Great value90% of recent guests gave this home’s value a 5-star rating.

A secluded getaway. Night life only extends to the twit twooing of the owls. Nestled into the forest with a beck trickling by. It's perfect for those wishing to log out and explore the countryside on foot. Tons of walks including a gorgeous 4 mile round walk taking in 11th-centuary Rievaulx Abbey ruins and a cup of tea at the cafe along the way. The chocolate box town of Helmsley is just five miles away with walled garden, castle ruins, shops, restaurants and amenities.

If you want total peace and quiet away from everything then this is the place to go. Felt I was in a Famous Fve book living in the woods! Nothing but pheasants, butterflies and the sound of the stream to relax to. Lovely to have the 2 little dogs running around too. A very specia…

We had a lovely short break here. Wonderfully isolated with great walks and lovely personal touches at this stream-side cabin. The food was excellent!
