Village Property with Hot Tub

CathRating, 5 stars2 months ago
A group of old school friends had a lovely stay at Shelia’s beautiful house. Great open kitchen and communal space. Made use of the hot tub which was a nice addition. Nice country walks from the house and enjoyed a meal at The Farmers Inn. Would definitely stay again.

Brockram Barn, Low Ploughlands

BryonyRating, 5 stars19 months ago
Brockram Barn is simply stunning. We had a wonderful family holiday - there was everything we could possibly want, and more! Of course, the hot tub and table tennis were fun extras, but Harriet had thought of everything and equipped the home to an extremely high standard and, as a family of five, we had plenty of space. We loved the area and did many of the suggested walks and activities, plus a few more! It was so good to be amongst the sheep, surrounded by green fields and wildlife with beautiful, ever-changing views. Thank you, Harriet and family, for a truly great time!

Self contained appartment

SaraRating, 5 stars1 month ago
The property is beautiful but Billy and Gill made our stay extra special. They couldn’t do enough to help us feel at home. The apartment was clean, spacious, warm, safe, cosy and exactly as described. There is a large lounge to relax in with a great range of DVDS, games and books. We also had access to the games room which our boys were intrigued by and found a lovely Pinocchio book, Disney jigsaw puzzle and had a little go on the snooker table. But the stand out was the garden with treehouse, trampoline and ride on toys - our boys were obsessed - it was all perfect for our needs. Nice little extra touches were the welcome treats on arrival for both us and our kids and a bottle milk in the fridge. Billy and Gill always had time to talk and make sure everything was okay for us. I had a treatment with Gill which was amazing and would definitely recommend. Already planning our next trip at Stonelea House - thank you again for letting us stay in your lovely home.

Converted Milking Barn with Hot Tub

SarahRating, 5 stars2 months ago
What a perfect place to stay with all of the family from 11 months to 80+yrs of age. Accessibility for my mum was excellent with walk in showers and sofa chairs easy to get in and out of. A travel cot and high chair provided for the youngest member of the family. A dishwasher including the tablets along with a fully equipped kitchen, plastic glasses for use in the hot tub ideal with a glass of wine or too. Our two dogs enjoyed lots of walks and it was brilliant that the garden was fully enclosed and safe for them too. Sarah the host was lovely nothing was too much trouble, little touches like jigsaws and board games where available and the barn had been decorated for Christmas to make you feelst home. The barn was in a beautiful location with lots of walks and a local pub ( booking is essential). If your into astronomy go to Grassholme Observatory I learnt so much and the dark skies are awesome. We had a lovely New Years break and would highly recommended Sunrise Barn for families.

Adorable riverside retreat, log burner

DavidRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
We absolutely loved our stay here, one of our favourite places! The surrounding area is gorgeous, the cottage set right on the bank of a stream with walks both ways. Peaceful, quiet and surprisingly spacious for a 2 bed! Not to mention spotlessly clean and well stocked. Would highly recommend a stay here and we will certainly be back.

Rural homely cottage in North York Moors

SusanRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
We enjoyed our stay at Lucy’s lovely cottage. It was spotlessly clean, well equipped, dog friendly, and in a very peaceful location. Close to good food and take aways in Helmsley and Thirsk, but the cottage had great facilities had we wanted to cook. Really lovely welcome with cake, bread, butter and milk; great communication from Lucy throughout. Hope to visit again soon.

Beautiful, quiet and private historic Coach House

DavidRating, 5 stars5 months ago
I have to say the Coach House was remarkable and the atmosphere of the place isn't really fully captured in the photos; it has so much warmth and character, which is conveyed not only by the age and general look and feel of the rooms, but also by the many artefacts that were strategically placed around the house. Having said that, we had access to all the modern amenities we needed. Needless to say, we had a very comfortable and pleasant stay. We would highly recommend it.

The Former Mechanics Institute - Grade 2 listed

KarenRating, 5 stars6 days ago
We booked this venue to help my parents celebrate their 65th wedding anniversary. We needed accomodation for some guests and areas that were accessible for the elderly. I had not realised that the venue is two completely separate units, so on arrival I was a little disappointed, as only one of the living areas was accessible for most of the guests. However, it is such a wonderful building with enough open space that we were able to have the celebration in one of the units and just used the other for the bedrooms only. I certainly would recommend this venue to anyone who wants to visit the area or as we did, hold a small celebration (20 guests) Thank you William for providing a very comfortable and well equipped venue.

The Studio, Boltby near Thirsk. Wifi. Great views.

MarcelleRating, 5 stars2 months ago
What a great find away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, on a very wet and windy New Year’s Eve! Diana and Simon made us feel extremely welcome. Considering the studio was above a garage, it was extremely warm. We were able to help ourselves to more logs for the wood burning stove, which we were grateful for. We had everything we needed and found the studio big enough and equipped enough, to have stayed for a good few days. Thank you.

West Cottage

AlexRating, 5 stars9 months ago
West Cottage perfect for a family of 4 with 2 boys, looking to get out into the countryside and explore the area. Beautiful location, photos don’t do it justice, surrounded by green hills, sheep and with a brook below the garden. We were lucky enough to have the place to ourselves which meant we could use the wave machine, hot tub and games room whenever we wanted after days out. Also enjoyed having our meals out on the lawn. Cottage had all we needed, comfy beds and kitchen well-equipped.

Low Barn Cottage

RebbeccaRating, 5 stars4 months ago
We loved the remoteness of the cottage, the peace & quiet. Loved the pool & hot tub which is a must if we don't stay coastal.You definitely need a car to access any shops as the nearest shop is 2.3 miles and this closes at 5. No pubs within walking distance and some pubs only opened certain days and opened at 6. However that's what makes the place attractive & peaceful. Lots of places to visit with 10 mile radius. Great walks and historical sites to see. Beautiful landscape. Cottage was very snug & comfortable.

A peaceful cosy cottage

JulianRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Spacious and warm cottage in a great location for exploring beautiful Northumberland. Bellingham is a great place to stay with pubs, places to eat, co-op, butchers, etc. We loved the Hareshaw Linn walk to the waterfall, followed by a visit to Tea on The Train, which is a fun way to have lunch on an old Inter City train carriage! Kielder Observatory is only 30 minutes away for unbeatable stargazing. What a fantastic trip! We will look for Norma's cottage again on our next visit to Northumberland.
