Dreamwood Cottage is an excellent holiday home from home, set in the lovely little town of Crigglestone.
The cottage is set on a corner plot with a quirky design that is guaranteed to give people that little bit of something different.
The split level ground floor has the kitchen & dining room immediately after the front door, followed by the two-sided wood burning fire, with one side facing the dining room and the other facing the sitting room which is down four steps from the dining room giving the split level aspect.
A door from the lovely sitting room leads out to the glass covered, decked patio area with outdoor dining and outdoor hotplate for al fresco cooking and dining.
Just beyond the decking is the amazing Hot-Tub, which has an instruction that is only to be used until 10pm for consideration to the neighbours, this was a minor disappointment as there's something really nice about being in the Hot-Tub under the stars, so depending on the time of year of your visit, this may not be possible.
The gardens are beautiful and well kept and there is a Summer House, Wood Shed and secure parking for two cars.
Access to the first floor and family bathroom is from the dining room and the bathroom does not disappoint, bath lovers will be delighted with the huge bath, their is also a good sized corner shower. Next to the family bathroom there is a good sized bedroom containing bunk beds & a single bed, perfect for kids.
The next landing has a good sized bedroom containing a double bed & a single bed.
The master is at the top and is huge, with a massive bed facing the open concept en suite, no door on the loo, so hopefully you are not shy, it is behind a wall though.
We loved the quirkiness of the cottage, the location is fantastic, it takes 58 seconds (yes, I timed it) to walk from the back gate to the Station Pub which actually sells some pretty decent food.
If you have a dog, 'Let The Dogs Run' is a 10 minute walk where you can hire a secure field with obstacles, jumps etc, an excellent set up sure to tire out the pooches.
Across the road from the fields is Blacker Hall Farm Shop, an award winning farm shop that has amazing quality, would definitely recommend.
Tesco Express is a 5 minute drive from the Cottage and there are dozens of takeaways if you can't be bothered cooking.
Overall we had an amazing 5 days at Dreamwood Cottage, 4 days of pretty rainy weather and one day of glorious sunshine. Would definitely recommend and we will book again.
