This property is unique in having three king-sized bedrooms, all with en-suite bathrooms, making it a great option for a family with older children like ours. The rooms were all clean, well decorated and the beds very comfortable. The property was well located for the park & ride sites to the South and East of York city centre, as well as towns along the Yorkshire coastline such as Whitby. The owner was very welcoming and we would definitely stay here again if visiting York....

A super cottage with three king sized beds all with en-suites (and two with luxurious baths - a real treat) which is rare. Located in a lovely quiet village with a good local pub within walking distance & a pottery close by too which is worth popping in to. Lovely area outside for al fresco dining. Responsive owners. Lovely walks right from the doorstep. ...
