Lily Cottage is an absolute delight. Beautifully presented, spotlessly clean, very cosy & in a quiet village. Although our car was too big for the parking space, we simply parked further along the road with no issues. Within walking distance of the pub & convenience store. Lots of nice dog walks around the village. Would definitely recommend.

This is a great cottage. We were four adults. I think thats a little bit of a push unless you dont mind a bit of a squeeze. Property would suit a couple with two small children. We found parking up the road as the vehicle we were in was too big for the parking area I think if we had had a small car, say something like a fiesta size we may have beenRead more okay. This is a lovely quiet village and the pub is a must we had Sunday lunch and it was great. Its also quite close to York so not too far. Hide
