Our first visit to Yorkshire and what a week it was. A superb cottage in a rural location with plenty of facilities a short drive away. The owner, Gail, was very helpful throughout our stay. The house was tastefully decorated and very comfortable. A real home from home with the addition of a hot tub. Would definitely return.

We had the most wonderful stay in Rookery cottage. From the second we arrived it totally blew us away how impeccably clean and tasteful everywhere was. It far exceeded our expectations in quality and comfort. Ive never seen any holiday home SO well stocked from spare toothbrushes, fluffy towels, biscuits, coffees the list is endless. The host Gail Read morewas out of this world, we cannot write highly enough about her. Everything was so amazing weve already booked again to stay a week next Xmas ! Hide

A lovely stay in a beautifully converted barn. Every aspect has been thought about from good kitchen equipment through to bathrobes for all guests and very clean and tidy upon our arrival.

A lovely, comfortable, very dog friendly cottage in a fantastic location close to National Trust properties, the Dales and with Ripon and Harrogate almost on the doorstep. Gail, the host, is superb and always on hand if you need help. We are looking forward to visiting again.

The owner (who is genuinely lovely) has made huge efforts to ensure Rookery House is a comfortable, cosy and stylish place to stay. Welcome package was extremely generous and Gail very friendly and helpful.
