    Wonderful welcome pack, friendly and happy greetings from owner. We really enjoyed our restful week away; visiting places we saw a number of years ago, Betty’s tea room, York, Ripon and Fountains abbey are all worthwhile J and K

    It was nice to hear the birds first thing on a morning and see the beautiful countryside, especially when it snowed. Would definitely recommend and the hosts were very nice and super helpful asking if I needed anything else and asking if I was warm enough. Also it was nice to have a bottle of wine on check in and plenty of coffee biscuits cereal etc and some nice tulips in a pretty vase. I didn’t want to leave!

    We really appreciated the welcome basket with bits for breakfast and a bottle of wine in the fridge. The little bowl of fresh cherry tomatoes left at the door was a grand surprise. The room was spacious and we loved the birds singing in the morning. If you want a lovely spot in the country this is perfect. For our purposes, it was a bit too far from the areas we wanted to explore.

    Dave & Shirley were very helpful & courteous. The property was extremely clean & the bed was mega comfy. Cooking facilities & utensils were more than adequate. A fantastic area for walkers, & cyclists like myself, with the added advantage of a massive lockup garage to securely leave my e-bike. Mostly open to my expectations. The only downside for me was the WiFi was very poor, although I believe it is in the process of being improved by the Service Provider. I would definitely stay here again as long as the Internet was more stable.

  • "Nice little place and a lovely location."

    Fairly expensive for the space that you got but as one of the cheaper cottages, perhaps this is the going rate! However it was very clean, clearly well looked after and had lots of cleaning stuff available in the current situation, and some really nice touches left by the owners which were really appreciated and above and beyond. Owners were lovely when said hello. Bathroom was decent although if we were taller we might have struggled with the shower with the sloping roof - my husband only just fit at 5'10". Kitchen was well equipped despite no oven. TV had decent amount of channels and WiFi worked. Lots of towels etc. Would be good to have instructions on what to do with the keys when leaving as we weren't sure. Overall a very pleasant stay and enjoyed good food in Boroughbridge.

  • "The Loft is a high quality conversion, well equipped for a short stay for two people."

    We largely enjoyed the surrounding countryside and visited several nearby towns and villages. Unfortunately, the bed, which on first appearance looks quite innocuous, was the most uncomfortable bed we have ever encountered. Neither my wife or I were able to get a good night's sleep in all three nights. In fact, it was so bad that on the third night, we got up at 3.30am and were ready to leave by about 4.30am. This is not what we had planned, had we been sleeping comfortably. All in all, this was not ideal for what we had hoped would be a relaxing short vacation.
