A cosy little property nestled in peaceful countryside. Just right for a short break... and spending our evenings watching the adult swallowed and Martins swooping in the courtyard to catch insects, to then feen their young, just topped it off

The property really needs a good renovation. There was a damp smell in the bathroom, we understand the age of the property but was not nice.The mattress on the double bed was very uncomfortable. There were some good appliances. The shower was very good.It's very basic, and do able, but wouldn't be everyone's cuppa a tea.

This cottage was a cow byre 200 years ago and was converted in 2001. The accommodation is basically comfortable - including the bed - but not luxurious: my payout for your four night stay was £165.12p I am glad the Shower was good. Helen

Great location, easy to reach the N Y Moors and coast.Pleasant cottages set round a courtyard with lots of birds to watch.Probably time for a refurb. Shower was great but lino flooring well past its use.Kitchen crockery and cutlery needs an upgrade from the ill assorted ancient items in the cupboards.It was a good price but you got the level you paid for.

I’m glad that you enjoyed some things about your holiday. I was available to hear your thoughts and am a bit disappointed that you didn’t share them with me when I asked if everything was alright. Perhaps you need to go somewhere more upmarket next year. Helen.

A great stay in a beautiful location

An attractive property, that was fully equipped with everything that we needed. We were a group of five with three generations staying at the property. There was plenty of space, and everyone loved our time there. The location is relaxing and peaceful, but central enough to allow us to visit attractions across the area.
