The perfect base for exploring North Yorkshire and one of the best cottages weve ever stayed in. The children loved the toys, books and games - and we all enjoyed the beautiful garden. We had variable weather so didnt get to sit out in it as much as we would have liked, but it at least gave us a chance to justify having the fire on one evening. AndRead more such a brilliantly stocked kitchen (a slow cooker and even bag clips to do up your cereal, coffee etc). Perfect! Hide

We had high expectations from the website and they were exceeded. The cottage is very well equipped and comfortable and in a lovely location. Ideally situated to visit coastal towns and inland attractions. Pretty garden to sit in. The food in the pub (200 yards) is very good. However, it is very popular and gets booked up.
