Previous visitors' comments about Seaves Cottage:

Although Seaves cottage was a little further from York than I had expected it was perfect. We had a car and we were perfectly placed to see the surrounding countryside and coast as well as easy drives into York itself. It was great.

Brilliant holiday, such a relaxing place to be.
Mrs Harris, Abingdon, November 2012

Lovely cottage, the best I have stayed in. Owner very welcoming and friendly. The pies they produce are delicious!
Mrs Sobic, Tarporley, July 2012

We thought Seaves Cottage was a first class accommodation and the owners and family were most welcoming. We look forward to another visit.
