The property is very cosy and comfortable but there were a couple of little niggles: It was not as clean as it could be on arrival, with breadcrumbs on the kitchen table and the toilet in the en suite not flushed properly and cleaned, the range was too dirty to use, amongst other minor things. There are also a few maintenance issues, the wash basin in the main bathroom is not on the plinth properly, the toilet seat downstairs is not secured properly, a small leak from the en suite shower dripped down the beam in the lounge. The extractor fan in the en suite was turned off and too high to reach to switch on. The toilet in the main bathroom is very noisy on flushing and there were lights not working on the stairway. Some areas of the carpet is not secured causing a trip hazard. More towels and cups (some cups were too stained to use) would have been appreciated. Much of this sounds negative but they are mostly easy fixes and we want the owners to be aware. Overall our stay was very relaxing and comfortable.

The cottage was very comfortable and is in an ideal location for the Yorkshire Dales and also the coastal towns. Walked to the Royal Oak at nearby Gillamoor, a nice stroll of just under 15 minutes, and enjoyed 2 excellent dinners there. Would love to visit the Cottage again at some future time.

However we found it to be warm and comfortable, the kitchen was well equipped. The mattresses were firm which we like although our son did also use the duvet from one of the single beds to lie on. The oven did need a wipe over and one of the baking trays had congealed fat on from bacon being cooked by a previous guest but this was easily sorted out. The woodwork and radiators do need a good wipe over. A couple of bulbs need replacing ie the spot light in the main bedroom and in the hallway downstairs. We enjoyed a cuppa and biscuits in the conservatory. Overall we had a lovely stay in an old cottage full of character in a peaceful location.
