A lovely cottage , set in a quiet position with views across the valley.
A lovely cottage , set in a quiet position with views across the valley. Bathroom recently upgraded and very suitable for someone with mobility issues. Assorted beds to cover needs of carer and family of a disabled person. Priximity to Helmesley give access to amenities whilst still being in the countryside. As we needed to be from Ripn to scarborough it was ideal.

We liked this house very much.
We liked this house very much. It is situated in a quiet and pretty spot on the edge of the north York moors. It is very comfortable and particularly well suited for people with mobility difficulties including wheelchair users. Beds were comfortable, kitchen well equipped, lounge was a good size with comfortable seating and all selflessly clean. I would have given 10 stars except for the internet not working. This we phoned the daytime contact number about and were promised a call back but never got one, so that was a bit of a shame. Nevertheless I would highly recommend this property
