What our customers say about their holidays

  Maple House like Mary Poppins is practically perfect in every way.

  The property was spotless and felt like a home away from home. The bed and sofa were very comfortable, the kitchen had everything you would need to make a meal and was fully fitted with most things you would need. It lacks a freezer and a washing machine but I've been in cottages that had these and never used them because I'm on holiday. The back garden was small but got the sun for most of the day and a patio set was provided. Amazingly enough so was the sun. The cottage is located in the prettiest part of the village and was very peaceful. I stayed alone and felt very safe. It is convenient for the community shop and the White Horse which does the most fantastic Sunday Roast. Don't order a starter as you will never finish it. A short walk out of the village takes you to East Leeds Airport which has a cafe where you can watch the dinky little planes. There is an hourly train service into York from the nearby station which takes less than 15 minutes. All in all it was a very relaxing holiday. I even potted a few balls on the miniature snooker table.

  The cottage had everything you could ask for when you book a week away celebrating our Pearl Wedding Anniversary, to relax, catch up with friends and play a game of two of golf.

  The welcoming pack was a lovely idea, as was everything else made available to us during our stay. a big thank you to Melissa and her family they all made you feel so welcome. The cottage totally exceeded our expectations, really nice furniture and fittings and lovely and warm inside as the weather for our week was dry and sunny it was still very cold outside. we spent hours watching the family of squirrels leaping from branch to branch along the trees in front of the cottage as well as all the little robins, wrens, and doves feeding from the bird stand. The pictures of the cottage do not do it justice as the views across the golf course first thing in the morning when everything is covered with the early morning mist and then late in the evening when the winter sun was setting the scene's were purely idyllic. The city of York is only a short distance away as is the designer centre and Monks cross all great places for shopping. We will definitely be returning and hope to get in a few more rounds of golf than we did.

  Beautiful house.

  Fabulous decor throughout. We loved staying there and very close to our friends that live near by. Property was very spacious and clean. Very quirky. Beds were super comfortable. Bathroom was huge and loved the shower. Private parking in gated courtyard kept cars safe. Owners restaurant across the road is superb. Portions were huge. Few things that would’ve improved our stay would have been a downstairs toilet instead of having to go upstairs, another tv perhaps in the kitchen/conservatory so the oldies can watch one while the teens watched something else and a couple of items that I missed in the kitchen was a potato peeler and a potato masher. These would have improved our stay but it was still excellent and we will not hesitate to return again.

  As a group of friends we tend to book a cottage close to Christmas for a pre get together.

  This one was convenient as it was closer than our usual destinations. It most certainly did not disappoint. From the very off the owner was very attention, nothing was too much trouble for him. He went above and beyond to make all 6 of us feel comfortable. The house was immaculate and very well equipped with all the mod cons. The log fire was great given how cold it is in December. The beds were extremely comfortable. The area is nice, quiet and relaxing. There is an Italian restaurant over the road which I would highly recommend. La anchor. Overall I cannot complain about absolutely anything. We’ve had a wonderful time and most certainly will love to return. Thank you to the owners for the personal touches. This place is a hidden gem.

  Just returned from from a week in this wonderful property.

  I cannot fault it in any way. Hol cotts are often let down by being shabby - not here! We've stayed twice now & each time it was immaculately clean, with all quality furnishings. We chose to sleep in the single beds - so comfortable & clean!! The setting is very, very peaceful with a lovely outlook onto mature trees. We sat outside watching an array of birds feeding on the bird feeder, including a regular woodpecker and squirells. There are lovely strolls to be had around the site & a lovely wood to walk in, our dog loved it here. We visited York every day - 20 min drive (outside of rush hour).Then returning to the Granary after was so comfortable with perfect peace. A wonderful property 10/10. Thank you to the owner Mellissa
