Relaxing in Staveley
Well located spacious cottage with views. Comfortable bed & seating. Kitchen & washing machine very adequate. Thanks to our host Emma who met us on arrival, was very helpful and made us feel at home. Good selection of local information provided. Fast wifi helped as our 3 phone nework signal was erratic.

A very cosy and charming cottage with a pleasant and private outdoor space. It was very well equipped with everything required for a pleasant stay. It is also very well located for exploring the North Yorkshire area, with Harrogate and York within easy reach by car.

Lovely peaceful escape
Comfortable and well equipped home from home. Welcoming and communicative hosts and an excellent guide to the local area. The parking disc was a handy and thoughtful idea! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Cooked a few nights in, kitchen is fine and functional. The bath is large and lovely and the bed comfortable . One big comfy sofa with extra blankets would be an upgrade to the living room. Thank you! <3

Cosy and comfortable, great location
The cottage was ideal for our stay in Yorkshire. Great location ... nice and quiet in a pretty village with a lovely nature reserve and decent pub. Easy reach of the Dales, Ripon, York, Harrogate and Fountains Abbey. Easy check in with private parking. The windfall apples were a bonus! Warm and comfy, decent WiFi and TV that worked. We had a small problem with the toilet but Emma got it repaired swiftly and without a fuss. Would definitely stay again.

Lovely 6 nights in Yorkshire countryside
Cozy cottage with all necessary facilities, and GREAT hosts who responded caringly to all requests. We are 70 year old "quite well travelled adventurers" and found delightful market towns, picnic spots.. and pubs in vicinity. The evening walk to the local was very pleasant, the food portions generous, and daily dishes enjoyable. Special thanks to our hosts who were very attentive to our arthiritic needs in climbing the 7 or 8 stairs when entering and leaving the cottage. Strongly recommended.

An enjoyable stay in a lovely quiet village
The cottage was OK but some of the fixtures and fittings seemed a little tired e.g. The kitchen work tops are badly worn, the duvet on the bed was a 13.5 tog far too warm for the summer months and the spare duvet was not a duvet and was stained. However we did enjoy our stay.

About the host

Hosted by Emma Summersgill

Host profile image
My husband Tim and I have lived in North Yorkshire for most of our lives. The Cottage is in the grounds of our house so we will usually be on hand to offer as much or little assistance as you require

We moved here with our 2 children for them to experience village life yet be near enough to the towns and attractions we also enjoy experiencing.

Kind regards, Emma

Why they chose this property

Staveley is nearer our friends, families and places we enjoy visiting. Minutes from the A1 yet overlooking open fields and hearing birds singing makes this our perfect location.

What makes this property unique

So many of the most beautiful attractions in Yorkshire are within a 30 minute drive of this property, no need to spend all day in the car finding places to enjoy
