Beautiful spot in idyllic village

We visited from Australia and planned to see family and friends in the local area. Gt Ayton is easily accessible from the main highways and offered the facilities that we required, eateries and shopping, with an historic vibe that few other places can offer. The Old Forge is central with parking facilities. The house is large and could have slept 6 people easily. Two bathrooms made life easy. Kitchen was large and well set-up. A few basic provisions would be a nice touch for future guests. The garden next to the stream was a stunning spot to have breakfast and entertain visitors. We have stayed in several ABBs on this journey and this place was our favourite. We would definitely book again if we are back soon. Thanks.

Fantastic property in an amazing location.

The cottage was very cosy and had plenty of room. The location by the weir was lovely and relaxing and only about 100 metres from the village shops and restaurants. Great Ayton has an amazing amount of facilities for a village it's size. Maybe as its also a bit of a tourist destination and ideal centre for walkers and cyclists. The communication with Alex was excellent and very helpful. Overall, this is a great place to stay for a family group.
