“The property was lovely and clean and ideally located bang in the middle of Thornton-le-Dale. Little niggles like the teapot being put away not clean and slightly cracked and the bathroom mirror cabinet door was loose at the top so we didn’t use either item. We did struggle to get a breeze in the cottage to keep cool so would recommend bringing fans to use. I would definitely recommend the cottage for a holiday let and would have no problems renting this cottage again. The hosts were great too. Really friendly and responsive.”
