We chose this property for its location to York racecourse. It was easy to find and in a beautiful setting. A nice conversion of old stables.

A bit of road noise if you were sitting in the garden.

Cobwebs

We liked the location as it was a quick drive to York but nice and peaceful.

The back door wouldn't open no matter how many times we tried. The shower glass was screwed in to the bath meaning you couldn't move it. This made it extremely difficult when trying to run a bath. It also meant I couldn't shower my toddler which I was looking to do for quickness and ease. The amount of spiderwebs in the house was unbelievable. Clearly the cleaner has never bothered to hoover these away. They were EVERYWHERE, even above our pillows. We had to clean every bit of cutlery, every cup, plate etc before we used them because they were filthy. The limescale within the kettle was on another level and we reverted back to boiling water on the hob for warm drinks. There was also an unpleasant smell in the kitchen. The shower Thermostat was nothing short of useless. It kept sticking and matter how much I tried, I couldn't reduce the water temperature. Upon standing under the water initially, it was a decent temperature but then all of a sudden it went boiling hot to the point it burnt my scalp and I had to finishing washing my hair in a bath of cool water. The mould within the grout was also disgusting. The grey/black coloured grout helps to hide it but it's still very evident. We came home feeling dirty and unrested.The largest of the shower head could be doing with a thorough clean. The double bed was evidently 2 single beds and the join could be felt when laying down. It just wasn't a comfortable bed. The welcome pack instructions within the property didn't match the welcome pack via email. You assume you have access to sky channels given the sky remote but it seems only free view is available ad we were continually asked to enter a sky card. We won't be staying again when we return to York. It definitely wasn't worth the money and I'm angry I paid what I did given our experience.

Very attractive location with excellent facilities.

Cottage is on two levels and shower is in the bath so may cause access issues for some people.

everything, especially the yard in our place, very tranquil, it’s always nice to take a walk around.

A wonderful, quiet setting amongst beautiful grounds. Our son loved watching the electric lawnmower which he dubbed 'the robot'. Spotlessly clean, cosy, and with special touches (a beautiful welcome hamper and a cleaning kit). Also with skytv, which was the first time ever we've had that in any of the places we've stayed! We loved the design and home interiors- beautiful paintings, artwork and bedding. We especially loved reading about the history and renovation of the property. All in all we loved our stay and wouldnt hesitate to return. Thank you!! Xx

Comfortable and excellent location for our purposes.

Sitting room had not been satisfactorily cleaned. Clearly had been neglected for sometime.
