  What a beautiful cottage with everything you need. We were made to feel very welcome on arrival by Sue & Rob. Perfect location, lovely local pub too 'Plum & Partridge' well worth a visit. We will definitely go back.

• "It was a pleasure to stay in the Hayloft."

  The cottage provided everything one could need, it was spotless and very comfortable. The owners provided an unexpected Welcome Hamper, and a vase of beautiful flowers on arrival, which was so thoughtful, and a wonderful way to begin my break away. I received a very warm welcome in person from Sue and Rob, and they were on hand all week if I needed help or advice. I would certainly return to the Hayloft, and would not hesitate to recommend the cottage to friends.

• "Fantastic week at The Hayloft."

  Everything you could possibly need has been thought of, from the welcome basket that included a bottle of lovely Husthwaite apple juice to the soft bath sheets supplied (a pet hate being towels that are too small!) I had a great week and of course there is so much to do in the area. It was great to see and hear the horses around the property. The one and only (unavoidable) issue was the iffy weather during the week I stayed, but the cottage was so nice that I didn’t mind staying in some of the time. Thank you.

• "We had a lovely break at The Hayloft."

  The property was immaculate and provided every little home comfort you could ask for. The beds were comfortable and the property has been fitted out to a very high standard. The owners were very welcoming and friendly and although we didn’t need to I would have felt very happy asking for anything we needed. The welcome basket was a fantastic touch and was filled with yummy bread and cakes. Local apple juice which was amazing. There was milk and water in the fridge which meant we didn’t have to run straight out to buy essentials. We would definitely recommend this property. Lots to do and see around here. Being on a farm with horses and a gorgeous cat was the icing on the cake. Thank you

  Everything you need for a relaxing break and a very lovely welcome basket of goodies from the very friendly and helpful owners. To add to this the property is situated in an amazing area with fantastic views. It seems miles from everything but it is very close to lots of beautiful villages and larger towns.

  The welcome basket was a real treat! The place itself was beautifully kitted out, had everything you could need for a comfortable stay and was absolutely spotless. Location wise, couldn't fault it...within easy reach of some superb places to visit. Locally, the Plum and Partridge was a nice bar/restaurant, but our personal favourite was the Fauconberg Arms in the next village along. All in all, we had a wonderful time. Thanks!

• "Quiet location to relax after a day in the stunning countryside or visiting the quaint villages of the area."

  The cottage was well appointed and had everything we wanted. Our only criticism was not enough clothes drawers or any wardrobe in the bedroom areas for a full weeks stay. We managed ok but with a bit of thought about this there is space to provide these extras. Without these we would still be happy to return as it was ideally placed for our stay. The village has no pub and 1 restaurant. We aren't that bothered but if you want a pub you can go to without having to drive this may not suit you.
