We had an amazing week staying at West Mill Cottage. The cottage was very comfortable and very well equipped. It was lovely to arrive and receive a gorgeous welcome basket and have fresh flowers. It was lovely to see the owner pop by a few times to make sure we were okay and had everything we needed. I will miss the views and watching the horses. This Cottage is well located to explore York and areas of the Moors and coast. I would definitely recommend and hope to stay again in future.
