This cottage was delightful, and we had a lovely stay. Lovely welcome pack, and a pretty, cosy cottage with a log burner. Not far from York- we used the Park and Ride which saved battling with City parking and we enjoyed a number of day trips in Yorkshire as well.

A superb little cottage. Perfectly located for York (only 10mins away) and further afield, should you wish. The cottage was spotless on arrival, and the owner, Michelle, ensured a warm welcome and was always on hand if needed. Will certainly return for a second visit, and highly recommend to friends and family.

A very cosy, comfortable and well equipped base for visiting York. Just be aware that the stairs are very steep and narrow - we coped but others may find them a challenge. Friendly owners and a great location - happy to recommend!

Lovely cottage, immaculately clean. Perfect temperature in the bedroom (cool but not too cool) and a very comfortable bed meant a great night's sleep. Lovely countryside walks a few miles north, and very easy to get to York for the city break part of our holiday.

We had a wonderful relaxing week at Darcy's Cottage and would thoroughly recommend it. The area generally is very pretty and we found it very useful having a 'park and ride' bus stop on the main road which took us into York, saving us struggling to find a car park. When we arrived there was a welcome pack for us, which we thoroughly enjoyed. The beRead mored was very comfortable and the bathroom is HUGE!!! The sitting room is beautifully furnished, including TV, coffee table & large leather sofas. Hide
