What our customers say about their holidays

  Our stay at High Hall was a terrific success - we hoped for comfort, space, and a touch of luxury, and we found all three in spades.

  You know those estate agent's pictures taken with wide-angle lenses that leave you feeling disappointed when you arrive? Well, High Hall is the opposite - you walk in through the front door and it unfolds and reveals itself as you explore, with a sense of spaciousness everywhere. The owners have refurbished and equipped the house sensitively, finding just the right balance between preserving its historic character and providing comfort and modern convenience. There's something to enjoy in every room, often in every nook and cranny, and much to enjoy in the outside space and facilities too. Our party enjoyed the hot tub on a freezing winter night, for example. It's a great place for a family or friends gathering - enough large well-equipped rooms for everyone to gather together, but also with enough space, and large rooms, for anyone to find peace and quiet in a corner when they need it. Be prepared for a bit of quirkiness (it's been standing a long time, and it's Grade 2* listed for good reasons), pay attention to the incredibly detailed care and guidance prepared by the owners, and the house will repay you. It's in a beautiful location, too, and we were blessed with glorious winter weather, but there's no chance you'd feel claustrophobic if bad weather kept you indoors. We were praying we'd be snowed in at the end of our week, but alas, we had to leave.

  We really enjoyed our stay.

  The house and garden are much nicer than the pictures! We were only 2 but could see that there was ample room for various family combinations. Our only moan inside the house was that the tv in the living room was rather high up the wall… mantlepeice level would be better. Apart from there was everything we needed and everything was comfortable. A big plus were the amazing views from every window! Outside also amazing views and peace and quiet, birdsong, lambs baaing and the occasional tractor noise… Good outside tables and plenty of room for games in the garden plus nice tennis court which did have some racquets and balls in a box court side. It is quite isolated but we had a Sainsbury’s delivery at the beginning of the week which solved that problem. Waking to Boggle Hole and Robin Hoods Bay was easy (if hilly, steep hilly) We are 82 and 75. The local beaches are good for rock pools etc but watch the tides. I was brought up near Sandbanks in Dorset so long sandy beaches totally different from the North Yorkshire ones. There are a few properties on the site but they are so arranged that each have their own privacy. We would thoroughly recommend this property.

  We booked this holiday for a family get together for our Golden Wedding Anniversary having searched for a property that would appeal to three generations and we were not disappointed.

  The house was very well furnished and extremely comfortable. The lovely garden was a real plus for the children to run around and play in while we relaxed ourselves outside and enjoyed the lovely weather, taking advantage also of the gas barbecue for a great family afternoon dining in the garden. We chose to eat in for some of our stay making use of the fully equipped kitchen and the family dining room which seated our party of eleven easily. The whole area is outstandingly beautiful, from the farmhouse you can walk down to the beach at Boggle Hole. Robin Hood Bay is a short car ride away and well worth a visit. We would certainly love to revisit the property in the future with family or with friends as it had everything you could possibly want for a comfortable and relaxing holiday providing a brilliant base for visiting the beautiful surrounding areas.

  The Farmhouse exceeded our expectations, everyone loved their bedrooms, the living room , kitchen and dining room were all spacious and comfortable so we could all get together to eat , chat or play games etc.

  The gardens really have the wow factor, everywhere you look there is a view to die for , the grandkids loved the swings and slide , there’s a lovely table and chairs to accommodate everyone to sit outside on a nice day and we took advantage of the gas bbq which was a real bonus. The house is in a great position to visit so many places of interest or if you want total relaxation then I could think of nothing better than just staying in with a good book. One tip I will say is if there is a clear night then have a look at the stars with minimal light deprivation it really is a sight to behold ! Finally I booked this holiday for the full family to get together we all created some really good memories and they have all expressed a wish to do it again, I will have no hesitation in recommending the Farmhouse as a wonderful place to stay.

  The Farmhouse is a lovely place to stay.

  It is spacious and we 6 were able to be ourselves and hide away if we wanted to. There was nothing in the way of utensils or other domestic requirements for which the house was wanting. A few things did however take the edge of our unreserved satisfaction: 1) No non slip mats for baths or showers, 2) The small bedroom door (1st floor) would not close properly, 3) The use of modern curtain poles in the bedrooms meant that the super thick curtains did not work against the rising sun which poured in through the large gaps around the curtains - we didn't get as much sleep as we would have liked, 4) A door is required between the master bedroom and the closet which has no curtain - again a problem of light in the morning. Sort these out and we would love to go back even though it is 3 miles to the main road!!
