A lovely cottage in a rural setting

Peaceful beauty in the countryside

The Yorkshire countryside offers beauty and history around every corner, so staying in the midst of it all was top of my list for a recent stay. This lovely converted barn didn’t disappoint. The setting on a gorgeous estate, was a dream to wake up to, complete with the two labs Murphy and Callie visiting for treats. So much to see in such short distances from our base made the vacation one to remember. I’ll definitely be back

Lovely, well thought out barn conversion So cosy and comfortable, yet with plenty of space for everyone. Immaculately clean and with all you woukd ever use in the kitchen. Two lovely ensuite doyble bedrooms. The garden was secure so my little dog coukd not wander off. Great central location. We visited Scarborough, Robin Hood Bay, Kiplin Hall and James Herriot World. Pub down the road serves lovely food. Also, the owner Grayham met us to show us to the property and kindly made our garden sevure so dog could not wander. The welcome basket was absolutely gorgeous. I will have no hesitation in recommending tgis property to family, friends and colleagues.

WOW! What a stay!

We can't say enough about our stay at this absolutely charming cottage near Brearton. We were so pleased by the generous welcome package and even more so by the great instuction book of things to see and do - including a spectacular cross-country hike to the fabulous local pub (highly recommended for Sunday Roast!). A simply picture perfect stay- we will be back next time we are overseas. Mike, Kerri and Aidan - Ottawa, Canada

A beautiful cottage, well presented and everything you need for your stay. A lovely welcome pack too which is a really nice touch. Off the beaten track but for our relaxing weekend that is exactly what we needed but yet still close enough to Knaresborough and Harrogate. Would highly recommend.

Just the ticket!

Rented this lovely cottage for my mothers birthday, wanted a quiet place in the country close to Harrogate. Graham the owner was brilliant, I asked if he could do a couple of things for me to make the place a little more special for my mother - he very kindly put a “happy birthday” banner up, left a little gift, and even his daughter baked a delicious cake! The cottage is centrally located between several places of interest so a great base for all tastes. Will be back!

Idyllic, Bucolic, Wonderful

This property is located in a quiet, rural setting north of Harrogate, England. It is well maintained, met and exceeded all expectations. Two bedrooms with ensuite, kitted out kitchen and working laundry as advertised. We were met with key in door, basket of goodies, horses in the fields and two well trained labradors. We loved it. Thanks of our host Graham who checked in with us and gave pointers about the locale. Loved it as you can tell. If we wonder back to this area, we will certainly look at rebooking this offer.

The cottage itself is nice and modern with lots of homely touches and has everything you need (and more). We really appreciated getting to use the paddock where we could let the dogs play freely.
