A truly amazing property. Exquisitely furnished and spotless. Fabulous goody basket and a vase of fresh flowers on the kitchen table. Despite not having control over the heating, this cottage is one mot to be missed. Outstanding.

Property was spotlessly clean and very well equipped. We found the bathroom and two bedrooms in the old part of the cottage very cold and for that reason would not rebook. The traffic on the road started at about 6.30, this did not bother my husband but did effect my sleep (I am a very light sleeper)

A lovely cottage in a beautiful area. However, guests have no control over the room temperatures, not ideal for a 90 year old man on blood thinners who needs a warm environment. And the 'hot' water in one bathroom was not hot enough for a bath or shower. The cool shower and bath, used only once, were also both extremely slow to drain (like overnighRead moret), pipes obviously blocked, Owner notified, and said they would sort it, but nothing improved and no apology. Shame, as very nice otherwise. Hide

Property was absolutely lovely and spotless, with plenty of space especially with two lounges. Primary lounge really bright and airy due to patio doors both sides. Courtyard great for morning coffee or late afternoon glass of wine in the sunshine. Great location and just a few minutes drive from Masham.

The cottage is situated in a perfect, quiet location only a short drive from Masham. The grounds were absolutely fantastic with a large pond, ducks and chickens roaming and a field with football goals. The 2 living rooms were lovely and the kitchen had everything needed including dishwasher and washing machine. The front courtyard looks out onto thRead moree rolling hills and was stunning. There is also ample parking at the rear. Ideal for trips to Pateley Bridge, Brimham Rocks and other nearby places. Hide
