The property is very clean and comfortable and easy to access either the North York Moors or Yorkshire Dales, also you can visit lots of Market Towns and Abbeys in this area, so lots of interesting things to do as well as nice local walks and villages to see.. Also would recommend a trip on the North Yorkshire Railway at Pickering The owners are a very nice and helpful family, but not in any way intrusive, there if you need them and helpful with local information. The Pub across the road, which has just been taken over with a very nice couple is well worth a visit, and means you can have a nice meal out on your doorstep. The village is pretty and although no shops it is easy to get to Thirsk which has Tesco and also fuel. Masham is near as well a lovely market town with local shops and pubs and a co-op. We would definitely return to this property. We spent a lovely two weeks in October.
