Lovely 4 night stay
Really lovely property and enough space for 5 of us. Everything was as described and clean. We had a fabulous 4 night stay and a great location. It was easy to get to York, McArthur Glen and Scarborough. We would definitely return, the owners are lovely and the bonus, a little farm shop.

Lovely, peaceful Barn
A lovely Barn located just 10 minute short drive from the Park and Ride taking you directly into York city centre. Brilliant location for exploring the loval area. The Barn was lovely, clean and welcoming with everything needed. It really was home from home and exceeded expectations.The oweners provided a lovely welcome pack which was gratefully received. This was a treasure to find and we will definitely come back again.

York -July 2023
This was an amazing property with great views of the cows and we were very happy for our 4 night stay. On arrival we were able to relax in the Garden and enjoy the sun , but we looked at the forecast and the rest of the time was going to be very wet. It was sad that we only got a few hours with no rain , but after going into York and getting wet for 2 days we were so pleased to be able to come back to this amazing property. It's larger that it looks in the pictures and very well located for the park and ride. We would like to come back some time, great beds and great night sleep and a very well equipped kitchen. Next time we come we may have better weather and get to explore the area . On a wet day the designer retail park 15 mins drive away is great , some nice shops we don't get in the south and our boys loved all the big sports shops and Haribo shop.

Great venue
The barn would be ideal for a small family or, in our case, a couple for a two-week stay. The owner was flexible enough to allow midweek to midweek. Our stay was 2nd and third week of June Location is ideal for access to park &ride to York, and a stone's throw from the A64 with access to major arterial roads. Take the back roads to the Wolds and Moors for best scenery. Use a map if you have one or be prepared to frequently redirect gps

This property is so much better than the photos make it look. We booked for 2 adults and 3 children and there was plenty of space and it’s so much Bigger than it looks online. It was 10-15 minutes out of York for most of the activities we did but the location didn’t bother us. We had a full size kitchen stocked with plenty of stuff to do dinner and breakfast there. We would absolutely stay here again. Laundry with washing machine and dryer was outside the building around the corner in another room. We caught up with about 5 loads of washing which was perfect. Thanks for a great stay we were really happy.

Spacious and clean. The upstairs bed with its spiral staircase was the perfect spot for my teanage daughter to hide out. Thanks the complimentary bottles of wine! The well equiped kitchen came in handy for cooking dinner on our stay in nights. How about adding a clothes washing machine and dryer.

Great cottage and location. Short car trip in to York.
Lovely location. Lovely cottage / barn conversion perfect for what we needed for our 3 night stay. Not technically a 3 bedroom. The 2nd bedroom has 2 single beds and has a mezzanine level which has a double bed. Fine for families sharing and was perfect for us but probably not ideal for 3 couples. Cottage is well equipped and was very clean. Would definitely recommend!!

Only one hiccup
The property was lovely, quiet, well outfitted. The beds were acceptable, some more comfortable than others. Having two bathrooms was wonderful. Supplies were a little skimpy. Providing 3 dishwasher pods for 4 people for 4 days was not adequate we also had to buy toilet paper as 1.5 small rolls for us was not adequate. On arrival we were given the keys and pointed towards the entry. We did not locate the washer until the evening before our departure (in an adjacent building). Since we were in UK for almost 3 weeks we had planned on doing laundry during this period. I suppose we could have demanded more information or supplies, but did not want to come across as nagging. When I had stopped by to mention the skylights were open, it looked like rain and I didn't see how to close them the response was curt and did not encourage additional communication. The location was perfect, the building was lovely, just a little more communication would have made it ideal.

Lovely property, just noisy road
Property itself clean and spacious- great facilities Despite having lived locally to the rental 20 years ago and so aware it was on the A1079,this road has HGV and biker traffic now day and night and so although it didn’t keep the kids awake it did so for the adults so renters should be aware Hosts friendly and v helpful on attached farm Flies were an issue with the windows open but this was expected as it’s a working cattle farm so it wasn’t a surprise for us as we live in the country but city dwellers may not be so used to this issue
