  • "We very much enjoyed our stay at Middlecroft, the property was very comfortable and had everything we needed."

    It was nice to have a full sized kitchen. Although we'd planned to use the local bus service, we decided to use the Park and Ride from Monks Cross instead which we found very quick. My only gripe was that the kitchen tap was leaking and although we notified the owners, they did not investigate it. This resulted in us turning off the hot tap supply most days, to prevent a great deal of wasted water. That aside, we would stay hear again.

  • "This is our first time staying at this property which was perfect for our short stay over the Easter break."

    It is in a great location to visit the area and to go into York itself. Has everything you need and the garden is secure at the back for out little dog. Make sure you say hello to Wolfie when he pops his head up at the fence - he is so friendly. Definitely would recommend a stay here.

    Home from home. Thank you Tracey we loved it. It was ideal for the bus into York and we did not have to use our car once on our short stay.

  • "The house was lovely and great for visiting York and surrounding areas."

    Really comfortable beds and a convenient, quiet location. The only slight niggle, and it is very slight, was there was nowhere to hang coats. We had a lovely stay, thank you.

    Lovely accommodation, great location for us and would stay again, comfy beds only small things - pair of kitchen scissors and maybe an anti-slip mat for the bath/shower we also didn't realise there was a downstairs toilet until our last day as I don’t think this was on the listing

    It was also in a very good location. We did update the information left about York as a lot was out of date. Overall we were very pleased with our choice.

  • "Beautifully presented and comfortable holiday home in a fab location for visiting York."

    Great to have a large fridge and washing machine staying for a week. Would be even better with a chopping board to protect the surfaces and an oven mitt. Appreciated the little touches of having soap provided for in all bathrooms and the kitchen and tea, coffee and sugar available. Nice area to sit out in at the back and the kids were happy Netflix was available. Will definitely book again. Thanks.

    Lovely accomodation. Everything we needed was there. Dog friendly with enclosed garden which was important. Would stay there again when visiting area.

  • "A really nice house, thoughtfully furnished and clean and tidy."

    It was all as described and the off street parking was good too. It is not the property's problem, but there were broadband cable engineers digging up the road right outside from 8am every day, so that wasn't ideal from a noise and walking or driving around point of view. We found the sofas uncomfortable, but that is probably just us, the tea and coffee were appreciated, perhaps some salt and basic condiments as well would have been nice. Overall, it was a good base for our holiday, thank you.
