The owner was very friendly and helpful. I wouldn't hestitate to stay there again, or to recommend it to friends.

Relaxed atmosphere in the house, well equipped, and friendly owners when we needed any help or info. Marvellous to find space under one roof where 10 members of our family (3 generations) could get together.
Mrs Jones, North Shields, Tyne and Wear

This was a very warm house and had plenty of hot water which was a blessing as the week we went it snowed and was very cold. The welcome by the owners was lovely, even with a home made cake. Everything you could think of was there. We loved this house and would recommend it to anyone. The children's bedroom on the top floor was lovely especially with the den of games and toys. Our little boy did not want to come home and it is the first time in three years he has stayed in his own bed all night!

The house is very attractive, well provided and is in a very convenient location on the edge of Leyburn. Every member of the party thoroughly enjoyed their stay.

Small touches such as really good soap, and new towels provided - also a home made cake on arrival.

The house is wonderful - real 'home from home'. The owner was incredibly helpful. The house is great for a family reunion - and Leyburn is an excellent location. Real Yorkshire town with local shops and restuarants and set in wonderful scenery.
