Second visit to The Old Doghouse. It was just how we remembered and is an excellent base for exploring York and beyond.
Fabulous cottage in a great location to spend the week exploring such a variety of different places on your doorstep. ..its quiet...relaxing and feels so homely...would definitely return....5 stars
Nicola
What a beautiful cottage, in a lovely setting. Very comfortable and tastefully decorated. The kitchen was well stocked with everything you need for a break away. A very extensive welcome pack was supplied, which was a lovely touch. A radio in the cottage would have been the icing on the cake. The bedrooms were very comfortable with ample storage space. The local pubs were very welcoming and the food was extremely tasty. Would definitely recommend staying here.

Stunning cottage with an excellent host in Claire. The cottage was simply perfect, it had everything we needed for a wonderful stay. The grounds were immaculate too! We loved spending time in the hot tub in the evening after a day out with the gorgeous views. The location was perfect for us to travel to York and the East coast. We will definitely be returning to this wonderful cottage. We loved it. Can highly recommend!

The house was amazing. It was comfortable, clean and had everything that you needed. The hosts welcomed us with a very generous welcome pack.

Dionne
Had a brilliant week in 'The Old Dog House'! House was comfortable, super clean & really lovely! No washing machine which was totally an oversight on my part as one wasn't listed, but it would have made it perfect. Would definitely recommend the property however. It was lovely & quiet in beautiful surroundings but close enough with a car to everything you needed & more. A great holiday was had by all!
SUCH A WONDERFUL STAY AT THE OLD DOG HOUSE FOR MY BIRTHDAY WEEK. LOVELY AND CLEAN AND LOVELY OWNERS. GREAT VIEWS FROM THE HOT TUB TO RELAX IN AT THE END OF THE DAY. THIS PLACE HAS EVERYTHING YOU NEED PLUS A BIT MORE TOO. AS ALWAYS THE BOOKING THROUGH SYKES WAS FAULTLESS. THANK YOU,I ALWAYS SEEM TO FIND THAT SPECIAL PLACE I AM LOOKING FOR WITH SYKES.
Such a beautiful, spacious and peaceful property but still within a short drive of everything you might need. Kept myself, my teenage twins and our little dog happy Would certainly recommend and have rebooked for Easter next year !
Heather
This is an amazing cottage. Really comfortable and well situated near to York. Loved star gazing in the hot tub. Thank you for a lovely holiday.
Wonderful stay , wonderful hosts ! Wish we could have stayed another week!
Gareth
The Old Dog House cottage was an absolutely delightful place to make a base and explore Yorkshire. Everything inside is complete to a very high standard, very clean and tidy really good communication with the owner and absolutely going back there at some point. A really wonderful family break and having such a lovely cottage to go back to at the end of each day really was the icing on the cake!
Lovely property with everything you need for a comfortable stay. Claire was very helpful and provided a welcome pack of fooddrinks, which was much appreciated, when we arrived. Hot tub was lovely with fab views of surrounding area, very relaxing. Pizza oven is no longer in use unfortunately but not a huge problem for us. Would recommend to those who are looking for a relaxing getaway.
