Fantastic location with ample dog walking routes on the estate as well as out to local villages and very friendly staff. Recommend The Crown Inn at Manfield an hours walk away which is dog friendly.

The cottage was beautiful and a lovely quiet location, which was exactly what we asked for when booking. The hot tub didn't work out for us unfortunately as we underestimated how long it would take to heat up each day, after we had been out all day visiting places of interest. The cottage interior was finished to the highest standard, a lovely baseRead more for a holiday. Hide

The interior decor was very well thought out, and felt fresh and clean. Situated in the grounds of the manor, along with a working farm, it was quiet and relaxing. The wood fire powered hot tub is a definite novelty!

This cottage is beautifully decorated, well equipped, clean, with lovely soft furnishings & comfy beds. The location was quiet & fairly remote, right at the end of a long lane on a farm/estate, but a great base to explore the surroundings areas of Yorkshire. We used the wood fire hot tub once as it was quite time consuming to heat but our daughter Read moreenjoyed it. The only minor negative was the patchy WiFi, which affected us watching films of an evening. Overall we had a fabulous time here. Hide
