“We loved our stay at Martin and Sue's cottage.”

It was very cosy and warm which was perfect for the long winter evenings we spent in the cottage. The freshly baked loaf of bread, wine and other goodies left for us were such a nice welcome. The cottage was very well equipped and had everything we needed to cook dinners at home and relax and unwind.

It was very cosy and warm which was perfect for the long winter evenings we spent in the cottage. The freshly baked loaf of bread, wine and other goodies left for us were such a nice welcome. The cottage was very well equipped and had everything we needed to cook dinners at home and relax and unwind. The place was also cleaned to a very high standard which is so important in times like these. It is in a great location to explore the area, including the Dales, and we enjoyed getting out for walks and bike rides most days! I would happily come back to Markington Grange cottage for another holiday and also highly recommend it to others. Thank you Martin and Sue!

“This was an excellent cottage.”

The little touches like homemade bread and a bottle of wine and other goodies really made us feel welcome. It's a very comfortable spacious property , well planned and laid out. For someone at risk as I am during the pandemic it was the perfect home from home and a great base from which to go out for days out. If the weather is really bad the cottage is also a great place to relax, read watch t.v etc. Thank you Martin and Sue !

Mrs Heading June 2019

“From the brochure photos we did expect a lovely cottage, but we were more amazed when we arrived.”

The property is modern and was clean and comfortable - absolutely everything that was necessary for a terrific stay. The owners were lovely and made us feel very welcome and were not intrusive during our stay. They told us "they were there" if we needed anything. With the property so terrific, we didn't need a thing. The thoughtful extras that the owners left us as a "welcome" were a great surprise. I couldn't praise this property enough.

- Mrs Heading, June 2019
Mr Chandler June 2019

“A delightful cottage ideally placed for visiting Harrogate, Ripon, York and the Dales.”

Cosy and well equipped. The owners kindly supplied bread, milk, butter, bottle of wine, tea, coffee and sugar to get us started when we arrived which was much appreciated.

- Mr Wood, June 2019
Mr Piercy May 2019

“The owners had provided everything we needed .”

Little thoughtful touches were everywhere we looked. Although they were next door they were not intrusive but encouraged us to ask if we needed anything which we didn't because of their planning. This is the second time we have used your site and both times we were more than pleased with the outcome. The only thing the only thing we don't like is the number of e mails you send out even when we pay in full up front

- Mr Piercy, May 2019
Mr Rose April 2019

“This is a great place to stay because it is located amidst some of the loveable towns of North Yorkshire .”

The return to the cottage is so relaxing and generally quiet apart from the noise of farm machinery, You don't get countryside like this without The drive from our home was pleasant the A1 is the best route and now carries less traffic. To the cottage the owners were very easy to help in any way or advice. The only thing we didn't like was the TV wall location but everything else was fine including the weather A & E Rose

- Mr Rose, April 2019

“Wonderful holiday break at Markington Grange.”

situated between Harrogate and Ripon, excellent base for visiting nearby towns including Knaresborough, Thirsk and York. Set in an area of stunning natural beauty. The accomodation is excellent. Clean and bright. Plenty of space for parking. Rooms are good size and spotlessly clean. Good WiFi signal, but telephone signal not great inside the cottage. Unexpected 'Welcome Pack' including bread and wine. Very happy to recommend and looking forward to returning, probably next year.

This cottage was easy to find off the main road, is very comfortable with everything we require. Everything on one level so ideal for anyone with mobility problems.

- Mr Holmes, June 2015
Mr Finney March 2015

“We love the tranquil setting and being close to a quiet, pretty village with its shop/post office, pubs and old church.”

A pleasant walk down the lane to the main road (approx 15 mins) with its lovely scenery takes you to a frequent and reliable bus service to Ripon, Harrogate and Leeds and runs late in the evening - a path goes all the way down so you can walk in safety but at night take a torch! The cottage is clean cosy and warm, great to get in after a day's walking in the cold or rain. The owners live next door and are friendly and helpful but they never invade your privacy. Good parking space, too. Can recommend.

- Mr Finney, March 2015

“Excellent”

Perfect little cottage. Warm, comfortable, clean and very well equipped. The owners were helpful and pleasant but unobtrusive. The countryside around looks very pretty but it was quite wintery when I was there so I didn't do much exploring. Harrogate and Ripon are 10 minutes away.
