Lovely property , and electrical problems dealt with very quickly by the owner.Would have appreciated a couple of dishwasher tablets and a bin liner for when we arrived to start us off but otherwise well equipped and cosy in a beautiful setting.Drive to central York ( shambles ) was around 25/30 minutes ….
