We had a wonderful stay at Farrington House.. The house had been designed inside to make our holiday extra special all of the necessary mod cons at hand and the spacious layout made it a great holiday for our family.I find it impossible to be anything but positive in this review.Explain colour of bins and the usage which was different to our council.

Farington House is beautifully furnished and well equipped. We were welcomed with a thoughful selection of groceries. It's probably the nicest house we've ever stayed in. It's quite remote but that suited us. Dogs are also very well catered for as the garden is huge and secure. We can recommend the tiny pizza shed in Nafferton for an easy to cook meal. We arrived in a heatwave so the only improvement I can think of would be the addition of some fans and Summer weight duvets. All in all though, we had a lovely time

Wow what a lovely house in a gorgeous peaceful setting. Very rural but a short drive to shops etc.Well placed for visiting the coast and lovely Towns such as Beverly and Driffield and lots of great nature reserves in the area. We loved watching all the hares and Barn Owls from the garden and all round the vicinity. The house itself is very well equipped and beautifully furnished. Sadly the beds were all small doubles and with temperatures over 30 degrees my husband and I had to sleep in separate rooms as in such small beds we would have cooked. Also we would have liked better garden furniture. Luckily I had noticed the picnic bench in the photos so we had taken fold up chairs with us....it would not have been very comfortable sunbathing on the bench provided. Apart from that I'd say the cottage was just perfect and having a huge garden with no escape route for our inquisitive Spaniel was the icing on the cake!
