Perfect country cottage

Honestly, Heather Cottage is perfect. Well appointed, Immaculate, comfortable, great location, superb garden. We spent 12 days there and enjoyed every moment. Really appreciated the comfortable beds and the underfloor heating in the bathrooms. The welcome basket suited us to a T. Thanks to Jo, the owner, for a memorable experience.

Excellent house for exploring the North York Moors

This was the perfect house for our first weekend walking holiday to North York Moors with friends. The house has everything you need and more! We felt welcome and quite pampered. The welcome hamper was a wonderful surprise. And, it's right next door to The Royal Oak, which provides good food if you don't have the energy to cook after a long day's walking.
