What our customers say about their holidays

• John - Verified booking

  A quiet and relaxing holiday in a well equipped property.

  We did one or two local walks but excess to the castle ruins in the village is not allowed for obvious reasons. You will know when you see them, however you can circumnavigate them. There are two pubs in Sheriff Hutton but the Castle Inn a few 100 yards away is now closed for the foreseeable future. The Highwayman does a really good Sunday Lunch but we didn't try the pub in the week, cooked a few meals in the cottage. A one woman taxi service exists in the village, see the local magazine. At the end of the road near the Highwayman is a really good cafe, it is called Quarmby's, we highly recommended it for a tasty treat and coffee. Openings, Wednesday. thought to Sunday. The cottage was comfortable and we slept well in a large bed, there is plenty of wardrobe and draw space. No problems with the facilities as there is a folder provided with all the information needed. The internet and mobile signals are good. No major problems, the owner is only a text or call away and is very helpful. I would like take this opportunity to thank her for the food, milk and beverages she provided on our arrival.

  The cottage was extremely cold , heating not set right , we turned it on it took over 4 hours to warm up , apart from this it was a cute little cottage ideal for two .

  nice little extra touches like electric blankets on bed to take of the chill , fluffy blanket to snuggle in really useful . could of had a few extra things in kitchen like a large pot for cooking , colder for straining , wooden spoon and measuring jug for us keen cooks . like the other little touches in kitchen , tin foil for backing very handy all though I did not use it , many times I do a roast dinner so was nice to have this option . the door was extreamly difficult to undo , this was mentioned by other guest in the comments book , so this should be addresses . we loved the very comfy bed , even though it was of a main street it was tucked away enough as not to be noisey . we love Yorkshire , this is about our fourteenth trip and would diffently return to the old forge . there was a nice welcome basket with tea bags , coffee , sugar , bread ect . milk in fridge brilliant could have a cup of tea before stocking up on provision for the week .

  The cottage was a delight.

  The welcome pack was a really nice touch and the homemade jam was gorgeous. The cottage was very clean throughout and the cleaner deserves to be personally thanked. The cottage was spotless. We loved the shower and the rear garden sitting out area. The bed was very comfortable and we had very restful nights. We loved the wooden shutters and the wood burner. We used it once on one chilly evening, but didn't need any wood. Burning the coal that was made up for us, was enough to take the chill away for an hour or so before bedtime. We understood that the cottage had access rights through the neighbours garden (like we do at our own home), but we didn't need to use that rear access. The weather was really good for our holiday break and our dog's feet were cleaned up and dried with towels (provided) at the front of the house. People in the village were very friendly, especially the young man in the stone house to the left beyond Ascot.

  This was a really lovely holiday cottage.

  Every single thing you could think of had been provided (other than facility to do washing) and the use of space had been very well thought out. The steps up to the property and the steep stairs would rule it out for someone not physically able but after I'd got my heavy case up the stairs it was fine (smaller cases would have been better). The only thing I was missing was either a washing machine or spinner and outside line. As I was travelling for 3 weeks, I really needed to wash a few things to keep me going. I found the village delightful, the people were very friendly and the number of walks for myself and my little dog right from the door were amazing. We went to Malton (super dog friendly), York and the wonderful Castle Howard. All within easy reach.

  Lara the owner greeted us on arrival and gave us all the info about this lovely cottage also about the area including the local pubs/post office/Indian restaurant and chip shop all within easy walking distance from the cottage.

  The White bear pub is the place to go for food plus you can take your dog into the bar area. There was fresh milk in the fridge plus in a small hamper there was tea/coffee and chocolate biscuits and leaflets with info about the local area even our small dog molly had a dogs bowl with treats. This lovely cottage had everything that you have at home even heated bed blankets for the chilly evenings. We were about an hour into our 4 hour journey home when my mobile rang it was Lara we had left a bag behind which contained our iPads plus other items so Lara very kindly sent them to us via parcel post. I would highly recommend this lovely private cottage to anyone. Thank you once again Lara for everything. Kind regards Mike,Jackie & Molly
