Well located spacious cottage with views. Comfortable bed & seating. Kitchen & washing machine very adequate. Thanks to our host Emma who met us on arrival, was very helpful and made us feel at home.

Lovely 6 nights in Yorkshire countryside
Cozy cottage with all necessary facilities, and GREAT hosts who responded caringly to all requests. We are 70 year old "quite well travelled adventurers" and found delightful market towns, picnic spots.. and pubs in vicinity. The evening walk to the local was very pleasant, the food portions generous, and daily dishes enjoyable. Special thanks to our hosts who were very attentive to our arthiritic needs in climbing the 7 or 8 stairs when entering and leaving the cottage. Strongly recommended.

An enjoyable stay in a lovely quiet village
The cottage was OK but some of the fixtures and fittings seemed a little tired e.g. The kitchen work tops are badly worn, the duvet on the bed was a 13.5 tog far too warm for the summer months and the spare duvet was not a duvet and was stained. However we did enjoy our stay.

Good location and peaceful
Although this property is in peaceful countryside it is only 10 minutes away from a large supermarket and the A1(M) for access much further afield. This was ideal because we visited a lot of friends. We also needed an EV charging point but this was also close by. Emma was very welcoming and helpful in making suggestions for our exploring. The property was well equipped for 2 and very cosy.

Lovely cosy cottage in a beautiful setting. Great directions and it was lovely to meet Emma once we had settled in. Comfy bed, great shower. The teabags and milk were appreciated, thank you! Easy walk to the Staveley Nature Reserve and the Royal Oak pub (although the staff didn't come across as friendly!). Would recommend The Two Brothers, Italian, in Knaresborough.

Stayed 5 nights in this Cosy Cottage, arrived to find Milk and a bottle of Wine in Fridge to welcome us (Thank you Emma). Could not fault the cleanliness, fully equipped with everything you need for your stay. Emma was not around when we arrived but popped in to brief us on Heating controls etc shortly after. Ideal spot to stay while visiting area, Village and Nature Trail short walk from Cottage. Bumped into many Locals on our Walks and everyone very friendly. Highly Recommend.

Very happy with this property, it was quiet and relaxing, it was very clean and had all we needed, the owner was lovely, was going to change a duvet cover that had a mark on it, which I hadn’t seen, other than that we didn’t see them, I would definitely recommend as a place to stay, communication was very good

Fantastic weekend away
Really enjoyed our stay at Gardeners cottage , the cottage was very comfortable and had everything that we needed . The bottle of wine and milk left in the fridge on our arrival was a really lovely touch from the owner Emma. Emma was very welcoming and friendly and called in on us , to check we had settled in and had everything we needed. The cottage is located in a lovely area , right by Staveley nature trail , which we enjoyed exploring on a beautiful sunny day . We highly recommend the local pub -the Royal Oak for food and drink , the owners were very welcoming and the meals delicious .The cottage is located in a great area for exploring the local towns -like knaresborough, Boroughbridge and York . We will definitely book again and will be recommending Gardeners cottage to friends and family .
