Ideal location for exploring what the area has to offer. We loved the log burner it was a great touch! Day trip to stump Cross caverns is certainly a must, about an hour with stunning scenery throughout the whole journey We visited Aysgarth falls only 30 mins away, Bolton Castle on the way back Richmond 15 mins away , beautiful little city, visited the castle ,lots of views/shops and plenty of places to eat, followed by a walk along the river swale. Bought a pork pie from the noted pie shop, best we had ever tasted. Catterick 5 mins away, has 2 small shopping centres , with Tesco, shoe zone, poundstretcher and Iceland to name a few, also an Aldi for all.essentials. has a couple of pubs/ fish and chip shop that serve food and a McDonald's and KFC Ideal location for some mystery walks , we are not avid walkers however we did x2 6 mile round walks , finding little streams and beautiful scenery Conclusion: we enjoyed thoroughly, not our usual type of holiday, however beautiful cottage worth every penny with fantastic scenery close by.

“We loved it, so comfy and everything you could need in the cottage.”

Close to Catterick and Leyburn where the main supermarkets were.A very quiet village, so lovely and play park down the road for the kids and thry loved splashing in the ford which runs through the village. Washing machine a bonus ,got loads washed and dried whilst we was there .The hubby loved the log burner too.

Mrs Shellard August 2019

“The cottage was cosy, comfortable and met our needs.”

My children were thrilled by the nearby Ford and park. We also had a timid visitor - Dennis the cat. The location was perfect for sightseeing. Forbidden Corner, Hawes, Brimham Rocks, Wensleydale Creamery and James Herriot museum suited all of us.

Mr Walker June 2019

“Although the cottage is pet friendly and is comfortable for humans it should be noted that the village of Hunton has no dog exercise areas within the village itself as dogs are not allowed on the village green or various grassed areas.”

Mr Watson April 2019

“The cottage was a good size for us, comfortable, clean, and by the looks of it recently decorated.”

The village itself is central to a number of attractions, and we didn't have to travel far to visit them. We found a number of pubs that are dog friendly and serve good food. The Kings Head in Richmond, The Wyvil in Constable Burton, and The Countryman Inn next door to the cottage. Enjoyed the week away from home, and would consider going back in the future.

- Mr Watson, April 2019
Mr Gibson March 2019

Thank you.

- Mr Gibson, March 2019
Mr Hind March 2019

“The cottage was lovely.”

Very clean and comfortable and it was in a lovely village. Only down side was not knowing that the mobile signal was very poor but that was minor compared to the overall package. Lovely touch to have some of the basics to greet us so we were able to have a cuppa before unloading the car.

- Mr Hind, March 2019
Mr Franklin March 2019

Mr Mcgregor February 2019

- Mr Mcgregor, February 2019
Mr Jay January 2019

“The opening hours of the local shop seem unpredictable.”

If you’re arriving late make sure you’ve got some supplies with you (and this includes some fuel and kindling for the fire if it’s cold). It’s a very cosy and clean cottage and the next door pub we’re friendly and welcoming and only closed when you went home!

- Mr Jay, January 2019
Ms O'neil January 2019

“The cottage was really nice.”

The welcome pack of milk eggs and bread was a lovely surprise. The owners had gone the extra mile leaving condiments, cling film tin foil etc. The pub next door opens at 6 pm the food is all home cooked and although menu limited it was delicious. The only prob we had was being too hot over night as heating kept coming on. The cooker is an induction hob and could do with an idiots quick guide. The oven took forever to heat up. Would definitely stay again. Great location for Leyburn, middleham, etc. Thanks k

- Ms O'neil, January 2019
Mrs Silmon December 2018

“When speaking with owner we only then found out that it didn’t have a proper garden for the dog, this would have made us think again about booking this venue.”

Apart from that couldn’t fault the property or location.

The welcome pack of bread, milk, locally sourced eggs and a supply of tea bags and coffee was a lovely surprise as was the freshly cut flowers.

Mr Perkins October 2016

“Lovely cottage well set out .”

But there were no instructions for the hob cooker,kept going of,very frustrating.the log fire was lovely but could do with a poker to push the logs in and could do with a tin bucket to empty ash in,all round it was very nice.

- Mr Perkins, October 2016
Mr Simmonds September 2016

“We had a problem with the central heating boiler when we arrived on the Saturday evening.”

The owners managed to contact a plumber who arrived at 9 a.m. on the Sunday morning and replaced a component. The owners also arrived shortly afterward to ensure that the problem had been resolved. I don't know how they persuaded the plumber to turn out on a Sunday but the fact that they did and that they bothered to drive across themselves to make sure we were happy speaks volumes about the commitment to making their guests comfortable.

- Mr Simmonds, September 2016
Mr Holland July 2016

- Mr Holland, July 2016
Mrs Owens July 2016
