  • "The accommodation is charming, very comfortable and a delight to stay in for the week."

    The host is very helpful. The equipment in the cottage is of a high standard and everything needed is provided. The information booklet is clear and easy to understand. This was a second visit and we would love to come again!

    Owners were friendly & welcoming, views were outstanding. Lots of places nearby to visit including York, Whitby & Scarborough and the locals were exceptionally friendly. A 30 minute walk into Easingwold where the George Hotel served amazing food & staff were friendly & welcoming, live music in the village square on Saturdays in the summer months a lovely village atmosphere. Would love to return.

  • "The property is situated in a very quiet rural setting with views out over the surrounding countryside making it ideal for a peaceful holiday."

    At the same time there are some wonderful tourist sites in easy reach such as English Heritage and National Trust properties. A five minute drive takes you to Easingwold for any necessary shopping and good quality eateries. There is also a good Friday market and bus service. The property was warm with the air-source heating and there’s also a log-burner if needed. The decor is light and everything comfortable and modern and if you couldn’t go out would be very pleasant to just stay in. There’s an undercroft area for your vehicle meaning it’ll be dry and frost-free. The kitchen area is perfectly adequate for cooking from scratch. The owner is nearby if you need help with anything at all and very accommodating.

    A wonderful location and the place itself is a decent size with everything you could need for a short or longer stay. Honestly, I just wanted to stay longer, the bed also super comfy! The wine in the fridge was a lovely touch, as were the biscuits, that's very thoughtful, thank you. A few things that would make it even better - An email or listing on Sykes of what condiments are available at the lodge. The Fridge does give off quite a loud hum.
