    A superb house, in a very quiet location but equally within easy reach of York, Harrogate and the numerous attractions in the area It is exceptionally well equipped and Liz is an excellent host We couldn't recommend this property more highly

  • Anna

    Immaculately clean and comfortable. Extremely comfortable beds and lovely showers. Liz was a highly considerate host. Provided recommendations of local pubs and very kindly offered the children the chance to see the tractors on the farm. Perfect location for access to York and the gorgeous countryside around it. So peaceful and quiet, ideal for relaxing after busy days exploring. I would thoroughly recommend if you’re looking for a calm retreat that’s still close and accessible to explore York and surrounding areas!

  • Helen

    It was fabulous. The location was beautiful and a good central point from which to drive out across the county. The house was well equipped, spotlessly clean, comfortable and beautifully presented. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here.
