We had a lovely week at Old Maltongate Farm Cottage in mid December.
We had a lovely week at Old Maltongate Farm Cottage in mid December. The cottage was warm and comfortable and beautifully furnished. It was exceptionally well equipped.It was ideally situated in a beautiful village. We visited both local pubs and had a super meal in The Buck. The village is well served by buses. We took one right into York. We were able to walk into Dalby Forest which was beautiful. We went on other stunning walks which were just a short drive away.
