What our customers say about their holidays

• Joan - Verified booking

  We booked this cottage on the morning of our arrival day, which was very accommodating of the owners at such short notice.

  We were greeted on arrival by Gaynor and Neil who showed us round and who were very helpful and nothing was too much trouble for them. It showed that this was the first time the cottage had been let out for holidays, as it was immaculate. The cottage had been decorated to a very high standard and the appliances were top rate. There was everything we could possibly need to make our stay as comfortable as possible. The cottage was warm and cosy, the wood burner helped with this aspect even though we didn't really need it as the weather was kind to us. I could imagine in the winter months the burner would not disappoint, the heat it generated was immense. We had a lovely comfortable sofa and huge tv for total relaxation. The king size bed with top quality bedding all helped to aid a restful night sleep as it was so comfortable. My husband has mobility problems so we found the wet room shower to be most accommodating, as it was powerful and roomy. The lovely deep bath in the bedroom is nice for those able to have a nice soak before bed. The cottage is situated down a quiet road, with ample off road parking. Neil also provided us with garden furniture during our stay to provide us with a nice place to sit out in the garden while the weather was fine. There are lots of things to do, whether visiting the many lovely villages, markets or walking. I would highly recommend this cottage as a superb base to spend your holiday, you will not be disappointed as our hosts go that little bit further than most to make sure "it's home from home or better".

  (Before you read this, please note that we also run a B&B (on air), so we have plenty of experience of being 5 star hosting) Neil and Gaynor were very welcoming (but totally left us alone and were exceptionally respectful of our privacy).

  The retreat was 5* clean! It is an amazingly spacious little cottage (on a working farm) but very comfortable, big 'smart' TV's in both the lounge and bedroom. A wonderful, very hi-spec shower room (There is a HUGE copper bath in the corner of the very large bedroom (but we didn't use it). Copious amounts of very hot water on demand, full wi-fi and a huge bed. We thought it was exceptional value for money and very comfortable. Very hi-end kitchen appliances (washing machine/tumble dryer, dishwasher, large fridge freezer, good oven and induction hob). If we had one small recommendation, we would have liked a few more glasses, utensils (tongs), cutlery and crockery as every day, we ran out and had to wash up. We would happily return. Many thanks.

  Acorn Cottage is situated in a beautiful village Petton.

  The surroundings are so tranquil for a restful and quiet break. The cottage is well equipped with all the mod cons and is squeaky clean. The kitchen has all the amenities along with a dishwasher and washing machine which made our stay very comfortable. The bedrooms are spacious and so are the bathrooms. Acorn Cottage has everything we could ask for. Barbara and Robert gave us a very warm welcome to Acorn Cottage. They are extremely friendly and provided us with lots of information about sightseeing as well as gourmet pubs to get good food. The church in Petton is gorgeous and definitely worth a visit. The chicken and ducks that Robert keeps are an absolute delight. To sum up Acorn cottage is a wonderful cottage and the hosts are amazing.

  Wow, wow, wow.

  Absolutely beautiful property. Everything we needed for a luxury romantic week away. Comfy bed, fabulous shower and dreamy copper bath. Fell asleep on the couch numerous times as it's so comfy. We had been looking forward to our week away from the day we booked it last year, and we weren't disappointed. Perfect base for exploring North Yorkshire. Please make sure to visit Gordale Scar and Janet's Foss for a truly magical experience. Game Cock pub has amazing food and fabulous service. Will definitely be back to Orcaber Farm Retreat! Soft furnishings were perfect and have given us ideas for our own home. Neil and Gaynor have a great eye for detail making sure the retreat has everything you need to make your stay easy and comfortable

  We have just had the most wonderful 5 nights at this cottage.

  We didn’t want to come home! When we first arrived, we couldn’t stop saying “wow!”. Immaculately clean and extremely well equipped and comfortable. The finest of details had been thought of. Little touches like this make all the difference. Beautiful, peaceful setting, with resident ducks and chickens. It was well located for many local sightseeing attractions. Most things we wanted to do were only 30-40 minutes drive away. Lovely pub 5 minutes down the road for delicious meals, although you have everything you need to cook in the cottage. The owners are absolutely lovely. They welcomed us with open arms and made us feel at home right away. We can’t wait until our next visit!
