Little cottage with just the right size for two people. Not perfect, but it met our expectations. Fully equipped, peaceful, with many sights (country houses, abbeys, gardens, villages) within a 30-45 min's drive. Friendly and helpful hosts.
A very cosy and charming cottage with a pleasant and private outdoor space. It was very well equipped with everything required for a pleasant stay. It is also very well located for exploring the North Yorkshire area, with Harrogate and York within easy reach by car.
Emma sent us very clear directions and gave us a lovely welcome. Gardener's Cottage is well cared for, comfortable and in a lovely setting. It's is cosy but not cramped. We had a lovely holiday with highlights including Bribham Rocks and Fountains Abbey (both so much more extensive and stunning than we expected), Knaresborough's river Nidd (with stunning viaduct views from the castle and museum), and Harrogate's gardens all the way from the centre to RHS Harlow Carr. Betty's tea rooms deserve their famous reputation several times over. It was always nice to come back to our comfy cosy cottage at the end of another happy day out. We have had a great holiday. Thank you Emma.
Comfortable and well equipped cottage. Location is in a lovely, quiet village but easy to get to all the main tourist attractions.Bed comfortable and good shower. Kitchen has full cooker, microwave, washing machine and dishwasher. Private garden area. Hosts welciming and helpful.

About the host
Hosted by Emma Summersgill
My husband Tim and I have lived in North Yorkshire for most of our lives. The Cottage is in the grounds of our house so we will usually be on hand to offer as much or little assistance as you require
We moved here with our 2 children for them to experience village life yet be near enough to the towns and attractions we also enjoy experiencing.
Kind regards, Emma
