Guests say
Roecliffe cottage in Boroughbridge is praised for its cleanliness, prime location, and overall comfort. Guests appreciate the proximity to local shops and pubs, as well as the quietness despite being near a busy road. The well-equipped kitchen and weekly cleaning service are noted positives.
The cottage is generally described as very clean, with spotless areas except for a few stains on carpets. Regular cleaning services during longer stays are appreciated.
The location is highly regarded for its convenience to Boroughbridge's centre, local amenities, and attractions in Yorkshire. The quietness despite the proximity to a busy road is a plus.
Comfort is rated well for the living spaces and kitchen. However, several reviews mention uncomfortable mattresses and the lack of a handrail on stairs, which affects the score.
Facilities are generally good with a well-equipped kitchen, but there are negative comments about the lack of certain items like a toaster and dishwasher, and issues with maintenance such as the back door not opening.
There is no mention of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the host, so it is not possible to provide a score in this category.
About this property
Resting in the small town of Boroughbridge is Roecliffe, a charming mid-terrace cottage offering four guests a lovely spot to call home when exploring North Yorkshire. Set over three floors and benefiting from a fronat private outdoor area and a shared courtyard at the rear, Roecliffe makes an excellent touring base for visiting York, Ripon and Harrogate. Be welcomed into the entrance hallway before entering into the attractive sitting room, where a gas fire adds extra warmth in the winter months, and two pink sofas provide somewhere to relax while you enjoy watching TV after a big day. Make your way into the kitchen/diner when you're feeling peckish to rustle up a feast in the fitted kitchen, with further appliances in the adjoining utility area, including a washer/dryer. Head upstairs to find the first bedroom, boasting a king-size bed with plenty of storage for your things, with a bathroom on this floor too, hosting a bath with an overhead shower. Climb another set of stairs to the attic room beneath sloping ceilings, where a double bed sits below Velux windows. Sip your morning coffee in the shared courtyard to start your day before you set off on your first adventures. The cathedral city of York rests less than 20 miles away and is bursting with things to see and do; take a tour of the beautiful York Minster before a stroll around the York City Walls and a trip to Clifford's Tower and the York Castle Museum, or travel further back in time at JORVIK Viking Centre where a Viking village has been replicated including the sights, sounds and smells! Yorkshire Museum is home to five galleries showcasing archaeological treasures, with beautiful museum gardens home to Roman ruins, whilst The York Dungeon, Shambles, and York's Chocolate Story are all well worth visiting too. Head to the spa town of Harrogate for a delightful afternoon tea at the famous Bettys Café Tea Rooms, before exploring the scenic Valley Gardens and The Stray, Mercer Art Gallery and Royal Pump Room Museum. Newby Hall & Gardens is a great day out for families with thanks to the kids' adventure playground here, part of the 25-acre grounds of this Georgian house with a café and shop too. Walkers can delight in hiking through the Howardian Hills AONB and the Nidderdale AONB, with lots of lakes and rivers nearby for some excellent fishing, and of course lots of cycling opportunities along the scenic country lanes. Make memories to last with your loved ones at Roecliffe.

Mattress in loft room uncomfortable, springs felt, also quilt thin for time of year, a throw on bed would work, No frying pan only wok which had nonstick coming off. Front garden states you can enjoy your coffee in the morning, no garden furniture so that is misleading, messy with lots of unattractive pots, all of the front was dirty, could be better with a hand rail for safety. Very strong perfume container in lounge, makes you think it is covering up smells, I canât breath in these as gives headache, if you have asthma it would be a problem. Brilliant location near town and quiet.

parking on the road outside was easy. However, there was no house information at all, I had to ring and speak to coastal cottages to get the Wi Fi password. We were unable to open the back door with any of the keys provided , so could not empty the bins, but which also constituted a fire hazard , since the only access was the front door.
