Fantastic mini break for myself, husband and dog.

Fantastic mini break for myself, husband and dog. Beautifully clean and cosy cottage with everything we needed in it. Lots of choice of pubs and both breweries on the doorstep with a Co op around the corner. Stayed for 4 nights and would definitely recommend. Thank you for all the lovely extras we received on arrival, a really kind and appreciated gesture. Thank you

The Old Telephone Exchange is ideal for 2 people.

The Old Telephone Exchange is ideal for 2 people. Everything you need was on hand. The wine, cake & eggs were a nice touch & delicious.There are plenty of pubs to eat in if you don’t want to cook. The Himalayan Gardens are a must & not too far from Masham.
