We all had an amazing holiday - the weather cooperated beautifully so we were able to really enjoy the outdoors of North Yorkshire. The location of the cottage was just great and the views from cottage were fabulous. The added bonus of the pool, tennis court and playground meant the kids could always be occupied. The cottage was very comfortable and was a good home-from-home - games, tv, internet, washing machine and dryer, very comfortable beds and lovely hot showers! Helpful information book left at the cottage too. Some very minor suggestions would be to provide a few more chopping boards (...more

Our second stay at Old Oak Cottages, a beautiful, spacious and spotlessly clean lodge with every amenity you could possibly need. Three good sized bedrooms, large lounge/dining area, kitchen, utility room and hallway. Two bathrooms to use and a downstairs cloakroom with a toilet and shower. Whilst staying at Old Oak Cottage’s guests have the use of a large indoor swimming pool, each lodge has their own private time ( we needed to change our time on a couple of days and Amanda accommodated us on both days) there is also a communal time too. Lovely fresh towels are provided as is a welcome ham...more

Lovely accommodation and facilities perfect for a family break. Located right in the heart of the countryside offering beautiful scenic walks and not too far from the hustle and bustle of York or the more relaxed towns and villages nearby. The owners couldn’t be more helpful and provide spacious, clean accommodation with all the facilities you need. Highly recommend!

We would highly recommend a stay at Fox Cottage or any of the cottage’s on this property. A beautiful location, quiet, peaceful, comfortable and relaxing. We saw wildlife we hadn’t seen in years such as hares and deer and the cottage, pool and grounds were immaculate.the owners are lovely and so helpful if you need something or advice on the area. A great base to visit so many beautiful historical sites, the week was full of constant wows. We will definitely be booking again as we have fallen in love with North Yorkshire. Thank you for a wonderful stay.
