Rising Sun Reviews

Sophie
We loved our stay here! Place was spotlessly clean. Kitchen was well kitted out with everything needed. Lovely touches like saltpepperteacoffeetoilet rollbody wash etc already stocked and the welcome hamper which included milk and a bottle of Prosecco was very thoughtful. Walks from the doorstep and too many to choose from only a short drive away so the location was fantastic and amazing to come back to the hot tub after a long day of walking. Owners are very attentive and communication was brilliant to ensure we enjoyed our stay. Things to note no dishwasher and hot tub is exactly that, not a jacuzzi, so no jetsbubbles. Didnt affect anything for us we loved it but some may want to be aware of that. We cant wait to come back. Highly recommend!
Me and my partner had an amazing stay at this cabin! The location was peaceful, surrounded by nature, we even spotted the barn owl with a mouse in hand for tea
Our hosts were fabulous, the cottage perfect gorgeous sunrises and sunsets and the hot tub was amazing
Gordon
Just a lovely place to stay, close to so many places of interest also easy to find public houses to eat.
We had such a relaxing stay at Rising Sun. Very comfy bed, fantastic bathroom the shower is amazing!, and lovely location. The owners are really friendly. We'll definitely be back. Absolutely faultless!
Lovely spacious property which surpassed our expectations with considerate owners who are keen to ensure their guests are comfortable. The log fired hot tub was read for our arrival and a bottle of chilled bubbly awaited

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!
