A great venue for a family gathering. The house is beautifully furnished & spotlessly clean. The hosts Lisa & Adi were super helpful and accommodating on our arrival. All in all could not have wished for a better location.

Perfect for our large group with easy access to York. Lovely touches made it feel very comfortable and homely yet ultimate luxury. Wish we could have stayed longer.

Beautifully decorated throughout. Gorgeous garden which was fully secure for the dog. Superb hot tub area. Really comfortable beds. Very clean with a lovely kitchen area, plenty of fridge space for all the wine! Lovely and responsive property owners who left us cake and some eggs. All in all a great stay and would highly recommend.
