Hawthorn in Crayke YO61 4TE

Lovely flat, clean and comfortable. Was just a base so didn't use the kitchen, but it appeared to have everything you could want for a stay.

Tv wouldn't tune into many channels. Sofa bed in lounge was a little uncomfortable.

The location and proximity to York and surrounding area

Firstly trying to find where the parking area is a bit unclear. The instructions sent are “directly opposite the Durham Ox, please park in the bay behind the wall” it’s not that clear what this means. It’s actually diagonally on the main road (what 3 words family.brisk.gent). the entrance is up some stairs, so be warned if mobility is a concern. We get in, and on first sight everything looks good, nothing for a cuppa supplied, try to get out and cant as lock won’t work, Host moved us to the lower cottage. Workies who occupied this are in upstairs, try internet and they switched it off to charge their phone (host sorted it) but they did this often at night. When working was good WiFi Honeysuckle is now our cottage, So review is for that. Negatives are TV is not smart and tried a firestick in, but HDMi ports don’t work, normal TV is also very poor reception, as is mobile sofas are badly worn and not comfortable (sink right down) No heating at night as old storage heater, and all heat stored is gone by time needed (no instructions) only heat is a small heater supplied. Oven is filthy badly needing a deep clean, blinds in kitchen also broken, one fell down when trying to close. Bed is VERY firm, Shower trap was absolutely filthy at least toilet was clean, nothing apart from soap supplied, says toiletries supplied, we never had extra toilet paper (bought our own). Description needs updated as outside area is covered in weeds and seating rusty and dirty. The whole place would benefit from a good deep clean inside and also outside, updated TV and sofas pity as would be a great place if things got done, as all have been reported by other guests

Off-road parking was a bonus.The apartment was comfortable and peaceful. The villagers were very friendly and welcoming. Would definitely recommend to others and stay again

Self contained flat with all required amenities for a weekend stay.

We had a lovely stay in a charming cottage/flat in Crayke, York. The flat itself was cozy and perfectly located in a beautiful village setting. While it could have done with a deeper clean (there were a few cobwebs and the oven door was dirty), it didn’t take away too much from our overall experience. There were a couple of minor disturbances — a dog staying downstairs barked quite a lot and woke us on the first morning, and there was some confusion when the owner, thinking the flat was empty, dropped off bedding for the cleaner. It was a bit surprising but no real harm done. On our last morning, we were woken a little earlier than expected by what seemed to be a window cleaner, but again, just a small inconvenience. All in all, we enjoyed our time there. The village of Crayke is absolutely lovely, and The Durham Ox pub across the road was a real highlight — fantastic food, drinks, and a great atmosphere. Despite the few small hiccups, we would definitely return to the area for another visit!

Beautiful cottage/flat in a stunning little North Yorkshire village. We had a lovely cosy stay and will certainly come again.

Great, comfortable, clean apartment just the right distance from York. Good to see that tea, coffee & sugar is now provided. Great for an overnight stay

Would be great to have some milk provided. Either fresh or small pots. The connection to the tv was terrible. Watching a programme & then the signal went
