Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
Lovely little 2 bed house in great location for weekend in Thirsk - few mins walk to shops, restaurants, cinema, and there’s a pub serving food across the road. Clean, well equipped, good shower in bathroom too. Smooth check-in, no issues. Parking is busy but we always found a nearby spot. We used it as a base to visit the local area, loved visiting Nunnington Hall (nice scenic drive there). Great communication with host when needed. Would stay again if in the area.
