The Old Mill Hideaway Reviews

Fantastic cottage, great location for exploring the area huge amount to see! Cottage very clean, well equipped facilities. Owners very polite, had an introductory chat on arrival and another at the end of the week before we left, the owners then keep themselves away, but always there should you need anything at all. To top it all, the hot tub area was fantastic for unwinding at the end of a long day of sightseeing, great wooden canopy which makes the hot tub enjoyable in all weather. Had a great, comfortable stay, would highly recommend.
One of the best cottages we've stayed in. Nicely furnished, clean & quiet. Kitchen well equipped which is sometimes a problem. PLUS HOT TUB! Highly recommend for nice romantic stay. I've got mobility issues and apart from couple of steps in, it's fine.
Another fabulous week at this most amazing cottage. It is beautifully kept with everything you could possibly want. Perfect for a peaceful, relaxing break.
Hilary
Our second stay at this lovely cottage. We love it here, it has everything we need and is comfortable and peaceful. Julie is very welcoming and provides a great welcome pack. Highly recommend. We will be back again soon
A brilliant week in a well appointed cottage with a great welcome from owners Julie and Dave. Despite changeable weather, I had a fantastic time, that was made easier by having such a great place to come back to, after a busy day. Julie and Dave were welcoming and very helpful when required. So much to see and do in the area, Im sure Ill be back when I am able and may even venture into the hot tub next time!
A brilliant holiday home. This cottage is second to none. It is a credit to the owners Julie & Dave for keeping everything immaculate. Thank you for a really lovely week.
Lovely property and great hot tub. Owner was very welcoming and left a nice gift basket
Hilary
Super little cottage perfect for two people but still spacious. Julie has thought of everything needed for an enjoyable holiday. Set in a lovely location overlooking countryside and it's a pleasant walk into the village. Enjoyed our week here, used the hot tub a few times, which was great and lit the log burner at night, which felt really cosy. Julie and Dave are lovely welcoming owners and provide a great welcome hamper, which we really appreciated. We will definitely return, hopefully in the summer. Thanks for everything Julie.
Steven
A lovely stay at Old Mill Hideaway. This is our 4th stay here. Lovely clean, well equipped place with a hot tub. We always enjoy coming back here.
We enjoyed a great stay at the Old Mill Hideaway. The host Julie met us to ensure we were happy with everything and was available if we needed anything, but our privacy was not imposed on at any time during our stay. Every thing you need was there, the welcome pack was a nice touch, It was spotlessly clean, The Hot Tub was ready on arrival one of the best top of the range we have used, The pub is very close and welcoming but does not serve food at all. We would definitely stay again and recommend without any hesitation. Many Thanks to Julie & Dave.
Beautiful cottage in a quiet spot but accessible to many towns. An added bonus is the hot tub plus the choice of a bath or shower. We were very cosy and comfortable and enjoyed our stay. We were greeted with a generous welcome pack and Julie the owner came over to check we had everything we needed. We visited Selby, York, Hornsea, Bridlington and Beverley. All a maximum of an hour away. Would definitely recommend a stay here.
Christine
Fabulous cottage ,lovely hosts. Very well equipped clean and homely Had a lovely time . Hot tub a delight to come back to after a day out , we would highly recommend . Thank you for the lovely goodies and setting bird feeders up so we can spot a few birds .
This cottage was perfect for a relaxing weekend away. The property was immaculate and very cosy, and it had been furnished to a high standard. The hosts were lovely, and they had thought of everything that you might need for your stay. The cottage is in a lovely little village with a great traditional pub.
Michelle
Outstanding! Cannot fault the property and the owners were absolutely fabulous nothing was too much trouble. This little cottage exceeded our expectations it was immaculate love the place. If anything I would say it is under priced for what you get. Cant wait to return in the near future.
Absolutely lovely place, exactly as advertised, location and facilities were brilliant.
Melanie
What a lovely place to stay super clean scents as you open the door! A relaxing and tasteful environment. Really friendly and perfect host yet totally respecting our privacy. The hot tub was very well maintained and great for a rainy stay with the bluetooth music, lights and shelter. Very modern and everything you could need was provided by the considerate host.
Lovely cottage in a peaceful village. Hosts were very welcoming. Hot tub was the finishing touch. Great location for visiting York, Harrogate and Whitby.
As one holiday cottage owner to another it was perfect! Clean and cosy! Thankyou for all the excellent weather! Hot tub was a bonus. Say hello to daffy for us
Shirley

Fantastic well looked after cottage with all amenities and very welcoming owners who provided a welcome hamper , and explained everything Short walk into village , very quiet and relaxing holiday and cant wait to return again
A fabulous cottage in a beautiful peaceful setting. Everything has been so well thought out, absolutely nothing is missing. The hot tub is a luxurious bonus. Friendly, helpful hosts without being intrusive, couldn't ask for more. Absolutely perfect in every way. Would definitely recommend and hope to return some day.
Steven
Such a lovely place to stay. We have been here 3 times now and we would thoroughly recommend it. Great hosts, fully equipped cottage and beautifully clean and cosy.
Great stay! Will return Thank you, great hosts.
Perfect setting for a chilled couples getaway. Owners very friendly but not intrusive. Views from the cottage were gorgeous and the private secluded hot tub was awesome. Facilities wise it has everything you would need including a bathroom to die for. Would recommend it to all my friends.
The Old Mill is a fantastic cottage in a great location. The property is spotlessly clean and equipped with everything you could possibly want to enjoy your holiday. The hosts provide a lovely welcome pack and are on hand if needed but in a very unobtrusive way. The hot tub is a great addition to the cottage. This is the nicest cottage we have stayed at in a very long time. Thoroughly recommended.
Second time back here. Fantastic property with wonderful owners
Eileen
Our second visit was as good as the first. Julie and Dave maintain this cottage to a very high standard, full marks to them. We will, hopefully, return.
Tracie
Cant fault anything about either accommodation or hosts. Simply Perfect.
Fabulous venue, so quiet and relaxing. So much thought has gone into just the design and furniture but the smaller details. There is NOTHING that has been overlooked in the kitchen and cooking utilities. Excellent and 5 Stars all round we will be back
Nicola
Absolute stunning wee house. Owners are lovely and very welcoming! It has everything you need for a relaxing break and is stunning inside and out. Can't fault anything and will certainly be back.
Julie and Dave, the owners extremely helpful and friendly. Property as described, very clean, excellently equipped and in a nice rural farming village. 10 Stars!!! Local shops in the adjacent village of Bubwith, although small, were adequate for most essentials, Sainsbury's in Selby fine for a bigger shop. Julie told us the Oaks Golf club accepts non members and has a good bar with bar food and an evening restaurant. York was very quick to get to. Further afield a trip to Filey via the Wolds is well worth the drive.
Matthew
Fantastic Hideaway, lovely quiet spot. Welcome basket a nice touch, well equipped and all to a very high standard. Hot Tub perfect for the evening with a few drinks
Exceptionally clean and well maintained. The owner Julie is very friendly and always on hand. One of the best holiday rentals I have ever stayed in
Amazing place to stay,would recommend to anyone! Perfect couple's getaway
Eileen
A superb Hideaway for a couple a wonderful property, thoughtfully equipped and maintained with care by the friendly owners. It is situated in a really attractive village and has easy access to lots of places of interest.
Fantastic place, spotlessly clean, very well equipped and great owners who were friendly and helpful. So good in fact, we're going back again in September!
Had a lovely stay,good location for getting about,lovely hosts,well equipped cottage very clean and maintained,a nice basket of goodies and a lovely hot tub to end your day,recommended to friends and family already.
Steven
Excellent, everything you could possibly need, spotlessly clean and the hot tub a luxurious bonus.
The place was highly recommended by my parents who stayed earlier in the year. They were raving about it so much that we instantly booked, and I am so glad we did. Cute little cottage had everything we needed. Julie was an amazing host. Very warm welcome provided, and was quick to fix an issue we had with one of the bedroom lamps. Using the rubber duck to let us know when the hot tub was available to use was so adorable. Thank you so much Julie. We had an amazing time.
This is the perfect Hideaway to get away from it all. The attention to detail Julie and Dave have put into this property is amazing, nothing has been overlooked. We had a fantastic week staying here and will be coming back again.
