Testimonials
"I would like to say a very big thank you for providing us with such a beautiful and well presented cottage. Both myself and Sally really enjoyed the weekend. It turned out to be everything we had hoped for, and more. A real home from home. The weather stayed fine enough for us to get out and about. But whilst we were in the cottage we wanted for nothing. We found it to be well equipped with pretty much everything that we required. Altogether it turned out to be the perfect setting for our engagement. We will be definitely be recommending the cottage to our family and friends. We would have no hesitation in visiting again." Nigel Malton, 12-14 Feb 2010

"The kitchen appliances are excellent. The Neff oven is a dream to cook with. The bed is very comfortable and there was everything else we needed - more than we have had at other cottages, all included in the cost." Brenda & Richard Garrett, 7 November, 2009
"We had a really lovely relaxing break at your cottage in Marlcliff. The cottage itself lived up to our expectations. Being so nicely furnished and well finished made it very homely and welcoming for us and just what we were looking for. Having an open fire in the living room meant it very felt cosy in the evenings for playing board games and relaxing, and the kitchen was perfectly equipped for traditional home-cooked country dinners. The little touches such as arriving to milk in the fridge, chocolates and a welcome pack were well received and a great help in first settling in! We would definitely recommend it all to friends and family in the future. Thank you again for all your help and for making it such a pleasant place to stay." Ellie Shrimpton, 6 November, 2009
