"Front door was so difficult to open as its a wooden door and i have arthritis in my hands so not great"
I am so sorry to hear that you struggled with the door, I wish you had given us a call and we would have come and fixed it for you. We will ensure it is planed off and easier to open. Thank you for your feedback!

"The property was absolutely amazing and so well equipped."
My only criticism was parking. It may be that I missed this but travelling alone, with a very needy dog, I struggled to manage her and sort all my luggage because I had to park further down the street. There were 2 fiat 500s parked outside the whole time and there just wasn't enough space for me to get on the end without blocking the driveway.
I appreciate that there is probably little the owners can do to sort this but thought it worth mentioning.
I am so sorry you had a difficult time parking. The driveway further up is being refurbished so it has tightened things up even further than normal.
The cars belong to the houses behind the cottage, unfortunately all built before we all had cars so no parking spaces.
Thank you for being so understanding!

"Lilac Cottage is a lovely cottage that had everything we needed."
The downstairs bathroom is a major plus. I felt so comfortable having my dog there as I felt he was as welcome as I was. It was quiet and we were could sit in either the front or back garden and enjoy it (we chose the front, so we could enjoy the sunshine in the late afternoon) The Plough is a short walk up the street and we had a lovely chat with the gentleman behind the bar who was very welcoming. We enjoyed the local area and thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will definitely come back to Lilac Cottage. Thank you.
We are so happy to hear you and your dog enjoyed your stay! Thank you so much for choosing us!

"Fab welcome pack, loved the eggs!"
Comfy bed and lounge! Well situated, easy on street parking! Amazing shower although did leak through the ceiling a bit, kitchen sink tap also leaked a bit!
Thank you for such a positive review. The tap has now been fixed but the shower is a puzzle. We have a small window between bookings so we aim to get it sorted. Thank you for choosing our little cottage.

"What a fantastic cottage, warm and cosy - and it was proper cold out the week we were there."
Great shower, lovely comfy bed, and a great kitchen with full sized fridge. Thank you for the welcome pack - especially the little cakes, one with a candle! Lovely thought to have not only provided us with raw organic milk, but also left us with directions on how to find the farm - we re-filed the bottle once, and then took 2L home with us too! Perfect location for great dog walking country. We will recommend, and hope to come back again soon.
Thank you so much for choosing our little cottage and we are so glad you enjoyed your stay. Thank you for such a positive review, we hope to see you again one day. Thankyou

only minor point it would have been nice to turn the lights down when relaxing in the evening watching TV.
Thanks for the goodies greatly appreciated.

It was very lovely but could do with a few more mirrors and it is not very good for disabled people I think that you need to put that into your advertising struggled a bit with the stairs
Hi, thank you so much for your suggestions and we will definitely make an update on the advert. More mirrors, we can see to that. Thank you!

"We had a long weekend here for our anniversary
The cottage is really clean and well maintained in a lovely area."
The local pub eating house is literally a 5 minute walk from the cottage . I would certainly think about using this for a longer time next time because it is a lovely area with so much to see.
Thank you so much for your review, we are so glad you enjoyed your stay and do hope to see you again one day!

"Comfortable and well equipped cottage."
Unfortunately the water heater failed at the beginning of our stay (probably before we arrived) but was repaired the same day that we reported it so we were able to enjoy the excellent separate shower in the bathroom.
Wombleton is a good base for Rievaulx Terrace and Abbey, Nunnington Hall and Helmsley, Pickering and Scarborough castles as well as the North York Moors Railway.
There a handy circular walk past the pub and back down Page Lane for anyone with a dog (with 3 dog pooh bins). At dusk there are bats in Page Lane.
Thank you so much for your review, we are so glad you enjoyed your stay!
