The best VRBO property we have stayed in!

We had a little mix up with the numbers for the lock box, but it was no worries at all, because we had prompt and efficient replies from the host.Clean and comfortable, directly across from the Castle Inn where we had a divine meal.

Spofforth stay

Really enjoyed our stay. The house was clean and well appointed. Situated right in the center of the village. The village itself doesn’t have a lot however it is a short drive to both Wetherby and Harrogate which have lots to offer.

Perfect little paradise

House was perfect - set in a very quiet and peaceful place a stones-throw from a good shop and an amazing pub. House itself was spotless and perfect for what we needed - beds were comfortable, shower was great and we had everything we needed. Check in process easy and the parking was also great. Can’t fault it at all. Thanks so so much - we will be back x

Amazing property, lovely location, great communication from host and comfy beds. Perfectly clean, only the fridge and freezer could have done with a clean. Would have been useful for the soap/shampoo etc dispensers to be labelled as to which was which.

A week in North Yorkshire

Property slightly smaller than expected but located very well. Nice pub and little shop across the street. Very well placed with much to do in the surrounding area without a long drive. York 45 minutes away, beautiful countryside, Harrogate a few minutes away, good restaurants in the area. The best of country and city life available to you near Spofforth.

Lovely house in a great village

We had a wonderful stay in this 3 bedroom cottage. The property has been beautifully decorated and has all the amenities that you need to enjoy your holiday. The location is fantastic giving you easy access to Harrogate, Wetherby and beyond to the wonderful Yorkshire countryside. The pub across the road is great for food and drinks as well. Communication with Georgie was excellent and the process for arrival and departure very simple. All in all a great holiday and we look forward to staying again sometime in the future.

Excellent location, excellent accommodation!

Extremely comfortable beds, beautifully decorated. Excellent location. The only negative is that it sleeps 6 yet the dining table is only for 2. It would fit a bigger table with 4 chairs - I would definitely put one in! It meant that eating here as a family was impossible. Otherwise great.

Little piece of heaven on earth

Words would never be enough to explain how beautiful castle cottage really is . You need to go to experience the warmth feeling this gives you . From opening the front door you would be blown away with the cleanliness and attention to detail that has been given to the property . Beds are so comfy , great shower , plenty of space . If we could of stayed we would of . Pub across the road is worth a visit . ShoP has a bakery which smells amazing they are very informative about their products .

Lovely cottage close to Harrogate with amenities on the doorstep.

First class- a charming cottage very tastefully decorated and clean. Great pub just over the road for an evening meal. With walks on the doorstep too and only 6 miles for Harrogate so found it a great location for our weekend away with friends.

Spofforth stay

This property was home from home, super clean (4 in a bed standard!), and we didn’t want to leave. Will definitely return, beautiful house in a beautiful location-pub and shop across the road. Only issue some may not like is that it’s situated by the road, this didn’t bother us in the slightest. Thanks Georgie for letting us stay in your lovely home.
