We enjoyed a lovely 3 night break in February for my wife's birthday. Perfect cottage for 2, comfortable and well equipped for self catering. The treehouse hot tub was a factor in selecting this property and it didn't disappoint! Great location for exploring local towns and countryside, and a lovely muddy cross country run! The local pubs weren't s erving food on the Tuesday & Wednesday we stayed, but managed to get a very nice takeaway delivered from the Indian in Richmond (Delhi-cious)
Julie
The cottage is beautifully quaint. It has very authentic features and spotless.my clean. The hot tub in the treehouse is a real experience and highly recommended.
Lauren
We loved our stay and the hot tub in the tree house was amazing, particularly on a cold night. The cottage was beautiful inside and the bed was extremely comfortable, one of the best I have ever slept in. The location was perfect, it was very quiet around the cottage but still close enough to visit places. Highly recommend a trip to Aysgarth Falls and the Hardraw Force Waterfall.
