The location was perfect for a wedding at Askham Hall. The village itself is lovely with 2 pubs and great little shop. There were wonderful walks. The lounge was lovely and comfortable. Kitchen was a good size and had everything you need. The downstairs bathroom was modern and clean and the shower good. Plenty of hot water.

The main bed was so uncomfortable! The mattress was an old style sprung with mattress topper, so every time one of us moved the whole thing moved. I went to sleep in one of the single beds which was also uncomfortable but at least we weren’t waking each other up each time we moved. Sleeping separately for our 4 night stay was not ideal. The house smelt of paint (with a kind of creosote smell) which on arrival was really strong throughout. It smelt quite toxic. It lessened as days went by but still smelt. I think the house had been newly painted as it did look nice and clean and white. Heating is controlled remotely by the owner which was also not ideal as there were a couple of evenings and early mornings when we would have liked to warm the house a little but couldn’t without contacting the owner.
