  Owl's Hoot and all of the other barn conversions have been beautifully designed.

  The location is lovely, very quiet & peaceful with lots of amenities a short drive away. The layout of the barn was good, small but still a perfect size for the two of us and our little Frenchie. Lots of stylish furniture, however it was a little uncomfortable, especially the bed; we both found the mattress extremely firm and the pillows completely lacking in substance, and struggled to sleep throughout the stay (a week) . The hot tub was lovely and the outside space beautifully put together, however it lacked privacy as the private/sectioned off areas are still quite open to the rest of the properties. Also, Owl's Hoot seems to have a lot less outdoor furniture (a single small bench) compared to the other properties, meaning it wasn't very desirable to sit outside and enjoy the surroundings, some chairs might be a good addition. One major downside for us was that there was no enclosed space for us to let our dog off of his lead; so he had to be in his harness whenever we needed to take him out. I think each property would benefit from it's own sectioned off space for greater comfort for dogs and additional peace of mind for their owners, as the thought of our dog escaping did weigh heavily on us for the duration of the stay, which caused stress. The gravel was also quite sharp for our dog's paws and he didn't like walking on it. There were also no designated dog waste bins and no recycling on site which surprised us. No water bowls for our dog either in the barn, which we have normally found when taking him away with us. The kitchen was well equipped, definitely one of the best holiday rental kitchens we have ever used, with good quality kitchen knives and other utensils and top spec appliances, all set into a beautiful worktop and cabinets. It would benefit for additional crockery and cutlery as we found ourselves constantly running out and washing up, and rarely had enough to fill the dishwasher, which felt wasteful. The bathroom was really nice and the shower was brilliant, great water pressure and nice and big. That room could benefit from a bit of additional storage, such as a unit in the shower and a shelf in the bathroom as there wasn't really anywhere for toiletries to be stored. Overall, we enjoyed our week at Owl's Hoot and would consider returning, however we would not bring our dog back as it is currently, and would be very conscious about the bed and how we slept.

  I’m writing to express my deep disappointment and frustration with my recent stay at The Bluebell for my 60th birthday celebration.

  I had carefully selected your venue as it seemed perfect for hosting my 33 guests. From the moment I booked, everything appeared to be well-organized, and I even paid extra for the privilege of an early arrival and late check-out. Unfortunately, my experience was far from what I expected, and it caused significant stress during an event that should have been a joyous occasion. Upon arrival, we found the property cold, with no way to turn on the heaters. Despite making numerous calls and sending several texts, it took far too long to resolve this basic issue. Additionally, the entire place was in desperate need of a deep clean. We were shocked to find that cleaning supplies were unavailable, forcing us to go out and purchase our own mops and products to clean the property ourselves. Some of the rooms were in unacceptable condition: Toilets had been used and not flushed. Floors were dirty, and cobwebs were all over the walls. The outside bin area was littered with black bags, which I refused to clean up. Several rooms had stained bedding, including one with a blood stain that we had to change ourselves. Worse, from rooms 1 to 4, none of the electrical sockets worked, and despite numerous attempts to contact you, this was never resolved. Room 12 had stained bedding with some sort of black ink. It’s unbelievable that your housekeeper admitted to knowing about the stained sheets but put them on the beds regardless. The condition of the property was unacceptable and created a significant amount of stress. I did not receive the value I expected for the money I spent. My guests, while understanding, were understandably disturbed by the poor conditions, and this situation nearly ruined an event I had spent a year planning. Your housekeeper excused her inaction by saying she was on holiday, and your lack of response was equally frustrating. We have videos and photos documenting all the issues mentioned, and I am appalled that such basic standards of cleanliness and hospitality were not met.

  I’m going to talk about the only negative first and the only reason I gave it 4 stars because I just don’t want another dog to go through that.

  I’m going to start by saying the negative isn’t anything the owners can control, and they were lovely when we mentioned it however I’d like to have known beforehand maybe in the listing or something so we could have made an informed decision. We were there nearly 7 days, and throughout this time, there was always really loud bangs that sounds almost like a single firework going off but intermittently throughout the whole day. Starts really early at 7am which is annoying but most importantly, ruined the experience for our dog. He was very scared of the loud bangs, affected whether he wanted to go out toilet (or anywhere really) or not, because as soon as he heard those bangs, he wanted to rush back in and hide. It wasn’t very pleasant to watch. So if you have dogs that are nervous, hate loud firework type bangs, then I would recommend leaving them at home. More confident dogs may be ok with it. But you know your dog best. The property in general was amazing! Well worth the money. You would think because it’s in a secluded area that there wouldn’t be a lot to do, but there are! Parks, beaches, etc. A lot of thought had been put into making your experience comfortable down to having a washing machine. There’s a little folder telling you where all the nice spots are, where to eat, takeaway menu etc, it genuinely is really well thought out. The apartments are stylish, comfortable and just the best place we’ve stayed at. The owners are really lovely and will sort out anything you need asap as long as you inform them. We absolutely loved the stay ourselves, just a real shame our dog couldn’t have the same experience due to the loud bangs. I will highly recommend that if the bangs are an everyday thing, that the info should be included in the listing so people can make an informed decision. Overall, this is a place I will highly recommend you stay at.

  We hired the Blue Bell for 38 all female family and friends for a surprise weekend for my daughter’s 40th birthday.

  It was absolutely perfect! We decorated the large function room and hired a DJ and Supreme Photo Booths - both excellent. There is a brilliant bar area where all our guests stored the drinks they’d bought with them. The kitchen facilities were great with loads of fridge and freezer storage space and 2 double ovens where we prepared and served a cooked breakfast on Saturday morning and chicken and chips in the afternoon after enjoying a televised dog racing game in the afternoon in the snug area next to the dining area. On Friday evening we ordered fish and chips from Nafferton Fisheries in Driffield - they gave us a fabulous service - great communication before the event and delivering their hot and tasty food on time. For our party on Saturday evening we’d ordered a load of platters from Morrisons which is only a short drive away. The Blue Bell is in a lovely small village and many of the ladies enjoyed a long walk on Saturday morning including the grounds of Burton Agnes Hall. Communication with the owners and housekeeper prior to arrival and during our stay was excellent - they couldn’t have been more helpful. Several guests enjoyed using the hot tub in the lovely grounds at the rear of the property. There were no complaints from any guests who all said they had had a fabulous weekend. The property was warm and comfortable and had everything we needed for a marvelous celebratory time. It was excellent value for money and our guests said they could not believe how we had managed to put the weekend on for the price that they had paid. I would have no hesitation in recommending this venue. Do not expect luxury but if you want a large, clean, comfortable and functional large space to hold your event and sleep your guests at the right price - this is for you.
