Lovely location, lots of places to visit, park & ride just a few minutes away and a 12 min ride to city centre. Property has all the amenities, including a laundry room. Very clean and smell as you walk in is fresh and citrus, just sofas a little tired and although beds comfortable look is a little old fashioned. Constant hot water, with choice of walk in power shower and bath. Would definitely isit again.

Fabulous place to stay, from easy booking to the facilities & room layout which was perfect for what we needed The kitchen was well equipped, rooms decorated to a high standard & very clean The farm is within a short drive to a pub for an evening meals or shops (we had a supermarket delivery on the evening we arrived which worked out very conveniently). The view from the cottage was lovely overlooking the fields & cowsNext time we are back in York we would definitely look to rebook & would highly recommend to others
Twin beds on ground floor with a bathroom off from the room
Spiral staircase to the double bedroom which overlooked the fields & cows
Double bedroom - VERY comfy!!!

Peaceful Family Escape

Our family absolutely enjoyed our stay at the quaint Ivy Cottage. It was the perfect peaceful getaway. The cottage was very clean, well-stocked, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay.The little touches—like the delicious treats left for us—made us feel welcome right away. Our children loved watching the cows in the nearby fields, and my husband and I appreciated the calm, relaxing atmosphere. It gave us a much-needed break from the usual pace of life.We hope to return again soon. Highly recommended for families looking for a quiet countryside retreat.

Lovely, peaceful Barn

A lovely Barn located just 10 minute short drive from the Park and Ride taking you directly into York city centre. Brilliant location for exploring the loval area. The Barn was lovely, clean and welcoming with everything needed. It really was home from home and exceeded expectations.The oweners provided a lovely welcome pack which was gratefully received. This was a treasure to find and we will definitely come back again.

Family Gathering

The property fulfilled our family's needs. Private, quiet and plenty of parking. Although we were on a farm there were no farm smells, only the cattle mooing in the morning, but did not disturbed. The open aspect to the rear of the property gave us views over the fields. The location was perfect for the park and ride into York and the shopping outlet on the A19. The property its self was well equipped, clean, good showers and spacious. Would be confident to recommend to friends and family.

Great cottage and location. Short car trip in to York.

Lovely location. Lovely cottage / barn conversion perfect for what we needed for our 3 night stay. Not technically a 3 bedroom. The 2nd bedroom has 2 single beds and has a mezzanine level which has a double bed. Fine for families sharing and was perfect for us but probably not ideal for 3 couples. Cottage is well equipped and was very clean. Would definitely recommend!!
