can walk the dog up the private road and onto the single track road as there are grassy embankments too. Fine for a little wander. Garden felt very private and views were lovely over the fields. The outside spaces are maintained beautifully. If you need a washing machine or dryer just ask owner for the code as it just outside your property in the barn conversion next to you. Would definitely recommend. Great place to explore the little local area.

  This was a really lovely holiday cottage.

  Every single thing you could think of had been provided (other than facility to do washing) and the use of space had been very well thought out. The steps up to the property and the steep stairs would rule it out for someone not physically able but after I'd got my heavy case up the stairs it was fine (smaller cases would have been better). The only thing I was missing was either a washing machine or spinner and outside line. As I was travelling for 3 weeks, I really needed to wash a few things to keep me going. I found the village delightful, the people were very friendly and the number of walks for myself and my little dog right from the door were amazing. We went to Malton (super dog friendly), York and the wonderful Castle Howard. All within easy reach.

  I have stayed in many holiday cottages over the years and this is probably one of the best.

  The little extra touches that the owner provides including a welcome pack of bread, butter, jam and milk amongst many others makes this cottage just that little bit extra special. Coupled with being in a lovely village not far from many beautiful places to visit and a really good local pub within walking distance, just makes this cottage have it all. Even the dog was provided for with her own towels and water bowl. The only thing to bear in mind, which has been mentioned before, is the steep steps leading up to the cottage and also the stairs to the bedroom and bathroom and may be a problem to some. The very comfortable bed is king size and the shower room is delightful. We very much hope to return before too long.
