Clear and concise communications in advance and on arrival. Herbert Cottage as a property looked great in the pictures but was actually better in real life. Lovely open fire all pre loaded. Fully stocked house in every way including the kitchen. Very comfortable, exactly what you you need on a break, felt like you were being wrapped in a duvet. Lastly all details were accurate and emails and details were very prompt including when we sadly had to advise one of our party could not make it.

A truly memorable stay in a stunning cottage in a fabulous location. There is not a single thing to fault – super clean, beautifully quiet, stylish & a fabulously warm welcome. I fear we’ll be comparing every stay that comes after to Herbert Cottage.

Beautifully styled historic property with stunning sunset views and garden. Very clean, close to York and the surrounding attractions. Very welcoming housekeeper who was also helpful.

A super place to stay surrounded by beautiful countryside. Perfect base for exploring North Yorkshire. The cottage is beautifully furnished and decorated to a high standard. It is very well equipped with everything you might need for a comfortable stay and the housekeeper was very welcoming. Highly recommend staying here.

Wonderful cottage and large garden , all to a high standard and exquisite interior design without being pretentious . Perfect for a couple or up to 4 people. Would not hesitate to recommend and return.

Very well equipped house ,lovely and clean and peaceful location and friendly/helpful housekeeper.

We’ve had a fantastic stay at Herbert Cottage. The cottage was spotlessly clean, furnished and equipped to a high standard and we really did have a very comfortable stay. Elaine really looked after us and gave us a very warm welcome. The village of Westow was perfect for what we needed and lots to do round and about. Would thoroughly recommend for an escape to the country.

We had a really wonderful stay here. The cottage is enormous for just two bedrooms and so tastefully done. Extremely clean and comfortable, with a lovely welcome from Elaine. I actually can’t fault it, which is very rare for me!!!
