This is a cosy, comfotable, rustic cottage in a beautiful setting but not luxury. Could have been cleaner & garden was sadly overgrown but nothing major. The location & setting are perfect.

This lovely cottage in Harrogate was perfect for two couples spending a week exploring the Dales and the Moors. Wonderful neighbors, including three visiting Labs, in a country setting. Peaceful, beautiful, and comfortable.

A beautiful cottage, well presented and everything you need for your stay. A lovely welcome pack too which is a really nice touch. Off the beaten track but for our relaxing weekend that is exactly what we needed but yet still close enough to Knaresborough and Harrogate. Would highly recommend.

WOW! What a stay!

We can't say enough about our stay at this absolutely charming cottage near Brearton. We were so pleased by the generous welcome package and even more so by the great instuction book of things to see and do - including a spectacular cross-country hike to the fabulous local pub (highly recommended for Sunday Roast!). A simply picture perfect stay- we will be back next time we are overseas. Mike, Kerri and Aidan - Ottawa, Canada

Graham's place

Great accomodation. A converted barn which had a very homely feeling. Well equipped kitchen. Welcome hamper which was lovely. A south facing enclosed garden to sit in the afternoon sun. Short drive to Harrogate and knaresbourgh. Pately bridge only 12 miles away and into the dales. Would highly recommend this place if looking for a quiet relaxing place to stay

Just the ticket!

Rented this lovely cottage for my mothers birthday, wanted a quiet place in the country close to Harrogate. Graham the owner was brilliant, I asked if he could do a couple of things for me to make the place a little more special for my mother - he very kindly put a “happy birthday” banner up, left a little gift, and even his daughter baked a delicious cake! The cottage is centrally located between several places of interest so a great base for all tastes. Will be back!

Gorgeous

Lovely, well thought out barn conversion So cosy and comfortable, yet with plenty of space for everyone. Immaculately clean and with all you woukd ever use in the kitchen. Two lovely ensuite doyble bedrooms. The garden was secure so my little dog coukd not wander off. Great central location. We visited Scarborough, Robin Hood Bay, Kiplin Hall and James Herriot World. Pub down the road serves lovely food. Also, the owner Grayham met us to show us to the property and kindly made our garden sevure so dog could not wander. The welcome basket was absolutely gorgeous. I will have no hesitation in recommending tgis property to family, friends and colleagues.

The property was warm and spacious. The bed was comfortable and there are 2 nice bathrooms. The welcome pack was greatly appreciated. We would happily return. There is plenty to do locally. We particularly enjoyed the gardens at RHS Harlow Carr, the Jorvik Viking Centre, Fountains Abbey and a walk along Wharfedale to Bolton Abbey. For history buffs a guided walk of the battlefield at Towton was fascinating.

Peaceful beauty in the countryside

The Yorkshire countryside offers beauty and history around every corner, so staying in the midst of it all was top of my list for a recent stay. This lovely converted barn didn’t disappoint. The setting on a gorgeous estate, was a dream to wake up to, complete with the two labs Murphy and Callie visiting for treats. So much to see in such short distances from our base made the vacation one to remember. I’ll definitely be back
