Mrs Jackson-Flowers
The cottage was well equipped for our multi generation family. The kitchen and bathroom were both very clean, the beds and sofas were comfortable. Everything felt fresh and welcoming. My son had no complaints about the WiFi! Great location for our trips out to York, Flamingoland and Wetherby. We’d recommend Stockeld Park particularly for ages 11 and under, although we all enjoyed it.
Mrs Robinson
This cottage was perfect, being in a lovely friendly village and with many places to visit locally. The cottage has high quality furnishings and the beds super comfortable. Bathroom has a good shower with plenty of hot water. Kitchen is very well stocked and the welcome pack was appreciated. The added bonus is the hot tub, perfect for star gazing on an evening.

The Old Post Office is located in a lovely small Village. It is easy to get to know the locals in one of the 2 pubs around the corner. There is a playground nearby for the children. The host is very friendly and helpful, the house is well maintained. The location, in the middle of the village, adds to the post Office feeling.
