“A Beautiful Property”
Beautiful private relaxing place with beautiful surroundings. We had a lovely stay and the potting shed has everything you need for a short stay and was exceptionally clean and comfortable. We walked to the park and ride along an old cycle path which was a lovely walk of around 2 miles and took less than an hour. Nick & Margie were lovely hosts and just left you to it and were on hand if you wanted anything. We would highly recommend if you were visiting bustling York.

“An excellent place to stay with gorgeous breakfasts.”
Beautiful place. Breakfasts are excellent. As a person with a walking disability, the owners gave me advice on the steps to gain access. Which helped me a lot . My only concern was the toilet which was a bit low. I did struggle. Everything else was great and I would recommend this place.

“A perfect stay in the outskirts of beautiful York”
Excellent location and exceptionally clean! Everything you could possibly need for a short stay, including breakfast (at your preferred time) which came in a beautiful basket at the door. A real credit to the owners, Nick and Margie.
