The Dower House Cottage

This was our second stay at Dower Cottage and we were so happy to be back.

It's a great place to be based. We loved having use of the tennis court, nipping to the pub for tea occasionally, wandering around the village, playing on the village green, star-gazing, and going out exploring the area.

Found the Dower House very comfortable and as described and found the location extremely ideal for visiting both the Dales and Moors and the city of York.

the only issue we had and a minor one at that was opening the front door which at times was difficult for some reason.

Wonderful cottage in a peaceful village, lovely pub over the road, enjoyed our stay.

Nice cottage, with great access to the countryside and next door to a lovely pub

Can’t fault the cottage but feel there are a few small improvements that could be made .

There was no bread bin , every other cottage I have stayed at there was kitchen roll , couple of washing machine tablets and couple of dishwasher tablets , these little things would be very helpful .

Lovely cottage in a beautiful area, great base to explore with a fantastic pub right on its doorstep.

A well kept and spacious cottage within a beautiful village.

The owner who lives next door was very helpful. We particularly liked having two en-suites. A real find.

Lovely cottage in a nice setting.

Toby (one of the owners) explained the idiosyncrasies of the EV charger so I had no troubles during the week. The cottage has a good selection of children's games and quite a few books. The village pub is a few paces away and does good food at reasonable prices along with a couple of Theakstones ales. I am sure we will be back sooner or later.

Very comfortable and easy to access nearby Ripon and the Wensleydale railway

We have stayed at The Dower House Cottage three times in the past year.

Its comfortable, and having two ensuite bedrooms is a bonus . The beds are also extremely comfortable. The pub opposite serves excellent food and a warm welcome assured. There is walking from the door and property is well situated, near Northallerton, Bedale, Ripon and Richmond. Toby and Anna the owners are there if you need anything. Thank you, its been great.

The Dower House cottage is a wonderful place to stay.

It is comfortable and spacious with everything you need provided. The location is in a small, quiet village with easy access to the surrounding towns and Yorkshire dales for exploring. The hosts are there if you need them but not intrusive which is perfect. I would absolutely recommend this accommodation.

Spent a very enjoyable few days here.

Cottage was well equipped and very warm and cosy. Close to many lovely villages and the cathedral city of RIpon. Great visit to Fountain’s Abbey on a lovely sunny day. The food at the pub situated just over the road was excellent. Sadly it is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays! Would definitely return.

We had a fantastic break in this beautiful, clean, well appointed cottage, fabulous area, loads to do, hosts really friendly.

We would love to return! Thank you.

What a lovely cottage situated near the village green with walking from the door along minor roads.

The cottage is well equipped, very warm ( it was winter) and beds very comfortable. A lot to do and see nearby Bedale, Northallerton, Fountains Abbey etc. The food at the Black Horse pub in the village is excellent. We have booked again for April, Thank you Toby and Anna

Easy to find with clear instructions.

Property is very comfortable. Having on suite with each bedroom is a great asset. Location was great for us for instance only 15 minutes to Ripon which is a lovelly place

our second stay at the Dower House.

It has all you need for a relaxing break in a beautiful part of the Dales. Friendly village pub with excellent food close by. The owner of the Dower House,Toby, always on hand to answer any queries. I would definitely recommend

A first class cottage in a superb location.

Very spacious, clean, well equipped and extremely comfortable. The cottage was a great base for exploring further afield in the area with plenty of places to visit and was the ideal place to return to, to relax after a day out. An added bonus was a very friendly and welcoming pub just across the road that served excellent beer and food and was run by an excellent landlord and staff.

Very well equiped cottage lovely village and pub problem with the vacuum cleaner wouldn’t pick up but no other problems wouldn’t hesitate to book again

We only had a short stay but were comfortable in a lovely cottage which had everything we needed.

We are happy to recommend and also to return if we're in the area again. Thank you.

A comfortable cottage in the quiet village of Kirklington.

The Black Horse pub is situated close by, and a free drink awaits guests as a welcome. Plenty of space in the cottage which has two reasonable sized bedrooms. The downstairs living space has pretty much everything you need. Enjoyed our 3 night stay.

We had a lovely week at this very comfortable cottage.

Best equipped kitchen I have ever had in a cottage. It had everything you could want. Very comfy bed and sofas too. Great location for seeing the local area, and so much to do. The local pub is literally a stone's throw away, and they were very welcoming (especially Lenny the dog) and friendly. Lovely food as well. Looking forward to hopefully booking again soon. Also make sure to get a jar of the owner, Toby's honey!

Very nice property, well maintain, beds very comfortable.

Kitchen adequately kitted out. Having EnSite's with both bedrooms a great advantage especially if all 4 visitors are adults. The owner Toby was very helpful and obliging with the car charger point which was great especially having an all electric car. Get location for exploring the Dales. Having the Black Horse only seconds from the door was an added advantage, great food and service.

We had a lovely time over the May Half term staying in this idyllic cottage in a tiny village in North Yorkshire.

Toby the owner, was lovely and came by one for a chat and we already bought his very delicious honey! The pub is literally 2 mins over the road and super friendly, our kids even enjoyed playing on the village green. It was the perfect location for us as we got to drive to various places we wanted to visit as part of our week there as the Dales and beaches were not too far away. We had a wonderful time and wish to come back again sometime!

Our stay at the Dower House Cottage was lovely.

The cottage was a great place to come back to after a day in the dales/moors. It has the most comfortable bed I have ever slept in. The owners Toby and Anna were very welcoming and very helpful, especially when it came to charging my car. The complimentary pint in the pub, literally across the road was a very nice touch. We would definitely stay again, and recommend it to anyone visiting North Yorkshire. Terry & Sharon

We enjoyed our holiday very much at The Dower House Cottage.

The location of the property by the village green is excellent and we found it peaceful, quiet and calm. So good to have some outdoor space, the courtyard was a 'suntrap' in the afternoon. The kitchen was very well stocked and laid out plus everything worked. Oh the beds, wow, we thought they were just great, just so comfortable. Toby ( the owner) was very welcoming and helpful explaining the walks from the door. The pub opposite is excellent, we received a warm welcome and the meals very good. We will return.

Good quality cottage Will stay again Black horse pub on doorstep a plus

A spacious and comfortable cottage which is well-equipped and well-maintained.

The owners, Toby and Anna, are friendly and helpful. We love staying here and we'll definitely return.

Lovely cosy Warm cottage in a location that’s great for exploring Swaledale & the Dales.

We loved it If I’m to nitpick it needs a light above the bathroom mirror. There is a pub opposite so that was very handy Need to take your own groceries as there’s no shop& there was no welcome pack. I always take my own but some people need to be aware of that if they’ve travelled far.

Instructions to find the property and the keys upon arrival very clear.

The cottage was spotlessly clean and warm even on the coldest night. Everything that we needed for self-catering was provided including an electric cooker and microwave. The bedrooms are of a good size, bed comfortable and bathroom facilities excellent. The only thing that we missed was having any sort of scenic view from any of the windows otherwise a perfect property situated in a lovely part of Yorkshire. No doubt many visitors will love the fact that there is a pub within 2 minutes walk but that was not something that mattered to us particularly.

Warm, clean and comfy cottage for a winter break.

All as shown in the listing. Fully equipped kitchen with plenty of crockery (big tick).

Warm, comfortable and well equipped cottage.

No welcome pack but a much better complimentary drink at the local pub. The Black Horse does wonderful food and is literally a stones throw from the cottage. Would fully recommend this cottage

Lovely property with an easy drive to local towns and places of interest.

A bonus being a pub across the road, which serves excellent food.

We found the Dower Cottage to be cosy and comfortable for our Christmas stay.

It is a great location for this area of Yorkshire, and the village has a great local pub for food (evenings only in winter) that's only twenty yards from the front door. The cottage was clean, warm, and the electric wood burner helped make it both warmer and cosy. We really appreciated the sweet touch of putting up a Christmas tree. For future visitors just note that the dvd player doesn't play blu-ray/ultra hd, the outdoor light is proximity triggered, and the top step in the cottage is steep so be careful with small children. There's lots of space indoors for games though, and we were very happy with our choice and would come back again.

Lovely property beautifully furnished, excellent facilities and a couple of steps from the local pub Just a couple of suggestions: A lock on the downstairs toilet would be useful as you can’t tell when it’s engaged The toilet seat in the twin room en suite needs re-fitting as its not fitted properly, worryingly someone pointed this out in the visitors book in September and it’s still not been addressed, so makes you think that feedback is not been listened too The shower head in the twin room en suite is too big for a small shower and if you’re not wanting to wash your hair you can’t avoid it None of these things detracted from our stay they are just observations we made during our stay, its a lovely cottage in a lovely village We enjoyed the local pub but felt the Sunday lunch was pricey and not worth the £20 main price tag

We were made up with the cottage.

The addition of the tennis court was a great bonus for us and we made good use of it during the week, in the Yorkshire sunshine. It's great base to explore the area, which we did, visiting the Himalayan Scuplture Garden, Fountains Abbey, The Forbidden Corner, Middleham Gallops, Ripon, Skipton and of course Kirklington itself, where the pub is great and the dark skies are very impressive. Really comfy beds, little garden at the back, parking, wifi, what more could you need for a week away?

We've just eturned from 9 nights of comfort in Dower Cottage.

The cottage's facilities are great and we felt very at home. The village is peaceful and picturesque, yet near enough to a selection of local towns as well as York. We love this part of Yorkshire and it is the perfect location for us to attend an annual event nearby, so I've just booked again for next year!

Lovely well equipped cottage Owner very helpful

A great cottage BUT problem stairs!

The Dower House Cottage would be a great place for most people BUT for elderly/less mobile people, the staircase is a potential hazard. Currently the dog-legged staircase has an inadequate handrail. The handrail's profile is difficult to grip and, more importantly, it is not continuous and also ends well below the top step. It is to be regretted that the owner failed to include photos of the staircase, or describe it, in the details of the cottage. I would point out that I have drawn the attention the owner, Toby, to the problems and discussed how the situation could be improved. The cottage itself is extremely well furnished with everything you might want. It was beautifully clean on arrival with everything working. Plenty of parking for two cars and being able to charge my hybrid car was a useful feature not available at many properties. The cottage is in an attractive location, off the village green. Although the village does not have any shops, it does have a great pub - the Black Horse - which is only a few metres away - and we would recommend their food and beer! The village is in a lovely location and there are plenty of places within easy travel. We particularly liked Ripon and Studley Royal Water Gardens. Despite the stairs (and the unseasonal weather) we had a great week at the Dower House Cottage and - subject to the above warning re the stairs - we would strongly recommend it for anyone who wants a comfortable week, in a quiet village, in a lovely part of the country. Jim

Our third visit to Dower House Cittage.

Lovely property in a nice village with friendly locals. The Black Horse pub is just over the road and serves fantastic food. We will be returning next year at some point.

Excellent location and facilities.

Shame the pub opposite is closed Mon/Tues. Older couples should be warned of the stairs as the handrail, at the top, does not extend to the very top

A well equipped cottage in a great location to explore this part of north Yorkshire.

No compalints at all for the cottage and a big plus for being so close to a welcoming pub, serving excellent food.

A spacious and comfortable cottage in a quiet location.

This was our second visit and we hope return in the future. It has the added advantage of a pub across the road that serves great food!

Our second stay at this lovely property.

We love itt so much and feel so welcome that we are booked again for later this year. Cottage comfortable, clean and close to a lovely pub.

We had a lovely weekend at the Dower House Cottage we could not fault the property it was warm comfortable and everything we required was there.

We didn't meet the owners but there again we didn't need to because everything was spot on the cottage is in a good location and the Black Horse pub opposite the property is ideal for eating out or just having a quiet drink . Everyone in the pub was very friendly and welcoming the landlady was very helpful the food and service was excellent couldn't of had a better time. Thank you.

Clean, warm, and comfortable.

We had everything we needed. Great spot for a family holiday with lots to do within an hours drive. Friendly and obliging owners.

Very nice property with all we need for our stay.

Very comfortable beds.

Lovely cottage in a beautiful area of North Yorkshire.

A couple of small niggles which the owner quickly sorted out. Cottage was comfortable and clean. A good base for visiting the Dales and York. Hope to return one day.

Really enjoyed our stay at The Dower House.

Very comfortable beds and in a beautiful location. The use of the tennis court was a great touch and we tried the pub opposite for drinks which was lovely. The location was great for plenty of attractions nearby including The Forbidden Corner and Brimham Rocks. Also enjoyed a trip to Masham and ice cream at Brymor.

Really loved our stay in Dower House Cottage.

The design and layout of the cottage is lovely and the furnishings are really nice. Enjoyed our stay so much in this relaxing cottage booked already for next year. The lovely pub that is so close is an added bonus, which does lovely food and both the owners and locals are very friendly.

A beautiful cottage, very clean, well presented and with everything we needed.

Location was brilliant, with an excellent pub serving great food opposite. Very helpful and friendly owners. Would highly recommend.

Whilst the property was comfortable, there were a few cleanliness issues.

I had to remove a large mass of human hair from the bath plughole before I could take a bath & was unable to use the rubber non-slip bath mat due to the excessive amount of black mould on the reverse. The bedroom with en suite shower had a continuous stale smell of stagnant water akin to a plumbing problem. Overall we enjoyed the stay & location, although a welcome pack of a pint of milk & packet of biscuits for instance, would have been most welcome.

We all enjoyed our stay in this quiet setting and our hosts were friendly and helpful.

Hope that we can return again.

Great cottage in a lovely village.

Pub, serving delicious food, on the door step. Ideally located for exploring North Yorkshire.

Comfortable accomodation.

Good communication from owner. Well equipped. Great location. Would happily stay again.

Lovely, comfortable cottage.

Peaceful location. Friendly and helpful owner. Excellent pub across the road. Look forward to visiting again!

The cottage was perfect.

Spotlessly clean. Beds very comfy, sofas were comfy too. Lots of good information about local areas and places to eat. Would definitely go back again.

We had a lovely stay - location was lovely, beds super comfy and the cottage was beautifully clean.

It was exactly what we wanted!

Beautiful cottage in a peacefull location very clean and well presented.

Nice pub opposite. We shall return, thank you for a great stay

An excellent cottage, it is highly recommended

Lovely well equipped property in an excellent, quiet, village location.

Lovely house - for us the bathrooms were a real plus.

Location fantastic- easy access to Ripon, York and some really pretty villages. We loved the friendliness of everyone we met!

First class holiday cottage.

Spacious accommodation, two en-suites were a bonus. The cottage was well designed, although we found the lounge area a little dark. The location is great for exploring this lovely part of Yorkshire and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this peaceful village.

A well appointed, warm and spacious holiday cottage with comfortable beds in a very pleasant and quiet village well placed for visiting the area.

A lovely cottage and very comfortable inside.

Everything you need for a week and lots of interesting places to see nearby. The outside area could be improved, maybe some more comfortable furniture and some plants? But a nice private courtyard to enjoy and a real suntrap.

BEAUTIFUL COTTAGE, EVERYTHING WE NEEDED, THE OWNER CAME OVER TO INTRODUCE HIS SELF.

VERY NICE CHAP. VERY HELPFUL. WE WILL BE BACK TO STAY,

Just a marvelous and comfortable cottage, nicely located between Moors and dales.

Thank you for having us. Third time's a charm :-). After needing to postpone our holidays for two years we were finally able to make the trip. Thanks to the owner and Sykes we were able to amend our reservation!

Wonderful stay.

Lovely cottage in a real English village. Clean and bright. Welcoming host. We had a great stay.

The cottage is conveniently located for easy access to a range of towns and attractive villages/countryside.

The accommodation is excellent and fully met our needs. It is well maintained, comfortable and warm. The proximity to the friendly village pub is a real bonus. We had to make some changes to our booking and the owner Toby could not have been more helpful. We intend to return as there is so much to like about the cottage and the area

The cottage was perfect for my stay.

It was warm, comfortable and well equipped. It was an added bonus to have a Christmas tree up for the Christmas week.

The reviews were spot on with this property.

The photos do not do the place justice, and the beds are extremely comfortable--I literally didn't want to get out of bed each day! We enjoyed the owner's welcome guide and the location of this listing is perfect for going anywhere in the Moors, the Dales, or down to York. The Wifi was better than in many other places I've stayed. I would stay here again and recommend it to my friends.

A lovely cottage in a quiet village with a great pub close by.

The Dower house was ideal for us as two couples with both bedrooms having en-suite. I would definitely book again if looking in the area.

Lovely quiet cottage in a lovely village, everything that we needed for our stay was included, centrally placed for visiting surrounding towns would highly recommend

Lovely cottage and owners, Sykes have done it again.

Never had a bad cottage

Lovely cottage with high quality decor and furnishings and very clean.

Really comfy beds (though duvets too hot for summer use). Owners friendly/helpful but not intrusive. Enjoyed using the tennis court. Great location - really quiet on edge of small village but very accessible (close to A1(M) but couldn't hear it at all, village accessed by decent roads). Close to lots of places to visit, lovely walks and bike rides - we stayed a week but could easily have filled two weeks with different places. Plenty of good pubs nearby including a great one literally over the road. Probably one of the best cottages we've ever stayed in (and we've stayed in a lot).

Our first experience of living in a converted barn.

.....the living room was dark and lacked any outlook. The bedrooms had limited head room and roof lights that restricted views.

It is a lovely comfortable place to stay.

Beautiful surroundings and the owner made us feel very welcome when we met him on the day we arrived. The local public house is a very welcoming place too. Such a relaxing tranquil place. Didn't want to come home. Would go and visit again.

The cottage is as beautiful as the pictures.

Very clean, warm and well equipped. My girls didn’t want to leave, they had the best time and said they are the comfiest beds ever. The pub was lovely and friendly with delicious food. We would love to come again in the future but hopefully for longer next time to enjoy the cottage for more than a weekend. Many thanks for having us.

We have stayed in many different holiday properties over the years, and this lovely little cottage was in our opinion the best.

Spotlessly clean, well equipped, cosy and comfortable, we couldn't have asked for anything more. We had a very indifferent week weather wise ranging from sun and showers, to unrelenting torrential rain, but nothing spoiled our enjoyment of the wonderful scenery and walks around the area. The lovely, friendly owners of the property - Anna, and Toby - bent over backwards to provide us with information on all the best places to visit, as well as the best places to eat ranging from their recommended, budget affordable, to the more expensive gastro dining experiences. This was such a help, as we had not visited this area before, and it was very handy to have some information to refer to. The highlights of the week were Brimham Rocks - wow what a place - an absolute must for all those who love walking in amongst ancient rocks with spectacular views. Fountains Abbey, and water gardens, and Hackfall. Delicious food, local ales, and cider served from the friendly Black Horse Pub, just a few yards away. They even offer a Take Away service for those who prefer to eat at home. We should have, had our holiday in May, but because of Covoid 19, it was sadly cancelled. However Sykes were brilliant and re-booked us at the first opportunity which was in October. We can thoroughly recommend their company, and have booked with them on several other occasions, but we have to say this year - despite the difficulties they faced because of the virus - they pulled out all the stops to keep us up to date. We would certainly recommend both them, and the lovely gem of a holiday let - The Dower House Cottage, as well as Toby, and Anna, who did us proud.

This cottage can be highly recommended , very clean , comfortable and quiet.

It is situated in an ideal location for touring the area on both sides of North Yorkshire. The owners are very friendly without being intrusive. The pub opposite was quiet at all times. The staff in the pub were very attentive and excellent service was provided to a very tasty home cooked meal. The landlady was very welcoming as also was the pub dog Lotty .

This was the perfect place for us.

The cottage was well set out and equipped, clean and beautiful. Having the pub just over the road was great - they were very friendly and welcoming and we ate there a couple of times. The location is ideal - especially for us to be close to family in the area - but the area generally has a lot to recommend it for a holiday. I'm pretty sure we'll be back.

Lovely conversion with everything you might need for a weeks stay.

Good quality furnishings and nice en suites.Very friendly pub over the road and others within walking distance or short drive.

A really lovely cottage what was super nice was that both bedrooms were the same size so one couple and their kid didn’t feel like they had a less comfortable experience than the other.

It was great for our friend’s 15 week old and our 23month old as the living space downstairs was large and really comfy too so we could lay the little one down and let our toddler run around and to his hearts content. We were just sad we had such a short stay and that it was winter as the patio garden outside and the village would for sure be lovely in the summer. Thanks to the owners we had a lovely stay.

Having stayed in many cottages over the years at last we have found the one that had everything you could possibly want.

If you are thinking of renting this property don't hesitate you will not be disappointed

Friendly owner, in lovely village, pub opposite nice, quick access to A1 so can quickly get to other places.

While staying we found a great theme part called Ligthwater valley which is only 15 minute drive away

One of the nicest cottages we have stayed in.

Very well equipped, warm and cosy and very clean. Local pub really lovely and friendly and food was really tasty. Location was nice and central but had a lovely remote village feel to it. Owners very helpful and we would definitely return.

Absolutely fabulous location we particularly loved the pub a few steps from the cottage!

Wonderful welcome from the owners, can recommend their sunday lunch. We had dinner their a couple of times and each time the food was freshly cooked using local products, the food is excellent. The owners gave us a lovely welcome and also gave lots of info of where to visit. We are both keen road cyclists and we found, when we arrived, the UCI World Cycling Competition was on for the whole week so we were able to watch several of the races. Outstanding! We had a thoroughly enjoyable holiday and would definitely, recommend Dower Cottage. There is also so much to do and see. North Yorkshire is a wonderful area of the UK and the scenery is breathtaking!

Location was very convenient for access to main roads.

This meant we could explore different parts of the county easily. The owners were very welcoming and helpful with local recommendations. Comfortable beds, great shower and handy washing machine/dryer plus a decent sized fridge/freezer which you don’t always get in holiday accommodation. Overall a good set up with a pub and village green opposite for kids to have a kick about.

A lovely, comfortable, well-equipped cottage excellently situated for exploring the Dales and the Moors.

My mother and I had a lovely time, and the bed was extremely comfortable, which was good as the weather encouraged me to stay in it! The pub was great too. Will certainly stay again next time we visit Yorkshire.

The cottage is amazing.

Beautifully presented and cosy. Owner lives next door and was friendly and welcoming. Ideally situated for Fountains Abbey, Himalayan Gardens and Thorpe Perrow. It was relaxing to sit out in the little courtyard garden. Couldnt fault this property.

We had a fantastic time at the cottage, it was beautiful.

Very clean and the facilities were great. It was better than the pictures. Would definitely recommend and there is loads to do in the area.

The Dower House Cottage was a perfect base to explore Yorkshire.

The cottage itself was very comfortable, immaculately clean, nicely decorated and met all of our needs perfectly. The cottage is situated in a lovely little village, with easy access to the road network which made it very convenient for days out exploring.

The cottage was perfect for our needs.

The owners were friendly and helpful. The pub close by was an excellent place to eat, and the owners were very friendly. Local villagers made us welcome too. Would have stayed longer but cottage was booked already.

A very well refurbished cottage exactly as shown on the website, fully met our expectations, ideally positioned for the Dales and North York Moors.

Although positioned only 1 mile from the motorway Kirklington is a lovely tranquil village and the cottage is not affected by any road noise

Lovely clean cottage.

Furnished to a high standard. Ideal location. Could do with a wider selection of books, Dvds and board games to make the stay more enjoyable.

Very nice, clean cottage in small village near motorway so it is easy to get around.

Would suggest making small garden somewhat greener

The owner was more than helpful and even offered to buy a coffee maker when I asked if there was one!

! He always replied promptly to e mails when I sought information just before the let.

We really enjoyed our stay at the cottage and the area was so lovely and very clean every where.

Lovely cottage, great location, owner very friendly and helpful.

Many attractions near by and a fantastic pub across the road serving great food.

The cottage was superb, immaculately clean and with every facility you would need for an away from home stay.

The cottage was by far the cleanest and the nicest and the most comfortable we have stayed in so far (& we have stayed in a lot!

) The owner Toby was extremely helpful and friendly and gave us lots of ideas for areas and places to visit.It is ideally situated between the Dales & the N York moors National parks and is very easy to access,and with a local traditional family village pub almost on the doorstep what more could anyone want! All told we had the most wonderful week ,the only downside was that we had to leave it so soon!...we will definitely be back! Thank you Toby & Anna for giving up this beautiful space for others to enjoy. We hope you go from strength to strength.

Really friendly owners and locals.

Had a wonderful time with our two little boys. Comfortable, clean, beautiful place to stay. Will definitely be returning :)

The property is very clean and comfortable and easy to access either the North York Moors or Yorkshire Dales, also you can visit lots of Market Towns and Abbeys in this area, so lots of interesting things to do as well as nice local walks and villages to see.

Also would recommend a trip on the North Yorkshire Railway at Pickering The owners are a very nice and helpful family, but not in any way intrusive, there if you need them and helpful with local information. The Pub across the road, which has just been taken over with a very nice couple is well worth a visit, and means you can have a nice meal out on your doorstep. The village is pretty and although no shops it is easy to get to Thirsk which has Tesco and also fuel. Masham is near as well a lovely market town with local shops and pubs and a co-op. We would definitely return to this property. We spent a lovely two weeks in October.

The cottage was well furnished and well decorated, the standard of furniture was good and the beds were excellent.

The outdoor space was very private and table and chairs provided. On all this was an excellent property
