Highly recommend

This was a lovely cottage - part of a barn conversion - with everything you could possibly need. The surroundings / setting was idyllic, calm, peaceful, and grounding, just the sound of birdsong and a very occasional vehicle ( usually a tractor).This and three other cottages had full access to an indoor heated swimming pool, games room and layndry, with sauna also available at a small extra cost. Located approx 6 mikes from the coast in one direction and North Yorks moors etc in the other.Thoroughly enjoyed my stay, but do recommend a driver and vehicle be part of the grouo, due to location.Will be going again and recommend to anyone who wants some time out!
