• "Just a few small details are needed we have been going to the farmhouse for several years now it’s a lovely winter break but there are a few things now need updating."

  The toilet in the farmhouse downstairs not working well there was a toilet brush left in there with toilet roll tissue all in the brush not very pleasant to see or use. The towels were very hard and old they have been there for years. We were looking forward to the wood burner we were left with one small box of wood there was about three small brickets a small handful of kindling a box of matches if we had have know it was there it might have lasted for about two hours there was also no paper to light the fire with. There used to be a shed full of wood we were told that it was getting stolen from shed if it was it could be locked in another shed. It just didn’t have that little bit of extre care that Nicola and her husband used to do they used to put up a Christmas tree which really made it a treat. This has not put us off going back but if you could look at small things and the wood burner it would be good.

• "Outstanding property in a beautiful location in the Yorkshire Moors."

  This property was ideal for our extended family to stop in while we holidayed in Yorkshire and was a superb base to explore from. The property was in immaculate condition with everything required provided. Multiple private spaces was also a bonus and the garden was ideal for our children to play in. All in all, an excellent property and we look forward to stopping here again in the future.

• "Enjoyed everything about our stay."

  The farmhouse was in a lovely quiet location, very spacious and had everything we needed whilst retaining its character. Although the weather wasn’t suitable this time, we would enjoy returning and using the garden & picnic table. We appreciated the coffee, milk, biscuits & washing up lliquid. Although minor things, they make a big difference and a great welcome when arriving at a holiday cottage.

• "We had an enjoyable week at 'The Farmhouse' on the whole, but with a few minor caveats."

  In terms of positives: -The farmhouse was nice and spacious -Directions were a breeze with the 'What3Words' reference (excellent idea!) -There was milk in the fridge on arrival -Loo roll, dishwasher tablets, tin foil, washing up liquid - all provided! -A selection of toys and books (which the kids loved!) -The bed linen was nice and clean and the en-suite and bathroom seemed clean -Nice sized bath -Decent flow rate on the shower -Lots of radiators -Nice sized TV with good freeview channel reception -Internet Access -Internet and DAB enabled Kitchen Radio -Flexibility in booking (we wanted Sunday to Sunday and it was fantastic we could be accomodated) -Didn't see the owners (we like to keep ourselves to ourselves and appreciated the privacy!) -We tested the fire alarm briefly and it beeped which was reassuring -Parking right in front of the house -Great location - quiet, but amenities only a few miles away In terms of not-so-positives (some which can be addressed for the next visitors): -The Kitchen could be cleaner. Lots of things felt sticky to the touch, like someone had been frying food and a thin film of stickiness pervaded. Some of the cupboard doors need a scrub. - The crockery and cutlery was at times dirty - not just dishwasher water-marked, but actually 'bits of food attached' dirty. We felt we needed to check every item we used and had to wash several items before we could use them -2x of the Toaster Slots do not work -The Kettle had thick layers of limescale - we cleaned this with water and swirling and emptying -Dog hairs all over the floor. We've 2x small children that like to play on the floor space. Whilst they're not allergic, we found that their clothes and toys seemed to get a layer of dog hairs regularly. Hopefully a deeper vacuuming will sort this. -The 'main' radiator in the living room (next to the TV) doesn't get very warm - I think it needs bleeding -The TV was sometimes temperamental and wouldn't respond to key presses until switched off and on again -The TV remote batteries said 'very low' on screen repeatedly - though we remedied this by swapping the main TV remote with the DVD player remote batteries. However, all batteries should be checked. -The Towels are pretty small in size and it'd be nice if they were swapped out with larger towels. -The seals in the glass of the Sun Room's windows have gone and need replacing. As it was fairly cold (March) we didn't sit out there of an evening, but had we wanted to, the streaky glass was a bit of an eyesore. -The floors are quite creaky (it's an old house, not a complaint, more an observation). -The fan in the ensuite (above the door) seemed to be off - this should be tested and switched on to avoid condensation/mould -There weren't any spare bin liners. We creatively managed to use the bathroom ones as main-bins later into our stay. -There's a switch by the front door for the heating which has 'leave on' or something written on it a bit faded. I'd suggest a bit of orange tape or something to make it clearer/more obvious In summary, we enjoyed our stay, and a few small bits of TLC could make it much more comfortable for future stays. We wouldn't fall over ourselves to stay there again, but likewise, we've no reason to suggest to avoid it. All in all the comfort to price ratio was about right.
