Lovely place to stay, with really thoughtful owners. Plenty of glasses, plates, pillows, high chairs etc. available as needed, in an excellent location just outside Harrogate, and with lovely 'farm grounds' around you. Would recommend.

We stayed at Cowslip Cottage for a long weekend, and it was just what we needed...comfortable, well stocked, and a great location. The owners were lovely, and very helpful, leaving us a few food items (including some delicious cake!), and plenty of information for the property. They were swift to respond to queries, but otherwise were non-intrusiveRead more during our stay :) Would happily visit again! Hide
