    We had a truly wonderful weekend at The Old Combine Shed. We chose it to celebrate an early family Christmas with four generations together, and it couldn’t have been a more perfect place for us. The cottage was beautifully clean, incredibly comfortable, very well equipped, and the Christmas decorations made it feel extra special and welcoming.I spoke with Kate before we arrived and she was so helpful, which made everything feel easy and well organised. We made some lovely family memories here and would wholeheartedly recommend The Old Combine Shed to anyone looking for a special place for a family get-together.

    Our favourite place so far and we get around a bit! 4 generations loved our stay, we couldnt have asked for anything else, this property has it all! We ate good food around the table, including the delicious welcome cake, played games in the large lounge, slept like logs in the comfy bedrooms and walked miles around the area. We also jumped in the car and visited York, Helmsley and Easingwold - highly recommend Sunday lunch at The George. Kate was easily contactable & we really have had a wonderful break. Thank you.
