Very nice property but starting to look a little bit tired now; no real problems, just minor things
Very nice property but starting to look a little bit tired now; no real problems, just minor things that stop it from getting full marks e.g. the handle to the main door dropped off. 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. Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

The Old Reading Room is a charming conversion in a very small village.
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. Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

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 !

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.

Patio area needs some attention gardening wise but garden itself is beautiful, fantastic views . Would highly recommend this property xxx

What an amazing place with lots of space … the house was light and airy and has some lovely features … a few things need updating though like the tv and freeview box for when the weather is bad … we invested £5.99 on an ethernet cable (Amazon Prime) so we could enjoy some boxsets on iPlayer when it rained. 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 :)

Fabulous cottage.
Fabulous cottage. A real home from home. Aga kept us cosy and was easy to use. Nice to have a log stove as we were unfortunate with the weather. Very comfortable and well appointed.
