The welcome tea and coffee was much appreciated, it was lovely to see the horses and to meet Thor! Would definitely recommend the cottage to friends and family, as places like York and the surrounding countryside was within easy reach.

"An extremely well-appointed and pristine Property."
It had everything we needed, and more. As regular Self-Catering users we always carry a box of items sometimes not provided, but we did not need anything on this occasion.
Location was ideal for local touring and access to York.
Owners were charming and very helpful.

"Wow! What a hidden gem of a property - on a small-holding in Melbourne."
Beautiful views over the fields and horses from the property.
We loved this property. This annexe is equipped to a very high standard - and everything feels "new". Plenty of room and an amazing shower rooms on each floor. A true home from home.
Lovely walks on the doorstep along the Pocklington Canal. We enjoyed days out to York (P&R 20 mins away), Pocklington, Beverley and also Flamborough Head to see the seals and Bempton Cliffs for the birds! Our hosts were so friendly. They could not be more helpful if we needed help or advice but were not in the least bit intrusive.

"Our second visit to this well-equipped cottage."
Warm welcome from owners Graham and Erica. Spotlessly clean as before. Nice little garden with patio furniture to enjoy after days out. Conveniently situated for local walks, trips into York and visits to the East Coast particularly Scarborough and the RSPB nature reserve at Bempton. Visited the local pub for a very nice meal on our last evening.

"Had a wonderful and relaxing week at Lilliput Lodge which had almost everything needed and all the home comforts."
The owners, Graham and Erica are very friendly and knowledgable about the area and are always there to help if needed.
The only small petty thing to mention is that maybe bathroom floors mats should be provided to the tiled floors.

We took two under 6 and our dog. The house was absolutely spotless and very well finished every where. It was very specious and had everything you could wish for. The owners were super friendly and helpful if we needed it. This is a great base to visit many local areas. It would also be suitable as a cozy stay if you do not want to move too far. We would absolutely stay again. Thank you

"The cottage was very well equipped, providing everything we needed."
The lounge seemed to need air conditioning - however, we were there at the warmest time of the year, so possibly may not be a problem normally. The area was lovely with loads of places to visit. The hosts were welcoming, without being obtrusive. We would definitely recommend this property to others.

"Internally the cottage is very attractive, spacious, well equipped and comfortable with three major problems."
The lounge a beautiful double height room was uncomfortably hot in warm weather and the fans supplied although moving the air around cannot cope, it needs a/c. The rest of the house was fine.
The wifi is very poor, the signal continually dropping on all devices
The owner is aware of these issues
It s also a pity that the entrance to and outside of the property is so scruffy and unwelcoming, a contrast to the inside and to the rest of the village

"The cottage itself is of a good standard although the outside needs cleaning (windows, doors and woodwork)."
Inside the cottage is ideal and very comfortable although the bedroom curtains could do with being a little heavier to darken the rooms in the early morning. The "lawn" and patio are not really attractive to use, in need of some TLC and a little bit of seclusion. My wife spent an hour cleaning the patio furniture before we could use it. Mr Rollason did purchase a parasol for the small table at our request and both of our hosts were very friendly and attentive at all times.
There is a poultry farm right next door and at times there was quite a bit of background noise from process machinery and also from heavy lorries, even late at night.
The location is great for visiting the area round York and there are several attractive little villages and towns around within a short drive.

"Our second time at Lillieput everything excellent as previously."
Graham and Erica welcoming hosts. We only needed to contact them about broadband tripping, resolved in minutes! This the perfect place for us to holiday. We hope to return later this year and possibly for two weeks next year. Melbourne is a quiet village with pub and local shop it is only a few miles from Pocklington and other retail outlets are available. Nice walks nearby and only 9 or so miles to the Grimston Bar Park&Ride. The place is spotless, all the facilities you might need and apart from go to come back from work almost traffic free. Go there you will love it!
When I get the time I will place a review on Trip Advisor.

"The cottage was very clean and was equipped with everything you might want."
It is very comfortable which made settling in easy. It is set in a pretty village near to the canal which makes a lovely walk. It is close to many of Yorkshire's scenic delights. The owners are very friendly and have 3 beautiful horses and a very friendly labrador. They are on hand if you need anything.
There is early morning traffic on the village road but that was not of concern.
The only downside was that the garden is not enclosed. Having a dog meant we were on constant alert to prevent her from straying around the small holding. Maybe consider gates?
Overall the cottage was an excellent cottage holiday. We'd recommend.
