  • "The owner had thought of everything to ensure your comfort."

    A really lovely lady. The accommodation is in a quiet country lane on a big farm. The lounge looks out onto fields with sheep to watch. Very quiet and only a few miles from a large supermarket with everything you might need - food petrol and they have a small cafe. All on one floor, no stairs, all very clean and-well presented. Perfect.

  • "This was a wonderful property ."

    Clean tidy . Everything you may need was there. Exceptional space . New and modern design . I must say that this has been the best spacious cottage we have stayed in . Patio doors opening to a beautiful view . Although it's close to the road we found it to be fairly quiet . We enjoyed our stay very much.

  • "Wonderful holiday cottage."

    Beautifully decorated and spotlessly clean. Well equiped kitchen with everything you need. The bed was so comfortable. Large bathroom with a huge bath and a really great shower. Only very small negative was that we couldn't sit out on the terrace because of the smoke from the chimney in one of the farm sheds but other than that it was perfect. It is a working farm at the end of the day.

  • "A lovely cottage, well situated for exploring York, Harrogate, Ripon, Ilkley, Ottley, Wetherby, and so on."

    It is very spacious, equipped with everything we could possibly need, with commanding views to the countryside. We did have a little concern before arriving that it might be cold inside this time of year with the temperature dropping as it is, but, this was misplaced - it was stifling on entry, and we had to turn the heating down! After a little while it was just right, and stayed like it all week, very pleasant indeed. Thermostatic valves on all the (numerous) radiators made it very controllable, and I think even in sub-zero temperatures it would be lovely and comfortable. We will certainly stay here again when holidaying in this area next, highly recommended.

    The cottage is 5* throughout, the bathroom is amazing and the kitchen is equipped with all equipment you could wish for and more besides. Pat and Duke are very accommodating and always around should you need anything. The views from the patio are fantastic, we saw Red Kites very close to the property. A definite must for eating out is the Shoulder of Mutton at nearby Kirkby Overblow. The service is very good and the staff are friendly and helpful, happy to discuss the menu and have a chat. Ripley and Knaresborough are definitely worth a visit. You will not be disappointed with this cottage and will enjoy every minute of your stay. Quiet and peaceful, this is a great place to relax and unwind.

    I only marked down the comfort because the bed was two singles pushed together. It was a very comfortable mattress. But having a cuddle had to be one side or the other.
