"Minor point of the shower temperature and flow"
"Central location to many places. Great place."
"We recently went on a little getaway and honestly, despite the rising prices everywhere - thanks, Covid - we still managed to enjoy ourselves. The cottage was spotlessly clean and super cosy, with really comfy beds that made catching up on sleep a breeze. Sitting outside in the sunshine, breakfast in hand, while listening to the sheep in the fields was a proper treat. Having your own parking spot right outside was a real bonus too, no faffing about searching for parking. The location offered plenty of lovely spots to explore nearby, which kept us busy. There are two pools on-site, though the outdoor one was rather chilly - but to be fair, once you dip in, you get used to it! The only thing missing was wifi; no internet for guests in the cottages. Its a bit of a shame in todays world, especially for teenagers who rely on it, but we managed with a phone hotspot. Honestly, wed happily return. Its a nice escape and sometimes a break without constant scrolling is just what you need. All in all, a lovely little retreat with just a couple of minor quibbles."
"We had a fantastic stay at this cosy cottage. Perfectly situated for exploring or just unwinding with some lovely local walks nearby. Definitely recommend!"
"Our White Rose Country Cottages review: Great spot for discovering North Yorkshire, highly recommend it!"
"Solid experience, would definitely repeat it"
"We recently brought the whole family here-my partner, our two kids aged 4 and 6, plus my mum. Honestly, the place exceeded our expectations; the photos online didnt do it justice at all. The downstairs area was way bigger than we thought, which was a nice surprise. Also, we werent expecting a downstairs wet room with a toilet and sink-really handy. Weve already recommended it to friends and family and yes, wed definitely come back! We visited in October/November 2017."
"Lovely stay, would definitely come back again"
"The cottage was lovely and cosy and the pool was a real plus. The staff genuinely helpful, though the pubs midweek closure was a bit inconvenient if you enjoy a drink. Still, we had a good stay overall!"
"Really enjoyed our stay here. The place was spotless, warm and welcoming from the moment we arrived. Parking was straightforward and its a great base for exploring the area. Well definitely come back!"
"Really enjoyed our stay"
"It was super quiet during the Christmas period! The accommodation was just perfect and we couldnt find anything to complain about. Really enjoyed our stay!"
"We had a lovely time at the cottage! The only small issue was that there were a few spiders' webs around the top of the door frames - just a lack of dusting! Its not really a complaint, just something we noticed."
"We didnt have any real need to contact the staff, and although the interior of the cottage was excellent the outside needs some work on it but I expect that this has been lined up for later."
"Great set of cottages with all the comforts of home.
The area is peaceful and close to everything that North Yorkshire has to offer."
"Great base for visiting places and walking. Oaks fishery just round the corner if fishing is your hobby."
"Lovely cottage which looks like in will soon be installed with a hot tub. I hope it is because I’ll Defo be back"
"Lovely relaxing break beautiful place friendly staff. Cottage was lovely comfy beds extremely comfy

"Stayed at cottage Birch, just been renovated so cottage was absolutely beautiful. Only thing I'd add is couple kitchen appliances needed, like dishwasher rack for dishes, chopping board and sweeping brush. And the outside pool roof needed a good clean. Everything else was perfect, I would recommend and I'll be back. Thank you for an amazing stay! X"
"The cottage was lovely. Fully equipped kitchen. Nice location. We have booked to go back again in the summer."
"Excellent cottage and lovely and warm, would recommend to family and friends, we were made very welcomed."
"Lovely cottage & we will be back. Do not let reviews put you off!! Clean, tidy & very comfy beds. Just a shame the pub ran a ticket event for Halloween, we didn't know this, so children missed out."
"Great place shame site pub was shut"
