Superb cottage in immaculate condition. Would have coped with four people easily, although there were only two of us. Everything was spotless, it was incredibly well equipped (apart from no scissors which it turns out we use far more than we realised!). We would suggest that recycling instructions are provided - we googled them for the area and hope we got it right, but this is unusual these days. Very central location for exploring. We visited Whitby , Ripon and York. Closer to home we would recommend Staveley nature reserve and a wander into Boroughbridge, which has so many independent shops, including five bakeries and an amazing butcher.
