  • "Visited early December - Xmas tree & fairy lights greeted us on arrival."

    We had a wonderful stay, great welcome hamper, very peaceful & a good location for travelling around. Property was in good condition, well equipped & extremely comfortable beds & pillows. We knew the hot tub was wood fired as the property description clearly stated this but there were a few comments in the visitor book about it. I’d definitely recommend & we would book again.

    Many thanks for leaving such kind feedback, we were so pleased to hear you had & wonderful break. Best wishes Joanne & Steve Property Owner

  • "Great weekend stay."

    Property is definitely worth a visit. Ideally located for a walk into Pocklington or a visit to York. 3 great sized bedrooms , modern shower rooms and a living space big enough for 6 people to chill. Has all the cooking facilities you need and a dishwasher so no time wasted on chores! The welcome hamper was fabulous and a great surprise. Wood based hot tub took time to master and heat up so a small niggle and we'd know next time. We will be back x

  • "The place was perfect, but if some flowers or plants, be them real or artificial, would have been down the side or even near the hot tub, that would have given some colour when sat out."

    Other than that no problems and would go again.

    Thank you so much for your kind feedback. We were glad to hear you had a lovely time & will definitely take your suggestion on board. Best wishes Joanne & Steve Property Owner

    It is set in a rural location and the quality of the fittings and furnishings is first class. It's warm and comfortable and the hot tub is a bonus. There's lots to do in the area. I am happy to recommend this property.

  • "Absolutely delighted with our stay in Peacock’s Rest."

    The best cottage we’ve ever stayed in. Beautifully decorated with so many thoughtful touches. The lovely hamper for us and our dog was a lovely surprise and very welcome. We really enjoyed the hot tub! Situated in a quiet rural lane meant good dog walks. We really liked nearby Pocklington which had all the facilities you’d need. It was also a good base from which to explore further afield - York, Harrogate, Scarborough as well as beautiful wood and river walks. Thank you for our lovely stay.

    Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such kind feedback. We were so pleased to hear how much you had enjoyed our little cottage & the lovely area surrounding us. We do hope you will be able to return in the near future. Best wishes Joanne & Steve Property Owner

    We had a really comfortable stay in an excellently maintained property. We were a group consisting of three generations and it was suitable for all of us. The location was ideal for exploring the area. We hope to come and stay again sometime.

  • "This cottage is absolutely beautiful and the owners are incredibly helpful."

    The design of the cottage is very well thought out with the kitchen/dining/living area set up for real comfort for 6 adults and the bedrooms being separated from that space and all having en-suites means 3 couples can enjoy time together and still have their own separate comforts. Everything has been meticulously thought through from the really well kitted out kitchen and the layout to the beautiful decor. The garden is great (completely sealed so the dog is safe from escape!) and the hot tub is really lovely. Nice quiet setting and a short drive to Pocklington. Couldn’t recommend this higher for friends or family wanting a break. Thank you Joanne and Steve
