Mollie

Had a fantastic stay at the Rising Sun! Everything was to a high standard, clean and tidy. Warm when we arrived and hot tub was clean and ready to go. The host kept in touch with us throughout our stay, even topped up the logs when we needed and had the tub warm for when we returned from been out for the day. Location is spot on! Lots of lovely places to visit nearby and shops around the corner. Site was maintained to a high standard, easy to get to and very clear instructions on how to get there Couldn't have been more perfect! Will definitely book again!

Brilliant 5 day stay. Spotlessly clean, great location, great facilities, awesome wood fired hot tub and Stella couldn't do enough for us. Highly recommended.

Gareth

Absolutely stunning place,brand new immaculate inside and out. Very helpful owner not that we met but received text message with details before arrival, a message to check we're were happy and a message with some to dos in the area. We travelled to dalby forest for a walk about 40 min away ,stunning,we went to Malton little nearby town full of little shops and one day travelled to whitby Bay again about 40min then relaxed in in hot tub with bottle of wine,perfect! We're going to return ASAP.

Devante

Amazing stay, amazing hosts. Would highly recommend

Had a lovely last minute break. The hosts are excellent and will do anything to help you have a great stay. We'll equipped for two. We stayed on the hottest week of the year & the owner provided a fan without being asked. The hot tub is brilliant once the weather had cooled down. One slight negative is the bed felt a little small. A king size would make it perfect. Just our preference. Lots of lovely villages to explore around the area. Great walking area.

Lovely accommodation, home from home, great location, private, peaceful and relaxing, perfect. Will visit again.

Had a very good trip. The cabin was very clean, well equipped and stylish. We loved the hot tub and the rural views.

Charlie

Booked very last minute but if Id of known about the place sooner wouldve booked ages ago! Highly recommend for any couples wanting a get away! We are very picky when choosing places but rising sun was everything we wanted. Every little detail is spot on and perfect size place to stay. Very out of the way if you want somewhere to relax and chill out. the hot tub is a great size and the fire inside is an added bonus on a night! The bed is very comfy and the area around is silent on a night so get a great sleep. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting somewhere to stay in the area or just for anyone who needs a get away! Will 100 return!
