“Benchmark Cottage was truly spectacular. Everything we needed was there…a real home from home. Sitting in the sun room with a cup of tea in the mornings, watching the birds feed, to walking into an AGA heated kitchen, to relaxing on such a comfy corner sofa in front of a huge TV, to having an amazing shower, to sitting in bed upon awakening watching the birds and sun coming up. Highly recommended and will return as many places still to visit and discover.” – Stephen, Mold

“An excellent cottage, modern and very well appointed. Spotlessly clean and with a lovely bonus welcome pack. Location is good, close to the coast in a village on the North York Moors. Friendly and warm welcome from lovely hosts.” – Christopher, Littleborough
