If you like peace and quite, it's a great option although there aren't a lot of facilities in Thimbleby itself. The Old Reading Room has a good foosball table - take plenty of 50p pieces if you want to play.

The Old Reading Room is a charming conversion in a very small village. It is well placed for walking the North Yorkshire Moors and within easy reach of coastal or Yorkshire attractions by car. A drive into Northallerton is necessary to get provisions but the neighbouring village of Osmotherley has several pubs, a fish and chip shop and a small general store. The house itself is generally very comfortable with a great kitchen/living area. The wood burner is great on a cold evening and belts out the heat, and the Aga provides a cosy warmth during the day. The patio area is larrge and great for alfresco eating with a lovely view of the garden. The small bedroom and bed is more suitable for a child and the mattress was uncomfortable. The ensuite would benefit from a proper shower and the main bathroom needs a new shower. Overall, a lovely stay for us all.

We loved the Old Reading Room - exactly the venue we wanted for a family weekend away. Well appointed and comfortable - we would definitely recommend and would stay there again. Only slight niggle was that some of the cleaning could be better - there obviously hadn't been a hoover under the bed for a while - or it would have picked up the socks that someone had left there ! ##### Allan This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Noel Aug 14, 2019 #### A large number (\~20) bulbs were blown and the property is quite dark in places, although well equipp A large number (\~20) bulbs were blown and the property is quite dark in places, although well equipped (could do with a non-stick frying pan). The house instructions could do with updating, for example the advertised incoming only phone is not there. The property, at which we have stayed several times over a number of years needs some TLC. For example the gates into the garden are rotting and the door to the courtyard sticks. The TV instructions could be more than just a scribbled note! It was nice that there were some provisions provided to start with. The en-suite bath plug was not connected to chain or bath and it was difficult to get the plug out after a bath. Great property and location for the North Yorkshire Moors and surrounding area. ##### Noel This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent Jun 18, 2019 #### We loved it there . We loved it there . Beautiful accommodation. Only problem is aga makes house very hot and there were lots of flies ( but you are in the country ) so worth taking something for that . Patio area needs some attention gardening wise but garden itself is beautiful, fantastic views . Would highly recommend this property xxx This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rosemary May 13, 2019 #### A spacious, lovely cottage in a beautiful and tranquil location.

The peacocks, bunnies, hedgehog and chicken were a lovely distraction … we bought some food for all and enjoyed them visiting the garden. It was also lovely to see the cows in the next field. All in all it was a wonderful, restful week :) ##### Jane This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Peter Dec 25, 2018 #### perfect setting, magnificent kitchen, house very well equipped. perfect setting, magnificent kitchen, house very well equipped.
