  Location Likes.

  Amazing location away from main roads which was extremely quiet. Just 50 minutes drive to Scarborough snd very close to York. Lovely kitchen to a very high standard with well equipped utensils (lacking a pizza cutter was the only missing item) Bed is very comfortable and bigger than a super king size. Bathroom has a large walk-in shower with swirlflush toilet. The views are stunning looking out over a beautiful countryside with the enclosed garden being a god send for our Beagle who like to 'explore' so keeping him safe. The following are dislikes. Sofas are very small and uncomfortable spoiling the comfort when relaxing. Needs a corner sofa where you can relax properly. There is a driveway to the owners storage yard which is a few feet away from the window, wrecking privacy when vans drive past or delivery vehicles looking in (careful if sitting in your pants lol as you'll be seen). Hot tub in garden is over looked by owners property which really didn't make us feel comfortable using it. Kitchen has a great extraction for the hob with a metal outlet pipe going outside, sadly the outlet to this has a nonreturn flap which keeps flapping down on reverse wind causing a loud tapping like someone's tapping the windows which can disturb the dog or you if your a light sleeper like me. This was really annoying. The fridge freezer has a faulty solenoid which keeps making a loud click when the thermostat cycles on and off which again causes sleep issues. The fencing and or gate is loose in its housing and thus when there's a slight wind, there is a rattle back and forwards causing the iron mongery to rattle. There was a lovely welcoming hamper which was amazing, the wife got me to by a caffetier because the coffee was that nice. Overall, the property is new and has teething problems. No expense has been spared making this an amazing property. If the things above were to be fixed, I'd definitely return but as it stands I wouldn't return. We didn't meet the hosts, which is what I prefer being a person who like to go on holiday and just enjoy time away quietly. Some hosts can be quite intrusive, but these weren't. Thank you.

  Everything about my stay at Stone Cross was excellent.

  The location is idyllic and there are lots of walks straight from the cottage to the nearby villages. The cottage itself is stunning and had everything I needed for my stay. Everything was exceptionally clean and the cottage feels very light and airy. My dog particularly liked laying at the french doors and watching the world go by. Travelling alone, I am always grateful for nearby parking when having to unload bags and dog etc. and having parting right outside the property is perfect. I didn't use the outdoor area as the weekend was more walking than sunbathing weather but it was nice having an outside area that was secure and I could let the dog out in to. I will definitely be recommending the cottage to friends and family

  Robins Nest is a little bolthole in the country.

  We loved our stay in your little cottage. We were greeted to the most amazing welcome package and a basket full of logs for the log fire as well as having a beautiful Christmas tree sparkling in the corner. Kitchen was fully stocked of equipment, shower was amazing and the beds were so comfortable. Not far from the busy streets of York which we visited on Saturday but our favorite day was walking around Pocklington, we had lunch at the Wolds Cafe, absolutely delicious and found a gem of a shop called Dilly Dally which is full of treasures. We will most definitely return.

  Booked very last minute but if I’d of known about the place sooner would’ve booked ages ago!

  Highly recommend for any couples wanting a get away! We are very picky when choosing places but rising sun was everything we wanted. Every little detail is spot on and perfect size place to stay. Very out of the way if you want somewhere to relax and chill out. the hot tub is a great size and the fire inside is an added bonus on a night! The bed is very comfy and the area around is silent on a night so get a great sleep. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting somewhere to stay in the area or just for anyone who needs a get away! Will 100% return!

  Had a fantastic stay at the Rising Sun!

  Everything was to a high standard, clean and tidy. Warm when we arrived and hot tub was clean and ready to go. The host kept in touch with us throughout our stay, even topped up the logs when we needed and had the tub warm for when we returned from been out for the day. Location is spot on! Lots of lovely places to visit nearby and shops around the corner. Site was maintained to a high standard, easy to get to and very clear instructions on how to get there Couldn't have been more perfect! Will definitely book again!
