Tithe Cottage is very clean and nicely equipped. We especially enjoyed the sunny sitting room that opens into the enclosed back yard garden.The location was perfect for exploring my family's ancestoral village and Spofforth Castle. We enjoyed a day York, plus a visit to Betty's in Harrogate.There is easy access to delightful countryside walking paths. The Kirkby Overblow local pub, Shoulder of Mutton, is within a quite short walking distance. It's very welcoming, with great food.Thanks to Charlie for hosting us at Tithe Cottage. We would come again!
