"We ere a family group having taken three cars, son in law arrived first and was greeted by owner and she was very nice, my daughter arrived later with our granddaughter who has special needs, and we arrived by 10 pm."
I had booked the house and thought at least the owner could have come to meet me, we did not even have a small carton of milk or anything to start us off as we could have chosen many places that at least have some sort of welcome pack, just as well we came prepared. We were told nothing about the property as to workings etc we had hot towel rails the first morning but after that they were cold, the hot tub had no switch to turn off, we did not know if it was automatic, I did not use it but my granddaughter loved it, her mum took her in one evening, the weather was horrendous but to keep her happy they went in, there was a clip to hold the lid together but it was broken and that night there was a blustery wind the cover was blown open and we did not notice as it was around the side of the property, I was going out with my dogs to be greeted by a very rude man, don’t know who he was moaning about the hot tub which I had no clue about. Night before leaving my son in law politely asked if we could charge my car as the local charger did not work and he was told he had already used too much electricity etc the owner was very rude and turned his back, my son in law tried to explain that he had closed the hot tub, the gale we had that night must have blown open the top of the hot tub, why would he leave it open deliberately? He is very careful. On leaving my daughter took off her bedding and I commented that she should not take off pillow protectors she told me the bed was not made up no duvet cover or pillowcases, they had decided to give my granddaughter the bedroom with the en-suite as she has special needs but I did not know the bedroom they were in was not made up or I would have questioned the owners as they knew there were six of us.
The house is lovely and well furnished and has most things you need. Beds are comfortable and towels provided are huge and lovely and soft. There could have been hooks on the bathroom doors that would be handy for dressing gown etc, no toilet roll holders and no grab rails in showers, showers were good if you wanted an overhead drench shower but handheld one should really have a swivel holder so that you could aim water without having to hold the shower head, my disabled husband had great difficulty with this, there could have been a shower seat, we brought our own. There was liquid soap in bathrooms, dishwasher tablets, washing up liquid and cloths, no coffee machine but a cafetière was provided. On reading the listing I imagined a lovely walk along the beck with a proper pathway hoping that my disabled husband could use his mobility scooter but you are tramping through a field dodging sheep poo and as we had so much rain we were just walking in mud. This is not a place for children as nothing to do not even a swing park.
North Yorkshire villages and towns are beautiful but this is a place for serious hill walkers. The rude owner should be ashamed of himself as the incident with the hot tub was not deliberate as we as a family who respect other peoples property.

"A beautiful, well appointed house."
Beds were really comfortable and the furnishings were all good quality.
Sited in a great location on the farm and easy access to surrounding sites
The only thing that I found slightly disappointing was the size of the oven and number of bigger saucepans. As it is a house for 8 it was tricky to cook roast dinner for this number.
Otherwise everything else was really good and we had a lovely stay

"We have just returned from a fabulous stay at orcaber farmhouse."
It had everything you could need while there, very spacious and clean. We loved the open plan aspect downstairs as very sociable when away with a group. Lovely secure garden for the dogs, just to note the wall is low, about waist height, so great for small/medium dogs or ones you know will not jump it. We had medium size dogs who were perfectly safe in there. Fab size hot tub with great views of the sunset whilst sat in it. Very comfy beds. Owners were great and came to greet us when we arrived and were on hand if we needed anything. Also very handy having the secure dog field opposite the house for the dogs to have a good run around in. We couldn't fault our stay and would definitely return.
We visited Ingleborough nature trail and caves which is just down the road from the house which was a great place to take the dogs.

"What a lovely place to stay, we had a warm welcome & enjoyed our stay."
The only thing I missed were some occasional tables to put drinks on, but that is a personal choice. No toilet roll holders seemed a bit odd but also a personal choice, these are not complaints just observations, the cottage is lovely & we had a great time, good location too!

"Really lovely stay."
Such a calm and relaxed feel about the place.
The downstairs is a lovely sociable area with very comfortable sofas.
Beds and bedding of great quality, extra little touches such as USB points in the bedrooms, lovely bedside lighting options. Kitchen very well equipped and the hot tub and garden just lovely.
Great base to explore the local areas and beyond. Equally a lovely place to just relax.
Owners checked in with us to make sure all was okay.
Would definitely recommend a stay here.

"Lovely place for a short stay."
Well equipped and beautifully clean. 3 very big sofas. Gorgeous garden that is well looked after - this was wonderful to look out on through the glass doors and to sit in when the weather is dry. Perfect place for our mini holiday. Thank you.

"Absolutely wonderful stay."
My friends and I had a great couple nights here and we enjoyed every moment. I appreciate the owner calling me in advance to ask how I would like the beds to be set out as I believe they can separate them if families were wanting to stay. Shops are about a 10 minute drive away in case anyone is needing any essentials items. Hot tub was great and was able to fit 8 people in. I would request the owner to leave the temperature control to the people staying as we found it a bit milder than to our liking. However, this is a minor complaint and would not deter me from staying again!
