Previous visitors' comments about Monkey Puzzle Place:
The cottage was close to the local shops and amenities. The property was very warm and cosy and the beds are very comfortable.
Mr Rumfitt, Chester Le Street, March 2013
I enjoyed my holiday. The Monkey Puzzle Place was a base for what we needed to do. It was nice, clean, most things was there, bed was comfy, it was nice.
Ms Redman, Doncaster, September 2012
This cottage was set up perfectly for what we needed. We had myself and husband in 1 double room with our son opposite, my parents in the other double and my husbands mum and aunt in the twin room. Cottage was very comfortable, particularly the beds.
Mrs Whitby, Hull, September 2012
The property was better than described, the location was perfect for getting around the local area and the owners were very helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and plan to stay in this particular cottage again.
