Lovely cottage in a beautiful location with great walks on the doorstep. The enclosed garden makes it perfect for dogs and the proximity to Castle Howard and the Yorkshire arboretum was an added bonus.

Beautiful location and cottage, it needs just a few tweaks, dishwasher not working ,settee in tv room is to low and uncomfortable and there was some dubious stains here and there. We had no fault with the upstairs until the last night when shower stopped working, due to a miscommunicate via the office the maintance man turned up the following day while we were getting dressed after being told it was empty. If these items were rectified would defiantly go back, we will be perhaps book one of the other cottages next time to see how they fare.
