Cosy, warm, spotlessly clean and very well equipped. The patio area was perfect for the dogs as it is fully enclosed. Thank you David and Diana the cottage is truly a home from home" Ann - Middlesborough  "Daffodil cottage has given us a very comfortable and cosy week in a lovely position which formed a really good centre for all the places we wanted to visit. We appreciated the wine, chocolates and flowers on arrival and being able to relax with a cup of tea and biscuits outside in the back patio in the late afternoon sun. Local information was provided and we sampled 3 of the restaurants mentioned, and can particularly recommend the Duke of York in Fir Tree. Thank you Diana and David!"
