Chantry Cottage, Newby Hall, Ripon North Yorkshire

A wonderful weekend in a delightful cottage. Positive: The cottage was beautifully presented with all the essentials we needed. It was comfortable and spacious with a lovely view from the pretty garden. The snug was a great bonus as we have teenagers who like to spreadout! We were lucky to have some beautiful spring sunshine and enjoyed watching rabbits, squirrels, sheep and ducks whilst sitting in the garden with a drink. Negative: Although the cottage is not overlooked, it would benefit from a blind for the glass in the front door as it's not frosted. The barbeque area was lovely but it is a walk from the cottage. Instead we barbecued in the garden to avoid carrying everything there and back again and disturbing the neighbours.

Absolutely fantastic accommodation - suited our needs perfectly. Positive: A few days of walking in North Yorkshire with a dog in tow.

Possibly the best holiday cottage we have stayed in, and we’ve stayed in quite a few! Positive: Spacious, comfortable and beautifully decorated & equiped Negative: No loo in the en-suite but that really is being overly picky!

A wonderful stay in a rural location. Close to many local attractions. Would highly recommend. Positive: Immaculate and very well equipped. Very quiet. Very comfortable. Charming and helpful hosts. Negative: Lack of a toilet in the en-suite

A very relaxing and peaceful stay, comfortable and spacious Positive: A very spacious but homely cottage, very clean and beautifully furnished. Well equipped kitchen and some lovely extra touches, bread, eggs, milk, butter and tea and coffee provided, fresh flowers and lamps on when we arrived made it very welcoming. Ample parking and a quiet and relaxing location. Kind and helpful hosts Negative: The stairs are quite steep.
