It's an imposing Victorian property which has been renovated to a high standard and is in a superb location. It's just a short walk from the village of Goathland with its lovely tearooms, it has views of the North Yorkshire Moors and easy access to countryside walks, and the wonderful NYMR steam railway runs nearby. The house, which adjoins the owners' home, is spacious, clean and well appointed throughout. A huge highlight for us though, was the beautiful, large garden which surrounds the property, and was a pleasure to wander or to just sit and enjoy, especially as we had such fantastic weather during our stay. Our dog loved roaming and playing in it each day (and the owners' delightful dog Ava was a bonus playmate). We would love to return.

Only slight drawback was the wifi signal in the living room was weak or non existent at times. Kitchen was far better. Most of us accessed newspapers or digital services by tablet. Nonetheless we all had a great time
