Mr Norgrove
September 2020

“Our second year running at Boundcliffe Farm, and hoping to book again in 2021.”

Very comfortable, and newly decorated, with everything we needed. Plenty of room for our party of 6, and the two dogs. Had to resort to the woodburner on chillier evenings -- couldn't crack the Enigma Code of the central heating, and simpler instructions might be handy for autumn/winter visitors. But that's a small quibble. Allerston is a quiet village, with an excellent pub at the top of the road. Easy access to Scarborough, Whitby, Pickering, Helmsley and the moors.

Lovitt September 2020

“The farmhouse is lovely and had everything you could need.”

Loved the way the owner put the bread maker on so on arrival you had fresh bread and the smell was lovely. If there was any small thing to change it would be, new dart board as the darts now fall out, a cupboard to put your food as they are so we'll equipped all cupboards are full and instructions on how to put heating on as could get cold at night. But overall it was excellent would defanatley stay again.

- Lovitt, September 2020
Mr Field September 2020

“What an amazing cottage.”

So comfortable and relaxing. Excellent facilities and well equipped. The extra touches of bread baking as we walked in and wood provided for the fire was over and above.

- Mr Field, September 2020
Mr Shevlin September 2020

“Had a great time.”

Cottage was massive and in a great spot for visiting very pretty nearby villages and bigger towns of Scarborough and Whitby. Had a good sized garden and access to trampoline and football pitch, which my girls loved. Also had darts, pool and a play station, although it desperately needs new darts and cues! Bed rooms were great size although configuration wouldn't work for some. Old fashioned decor but fine for us.

- Mr Shevlin, September 2020
Mr Woolley September 2020

“Really enjoyed our stay excellent facilities and very clean.”

Will visit again definitely.

Mrs Noble August 2020

“Given the current restrictions due to The Covid 19 Pandemic we were absolutely delighted with the accommodation at Boundcliffe Farm.”

On arrival it was exceptionally clean, all the accommodation and furnishings were immaculate and therefore we felt at ease and comfortable immediately. The house is very spacious and provided an excellent base for our family holiday. The bedrooms are very spacious and again provided plenty of space for the 3 generations staying together. The large garden and play area were very much appreciated by our lively grandsons. The pool table was a great asset too - the grandsons enjoyed learning how to play. Would certainly recommend to other family groups.

- Mrs Noble, August 2020
Mrs Norton July 2020

“A fantastic cottage for the family, 6 adults, 3 small children and a baby.”

Ideal, the children loved it. A lovely gesture on arrival of fresh homemade bread , cake and buns. Milk in the fridge, such a nice touch. Horses in the field opposite. Lovely garden and patio area. A small playground for the children and trampolines, cows in the barn. A field for the children to play football. Not too far in the car to the beach. A visit is a must to Thornton Le-Dale. No coffee or sugar or blue bags for paper and cardboard but we managed.

- Mrs Norton, July 2020
Mrs Parkin-mackenzie February 2020

“The cottage was lovely, fresh bread and buns on arrival was a lovely touch.”

Things like washing up liquid, dish washer tablets etc was provided and much appreciated. Pretty much everything we needed was there. Lovely big kitchen. Beds were really comfy. The kids loved the games room!! Really enjoyed our stay and would definately recommend

- Mrs Parkin-mackenzie, February 2020
Mrs Roe January 2020

“We celebrated my husbands 40th birthday here with family and had a fantastic time.”

There was fresh bread and cupcakes waiting for us as we arrived which was a lovely touch. The cottage was clean and had plenty of space for us all. The pool table and darts board were a hit with the whole family and the younger children loved the little door separating the rooms. We used the complimentary pass to Dalby Forest one day and had a drive to the coast another. I would highly recommend this beautiful cottage and am looking for dates for us to go again!

- Mrs Roe, January 2020
Mr Watson January 2020

“Myself and 8 friends (all above 30) stayed here for the weekend and we all had a wonderful time.”

On arrival the owners had left us some cakes and a loaf of homemade bread which we thought was a lovely touch. The cottage is a good size with everything you need for an enjoyable stay. We particularly enjoyed the games room and large kitchen area where we could all sit together to eat and play games around the table. The bedrooms are large and the beds are comfy. We have no complaints and thought the price we paid was excellent. We would definitely recommend this lovely cottage and hope to return again in the future.

- Mr Watson, January 2020
Mr Roberts November 2019

“Beautiful cottage with plenty of parking on a working farm which we all loved especially when we went to see the cows in the barn!”

The owners were very helpful and friendly and live next door which is ideal if you have any problems. We walked into a fabulously sized kitchen with buns and a loaf of bread waiting for us - delicious. The only thing we found was there wasn't quite enough serving bowls, we had a party of 8 so were doing a lot of food and found we were struggling to find bowls to serve food up in but that is literally the only criticism. The pool table was a big hit especially with the 2 teenagers we had with us and the 8 year old loved the little door between the bedrooms! Having 2 rooms with a double bed and a single bed is ideal when you have smaller children so they can be in the same room as you. Overall we had a great weekend celebrating our sons 18th birthday and would definitely come again as it's only an hour from home and we regularly visit Dalby forest anyway so it was great to have it on the doorstep. I would definitely recommend Boundcliff farm

- Mr Roberts, November 2019
Mr El Sakka October 2019

Mrs Laghaney August 2019

- Mrs Laghaney, August 2019
Mrs Wilson July 2019

“We all absolutely loved this cottage, the farm was great, the cottage was lovely and clean.”

A nice little touch was when we arrived there was freshly baked bread and buns waiting for us. It was also close enough to the shops. We will be back.

- Mrs Wilson, July 2019
Mrs Wray June 2019

“We loved the location of the farmhouse and the play field at the back was enjoyed by everyone from my 16month old grandson his mum and dad his auntie and his uncles to his grandad .”

The farmhouse had everything we needed to have a fabulous gathering for my birthday with plenty of room for us all 7 adults and a toddler . All in all a great place to spend the weekend . Much fun was had by all .

- Mrs Wray, June 2019
Mr Palethorpe May 2019

“Spent a week at the property as part of a family celebration.”

We were greeted by the welcoming smell of freshly baked bread, and a homemade cake. It was an interesting property with unique features, like the little door connecting two of the bedrooms. Overall everything was clean but some parts were tired. All bedding was clean & fresh. As we went at the start of the new season we would have expected everything to be fresh from winter repairs. The drawer in the kitchen, left of the cooker, was broken. The main double bedroom had a curtain rail with a broken middle support & various curtain hooks missing. The shower cubicle door we felt was marked such that it could be best replaced. The pool table has seen better days, & had an interesting fall to one end! A throw on the back of the settee hides a hole in the back cushion. As the week proceeded it was found that the bathroom toilet had a leak, thankfully it seemed to be clear water. The property was ideally located for visits to the coast and North York moors. There were many well signed local walks, including one across the fields to the Grapes at Ebberston. The local pub, The Cayley Arms is worth a visit.

- Mr Palethorpe, May 2019
Miss Niblett March 2019

“Lovely place to stay!”

Perfect for a nice getaway with friends, plenty of space and very clean and comfortable . fresh bread and cake was excellent .

- Miss Niblett, March 2019
Mrs Dodds February 2019

“We had a lovely time at the farm.”

The kids loved the cows. Beds were comfortable and the kitchen was lovely. Cupcakes and fresh bread on arrival were delicious. A downstairs toilet would have been nice. We weren’t able to get the games/videos working and thought that it was maybe unnecessary and better off not being there. We had a lovely time tho

- Mrs Dodds, February 2019
Mr Watson February 2019

“Great cottage very spacious whilst cosy and homely at the same time.”

Our 2nd time and we will be back again.

Mrs Lees September 2018

“Nine of us recently had our annual girls weekend away and stayed at Boundcliffe Farm.”

On arrival we were greeted by the lovely smell of freshly baked bread and a fantastic home made Victoria sponge. The cottage was spacious, warm and comfortable. The beds were clean and comfortable too and the newly opened Cayley Arms is a short walk away. All nine of us have given Boundcliffe the thumbs up and will definitely be booking it again for next year!

- Mrs Lees, September 2018

Mrs Youle August 2018

“Ideal for families with children.”

-the access to a field to play football and trampoline; the access to walk round the farm and see the animals;lovely walks from the farm. The games room is well equipped for a "rainy day". Pickering is only 4 MILES AWAY inland ; Scarboro,Filey about 10miles on the coast.Lots of "Outdoors Activities" to visit----Aqua Park,Dalby Forest-Go Ape ,great for children. The farmhouse was well equipped and had a lovely ambience about it. Thoroughly enjoyed our familiies holiday

- Mrs Youle, August 2018
Mrs Stevenson August 2018

Lovely accommodation. The one thing we were very disappointed about was the amount of dog mess that was on the playing field. This left the football pitch unusable.

“We had a brilliant weekend--the weather was perfect but even in the rain this area is worth exploring.”

Well equipped and anything that was missing was quickly sourced for us by the owner. Pool table was definitely highlight for some. Nice little touches too. Bread on arrival, home made cake, and milk in fridge. Thank you.

- Miss Sayers, October 2016
Mr Miller October 2016

“The cottage was very good for our week away.”

The owner had left us a nice cake and a freshly baked loaf for our arrival which was a nice touch. The wifi was not as good as we would have hoped - one of our party had to submit work for his OU course whilst we were away and that proved difficult. In one sense it is a shame one has to take laptops away on holiday but often you want to use the internet for holiday-related purposes like checking the times of high tide, the location of dog friendly pubs, and the opening times of places to visit, etc. so a good wifi signal is becoming a must-have. The only other improvements we felt the property could benefit from would be a better dishwasher. Having the electric socket immediately above the hob seemed to be dangerous..... Otherwise it was very good. We like the Sykes search facility where you can see the number of bedrooms and bathrooms, not just say you want a property for a set number of people.

- Mr Miller, October 2016
Mrs Allott September 2016

“The cottage is in the perfect location for Dalby forest , it's fantastic for a group and everything you could possibly need is in the cottage , loved the cake and fresh bread upon arrival - fab .”

Bathrooms are a bit dated but worked for our needs . Would definitely recommend this cottage

- Mrs Allott, September 2016
Mr Derbyshire August 2016

“Lovely quirky property for a family, good childrens' facilities, friendly farmer and lots to do in the area.”

nice touch having a freshly baked cake and bread there on arrival - very welcome. One small point - the property is so very well equipped but surprised to find such poor quality cutlery, bends if you put any pressure on it - suggest a quick upgrade - nothing expensive - just a bit more substantial! Thanks for a lovely holiday.

- Mr Derbyshire, August 2016
Mrs Kosyl August 2016

“This was an excellent cottage for a family holiday.”

The cottage itself is spacious and a bit unusual with it's two staircases. The field with trampoline and other playthings was a big hit and great for using up the kids energy. We booked the other cottage which links to his one which was great for a family holiday. The only disadvantage was no village pub for lunch out or shop for the odd things you always run out of. The cottage was very clean and welcoming, especially with home baked cake for our arrival.

- Mrs Kosyl, August 2016
Mr Stoakes July 2016

“We found Boundcliffe Farm ideal for our family holiday.”

Everything considered, location, amenities and access we do not believe we could have found anywhere better.

- Mr Stoakes, July 2016

- Mrs Mulholland, July 2016
Mrs Wyatt June 2016

It served our party of four generations (ages 1-92yrs) very well.

Susan R November 2015

“The perfect family getaway”

Recently returned from a long weekend at Boundcliffe Farm with the family. Cottage the perfect size for the 10 of us.Loved the little 'secret' door between the 2 bedrooms and the younger kids loved running up and down the 2 staircases. Obviously got to mention the freshly cooked bread and cake on arrival. We all made good use of the games room, especially the pool table and dartboard. Despite the weather we enjoyed playing on the trampoline at the back. The whole accommodation was spacey but cosy and the wood burning fire was perfect for the dark evenings. Can't really fault anything, as everything we needed was there (though we could have done with instructions on using the dishwasher and electric oven/grill). It's a shame we couldn't have the bonfire the owner was going to arrange one night due to the bad weather. Ideal location and close to Scarborough. Would definitely recommend Boundcliffe Farm and hope to return again maybe in the summer months,

- Susan R, November 2015
Mrs Richardson October 2015

“We loved this quirky farmhouse with the big kitchen where we could all eat together.”

The children loved the games room and the football pitch and of course wi-fi. There were some lovely touches like home made bread and cake on arrival. The farm is well placed for visiting the coast and Dalby Forest. We would definitely visit again. Great for a family get-together.

- Mrs Richardson, October 2015
Mr Backhouse August 2015

“Great place to stay, well organised and great facilities including the park for the kids.”

Brilliant, we would definitely stay again.

- Mr Backhouse, August 2015
Miss Williams May 2015

“A great family holiday cottage with a great playing field for the kids.”

The accommodation was ideal for a family holiday with a really useful playroom for the children with TV, pool table, darts, videos and endless games. There were lovely walks in Dalby Forest for the dogs, from the cottage.

- Miss Williams, May 2015
Jondai May 2015

“Lovely holiday”

Just returned from a wonderful holiday. We were greeted when we arrived at the cottage by a yummy cake and fresh baked cake - what a treat!! The cottage was clean and spacious the accommodation was great for a big family, the field at the back with trampoline and play equipment and the playroom were perfect for the kids, they had a ball!! Thank you so very much for our lovely holiday xx

- Mrs Sandercock, March 2015
LJBrum March 2015

“Spacious and cozy holiday home, loved it!”

Just back from our stay at Boundcliffe Farm. Thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. It's rare to find a holiday home that accommodates so many while not at any point feeling crowded. The place had everything we needed and more. Loved the games room and all the little extras, toys DVDs (well VHS actually but that was wonderfully retro). The children loved the little door and ran round and round the house. A working farm so cows, horses and tractors all around. For the adults the log fire, darts and pool while the kids slept meant that we didn't miss the pub in evening at all. To top it off a homemade cake and bread in the breadmaker greeted us upon arrival. Lots of very thoughtful little touches. All in all a fab place and we're already planning a return trip.

- LJBrum, March 2015
Mrs Tisshaw March 2015

“The cottage was ideally situated for country/coast.”

The property was ideal for our party size and the kids loved being on the farm and were able to play in back field - would definitely use again.

“Great family holiday with a warm welcome”

Loved this cottage. Great location. Three families stayed for new year. Very well equipped. Made to feel really welcome with homemade bread and cake on arrival. Warm, clean and great for a large party. Kids loved the games room. Great farmhouse kitchen and table for family meals. Only downside was layout of bedrooms. Three families staying together and we had to compromise over bedrooms ie only 2 double rooms. Loved the real fire. Great for cosy evenings and bottle of wine.

- Z2518RMclaireb, January 2015
Mrs Thompson December 2014

“A brilliant place to spend time with friends and their children near to Christmas.”

We would certainly recommend to others and our kids want to know when we're going back. So many nice places to visit nearby, the kids favourite part of weekend was the holiday house though. Thanks for great holiday!

- Mrs Thompson, December 2014
Miss Hallsworth November 2014

Mrs Mawhinney December 2013

We used our week well and thoroughly explored the forest, the beaches and the villages. The location was just brilliant. We were a party of 7 adults and the 3 living areas suited us superbly. Huge kitchen for our Christmas turkey dinner! Thanks for the warm welcome, we appreciated everything you did.

- Mrs Mawhinney, December 2013
Mr Brackenbury November 2013

“Although I have only rated some things as good or average this does not mean we were at all disappointed.”

On the contrary, because we had four small children and six adults in our party we could relax perfectly and let the children enjoy themselves without worrying too much about damaging the property. It was perfect for our needs. Thanks again for recommending it to us on our initial enquiry

“A brilliant place to stay”

Everything was just right for an excellent family holiday. Clean, the beds were comfortable, there was plenty to entertain the kids and it was in a good position for getting to a range of venues. Just don't eat at the village pub-had to be the worst food and least friendly waitress-although the beer and landlord werte good.

- A FlipKey verified reviewer, December 2012
Mrs Withers December 2012

“We had a great family Christmas in this lovely family-friendly cottage.”

Plenty of room for us all, the kids (big and small!) loved the games room, and the female members loved the big kitchen and large table! The extra finishing touches from the owner were very welcome and much appreciated - the home-made cake, loaf baking in the bread-maker, tea/coffee/milk and sugar, but especially the little gifts for the children under the Christmas tree. What a lovely thought. We all really enjoyed our week there - we hope to return and would definitely recommend. Thank you!

- Mrs Withers, December 2012
Mrs Allen December 2012

“The cottage was really lovely & the owner made a lovely welcome pack for us that was very 'welcome'!”

The info book was very good & told us everything we needed to know, although the owner of the property was only next door & if we needed anything - but we didn't. I would & already have recommended this property to other people.

- Mrs Allen, December 2012
Carole W December 2012

“Great, family-friendly cottage”

We enjoyed a great family Christmas at this lovely family-friendly cottage. Plenty of room for us all (6 adults, 2 children, a baby and a dog) and the games room was a big hit with everyone. The large kitchen with a table big enough to seat everyone was brilliant. The children had great fun with the 2 staircases - go up one set from the kitchen, through the bedrooms and appear down the other set into the lounge! The little extras provided by the owner (homecade cake, loaf baking in the breadmaker, tea/coffee/milk and sugar) were much appreciated, and an especially nice touch were the little gifts left under the Christmas tree for the children. We hope to return and would definitely recommend this cottage.

- Carole W, December 2012

Quiet village. The children were able to visit and see the cattle at any time. Owners were most accommodating including the provision of home-made bread and cake and generous welcome pack. All we required was provided. Bed linen and towels excellent quality.

- Mrs Guest, July 2012
Mrs Shulver July 2012

“We had a very warm welcome.”

Bread cooking in the bread-maker and a lovely sponge cake, tea, coffee, sugar and milk were all there on our arrival. The owners told us to keep in touch if we needed anything and were very friendly. Overall a very good location and great size property.

“We loved it”

This was a last minute booming to replace a washed out camping trip and we're very glad we changed our plans. Lovely cottage, well appointed and spacious and without that "holiday cottage" smell that you get so often. Very clean and bright rooms and welcomed our canine companion happily too. Fresh bread baking on arrival and a home made cake waiting too which was very welcome. The wood burning stove was great. Perfect position for exploring the North Yorkshire moors and close to the coast too. The pub quiz in the local pub was enormous fun on Sunday night too. Our only tiny critcism is that for people who really like to cook when we go away, a few more pots, utensils and pans would be welcome in the kitchen. Highly recommended!! Thank you very much

Mrs Webster March 2012

“The cottage was exactly as described.”

The fresh baked bread and cake was very welcome. The owners were friendly and attentive but not intrusive. It is a perfect location for the coast and countryside. The car pass for Dalby Forest was used twice and the scones at the visitor centre recommended! We were very lucky with the weather, hardly a cloud each day, however the log burner kept the evening chill out beautifully.

- Mrs Webster, March 2012
Mrs Corby March 2012

“It was a great family break in a good location.”

It was easy to get to York and Whitby. There were plenty of beds and lots of seating for us all. Also it was the only self catering accommodation that we have stayed in that had adequate cutlery and crockery.

Ms Houton December 2011

Mrs Walling April 2011

“This was the best cottage I have stayed in!”

The owners were extremely helpful and pleasant. The cottage was very well equipped. There was a box of toys suitable for my grandson, a pool table, air hockey, darts set and playstation for us. The garden was self-contained so suitable for small children and dogs and there was use of a football pitch with a trampoline and slide. We arrived to the welcome of fresh baked bread and a home-baked cake. I feel these owners have high standards and want to make sure their guests have everything they can provide. I would definitely recommend it!

- Mrs Walling, April 2011
Miss Kershaw March 2011

“From arriving to leaving the owner could not have been more friendly, helpful and hospitable.”

She was wonderful from welcoming us on arrival, to letting us know where she was if we needed her, and finding out information for us. The fresh bread and cake were an added bonus, but even without those the farm, the property, the kind nature of the owner, the location, everything was wonderful. All 8 of my party agreed we would have loved to have stayed for a week. The house itself was beautiful and homely, from the wooden beams in the ceiling to the coal fire, we would loved to have been able to stay longer and do the activities we wanted to, interspersed with relaxing in the farm.

- Miss Kershaw, March 2011
Mrs Reece December 2010

“Lovely location.”

Lovely, homely feel with fresh bread and cake on arrival. Owners super super helpful with the amount of snow we had and clearing spaces for the cars etc. Had an amazing time!

- Mrs Armstrong, October 2010
Mrs Thorpe August 2010

“Lovely warm welcome, bread in the bread maker and a huge chocolate cake!”

The owners were nearby but not at all intrusive. The location was perfect for all the North York Moors could offer, walking, historic towns and beautiful coastline. I would recommend Boundcliffe Farm.

- Mrs Thorpe, August 2010
Mr Mason August 2010

“Greeting on arrival.”

Bread & cake provided was a nice touch. Outdoor facilities on farm a plus. Central location proved ideal for our extended family group with the seaside and moor villages on the doorstep.

- Mr Mason, August 2010
Mrs CLARKE May 2010

“Lovely and peaceful.”

The owners made us very welcome and put a trampoline and basketball nets out for the children. Safe enclosed garden. Walks straight out of back door without going near a road. Beautiful cottage, would definitely come back again.

- Mrs CLARKE, May 2010
Miss Weir May 2010

“We booked as a small group of friends who wanted to just chill out together for the weekend and this is exactly what we did.”

We couldn't have wished for a warmer welcome. The guys enjoyed the games room whilst the girls mainly lounged in the living room and kitchen. We had a ride out to Scarborough for a few hours then back to the cottage to chill out.
