Fabulous cottage and just what we needed. Having 2 dogs the enclosed garden was great and we could sit and admire the views whilst they sniffed around. The living area was very well equipped and cosy. Fabulously quiet - we hardly heard the cows. The large bedrooms and modern en-suites were lovely. Parking was no problem. We didn't use the hot tub. It feels like you are in the middle of nowhere but only 20 minutes into Harrogate and you have all the facilities. Definitely on the list for a return visit.

My partner and I booked in for a 3 night break in the old calf shed. Wow what a place. Fantastic views of the valley (i would suggest binoculars to watch the birds of prey) while you sit in the hot tub. Everything needed for a self catering break is in the kitchen. We had asked for the afternoon tea which didn't fail to impress either. Those cakes were to die for. Julie is such a lovely host, she took us for a walk around the farm talking to us all the time explaining how everything worked and looking at the calfs. We had a fantastic break and will definitely book again.

Lovely farm stay with hot tub

Lovely few days at this farm cottage hosted by Julie. The cottage is very well equipped and the beds were the most comfortable we’ve had at any cottage! The location is beautiful with fantastic views across open countryside and the hot tub fab to come home to. Julie also gave us a tour of the cow and nursery sheds which was interesting and eye opening. Would defo Italy recommend.

It was ok, stunning views.

Well it was just nice… I personally had issues and would only give it a 3 star rating. Don’t quite understand how everyone gave it 5*… that is really misleading and unfair for the next family. Yes the place was lovely but you don’t have everything you need. Baring in mind you have to travel and need your own items, the bare essentials was not available but you may be able to obtain them if you ask. I personally didn’t want to constantly ask and felt like I was being bothersome. The wifi was very poor, connection in one room only! 4 coffee capsules only, maybe details of the coffee machine should be mentioned, so one can bring some from home, if they are not going to be topped up daily. The cake selection in the dome, as a welcome hamper was dry and stale, The kids games were all over the place… no not one card game or a full family game, baring in my mind no wifi so what is one to do? Not one non-stick pan😑, No foil no cling film, No dish scrubber, The tv wasn’t compatible to use with wifi or Netflix. No salt or pepper, had to ask Coffee was old and stale so I bought my own after the 4 pods finished. The one jug of milk was welcoming. No baking facilities So it was back to basic dvds for the 3 nights. The town was lovely the view was lovely but everything to do in Otley was closed by this time of year or weekend openings only. Then to top it off the heating stopped working after the first night of our 3 night stay and had to use electric heating.
