We have visited this cottage three times - the only cottage we have rented more than once. It is excellent for dogs and roomy for the family. Drawbacks are the beds are very soft for our preference and, not being used to an Aga, it is difficult to prepare meals.

excellent cottage, with everything one would need, especially enjoyed the Aga cooker and the enclosed garden. Fantastic views of Rievaux Abbey.Only criticism is it could do with some new mattresses as they were not very comfortable.

We have loved staying at this cottage again this and year and are looking forward to booking again next year.
It’s a fantastic cottage in a brilliant location.
The only issue we had this year as we did last year is the mattresses are hard and uncomfortable and the living room furniture is uncomfortable and tired.
