Beautiful quiet location looking out over fields and backed by woods with lots of lovely walks for the dogs. Great base camp for whitby and Scarborough. Cute, peaceful cabins with everything you need. Loved our stay with our dogs
Excellent communication, the welcome/check in was spot on.
Location is secluded but directions from the team really accurate. Hottub was a bonus and the sense of really getting away from bustle of life is what sets this place apart from the rest.
Very easy access to the North Yorkshire Moors and heritage railway too.

Perfect hideaway
A great relaxing break. We loved it.
Accomodation was spotlessly clean.
In the middle of nowhere which was perfect for us.
Lots of nice walks and the hot tub was lush

Great value and great weekend away
Our second time here and definitely not our last, everything you need for a comfortable weekend away. We love the location, the DVD collection, the hot tub and the log fires. Wish we could stay for longer! Really good value too. Thanks x
Lovely setup with everything you could need for longer stays. Tricky to find with Google though. A real plus was being able to see the stars, which was incredible, from the hot tub.
Thank you.

What a treat
Fantastic property and host. We arrived just after chick in time, the hot tub was ready and up to temperature for us to use it straight away if we like, with complimentary spa dressinggowns and slippers. Also there were complimentary teas and coffies, bred jam and butter, milk and watter. We had always had enough logs for our fire and there were even dog treats for our little pet.

Relaxing, beautiful, 5 stars !!!
Our stay at the farmhouse was absolutely beautiful, we were made to feel so welcome and everything we possible could need was there for us. Peaceful surroundings and lovely scenery. Our two little dogs loved the garden and the big field out front, definitely want to stay again soon!
