The location is frequently mentioned as fantastic, with the cottage being in close proximity to local amenities and lovely places in Yorkshire. The presence of a good pub directly behind the cottage adds to the appeal.
Comfort is a recurring theme, with guests finding the beds comfy and the living spaces cosy and relaxing. The cottage is noted for its warm and inviting atmosphere.
The cottage is well-equipped and furnished, with a utility room that is appreciated by guests with pets. However, one guest found the TV setup challenging, which slightly impacts the score.
