Loved the hot tub and lighting in the kitchen/dining room! Kids loved the swings and great selection of outdoor games. Many thanks.
Brian
The house was spacious and very comfortable. Carl and Kevin, the owners were kind and most helpful. Unable to walk the wolds as much as we hoped, we loved our visits to Kirkburn Church, Beverley Minster and Burton Agnes. One small misleading description on the website - the groundfloor bedroom is not en-suite as the bathroom is outside and is shared by the other groundfloor bedroom. We shall certainly recommend Routhorpe to our friends.

Lots to do around the area. We would highly recommend
