Fabulous place to stay, from easy booking to the facilities & room layout which was perfect for what we needed The kitchen was well equipped, rooms decorated to a high standard & very clean The farm is within a short drive to a pub for an evening meals or shops (we had a supermarket delivery on the evening we arrived which worked out very conveniently). The view from the cottage was lovely overlooking the fields & cowsNext time we are back in York we would definitely look to rebook & would highly recommend to others

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
