The Farm House

This place is absolutely stunning, views were beautiful, the garden was more enclosed than we originally thought it would be, so it put us at ease with the dogs and children.

There were some issues we had with the place, although it was very beautiful there was some maintenance issues. As soon as we got there we went to open a window and the bottom of the window frame came away, the windows need replacing as they are rotted, so we were a little concerned opening anymore windows, we did speak to the owner about this and he said that they are needing to be replaced. The bathtub in the master bedroom en-suite has a big crack in it, the repair has been dodged and not fully sealing the crack, so we didn’t feel like this could be used. The shower in the en-suite also leaked/dripped continuously. The main bathroom shower was full of limescale so pressure etc wasn’t brilliant. There was no “normal” drinking glasses in the house, they were either pint glasses that you would get from a pub, wine glasses or champagne flutes, which none were suitable for young children. The kettle needs replacing, it had limescale and was in general not clean. The coffee machine which they advertise doesn’t work. Also a 2 slice toaster for a house that sleeps 10 isn’t helpful. The frying pans could do with replacing, one of them the bottom was coming away so couldn’t be used, which left a very small frying pan and a small wok style one. Seating outside could do with an upgrade or at least have enough seats for 10 people, which this place holds. Also lights for outside, they have a motion sensor one, but none that can be switched on while you’re outside, so once it gets a little dark you have to go inside. The table is a fire pit style table, which would have given a little light but this had ran out of gas. We were a little concerned about the positioning of an external camera, it was positioned so it over looked the hot tub and seating area, which is fine if it’s turned off when you’re there but we had no way of knowing this, so felt uncomfortable getting into/being in hot tub. A couple of the external doors don’t shut unless you lock them using the deadbolt locks or lock it with the key. In two of the bedrooms when we rolled the blinds down they had massive brown stains over them. Also a little pre warning if you have young children, the hot water from the hot taps come out HOT, and I mean scalding, but within a couple of seconds when you turn the tap on, so just keep that in mind when children are washing their hands. The place is beautiful and i would recommend it or stay again, i just feel like for nearly £4000 a week it could be upgraded or thought about a little bit more. It didn’t affect us too much though, they were more inconvenient problems, but if the owner isn’t aware of them then they aren’t able to rectify the issues or would even think about replacing certain things. The place was very clean and a beautiful place/decor, it just needs some TLC.

The entire place was shabby, grubby and unkempt.

Doors and windows rotting. A lot of them were sealed shut. You couldn't go in the dining room as nothing opened and it was a really hot weekend. Stained blinds. Blinds that are just balanced on which fell off onto one of us. I informed the manager and no enquiring as to how that person was. Smoke alarm missing. We had to clean the fridge ourselves. Cracked and loose paving slabs outside were not ideal for small children. No chlorine in the hottub so the water went murky pretty quickly. I informed the manager and he did offer to rechlorinate but its not safe on your skin to sit in fresh chlorine so we said no. Cracked bath and mouldy shower in the ensuite. The place is beautiful but its very rundown and shabby around the edges. The prosecco and chocolates were a nice touch and the space indoors and garden were spacious and private but I wouldn't have booked had we known the place is quite rundown. Maybe a few years ago it was 5 star but not now.

We had a lovely family weekend away at the farmhouse and thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

The house itself is fabulous – spacious, comfortable, and well-equipped, making it the perfect place to relax and spend quality time together. The garden was fantastic for the children, giving them plenty of space to play and explore, and the whole property felt welcoming and homely. There were so many positives to our stay, and overall we had a wonderful experience. The only slight disappointment was that we weren’t aware the hot tub was log-fired. It took quite a long time to heat up, and we would have preferred a traditional hot tub with jets that could be used more instantly. We were also looking forward to using the gym facilities, but unfortunately the treadmill in the garage wasn’t working and the equipment could do with a bit of updating. That said, these were only minor issues in what was otherwise a perfect stay. We made some great family memories and would happily recommend the farmhouse to others looking for a comfortable countryside getaway.

Great accommodation.

The small bedroom with the bunk beds was far too small for our teenage boys, and they ended up sleeping on the sofas. When I enquired about the annex with the bedroom, I was told this wasn’t included in our booking, despite it being in the farmhouse itself. The bath in the en-suite needs some attention, and there’s a few loose tiles on the floor. It’s in a beautiful spot, with very scenic surroundings. The farmhouse itself it lovely, and had everything you would need for a self catering holiday.

The place is stunning, lovely views, all rooms were very cosy and comfortable and big.

The only thing i would suggest is the kitchen equipment could be updated made more modern. All in all tho would definitely stay there again.

We went for our grandson 16th birthday we loved the place plenty for lads to do pool and gym very quiet and peaceful we would go again

What a beautiful and spacious house this.

It must take some looking after. The beds are really comfortable and the bathrooms are great to. We had 10 with us so every toilet was welcome. From walking in to leaving it was fantastic. I only have 1 bad thing to say is take pjs but only shorts and tshirt because the house is rather hot. And with underfloor heating it was great. The chocolates and prosecco on arrival too which was a class act. Thanks for a great weekend

This is a fabulous place!

It's spacious, cosy and well equipped. We all loved every aspect of it, the games room was a hit with our younger family members and the converted gym for the older ones. The hot tub was an added bonus on a frosty evening, and lots of fun was had by all. If I have any criticism it would be that the kitchen equipment is very old, there was a faulty socket and the blind in the bedroom was defective. There were no hairdryers but one quick message to the owner solved that and he delivered one in a jiffy. It needs a bit of a deep clean, it was very dusty but all in all it is highly recommended.

Our first time at the farmhouse & we loved our short stay.

Nice & spacious with complimentary Prosecco & chocolates being a nice greeting. The beds were super comfortable & the master en suite bedroom definitely had the wow factor We did get in the wood fired hot tub but it takes a few hours to get the temperature hot enough to get in. The men loved the games room. Plenty of parking & the dog loved his stay too.

Morning the only problem we had and that was it took a full day for being able to use the Hot Tub and keeping it hot through the time we where there

Lovely stay.

We had a great time which would have been even better if the hot tub was ready for us on arrival. Little things like : only one pool cue, no tip on the other window in dining room broke water coming through window frame where Christmas tree was. If these things were addressed it would have been perfect.

This place was amazing.

It slept 10 comfortably and there was so much space. It is of a high standard and well worth the cost. We have all had a brilliant time there and we will definitely be going back. It's peaceful with lovely views. Horses in the fields next to the house and birds of prey landing on tge hedges was great to see. 10/10 from us

We had a fantastic weekend away at the Farmhouse, it truly has the wow factor.

The whole place was warm and welcoming from the moment we arrived. It was toasty warm even without the log burners, though we lit them in the evenings for the lovely, cosy ambience. The furnishings, bed linen and overall comfort were excellent. Our bed in the main suite felt like sleeping on a cloud, with sumptuously soft pillows. We cooked some lovely meals during our stay, full English breakfasts, a proper Sunday roast and more. The oven worked very well, but the hob was a little frustrating as the temperature kept cutting out. It didn’t spoil anything, but it was a bit annoying at times. We played darts, snooker and family games. One tip for future guests: if you’re serious players, bring your own darts and snooker cues, as the ones provided aren’t great quality. The wood-fired hot tub was fabulous. Yes, it takes a bit of time to heat up, but once hot, it stayed that way all weekend and was perfect for relaxing with a glass of champagne.

The house is lovely, spacious and comfortable.

We came away from our stay with lots of extra special memories to treasure. To make it even better for future guests the games room needs brighter lighting, tips on all the pool cues and a full set of darts!

Wow, what a weekend!

We celebrated a special birthday at the house with family and it was amazing! Totally wowed by the house itself, stunning!! Bedrooms were beautiful too with very comfortable beds, luxury! Kitchen perfect place to party with everything you need! Games room was a nice bonus too for the children. Lovely having the horses a stone throw away ans the children enjoyed feeding them Would highly recommend and we would love to stay again xx

An absolute gem of a property in a fantastic location for those who want to get away from it all but have all the comfort of a superb home Highly recommended

We had the most amazing family weekend and the house was in the perfect location and setting.

Comfy beds and bedding, games room for entertainment, a gym to potter in and luxurious lounge areas. Just a couple of niggles which if sorted would make it a true 5Star property. The oven was terrible, the dishwasher needed the filter cleaning so was useless and despite beautiful coffee machines, there was no cafetière.

The house on arrival gave us that WOW feeling.

The Farm House was very clean with lots of space for 10 guests. The arrival pack was a lovely gesture as it was our mums 93 birthday. The whole family thoroughly enjoyed their stay, especially the children who had the hot tub and the games room which made their stay a pleasurable one. We would definitely look to stay again.

One of the best houses we have stayed in, absolutely stunning.

The Farm House is a beautiful building in a beautiful location.

Love large garden but could use more outdoor seating nearer the building. The house itself could do with some attention. 5 sets of double doors, but you can only open 1 due to them being screwed shut. The heating is controlled by the owner so you have no options to turn it up or down without asking. The place just needs some TLC to make it worth what you are paying for. Attention to detail.

The location is perfect, unreal to be honest, the grounds the house and the facilities are perfect, close proximity to major roads, fare enough away to be private.

The house internally has everything you need for a break with a well designed kitchen for family time and get together. The beds where clean as was the house and most importantly comfortable, my only Criticism would be the exterior, more specifically the windows are well weathered with some actually beyond repair, a bit of TLC is this department would make the world of difference. Did it affect our stay though, absolutely not. Perfect house perfect setting, would I recommend it and stay again, Definitely..

We have just returned back from a weekend at The Farm House and we were blown away with how gorgeous it is.

The photos on the listing don’t do it justice. It’s huge! Each bedroom is light and spacious with views of surrounding fields. The master bedroom is like a suite! It was the perfect venue and the property owners were accommodating to the couple of requests we had. Would definitely book again.

We had a lovely 3 night stay here, everything we could have needed was available throughout the property.

With plenty of space, a beautifully decorated interior and scenic and peaceful exterior, everyone was impressed with our choice for this special birthday getaway

This property is a hidden gem.

Short journey from home and perfect in every way. We were a family of 10 celebrating a 16th birthday, we had the most amazing time and would return in a heart beat. I would imagine this place would be equally as perfect in the summer months

The house overall is perfect for a family together or just relax.

Looking out at sheep every morning and evening was lovely and added to this home. If you like your night skies, it's perfect. We only got one clear night in the stay but the stars were amazing.

We have just spent the weekend here celebrating my husbands 30th with our family and it was amazing, the house is beautiful and clean, the beds are so comfy there is nothing I could complain about.

There is so much to do and the children loved seeing the sheep.

The upkeep and maintenance of the property should be improved to reflect the £1300 price for 4 nights.

The location is good and the property could be very good.

An absolutely beautiful house in an amazing setting.

We loved the kitchen, living space and bedrooms and all agreed the beds were super comfy. The gardens were fabulous and our Cockapoo, Toffee, loved the freedom. The kitchen alcove seating was wonderful and provided many fun meals for all the family. The games room was fun, as was the gym which our daughter enjoyed. We felt the cleaning of some areas could be better. There were a lot of cobwebs in corners and some bedroom drawers were not as clean as they could be. The kitchen needed more utensils; there was no colander or large sieve. The wine glasses were plentiful but no pint glasses and not enough. The en suite shower was not very strong and temperature impossible to regulate, so a little hot. Beautifully presented though with handy alcove for shower gels etc. The family bathroom was beautiful and efficient. It was such a shame that the doors in the living room and dining room could not be opened and looked as if they had been fixed shut. Open they would have provided a beautiful access to the garden. The garden seating was great, together with the inbuilt fire pit. It would be nice to have another table and chairs outside the house in the garden for the less mobile and to enjoy the view. The sheep in the garden were a delight. Such a wonderful house that just needs some general maintenance . However we would return in a heartbeat to this fabulous house in this beautiful part of the country. Thank you.

The house was absolute beautiful with a quality feel whilst being comfortable!

We all had an amazing time. There was 11 of us, there was lots of room for us all and our teenagers loved the games room. We didn’t even use the large dining room as it wasn’t needed. There was only one issue for us and that was no fence for the garden. We had a dog who has a natural herding instinct. He was very well behaved but we took a long line lead with us so he still had a little bit of freedom but we couldn’t truly relax knowing the sheep was in the other field. We did have an issue with not being able to turn the cooker on, we contacted the owners who were there within minutes and showed us how to work it, told us about the local pub and was available via text/ phone for a few non urgent queries. The wood burning Hot tub was great and easy to use and the wood was replenished when we asked (bit of feedback- could have a few seats around the hot tub area) Richmond town was a short drive away. We also had a 20 minute walk down the bridal path to the local pub (which is dog friendly) and the locals were very welcoming. In a nutshell We would definitely return and had some amazing quality family time together in a beautiful environment. Thank you!

Wonderful property, absolutely huge and great layout for kids.

Comfortable, cosy and hope to return one day. Highly recommend!!

Lovely property and location.

Plenty of things to do and the gym and games room kept the kids (and adults) entertained. Very friendly owners who were on hand to help with any queries. Recommend a walk across to the George in Piercebridge. Allow 2hrs with kids.

This is a stunning property in an absolutely beautiful, peaceful location.

Each room is beautifully furnished and made to feel very homely. The outdoor space is also lovely. There are only minor things that would have made our stay even more enjoyable: -hand wash in every bathroom/toilet rather than just one for the entire house. -some guidance on the hot tub i.e how long it would take to heat -spare gas canister for the outdoor table top fire (it ran out 2 minutes after we fired it up!!) Otherwise a wonderful stay, would definitely recommend.

Great stay and a very accommodating host We had a fabulous stay
