Lovely peaceful escape
Comfortable and well equipped home from home. Welcoming and communicative hosts and an excellent guide to the local area. The parking disc was a handy and thoughtful idea! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Cooked a few nights in, kitchen is fine and functional. The bath is large and lovely and the bed comfortable . One big comfy sofa with extra blankets would be an upgrade to the living room. Thank you! <3

Cosy and comfortable, great location
The cottage was ideal for our stay in Yorkshire. Great location ... nice and quiet in a pretty village with a lovely nature reserve and decent pub. Easy reach of the Dales, Ripon, York, Harrogate and Fountains Abbey. Easy check in with private parking. The windfall apples were a bonus! Warm and comfy, decent WiFi and TV that worked. We had a small problem with the toilet but Emma got it repaired swiftly and without a fuss. Would definitely stay again.

Relaxing in Staveley
Well located spacious cottage with views. Comfortable bed & seating. Kitchen & washing machine very adequate. Thanks to our host Emma who met us on arrival, was very helpful and made us feel at home. Good selection of local information provided. Fast wifi helped as our 3 phone nework signal was erratic.

Lovely 6 nights in Yorkshire countryside
Cozy cottage with all necessary facilities, and GREAT hosts who responded caringly to all requests. We are 70 year old "quite well travelled adventurers" and found delightful market towns, picnic spots.. and pubs in vicinity. The evening walk to the local was very pleasant, the food portions generous, and daily dishes enjoyable. Special thanks to our hosts who were very attentive to our arthiritic needs in climbing the 7 or 8 stairs when entering and leaving the cottage. Strongly recommended.

An enjoyable stay in a lovely quiet village
The cottage was OK but some of the fixtures and fittings seemed a little tired e.g. The kitchen work tops are badly worn, the duvet on the bed was a 13.5 tog far too warm for the summer months and the spare duvet was not a duvet and was stained. However we did enjoy our stay.

Good location and peaceful
Although this property is in peaceful countryside it is only 10 minutes away from a large supermarket and the A1(M) for access much further afield. This was ideal because we visited a lot of friends. We also needed an EV charging point but this was also close by. Emma was very welcoming and helpful in making suggestions for our exploring. The property was well equipped for 2 and very cosy.

Lovely cosy cottage in a beautiful setting. Great directions and it was lovely to meet Emma once we had settled in. Comfy bed, great shower. The teabags and milk were appreciated, thank you! Easy walk to the Staveley Nature Reserve and the Royal Oak pub (although the staff didn't come across as friendly!). Would recommend The Two Brothers, Italian, in Knaresborough.
