In the area for a wedding

I stayed 2 nights for a friends wedding in the village. The Snug is a nice little place. The accommodation is comfortable and the hosts were superb.

A long weekend catching up with friends and family around the area. It’s very well named; we arrived during storm Amy so very much appreciated our snug little home from home. We appreciated the welcome hamper and enjoyed exploring Riccall. Some imaginative and unexpected design features: we particularly enjoyed the shower!

Scott was an amazing guest! Unfortunately he explained he clicked 1 star rather than the 5 star and then VRbo said they couldn't retrospectively change it...

Wonderful little apartment

The property had everything we need d as we were in the gone lot. Property was clean and stocked when we first checked in. Lots of wonderful little extras. Fresh bread, butter jam and marmalade. The owners had a bunch of other breakfast items available. Just a wonderful place. We spent 2 weeks total there on and off. Communication was timely with the owner. We will definitely stay again when we come back!!!

Everything was good and convenient for us. A microwave could have a good addition to the property. Also the heating was not excellent especially the bathroom was too cold. Additional fan heater was helpful

5* Break away

Wonderful host, beautiful space to stay like home from home which had everything you need. Lovely area but very few places to eat likely due to covid and the restrictions. But nothing stopped us jumping on the bus into York City centre. 5* highly recommended

Superb cottage

One of the best cottages I have stayed in and Claire really had thought of everything. Provisions were first rate. And much appreciated. Wonderfully equipped and the toiletries were fabulous. Very comfortable especially the bed. Highly recommended. I only wish I was staying longer. I would definitely return. Thank you Claire!

A lovely, cosy studio room with room to sit down and eat at tables plus excellent kitchen and bathroom with everything you might need . Welcomed with a hamper of lovely food, including delicious home made flapjacks plus cereal and milk of our choice, plenty of tea, coffee, butter, sugar, eggs, cheese, even croissant, bread and pain au chocolat, beers and orange juice. Claire, the owner, made us feel so welcome and provided all the info we wanted on the area, where to eat, where to visit, where to run, would highly recommend the 'Snug'.

Very clean and tidy.

We were very surprised with the additional items that Claire had waiting for us at The Snug. While our main focus was on visiting York, we really enjoyed the interaction with the local community as we travelled on the route 415 bus. Dining in Riccall was also a treat, The Italian Restaurant was top class and The Hare and Hounds was a great local. Claire was a great host and looked after all our needs.
