Beautiful property. We loved the garden!Comfortable house with everything we needed. Easy to get to York from. Would recommend & would definitely visit again.
What a wonderful house! I was nervous before visiting because it seemed too good to be true… but it was everything it promised to be - spacious, modern and well-equipped while still being full of character. We would love to stay here again.
Absolutely fantastic house and space. Huge garden and very spacious inside. Such a great setting for a big family birthday/Holiday. 20min drive into centre of york. Would love to return for another trip.
We stayed as we had a family wedding in the area. The house is well fitted out. Beds are comfy, sofa’s too. We had a very relaxing time, so much we are thinking of returning even without a wedding to go to.
Beautiful property and grounds, we all enjoyed our stay here and would come again. Could just do with a extra toilet downstairs but would not put us off going again. Garden was superb. Property had everything we needed.
We absolutely loved the house. It was perfect for what we wanted. Garden was amazing and allowed the kids to have some great games. Rooms were great and house home equipment was perfect.
Great location to travel into York on the park and ride and other areas around. Would recommend for all family and friend get-togethers!
We were 3 generations. 2 couples plus 2 other adults, 4 lively children under 10 and 1dog. The bedrooms worked well for us. There was plenty of space both indoors and out and we had great games of hide and seek. Lots to see and do in York and we also had a day in Whitby. Both enjoyed by all.
Three night stay with family for soecial birthday, 8 adults and 3 youngsters, all had a fantastic time. The facilities were ideal and York was same as alway, GREAT. Thanks Elaine.
We have just spent the weekend celebrating a special birthday with family. We couldn't fault anything from start to finish. An amazing cottage in a lovely little village. The wood burning fire and underfloor heating was a added bonus. We would definitely recommend and look to book again in the future. Maybe a summer visit to make the most of the outside space.

Large welcoming house
Little difficult to find, especially after dark but once there we found it to be thoughtfully furnished and equipt for large groups/families. We celebrated my father's 80th birthday there and the house was easily suitable for the 10 of us. We went into York 1 day and caught the bus from outside the house but there are local taxi services available. Would definitely recommend the house and the contact with the owners was quick and helpful x

Thank you for your lovely review and really pleased you all had a great weekend.
We have just updated the directions with more details to help in the dark! We used to have a public telephone box opposite but has now been removed! Hopefully the new directions will help Thank you agin for your comments.
The photos for this property don’t do it justice; it looked lovely online but was so much nicer when we arrived. 10 adults stayed for the weekend and it was spacious with plenty of seating for us all to be together. The cottage was clean and had lovely bedding and plenty of towels. It’s well located a short taxi ride into York for our night out, and in a beautiful village with lovely countryside on the doorstep. We loved our stay here laughing and chatting with friends.
The property was as described in the listing. It’s in a great location, close to Askham Bar park and ride which you can use to get to York and a bus runs (infrequent) from the road outside into York. The cottage is old but well set up for a large group with everything you might need in the kitchen during your stay. We were 6 adults, 5 children and a dog, it has a lovely garden which isn’t overlooked by any other properties and the children spent most of their time out there. The owner Elaine was extremely helpful, especially on the day of arrival when I suffered an organisational mishap! We would definitely stay here again.
What a lovely place to stay just outside York! The house and gardens are beautiful. A very spacious property with lots of seating in lounge, dining area and garden. The garden is enclosed, peaceful and very well kept. The house is in a lovely village but very easy to get into York. We recommend the park and ride but also the Crooked Billet pub in a nearby village for a circular walk and fantastic pub meal! Elaine was brilliant at answering my abundance of questions and it was lovely to meet in person. Thank you so much for letting us enjoy your beautiful house.
We stayed at Elaine’s property for my friends hen party and it exceeded all expectations! The property is beautiful, so clean and well presented. Our check in and parking instructions were super clear and the location is gorgeous and a short taxi/car journey into the centre of York.
Even the garden was immaculate, we just wish it was warm enough to sit out there!
Elaine was so accommodating, so lovely and couldn’t have been more helpful when we had a bit of car trouble!
Can’t recommend this property enough, desperately trying to find a reason to return 😊
I booked this property for a long overdue Cousins get together. There were 11 of us and we had a great time. The house was very well equipped, spacious and cosy. We used the Park and Ride which was only a short distance away.
It wasn't the weather for using the garden but it was a great space and very well equipped for outdoor dining.
Our only observation, being 11 females, was that another loo would be handy but it didn't prove too much of a problem.
The property was very clean and well presented. Communications and booking were clear, accurate and helpful. York is only 15-20mins by car. If there was a downside, it would be around bedrooms, a thin partition separated two, providing privacy but little in noise control. One was curtained off only. Some beds were comfortable, others not. We would probably stay again if we decided to return to York on masse.

Thank you for your kind comments. We are pleased you enjoyed your stay.
We have had a close look at all the mattresses and agree that two will now be replaced.
Thank you for bringing this to our attention.
Kind regards
We are an extended family with a group of us living near Wetherby and 3 families from Essex. The Garden Cottage was brilliant for our stay , easy access , the property was as described and perfect for our get-together. We took our own bath towels which I’d advise and extra loo rolls and kitchen towel. It’s a place that we cooked on one day and really needed a couple of items like salt and pepper, a scouring pad for washing up baking trays, some tin foil to line the trays , cling film and a full description of the coffee machine as it was a Tassimo and we bought a Nespresso as that was what we thought was described. But this is just feedback for the owner to improve as it was a great stay , lovely property and gardens and we would recommend. Plenty of space for everyone. Many thanks

Thank you for the lovely review and so pleased you all enjoyed your stay. Thank you very much for the constructive feedback, all of which we will attend to. We do supply one standard bath towel per person but understand if guests prefer to bring their own. So sorry about the mix up of the coffee machine. We recently changed from the Nespresso to Tassimo and I totally missed advising you on the change. We hope to welcome you back at the cottage in the future.
