There were spiders and we didn't die from them. The previous guests' comments on such things and whether the place was aseptic were pathetic. We have never known such a generous rental. Hats off to owners, cleaners, gardeners, linen changers, and rental agents - we loved what you provided. There were no comfy reclining chairs for the garden, so we bought two in Leyburn and left them there - when the owner is generous, it behoves us, the renters, to add rather than complain. The local publican is less than friendly, please don't sing his praises. We have no doubt, this was the best rental ever. It really makes a difference when you don't have to worry that the plates, pans, cups etc. might run out. Nespresso is expensive, we understand, but the capsules were there, an outside phone line is a lifeline for emergencies, but it was there, on trust. The ability to override the heating controls when it was cold was superb. The strongest impression was the generous attitude of the owners - almost everything we could want was there, particularly books and dvd's over the region. One suggestion - please frame and hang an OS walking map of the immediate region. So, in sum, brilliant. Please tell the owners, cleaners, linen changers, and gardeners that we felt that.
