Owners were very friendly. Cottage was fairly easy to find even on the first night in the dark! Was in a good location for us with lots to do. Had Xbox, pool table, darts, kids toys, games and an outside play area with trampolines, slides, swing etc. Location was really good for us. Really close to Pickering and Thornton-le-Dale. We all had a lovely time. This has been our favourite cottage so far.

Lovely helpful hosts not imposing but there if needed and the welcome treats were appreciated, the smell of a freshly baked loaf of bread as you enter was lovely. I would highly recommend this property and the size of the property against the price it is great value for money. Really enjoyed our stay Thank you.
