Reviews
"We had a lovely stay, it was great for wheelchair users, wide doors, big bathroom, and a wet room.. It was lovely having a big table so we could all eat together and still room in the kitchen...having the big gardens so the children could run around and play. A great central location for sight seeing... Will defiantly return in the future Thank you"
"Firstly it would be worthwhile phoning the management before arrival if any special needs are required to facilitate all having a quiet relaxing holiday. Secondly the accommodation is sited in a very good position just off the A19 before reaching the City of York. This means that access to nearby towns, the Yorkshire dales, the Yorkshire moors and the East coast beaches is within easy reach. The holiday was quiet and relaxing. The managers, Peggy and Rod, were willing to provide anything required to make the holiday pleasing. They are a cheerful couple and pop round for a cheerful chat. Peggy's chocolate cake goes down very well too. Spiflicating!"
"Wonderful stay - Wonderful hosts - Pets made very welcome - everything to hand - will stay again !!"
"The owners, Rod and Peggy, made us most welcome from the very start. Peggy had even left milk and a Chocolate cake in the fridge for us, and Rod came over to the cottage to explain everything, even though we arrived very late at night. The accommodation was spotlessly clean, spacious, and warm. The facilities were great with ample parking and the cottage had good WiFi connection too. The cottages are on a quiet road just off the main road to York, and very conveniently located for access to the University, which was our reason for being there. We will definitely be back."
