The property has quiet street views and is 11 km from Raby Castle and 24 km from Richmond Castle. The accommodation features luggage storage space and bicycle parking for guests. The best part was The warm personal welcome and care for a guests needs. My room, the lounge, the breakfast room, and the bathroom were all of old fashioned, leaning to Victorian beauty and comfort. The breakfast was superb with locally sourced butcher’s bacon and sausage far superior to the supermarket fare I’ve been served in cafes. Breakfast was prepared with attention to aesthetic appearance as well as delicious taste. The room and bathroom were thoughtfully supplied with everything one could need from face cloth to a luxurious bathrobe with thick, plush towels and bedding, good heating, and more amenities in between.
