The wonderful Riverside Cottage, located within 12 acres of private land, offers a stunning secluded break with uninterrupted views across natural farmland.

The cottage has been stylishly renovated to a high standard and boasts picturesque views across stunning Yorkshire farmland from every window. The South-facing sitting room features patio doors which open onto the delightful garden and an enclosed patio bringing the outside indoors, making al fresco dining an easy option and the perfect place to relax in tranquil surroundings.

The cottage was as per description. Large well equipped kitchen and large dining area. Very quite location. The host was very helpful. We had a great time.
The property was lovely, clean, with everything you could need. Trevor was very welcoming and told us all the best places to go. Amazing welcome pack. Its in the middle of countryside and York is accessible so well placed.
This was a trip for me, my brother, my sister and my daughter, all great friends - but all needing our own space! We loved the layout of the property and the number of bathrooms which gave us all a place to be together and space to be alone. Our host was amazing, nothing was too much trouble and the welcome hamper was the best we’ve had. If you’re looking for somewhere to relax, where you can put your bags down and enjoy the location, where there’s plenty to do locally, but also enough comfort that you’re happy to stay put some days - this is the place for you.
