  Really lovely comfortable and clean place to stay.

  We were a family of 3 generations - eldest 83yrs and youngest 9yrs old. We had a dog with us too. The beds are amazing (we all slept so well) and the bathrooms lovely. It makes so much difference when you can sleep well! It’s in a beautiful spot surrounded by lush countryside and a great location for exploring York and the surrounding areas. A highlight for us was Burnby Hall gardens which was just beautiful and only a couple of miles away. I highly recommend a visit to it. The hot tub was lovely too. The only issue was the gravel in the garden. It was really hard to walk on and our dog hated it. It would have been so much better if it was half-paved from the living room door to the middle bedroom doors where the table and chairs are. Even with flip-flops on it was a painful walk, especially for my parents. And a parasol over the outside table would have been nice as there was very little shade when the sun was out. But other than the gravel situation, it was lovely and the barn has everything you could need, everything was spotlessly clean and in great working order. We all had a lovely time there and went on a fabulous walk taking the public footpath a little was along the road (left out of the drive) and across the fields in a 3 mile loop which took us across the most wonderful countryside. The welcome pack for both us and our dog was such a lovely thoughtful touch and we very much enjoyed the goodies! Thank you!

  We took the time to explore the detailed welcome pack provided by Jodie and Richard, which included a link to their cottages' dedicated website.

  This resource was packed with valuable information and proved to be incredibly helpful, allowing us to have a relaxing and memorable week as we celebrated our 20th wedding anniversary. While we had done some research beforehand, the welcome pack introduced us to more of the local region than we would have discovered on our own. The property is amazing, and although parking is on the street, it was close enough to easily transport our belongings into the cottage without any hassle. The cottage is finished to an extremely high standard, but it was the little touches that stood out the most. Cooking was a pleasure, with an easy-to-use stovetop and oven. While the kitchen has a small fridge, there is also a full-sized fridge with a freezer in the utility area, which was perfect for storing our champagne and wine. Locally, the pub next door was very cosy and offered affordable meal options. The friendly locals, who could clearly tell we weren’t from the area, were welcoming and made us feel completely at ease. We also visited Whitby and Robin Hood’s Bay, both within an hour’s drive, as well as Castle Howard and Helmsley, which have some great shops to explore, even on weekdays. Anyone booking this property will not be disappointed

  We arrived at a very busy time for the owners - mid way through lambing season.

  However, owners did their best to make us feel welcome and settled in. Main issue with the holiday was the low beams in the upper floor - which in my opinion are dangerous. The owners have placed numerous signs to warn about the low beams - but due to how low (possibly only 5’10” at highest point at irregular points) make it inevitable that if you are over this height you WILL hurt your head. After hitting my head several times a day, almost every day, (once very badly near kitchen area resulting in me falling to ground injured) I decided that it would be better if I remained on lower sleeping area as much as possible. This somewhat restricted the enjoyment of the holiday. Clearly there was nothing owners could do about the beams during my stay, but I feel that that these should been have been flagged prominently in the advert. This would have definitely made me rethink booking this particular property for something more fitting to someone of my height or at least keeping me better informed. One other minor point relates to directions. A sentence at the end stating that farm is on right hand side (and the farm name) would be helpful as satnav and directions are currently to neighbour up the road on left hand side.

  The townhouse is in the perfect spot.

  It's quiet but right next to the Minister. There's loads of lovely restaurant, cafes and bars minutes away. The beds are comfortable and the bedding and towels were clean. The house had original sash windows so without the heating on it quickly got cold, but the heating worked quickly and soon heated it up. The little courtyard area out the back was nice. The kitchen is well equipt and large. Overall this is a lovely place, but it needs some touching up of paintwork and the shower tray is showing a bit mould. It really should be clear in the listing that there is only parking for one car, as we had two and it was really expensive to park it while we were there. The one recommended was £20 per day. This adds quite a bit to an already pretty expensive stay. One more little thing that's worth mentioning is that the handles are round and very smooth and because of their positioning they can be hard to grip easily. I had to be rescued from the toilet a couple of times because I could open the door. Lovely handles, but not the most practical. I just stopped closing the door properly .... Overall a really great central but quiet location and nice comfortable beds and sofas.

  Where do we start?

  Health and Safety was nowhere to be seen. Firstly, my mother slipped in the bath in the en-suite, as there was no non-slip surface to the bath and no rails to hold on to to help stop the fall. There was mention of the exposed beams but not how low they were, my brother who is only 5ft managed to whack his head 3 times throughout the duration, one time luckily, he was wearing a flat cap as we found a 10cm long piece of woof protruding from his cap. If this had gone into his head, you would be looking at a law suit. The list is endless of the things that were missing, the DVD player was not working, the Pool table that apparently counts as a games room (including a dirt cardboard box which had all the games in) was broken. Please get in touch with me as soon as you can to discuss this furthe
