Despite the very hot weather ( which the Stables minimised ) we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. We plan to be back in the autumn

Great location just outside Easingwold so ideal base for exploring York, Thirsk and the coast. House is in idyllic countryside and had everything we needed for a restful stay, including a super comfy bed, and a convenient parking space right next to the entrance steps. Appreciated the thoughtful treats on arrival. Lovely to meet the owners and their friendly dogs.

Peaceful and secluded , it offered exceptional (IMO) value for money . The bed was huge and so comfy ,we had the best week's sleep in years ! The parking bay was covered and in the shade which was a bonus in the heatwave. We highly recommend The Stables. ...and the lovely ,friendly owners and dogs !
