We loved everything about our stay! The house was spotless and so welcoming and cosy. I stayed here with my grandad to see family and everything was accessible for him. The host was friendly and keen to make our stay as comfortable as possible. We were sad to leave and already can’t wait to come back!!

Gorgeous 2 bedroom/2 bath, cosy open plan cottage

5 out of 5 average rating, 33 reviews3 days ago

We stayed at Tracie's cottage for three nights and wish we could have been there longer. The cottage was cosy, well appointed and absolutely spotless which meant we had a peaceful and comfortable stay. Bedale is a walkable town and is not too far from some other market towns in the area by car/public transport so there is plenty to see and do. Tracie kindly gave us clear instructions on how to find the cottage by car so there was minimal stress on arrival. Thank you again and we hope to be back soon.

Anyway, only regret was that we only stayed one night ! Hope to come again to Jaya's place for our next visit in Newcastle !
