“We loved the property for its serene rural location in Yorkshire, surrounded by beautiful open farmland that offers stunning scenery. The cosy, relaxing feel of the cottage created a welcoming atmosphere, and the thoughtful layout made it both charming and functional. It felt like the perfect escape, blending comfort with the beauty of nature.”

The location was perfect for us as we were visiting family. It was a lovely traditional cottage, full of character, beautiful views with sheep and horses along with a babbling stream at the back of the property. Joanna, the lady I was communicating with via email, prior to arriving was very warm and friendly. We requested to arrive earlier than check in and this was no trouble at all. There was milk and biscuits waiting for us on arrival and fresh flowers too which was a lovely surprise. We had a problem with the heating on the evening we arrived but felt it was too late to bother Anne and Stuart (these were the people to contact if there were any issues) so I text them on Saturday morning and then tried calling them later in the afternoon as I'd had no response. I couldn't get any answer when calling and then sent Joanna an email which luckily and thankfully, she responded to even though it was late on Friday afternoon, and promptly sorted it out for us. This was very much appreciated.

− The microwave had quite a lot of rust on the inside of the door and we therefore couldn't and didn't use it for that reason as felt it was unsafe. Some of the kitchen equipment was damaged (spatula was melted, lid missing on breadbin,) which made them unusable. Frying pan was dented and had seen better days. Shower curtain had a hole in it and bath was badly stained. Bathroom feels very tired. We couldn't resolve the issue with the heating ourselves as there was no instruction/guide left which would have indicated this as we had then presumed it was on a timer as there was no thermostat/control in the cottage. Although this was sorted very swiftly by providing us with the portable control panel, due to it being autumn/winter months, we'd have expected this to be available without having to contact the host. A light at the front of the property would be very beneficial as the lane gets very dark and has a constant stream of cars using it, lots of which were at speed during the evening/night. The above are by no means a complaint as we'd definitely stay there again, they are just a true reflection of what we found in the cottage and constructive feeback for what would make it perfect for the future.

Lovely cottage and fabulous area. We had everything we needed. Would have liked to stay longer.

A short stay to catch up with friends. A home from home.
