Stayed at Foss haven over the new year with family 6 adults 2 children, What a great little house, looks small from the front but a good size inside having 3 doubles 1 being en-suite and 2 single rooms with 1 family bathroom. it was really good didn't use the cars nearly all week except when we went for a visit to Creepy Crawlies children's center........The location of this house is great for walking in to York which is about 5 minutes into the center with all its great Restaurants shops and bars. Also recommend York's Ghost walk, what a good laugh only £5 for 1.5 hours. Will be defiantly be coming back to either this house or one of the others that are for hire |
