The garden shed is anything but. It's really a compact luxury apartment set in some beautiful English gardens. The small cosy fire was perfect for adding some lovely ambiance and being a short drive to the York park & ride and both Castle Howard made trips in both directions very easy. We'd certainly like to come back and visit again!

The garden shed was just as described. Karen was very welcoming on arrival and all the little touches made the stay all the more enjoyable. We would definitely stay again. Thank you!

Our 2 night stay at the garden shed was lovely. Karen and Adam were amazing with excellent hospitality. The shed is cosy and warm and has everything you need. The garden is beautiful and the chickens are fun to go and see. I would recommend this place to any couple looking for a getaway from the chaos. Loved it

We had a wonderful stay in the garden shed. Comfortable and cosy. It's unique and the attention to detail is wonderful

Karen was very welcoming, she went above and beyond with her hospitality. I am a film student and went to stay over and film for a final year project with my film crew. Karen provided us with access to anything we needed, and checked that we were okay and suggested places for us to visit in the area, as well as providing us with refreshments which we werent expecting. I would highly recommend staying at The Garden Shed, it is very cosy and has such a relaxing and comforting vibe that makes you feel at home. At the end of our stay, we didnt want to leave and we look forward to visiting again.

The shed was great and Karen went to great lenghts to make us feel welcome. The garden was excellent and very relaxing. We would go back.

Excellent cosy retreat. Rural but very close proximity to York and Castle Howard. Karen goes the extra mile with attention to detail. We even got a choice of red/white wine & choice of cake for our arrival! Very comfy bed, well equipped kitchen & a perfect little wood burner. Highly recommended :)

Excellent communication and very helpful in the lead up to our stay. A beautiful cosy place in beautiful gardens. Very easy to find and had everything you need for a comfortable stay. The shed was warm with a wood burner and heating, comfortable bed and perfect little kitchen and living room. highly recommended.

This is a great place - very quiet and peaceful, but also great place (secure with gate/fenced area) if staying with little children. Would definitely return.

This is a lovely little cabin in stunning and peaceful surroundings. A great experience for a girly night away in nature but with York shopping and dining a mere 10 minute drive away. Chrissy was so accommodating, kind and spot on with her loverly veggie breakfast basket she prepared for us. this spot is a true gem and Chrissy was a warm and lovely host. She really has created something special,

We loved it here and plan to come back some day soon. Very relaxing and brilliantly situated for York and trips out like to Castle Howard and Kirkham Abbey. We were made very welcome and if you visit make sure you have Chrissy's incredible molasses baked ham! Lastly, the beds are 'capsule' style (though with lots of head height). These give an amazingly good night's sleep. Thanks again for a lovely few days!

A lovely quaint place which met all our expectations. Chrissy was a gracious host and made us feel very welcome. My son has aspergers and Chrissy welcomed him in a loving and positive manner. The children loved the rural aspect and felt very at home exploring. Lovely and cosy. The sleeping pods were very effective and we slept well. We will visit again for certain!

I booked the lodge for myself, my partner, mum and dad for my dads 50th birthday surprise....I asked to decorate where we were staying with banners and it was no trouble for Chrissy. We all loved it. We preferred to stay in that than a hotel room as it is something different. Chrissy was helpful throughout our stay and she couldn't do enough for us. I would 100% recommend here to everyone and would definitely go back!

Felt very welcome,  beautiful tranquil setting. Kids loved the cabin, and they snuggled up warm.  Fairy lighting and candles throughout make this place really special. The washing and washing up facilities were in a nearby outbuilding, which wasn't heated, and the water barely luke warm. This is probably no issue at all in the summer, but in the snow, with no running water in the cabin, no sink in the kitchen, it was inconvenient.

Christine was really helpful a quick to get back to us. We booked late, and arrived late at night but nothing was an issue, and we always felt welcome. The accommodation is cosy and well suited for s short stay in the countryside.

Very cozy cabin with beautiful view of the night sky. Chrissy was friendly and welcoming. Overall a fun experience for those who don't mind the toilet to be outside. Would recommend checking in before the sun sets as the place was a bit difficult to find at night and there were no streetlights.

Great place, the hosts are very friendly and a great breakfast.

Good spot , as described in add . No dramas

Lovely spacious room which was very well equipped in a beautiful home, Their home has a calm and welcoming ambience the minute you walk through the door. Accommodation spotlessly clean. Breakfast was lovely. Liz and Jim are very friendly hosts and nothing was too much trouble. Thank you. We will definitely stay here again :-)

We really enjoyed our stay in Elizabeth’s house. Elizabeth and Jim are extremely friendly and open-minded people with in-depth knowledge about any aspects of the vicinity of York. It was a real pleasure to meet them. Right after the arrival they kindly offered us a welcome drink. The accommodation is in a quiet, rural location and York city center is less than 30 minutes by bus. The bus stop is just 1 minute from the house so we left our car at their place, because it was the most convenient and also cheapest option to visit York. The accommodation is very clean and tidy, and the beds are comfortable. The breakfast was really delicious. We highly recommend this place if you want to discover York and this beautiful area!

The host canceled this reservation 110 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Our hosts couldn't have been more welcoming. We were offered a drink as soon as we arrived and spent the evening chatting to them. Even before we arrived, Liz was so helpful in providing us with instructions/directions to enable us to catch the local bus from the centre of York that takes you to within 50 metres of the accommodation front door. The house is located in a very nice area The room was very comfortable and the bathroom facilities excellent. Breakfast superb! Many thanks Liz and Jim

Elizabeth was very welcoming to us in her lovely home. The room and house is decorated so well throughout. Access to the bathroom is just across from the room. Although the location is a little out of York, it suited us well for our trip as York is only a short drive away. Breakfast was varied and super tasty. Thanks for our stay! Jacqueline and Paulo

My partner and I enjoyed a comfortable weekend stay at Willoughby's Loft and we would've happily stayed much longer! Michelle was a lovely host and provided a few unexpected extras in the kitchen that were appreciated (and delicious!). Highly recommended for those wanting a getaway to York, without the cost and hassle of City Centre accommodation (the nearest park and ride is around 5mins away by car), comfortable, lovely surroundings and incredible value.

Willoughby's Loft is located in an idyllic countryside setting and the interior is exactly as is appears in the photos. The location is excellent for getting into York city centre by car and there is also a bus stop right around the corner. Michelle was an excellent host, giving us a warm welcome and having gingerbread bites which she had baked herself, ready for us when we arrived which was a really nice touch. Overall our stay was excellent and we would definitely return.

The loft was absolutely lovely and we were looked after very well by Michelle. We will definitely be recommending this lovely loft to our friends. Thanks for having us!

Beautiful cottage in the perfect location for a weekend getaway! Michelle is lovely and can't do enough for you! I would definitely recommend and I'm sure we will visit again in the near future

Michelle was exceptionally kind in letting my parents take over a booking I'd originally made with a girlfriend. By all accounts they had a lovely weekend and absolutely loved the place. Thanks Michelle! Amazing.

Michelle was an excellent host, she showed us around the loft when we arrived and taught us how to use all of the facilities. We had a lovely welcome pack which was greatly appreciated and the loft itself was beautiful, clean, and modern. Access to our own little garden was the icing on the cake! York is approximately 10 minutes away and we'd recommend using the Park and Ride if you're heading into the city as it's great value and the buses run about every 10 minutes. Can't recommend this place enough.

Stayed May 2017 had a fantastic time, all very straight forward, standards in the house very high, would stay again

The Old Granary is the kind of place you would love to come to for a relaxing and quiet holiday. It is in the village where it is serene and cosy enough but not too much of a drive into the city of York or other places that you might be looking forward to visit. It is pretty easy to drive down to, following your GPS, and most places of interest like Castle Howard, Yorkshire Lavender, Kirkham Priory are all very close by. It takes less than 30 minutes to get to York City Centre. The house is very clean, the kitchen is well-equipped and Stuart is just next door and is happy to help with suggestions. There is only one Indian restaurant nearby and it would make sense to get some food/take-away when you get back from your day's excursion. I would surely recommend this place as the perfect place to relax when you come to Yorkshire.

Our stay at The Old Granary was fantastic. The place is not difficult to find (even in the dark) with the directions given upon booking. Inside of the home is immaculate... very gorgeous, clean and comfortable. Stuart met us on arrival and departure and was very friendly. I would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for somewhere to stay in the area. My family and I had an incredible stay!

Beautiful cottage in a lovely little village. Great location for exploring all that Yorkshire has to offer. Really is a home from home with everything you need to make your stay enjoyable. The whole cottage is to decorated to a really high standard and I especially loved the huge bed in the master bedroom - it was so comfortable and had 2 of the best nights sleep I have had in a long time! We arrived to a complimentary bottle of wine as I had mentioned the trip was for my husbands birthday which was a really lovely and thoughtful gesture. Highly recommend

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in The Old Granary. It was the perfect location for exploring North Yorkshire set in a lovely quiet village. Arrangements for check in were super easy, and everything we needed to know about the cottage was set out in a really helpful folder. There was also plenty of information about things to do in the area on hand. The decor of the cottage beautiful with lovely finishing touches. The kitchen is very well set up, with everything you need to help prepare meals at home. The beds were lovely and comfortable and the towels as good as you would find in any 5 star resort. We really did not want to come home! Thanks for hosting us for such a lovely stay, we highly recommend.

Excellent location and host. A great stay.

Stuart was an excellent host and was onhand to show us round The Old Granary on our arrival. The place has very recently been renovated and we were very impressed with the overall finish. The Old Granary was perfect for our family as the large enclosed garden meant our kids and dog could play safely whilst we relaxed indoors or were cooking. The setting in the heart of a very picturesque village was also exactly as we'd hoped when we booked - highly recommend.

The house was exactly as described & all very clean, tidy & welcoming. Would definitely stay again. Internet speed was great, great sized beds & bedrooms, all currently fitted out as new & good size garden available for use.

Accommodations were clean and comfortable in a quiet location within a couple minutes walk of a nice pub with good food and atmosphere. It was a little hard to find coming in after dark and not knowing it was part of the Churchview B&B, but a friendly pub patron was very helpful to show us where it was. It was about a 10 minute drive to the old Yorkminster church and village which was absolutely amazing.

Alan was very friendly and helpful and Lynn popped around later to say Hello. The term cottage to us meant a separate little house so our expectation was wrong - there were several adjacent units in the small complex. The single bed duvet needs to be replaced with the same quality as that on the double bed, otherwise ok. The turntable in the microwave did not work. All other facils ok.

We had a great 1 night stay at Lynne's. The room was great and the beds were really comfy. The area was nice with a couple of nice pubsnear by. Lynne met us and gave us all the details we needed. We were really happy with the whole experience.

This lodging is in a good location - it is very accessible to York and to the East Coast without having a car. Alan greeted us and gave us good advice on where to have a pint and eat in York for a truly local experience and where to go on the East coast . His advice was very valuable to us and we had a lovely visit to that part of England. However, based on the description and the reviews on Airbnb this lodging did not meet our expectations . I would suggest checking Tripadvisor and other sites reviews as well as they seem to be more well balanced. This is not really a cottage, the layout is more of a strip motel with several units in a row. The building seems to be poorly designed for this type of use as we could hear conversation and very detailed bathroom sounds from our neighbours who I'm sure could hear ours. I would not recommend this particular unit for a romantic experience, it did not feel very private. The bedding was fresh and clean, but the double bed was very firm and lumpy and the pillows were pancake flat . We did not try the single bed. The cottage was clean. Be sure to ask for towels and milk for tea as these items are supplied sparingly and only if you ask. Also make sure to ask for the pole to open the skylight or close the blind on it - we couldn't find it in the unit. The bathroom is functional and clean but there are no surfaces to put your toiletries and no soap dish in the shower. There may be an ongoing problem with the plumbing in this unit (shower drain very slow and sewer smell)- best to check with Lynn before you book. Parking is right in front of the 2 windows in the living room, which is great if you have a car but adds to the lack of privacy. Stockton is a very quiet village, no noise at night except for other guests. The Fox pub is a decent place to eat and Lynn kindly booked dinner for us the first night we were there. Of the 3 Airbnb lodgings we stayed at on this trip, this was adequate but the most expensive, least comfortable, smallest bed and bedroom, least private (although the other 2 were flats in houses) and the only one with no laundry machines readily available without having to ask.

We enjoyed our stay in this cosy cottage. Lynn and her husband were very welcoming and helpful. The cottage is equipped with the basics and we found it clean and tidy. Communication with Lynn was easy and very speedy.

The house was fairly near to the city centre; however it was smaller than we expected. It was also not as clean as we'd hoped for. The facilities weren't amazing; there were not enough towels and kitchen cloths to clean up after ouselves, however the beds were nicely made and the hosts were helpful when we requested for some necessities. The rooms were quite warm, which was good. Overall it was an okay stay, although slightly expensive. The hosts were very friendly and accommodating.

Was greeted by Lynn's daughter who was lovely. Room was nice and fresh, very shabby chic which I loved. Bathroom a little tired but everything worked just fine. Would certainly stay again :-)

We met Allan (Lynn's husband) who quickly settled us into one of the cottages and helped us get familiar with the local buses. The parking was plentiful and the cottage very easy to find. The location is just so nice - opposite a church and long a road with charming features. Very easy to get into York - a fun bus ride into town and back. Really recommend this cottage - Lynn and Allan have made the place cosy and keep updating the place to make it more and more comfortable for guests. Highly recommended!

We had a wonderful stay at Michaels. The apartment had everything in it you could want and was sooooo clean and tidy. It was lovely, warm and inviting as soon as we walked in. It's just outside York but still so easy to access everything by car as it's only 15min away. I would love to have spent some time there when it wasn't wet, so I could have explored the forestry area out the back. I guess it just means we'll have to come back :-). Thank you Michael.

Fennel Cottage was cozy and comfortable, and the gardens around it are beautiful and well-landscaped. There was plenty of space for our dog to run around safely, which was lovely. The bakery/cafe that's on the grounds provides delicious breakfasts and the staff was very friendly. The cottage itself was clean and well-equipped, with a delightfully hot shower. We also loved having easy access to a washer/dryer for laundry. Michael was helpful about directions and check-in, and very flexible and understanding about our odd and ever-changing plans about how many nights we needed to stay. Our one complaint was the quality of the wi-fi--it was unusably slow at times, and our last night it dropped out entirely, right as we were trying to sign an important document online. If you don't need reliable internet, I would recommend Fennel Cottage (or Michael's other cottages here) unreservedly!

Made to feel very welcome by Michael in his lovely cottage which has everything you need plus a bit more and what a glorious power shower! Great location too, just outside York but within easy driving distance of the moors and the coast. All in all we had a lovely 3 day break and can highly recommend this accommodation.

We are not city people so Fennel Cottage is the perfect location away from the noise but still close enough to shops and restaurants. We had a wonderful 3 days and loved the cottage. It was comfortable and perfect for the 2 of us. The cake was amazing and unfortunately we couldn't eat it all. Michael was great, and very quick to respond to my booking request at the last minute. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

A really lovely chalet, clean, warm, comfy bed. It had all we needed. It was exactly what it said on air b and b. Good distance from York, only 10 mins drive which is all we wanted as we booked to go to the Jorvik Festival. Perfect, I really recommend this place!

We had a wonderful three night stay at Fennel Cottage. We were met by Michael who showed us the apartment and the beautiful gardens and rural surrounds. The apartment was exactly as described and very comfortable and well equipped. The location of Fennel Cottage is perfect for exploring the city and the Yorkshire Dales. There is a friendly local pub, The Fox Inn, close by which is great for a beer, meal and chat with the locals, after a day out enjoying the sights. Thanks Michael for having us at your place and for the work you do to make it so enjoyable.

This place was absolutely perfect. It was quaint, beautiful and exactly what we expected. The chocolate cake on arrival was delicious and a lovely gesture. The hot tub is an added bonus and even though shared in a shared garden it feels private. Michael is a great host and was there to welcome me and answer all my questions. I would definitely visit again.

Handy location to park and ride to travel to York. Well equipped kitchen.
