As per title, this was our fourth time staying at Old Oak Cottages, and our third New Years visit in a row. We love staying at Wren cottage, for the 2 of us (plus the dog) it is perfectly sized. This time we also had friends staying in Owl at the same time as we had raved about this place so much to them. Weather this time was cold, but clear and crisp - just perfect for some lovely walks, we also visited Knaresborough for the first time this year, and our annual trip to Harrogate. New years meal was the regular visit to The Forresters Arms in Kilburn. We also had a lovely meal in ...more
“We aren’t staying very long. Please can we stay longer?” pleaded our five year old grandson. He was unwittingly echoing our sentiments too.

We arrived on a very hot day. We opened some doors and windows such that Badger became nicely airy. Conversely on the cold evenings it was very cosy.

We had such a good stay, blessed by good weather, which always helped. The views were stunning and it was great to be able to ride bikes, play tennis, play in the play area, see the animals and go for walks. It was chilly in the evenings but the fire was a lovely option to have. We would love to stay again! The family were lovely and it was a treat to stay there and enjoy Yorkshire - there’s so much more we want to do and see!
