Cobblers Cottage

Our party of 8 adults, 2 toddlers, 3 babies and a dog stopped here for a NYE break, and the cottage was great. We had a chilled break, went into York for the day, cooked meals, had a takeaway and enjoyed the hot tub. I'd recommend this place to others without a doubt, and hope to stay here again. If there was a tiny niggle, I'd say the kitchen could be better equipped I guess items have been broken or lost by previous guests but not yet replaced and little things like cleaning spray and a washing up brush and sponge would help, but these are just small opportunities for improvement. We had some requests for the owner. They were friendly, responsive and helpful. Thanks so much

Lovely house plenty of room , bedrooms spacious with super king beds. The only flaw was not enough bathrooms. one family bathroom and one ensuite is a big ask for 10 people . Apart from that , a good time had by all .

SO, TLDR nice house, worked well, kitchen facilities could do with updating but a good base of operation. Longer version. Access is via a gated driveway. The gate controls take a little getting used to as theyre not a responsive as youd like, but work. There is a garden area, BBQ facilities and hot tub, which was cleaned at least twice whilst we were there for sure. Property was clean save for left over pants from a previous resident fortunately just left in a drawer and tidy. There are three bedrooms on the first floor, 2 on the second. W.C is on the ground floor, family bathroom including shower and separate bath with over bath shower on 1st floor, and ensuite bathroom to one bedroom on 1st floor. No bathroom on 2nd floors there is quite a lot of sharing. Not a problem for us mind you. The communal space is good, with a hat tip for a good TV in each bedroom one in the living room and good WIFI meaning that connectivity was not an issue. Underfloor heating on ground floor rads upstairs. It was blazingly warm as theyd left the heating on in August! Kitchen wise, its a good size with plenty of plates and cutlery but not great pots and pans, and only one pint glass they definitely need another IKEA trip youll get that Swedish vibe at the kitchen contents. It does have a drip coffee maker, LPG hob and electric range oven. Theres a utility room with washing machine and tumble dryer. For a holiday home it was great. A good launch point to things in the area. Countryside wise, it isnt particularly interesting and youll have to drive if you want a hill or moorland to see. There is a local pub which had just reopened, and we had a decent dinner, and a 30 40 minute walk to the next village which had a bit more going on Cawood or a 10 minute drive to Selby. Complaints wise are pretty slim the kitchen could do with a restock, the finishing to a lot of the property isnt great but what do I care when Im on holiday for a week?! There could do with better instructions on things like bins, heating etc we worked it all out, but could have been clearer. Itd have been nice to have a bathroom on 1st floor, or one more ensuite but Id also like the moon on a stick. What was good was that the host messaged me to let me know there was a planned power outage for the village, and the hot tub maintenance chap who made sure that the electric gates didnt trap us in the house whilst it went off! As two families with three kids between us it was a great staging point and had days out in York as well as a longer drive out to the beach which was well worth it.

We had a great stay here the house was lovely. It was immaculate and we felt at home immediately. The village is great and there is a nice pub and a good off road dog walk close by. The hot tub was lovely too! My only comment would be a door mat is needed by the patio doors for wet feet coming out of the hot tub or garden. Also the small section of grass between the utility back door and the hot tub area is not helpful when you have dogs or if you want to use the utility room to dry off as you have to walk in the dirt to get into the house.

An excellent week enjoyed by two families. Property was stunning in every aspect. Lovely gardens, nice big kitchen, hot tub, utility room. Given that 10 of us all week, an extra shower room would have been welcomed especially downstairs near the hot tub for prepost rinse, We managed though. Nice pub within walking distance and some nice country walks nearby to tire the dogs out. Would highly recommend!

We had an absolutely amazing stay here, the house was clean, welcoming and just as described! The hot tub was a fantastic bonus and the garden area feels nice and private! The rooms were big and comfy and the lounge big enough for our whole group to enjoy! Cant fault our stay here, will most definitely be booking again thank you!

Everyone was taken back with how nice this property was when we arrived. It blew our expectations away and made our weekend very enjoyable! We will certainly consider coming back for future events and recommend to our friends and family.

A very impressive comfortable and spacious property 3 generations of our family ... A very impressive comfortable and spacious property 3 generations of our family came from London, Surrey and Northumberland for a 75th birthday party and a great time was had by all and everyone mentioned the comfort of the beds the beautiful bathrooms the amount of space to enjoy a beautiful cottage in lovely surroundings hopefully we will be back

We stayed as a family of 10 over the Easter weekend and had the absolute best time. Couldnt fault any part of it location is perfect, garden is gorgeous and house is fabulous, hot tub was such a bonus too. Definitely plan on returning!

This property is beautiful! It's clean and so spacious that even with 10 adults in the house all day we never felt like we were on top of each other. The only feedback I can give that is not 100 positive is about tiny details. There were just a few things missing that would have been useful for our stay and might be worth bringing with you. Although there was a sweeping brush we could not find a hoover or a dustpan. That would have been handy! A mop would also be useful as we did find the floor got a little slippy when people dashed inside from the hot tub. There was no kitchen spray, this would have been useful after cooking and especially for use on the glass dining table I brought some surface wipes but the table was smeared for the entire weekend. It might have been useful to have some plastic cups to use in the hot tub, there are some tiny beakers for kids but they were not big enough for a decent prosecco. This is something some guests have experienced in other places and seemed like it would be a good idea. Although the listing said complimentary toiletries, there were 2 tiny shampoos, 2 tiny conditioners, and 2 tiny body washes. We had quite a few people in our party of 10 who thought they wouldn't bother packing these as the listing included them but there was nowhere near enough. The wifi password was on one sticker on the top floor of the house but could not be read off the back of the router as it had rubbed off. Having this somewhere more clearly such as on the wall perhaps with a qr code to join would have been handy. It would have been useful to have a couple of extra towels to put on the floor inside the folding doors for when people come inside after being in the hot tub. The dining table had 10 chairs but getting everyone around the table was a bit of a squeeze and it does seem like there is room for a bigger table. This may seem like a long list but really these are all tiny things that only had a small impact on the quality of our stay, I wanted to note them as some of them would be really easy to fix and would have made our stay absolutely perfect. We really enjoyed our stay and I would recommend this property to anyone, just with the above as things to be aware of.

Brilliant stay, cottage was beautiful. If you need a taxi during your stay book in advance, We wanted 2 taxis at 4.30pm Saturday and rang every firm in Selby, ended up driving.

Gorgeous location, and beautiful house. Kitchen very well equipped, and spacious. The house was spotlessly clean and well set out. In my party there was 5 adults and 4 children there was ample space for all to enjoy. I would definitely recommend, and hopefully will return again at some point.

Overall the property was clean and well stocked and we really enjoyed our stay The hot tub is a definite plus. There are areas that could be improved i.e. the dining room table and chairs are in need of maintenance as the joints are coming apart. The living room furniture made from metal angles has some very sharp corners which are lethal for small children. The showers could do with a deep clean to remove mould build up. The garden toy box needs checking to ensure the toys are useable.

The house was very spacious for 8 of us, very attractive and well furnished, we all, both young and old very much enjoyed it. The sitting room was extremely comfy with lots of settees and the kitchen was wellequipped. The beds were much appreciated, very comfy. One bedroom would have benefitted from either a wardrobe or sets of drawers. Others were well provided for. the temperature in the main bathroom shower was quite difficult to adjust. We appreciated he garden furniture , the children especially enjoyed the outdoor games. The contact manager was extremely helpful and efficient. Totally recommend the Fish and Chip shop in the village. We enjoyed a memorable stay thankyou.

A really lovely house and garden for a family gettogether. Previous reviews cover most points we would raise. However, disappointingly the front porch wasn't very welcoming it needed cleaning and the firepit was disgusting as it had been used as an ashtray! The BBQ also needed cleaning and the outside generally needed some TLC. Inside was clean, comfortable and well equipped though some of the chipped plates and mugs should be removedreplaced. A couple of issues we raised were dealt with quickly over the phone but we should point out that the travel cot is a very small one even for a 19 month old baby. Having said all that we would return and also recommend Cobbler's Cottage as a great place for a gettogether in the hope that these issues will be addressed. We had a lovely stay with lots of space for everyone.

We loved our stay at Cobblers Cottage. The house is beautiful, and more than big enough for 8 of us. The hot tub was ready for our arrival and the amazing weather meant we were able to make the most of the expansive garden and bbq. The beds are so comfortable and the welcome basket was a lovely touch, thank you so much We will definitely be returning

The cottage was incredible, the pictures actually didnt do it justice. It was so comfortable and absolutely stunning throughout, strongly recommend for a small girls trip or a family break as it would cater for any type of trip.

Lovely big house, very comfortable, beds are huge and comfy. Highly recommend

A beautiful cottage in a great location, quick drive into Selby and a lovely local pub over the road. Hot tub was fab and the treats that were there for us was a nice surprise. My only gripe is that when we arrived it was absolutely freezing in the house, especially upstairs. We had a brilliant stay, Thank you very much

We couldn't fault our stay at Cobbler's Cottage. It is an absolutely beautiful property. It was clean, everything you would need was provided in a beautiful location. The hot tub was perfect too! Thank you for the lovely welcome basket!

The cottage is absolutely gorgeous. Even better than the photos. Would definitely stay here again. The only thing I would say is the floor was a little bit dirty when we arrived and the hot tub should be cleaned more, we were there for 6 days and it only got cleaned once.

We have stayed at numerous holiday cottages over the years and this has certainly ticked all of the boxes. We had a wonderful holiday from start to finish as this is such a wonderful location and so peaceful. The property is in lovely condition and has been well thought out, giving everyone plenty of space. The welcome pack was very generous and everywhere was clean and tidy. There is ample crockery and cutlery, even when the dishwasher was full. All bedding was of a good quality and towels were lovely and soft. The garden facilities were excellent, the garden games box was well used by the children, the hot tub and fire pit were an added bonus and everyone enjoyed sitting out with the garden lights. The garden is totally secure, which meant we didnt need to worry if the children or dogs ran out into the garden. It was handy to have an outdoor tap to wash the dog and a dog towel was provided. Its great to have TVs in all of the bedrooms and the WiFi signal strength was more than adequate. The only thing missing was a teatowel for the kitchen, but we always take one with us. The shower water pressure was low from time to time but with a bit of organising shower times it didnt pose a big problem. The owners have certainly tried to think of everything for a relaxing holiday home and have obviously taken on board previous comments by guests. We would certainly recommend this to anyone looking for a peaceful, spacious property in a great area of the country as this felt more like a home from home than a holiday.

The property was extremely clean and well presented. It is also clear that the owners have taken on previous comments, so there was ample seating for the dining table and in the garden, and fans were available for the top rooms. There was an issue with water pressure in the showers, but only when both main showers were being used at the same time. Some details about dayscycle for bin collections would have been helpful as the main bins were more than half full when we arrived, and we almost missed a collection. On the whole a spacious and comfortable place for a break with the whole family

Lovely cottage and garden perfect for the children to play in without fear of damaging anything. Owners helpful and friendly, hot tub serviced regularly and small maintenance jobs attended to quickly. It was very warm weather when we were there and the bedrooms very hot. We bought fans for each room which helped a great deal.

Unfortunately we couldnt make much use of the hot tub as it wasnt working at all first day and then wouldnt stay at temperature throughout. More seatingbetter use of space would be useful for lounging it may sleep 10 but lounge only for 5 comfortably. Similarly plenty of glasses but only 5 dinner mats to protect the glass table and the main outdoor seating was for 4 people. The rooms at the top of the house are stifling hot even when not overly hot outside. The water pressure is dire and makes showers longer not as cleanly. However, the cottage is very well presented and the owners did get the hot tub fixed swiftly to at least be working.
