    “Had a lovely stay at York House, only down side was 1 WC could do with another downstairs especially when holidaying with elderly relatives, the downstairs bedroom would welcome an en suite in our opinion.”

    The only other thing which is out of the owners control is the really busy road, and difficulty parking, when trying to get all of your luggage and shopping across the road whilst only being able to open one side of the car due to the kerb, it was quite scary at times as we had 2 elderly relatives and a child plus the road noise was quite bad early morning.

    The only other thing which is out of the owners control is the really busy road, and difficulty parking, when trying to get all of your luggage and shopping across the road whilst only being able to open one side of the car due to the kerb, it was quite scary at times as we had 2 elderly relatives and a child plus the road noise was quite bad early morning. Apart from that we had a perfect stay the house is clean, cosy yet spacious and we had everything we needed, we ate ate at the Fox and Rabbit a few miles up the road which was fabulous and also The Buck Inn, wouldn’t recommend The Buck Inn simply because of the noisy locals shouting and swearing whilst we were trying to have a family meal. Half an hour from Whitby which was a nice day out. Close to Dalby and Pickering also nice days out. Just a 10 minute walk from the village lovely walks and a fabulous ice cream parlour, fish and chip shop was really good and there is a grocery store selling everything you could need. All in all a lovely break and we were lucky with the weather too which was a bonus!

    Many thanks for your comments. The en-suite down stairs would certainly be a good idea. I am unsure whether this is possible due to the drainage. The road can bebusy at times. Parking is well documented in the welcome information with an alternative option a short distance up the road. Hope to see you again Property Owner
