Cottages reviewed on Trip Advisor

It's always nice to get feedback and it was lovely to read this review by one of our guests posted on Trip Advisor.

"17 of us, as one family, had a great long weekend here in October and found the cottages fully equiped with everything we needed. The views are stunning and the rooms all very clean and comfortable. Very well heated for the dullest of days, lovely comfortable beds and thick duvets. We were near enough to all the sights and York proved to be a good day out for some whilst others liked Scarborough and we liked Eden Camp WW2 museum. We all had lunch at The Feathers in Helmsley - carvery- excellent for our group aged from 7 to 87.
Definately recommended."
