Thank you for your feedback. For the benefit of future guests may I say the internet was not working on the first evening of your stay, once re-booted the next morning I was not aware of any issues - I believe it was working fine and presumed this was the case as you did not say otherwise. As none of the other reviews over the past 10 years mention poor internet this shows this was an isolated case. Apologies for the Ladybirds that are currently hibernating, I choose not to spray insect repellent as I don't like using chemicals and see them as pretty harmless.

About the host

Hosted by Emma Summersgill

Host profile image
My husband Tim and I have lived in North Yorkshire for most of our lives. The Cottage is in the grounds of our house so we will usually be on hand to offer as much or little assistance as you require

We moved here with our 2 children for them to experience village life yet be near enough to the towns and attractions we also enjoy experiencing.

Kind regards, Emma

Why they chose this property

Staveley is nearer our friends, families and places we enjoy visiting. Minutes from the A1 yet overlooking open fields and hearing birds singing makes this our perfect location.

What makes this property unique

So many of the most beautiful attractions in Yorkshire are within a 30 minute drive of this property, no need to spend all day in the car finding places to enjoy
