Beautiful cottage, stunning location, peaceful break amazing host

Beautiful area and views what a stunning location, so peaceful with a morning walk around the WW2 aerodrome and seeing hares running over the fields. Amazing property perfectly proportioned for a holiday. Lots of space for my family of 4 one being a dog. High end property fittings adding to the luxury of the holiday, with Laura Ashley bedding and towels. Claire was an excellent host, nothing was too much trouble, she is warm, friendly and accommodating. A good location central to visit York, Pickering, Harrogate, Richmond, Knaresborough Castle, Whitby and a really good museum called the Eden Camp Modern Museum. We had a great week and would definitely return

Location was perfect, in the middle of nowhere but close enough to visit places and for shopping. The cottage was homely and clean and tidy and Claire had thought of everything that you would need to stay there and was the perfect host.

Beautiful little cottage

Such a lovely cottage. My daughter is autistic and trying to find somewhere that was close to amenities and things to do for the right price, and this cottage was everything and more. It had everything we needed and offered more by the host if we needed.

Idyllic area, perfect cottage and host, with easy access to York centre.

Perfect! One of the best places we've stayed to be honest. Claire the owner is one of the nicest people you will ever meet and was alway on hand if we needed anything. The cottage is beautiful, everything you need is there and the rooms are beautifully decorated. The beds are very comfy and it's nice and quiet. It's situated in a lovely rural area, and only 20 minutes drive into the centre of York. We will definitely return, can't recommend it enough!

We travelled for a family wedding and stayed in the 1 bed cottage. After a 3 and a half hour car journey, opening the door to the cottage was a breath of fresh air. It felt like home from home. It was immaculate, had everything you needed for your stay and it was so cosy…. Most importantly …. I love to see hoover lines. The hosts thought of everything from comfort to convenience! Parking facilities were great, and the grounds felt safe. We can’t wait to come and stay here again! Thank you to the lovely hosts for the notes/area recommendations before arrival and for making us feel so welcome. We really enjoyed our stay! :)

Well‑Equipped accommodation and outstanding hosts

We were a family of six (inc. dog) staying across two of the cottages, and each one was beautifully newly renovated and the bedrooms felt like a boutique hotel. The cottages are really well kitted out – it’s clear the hosts have thought of absolutely everything. When we had an issue with the boiler, James arrived immediately and had it fixed within minutes. The hosts were excellent throughout and provided a really helpful list of things to do in the area. The location is ideal: very convenient for getting into York while still wonderfully quiet and rural for hiking. Highly recommend!

Super Cottage

Very comfortable beds! Everywhere was super clean. Really well equipped overall. Great location as very peaceful but only a few mins drive to P&R which made getting into York nice and easy. Local pub in Sutton on the Forest did lovely food and very pleasant staff.

Cracking countryside retreat, comfortable and clean.

Rural setting, log burner and very well equipped property. The host is very attentive and generous with free welcome drinks and nibbles. Super find at a busy time of the year, booking was made whilst up in York visiting our daughter at York uni. Thank you.
