Middlethorpe Manor Cottages - No 6 Tranquility & Ease

Overall we all enjoyed our stay at Middlethorpe Manor Cottages however there are issues which should be brought to the owners attention before clients arrive namely the following: only 3 forks when there are 4 people staying, only 1 tea towel and no kitchen hand towel or kitchen roll paper, and tiny chopping board. Request to keep things clean and tidy is fine but please provide items to make it an easier task. There were no condiments provided either. The distance into York on foot on a warm sunny day is nearer to 1 hour and not as close by as made out but grounds and cottage in lovely tranquil spot.

We have enjoyed our stay in cottage no 6. It's very quiet and well equipped property. Unfortunately we have found that few areas needed better cleaning. Dust on the top of the wardrobe, cobwebs in the top floor bathroom and by the entrance doors, coffe machine hasn't been cleaned properly, mugs badly washed and several cracked. Overall the property has a lovely, homely feeling and we believe the above mentioned discrapencies can be rectified. We would definitely recommend this property and come back as the location was perfect for us.

Nice cottages, but for the price expect a little bit extra. Filter coffee pot needed to be cleaned, no cafetière and sounds in the roof at night.

This place is so lovely, it looks exactly as it does in the pictures online. Check in is easy, everything perfect there and the response to issues raised with the team was immediate and professional. My only complaint is the cleanliness. Things like the toilet and the rooms were very clean but there were a lot of cobwebs and spiders everywhere!! I’m afraid as a soft southerner I simply could not relax. There were little bugs (really tiny) on all the curtains too and a couple on the pillows, maybe just a symptom of being in the country but as I said I just couldn’t relax. Cobwebs were in every corner, behind things like the toilet and in the little alcoves on the kitchen surfaces. There were also crumbs between the cushions on the sofa. Essentially a playground for daddy long legs and spiders! If you’re cool with that then this place is so beaut but sadly I couldn’t really enjoy it personally! Such a shame.

The setting couldn't have been more tranquil, tucked away cottages off a leafy drive, with our own private outside area. The cottage consisted of a living/dining/kitchen room on the ground floor with a handy downstairs cloakroom, and two bedrooms and a bathroom upstairs. The furnishings were comfortable and the kitchen well-equipped, aided by a welcome pack of goodies. The bed was very comfortable and the bathroom had a bath with shower over. The only problem we encountered was with an intermittent signal on the television. The location of the cottage was good, only a few minutes from York city centre yet feeling like being out in the countryside. We really enjoyed the stay and would book there again.

This is a really well priced accommodation for single and family business travellers. It has excellent parking and security. Road access is brilliant for both city and bypass. Very quiet and peaceful, loads of storage and nice beds.

We had a very pleasant stay at this wonderful cottage !! It's located a bit out of the city, but if u have a car you can always travel... The staff was very friendly, we had two emergencies, and they addressed it very quickly !!! I think I'd plan another trip to York in summer with my full family, to stay in middlethorpe cottages !!

Can highly recommend the cottage and would definitely stay there on our next visit to York. Peaceful location with easy walk into city centre and on a bus route for those who prefer not to walk.

We stayed here while we waited for our new house to be ready. It fitted the bill perfectly. Lovely location, comfortable with everything we needed. Would highly recommend this property.

Nice and relaxing.
Clean, quiet location. Nice and tranquil. The house was warm and clean with good facilities. Much better than staying in a hotel because we were able to cook when we wanted to relax. It felt like a home from home. The kids loved the trees and the novelty of staying in a house.

I wonderful 2 bed in a beautiful setting. It comes with everything you'll need to enjoy your stay and is just 10 minutes outside of York town centre. Lovely and quiet setting on a private road with passcode access. Beautifully finished accommodation - Warm, cosy and very comfortable. Would definitely stay again.

Brilliant romantic location for couples.
The location was perfect, just on the outskirts of York, so we were able to drive in (7-10 minute drive) and use one of the many car parks in York if we wanted to travel in. The place is situated behind a gate and then it's literally just on the left. It's impeccable, and will happily house 2 couples if you so desired. For couples, it is a very romantic location, and so quiet. You also get 1 parking space outside the property which was ideal for us.

Beautiful cosy cottage with easy access to York.
An ideal location giving a great balance of peace and quiet in a semi-rural area but with easy access to York. A beautiful, well appointed and very cosy cottage. Well equipped and tastefully decorated. Lots of amenities nearby.

The bathroom was rather cool. Some of the upstairs radiators needed to be bled. The engineer who repaired the boiler said that this was not the first time. Suggests that the heating system needs an overhaul.
