"Very nice cottage , as good as any I have been to."
Much nicer than it looks in the pictures. Quite a long walk into the city centre so was pleased I took my bike with me. York is a fantastic place to visit- very easy to walk around and so much to see and do. I highly recommend York Minster- absolutely stunning.

"The Cottage is perfect for a stay in York."
The property is spotlessly clean, with comfortable beds, everything you need in the well equipped kitchen, including appliances which are straightforward to use, and a cosy lounge. The welcome pack is very generous and the owner is friendly and helpful. Parking is right outside the property with no access issues.
York city centre is a 30 minute walk which can either be through Clementhorpe, with its local shops or along the river. There is also a regular bus service into the city. This was our second visit to The Cottage and it won’t be our last. Brilliant in every way.

"Lovely property very comfortable and only a 40min stroll to the city."
It is situated next to a busy main road but you can't hear the traffic. Its so peaceful. Nice little area to sit outside with an early morning coffee or late evening drink. The owners were very nice and came to say hello. A nice little welcome pack when we arrived everything for a quite needed tea break after a drive and before unpacking.

"This is a perfect 2 bed cottage just 20 min walk into York by the path or part path, and down to the river."
Being just outside the city centre gives easy access to ring roads and touring by car. Or into York station, about 35 min walk for rail travel.

"We would highly recommend the cottage at Manor Farm."
Friendly welcome given all the information needed for our stay plus an amazing complimentary pack & fresh milk in the fridge. We were able to have a cup of tea & a cookie after a long drive. Property easy to find, no satnav issues. I did look at Google Earth to help recognise the main entrance. Property extremely clean and well maintained everything you'd need in a kitchen. Lovely river walk into City of York about one & half miles lots of seats on the way to take in the view. We went on the river trip approx 45 mins & had a walk around the City Walls. Loads of places to eat or have snacks. The city was very busy at the time of our stay but no different to most cities on a Saturday. We will definitely be back for another visit.

"We had a lovely week's stay at the cottage."
We'd been to York many times but hadn't stayed at this side, which is near the racecourse and the site of the previous,Terry's chocolate factory. The cottage was very comfortable and well-maintained. The owner provided a lovely welcome pack of tea, coffee, hot chocolate and cookies too.
There is a small decked area outside the cottage, ideal for sitting out in the evening as we did.
There is a lovely Riverside walk into the centre of York which was about 2 miles which we really enjoyed, if you want to leave the car for the day.
We will definitely book again.

Walking distance into York and easy access further afield via nearby ring road.
Being close to city almost a countryside location and amazing how quiet it is.
Observations and NOT criticism :
An information folder would be useful for facilities and local recommendations etc.
Would prefer a dishwasher rather than the washing machine in kitchen.
A secondary light over bathroom mirror for shaving.
Lastly resolve the availability of Wi Fi.
Many thanks to Matt and Faye.

"This is a great property."
It’s really comfortable, has everything you need and is spotlessly clean. The beds were very comfortable and, most unusually, the duvets weren’t too thick and so we weren’t too hot at night. All the appliances in the kitchen were easy to use, as was the television. All bedding and towels was of a good quality. Easy parking outside the front door.
We really liked the location. It was very quiet and we enjoyed the 40 minute walk into the centre of York. Bishy Road, as the locals call the shopping area on Bishopthorpe Road, has a range of interesting shops, cafes and pubs. There’s also a regular bus service into York and a pleasant riverside walk. In summary we found the property and its location exceeded our expectations and we will be back!

"The cottage at Manor Farm was a warm and comfortable place to stay for an autumn break."
It has an excellent location on the outskirts of York. We did not use the car much - it was easier to take the bus into York or to walk along the riverside path into the city centre. There is no wi-fi in the cottage, but that was not a problem since the phone signal was good and we used the 4G on our phones. I would definitely recommend the cottage as a good place to stay.

It was handy to be near the Park & Ride into York and a Tesco. We didn't use the local Co-op because we couldn't see where one could park!

"Fabulous small bungalow cottage, owned and run by a fabulous family."
It is perfectly located very close to York city for our mini holiday. Just 10 minutes by bus, which stop very close to the cottage, or 25/30 minutes lovely river walk or by taxi
The cottage is on Bridgethorpe Road which is very rural and just a 10 minute walk into the village of Bridgethorpe, where there are are 3 fabulous pubs all serving a good variety of food. The cottage is quiet and quite private. It sits separate from the caravan park. Manor Farm Cottage is one of the best places we have stayed, it has sufficient room for two adults, and is fully equipped with quality furnishings. It has a lovely wet room with underfloor heating, a comfy lounge,and an outdoor eating area which we made full use of. The whole estate is very well looked after and maintained by our perfect hosts who were mega helpful and friendly. They even let us raid their apple tree, which made delicious stroodle and pie when I got home !! Thanks Fay.
