- Pamela Duddin 6/30/2026My husband and I had the most amazing few days away at this gorgeous place. It was so quiet and peaceful just what we needed. The hosts were really welcoming, friendly, and helpful. They have thought of everything to make our stay perfect. We had a great day in York which was really easy as there’s a bus stop just outside and only takes about 20 minutes. Thank you so much we will definitely be back in the future.

- Tracey Jacomb 6/06/2026Just got back from a 2 night stay in the Hollow. Fantastic peaceful setting, and perfect location to venture out, we caught the bus into York for shopping, lunch and cocktails! Andrew and Clare are the perfect hosts and have thought of everything, a lovely welcome pack and a nice touch of choosing to buy in fresh cooked food so we didn’t have to go out or think about cooking! We opted for a slow cooker meal, desserts and cheam tea all were very tasty 👏🏼 Nothing was too much trouble. Would definitely stay again and recommend.read moreread less
- Georgiana Stoica 5/06/2026A little piece of heaven! Perfectly equipped with everything you need, really comfy bed, and the location is so peaceful.
Falling asleep to the sound of water, and having your morning coffee under a canopy of trees is honestly magical. Wish we never had to leave! The hot tub overlooking the lake is such a lovely addition.
Great communication from the hosts, and nothing is too much trouble for them. Loved having the option to order evening meals! Already planning to come back.read moreread less
