LOVELY STAY

Stayed 3 nights at The Cornmill. We had a lovely room and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Breakfast was delicious and Karen was a perfect host. We walked into Kirbymoorside each evening for a meal and drink, it was a short enjoyable walk. Whilest there we visited: Hutton-le-Hole, Lastingham, Helmsley, Whitby and The Ryedale Show. Our stay was just perfect. Thank you Karen.
