April 2021

“First day of re-opening after lockdown, so it was a much-needed holiday.”

It worked perfectly and was spotless. Exceeded expectations. Location is terrific. Would love to think we can return.

“This place was absolutely amazing and we had a very comfortable stay.”

If I had to think of anything that could have been better then I would say putting a Wardrobe in the downstairs bedroom would have been better as there was nowhere to hang clothes. Other than that I couldn’t really fault it. Would definitely recommend this place and stay there again.

“Beautiful cottage in a lovely area, second time at this cottage.”

Couple of niggles this time and I ended up leaving a day early due to zero sleep all week, the mattresses ... very uncomfortable felt every spring and so loud when you turn in the night. I went here with my mother and daughter and my mother struggled the same in her bed. Also unfortunately the people who booked the adjoining cottage had zero respect for anyone else and insisted on slamming doors and banging and crashing in the middle of the night and shouting (did ruin the holiday but not the cottage/owners fault). En-suite shower also didn’t like to drain so had to keep stopping the shower which made it all take 10 times as long. I would recommend and if a couple changes were made I would visit again. Beautiful location very central and everything and everywhere easy to get to

“Pear tree cottage is a lovely place to stay, it is in the perfect location for visiting York.”

The farm is very quiet and peaceful. We will definitely look at this place first the next time we come go to york.

Mrs Merry November 2019

“The cottage is absolutely beautiful and a perfect location for the York Christmas market.”

The owners were so friendly and the welcome treats of scones and wine were lovely and very enjoyable after a long drive! There are plenty of good places to eat close by if you don't want to cook....Cross Keys and Pear Tree Farm were excellent. We all had a fantastic time and will definitely book here again and we will not hesitate to recommend it.

“A wonderful cottage in a lovely village.”

The owners were very welcoming, the cottage was immaculately presented. The photos on the website don’t do it justice- it really is a lovely place to stay.

Mr Boardman February 2019

“A unique and lovely cottage in a great location (near university, city and ring road - so also great for visits further afield).”

The cottage is newly built in an airy, open plan style, with a more traditional exterior. This made for a very pleasant surprise on arrival, where we also met with fresh scones, jam, and wine! Very welcome! The cottage is well equipped and warm, and the beds are very comfy. Would highly recommend. Many thanks for a very pleasant stay. We would love to return.

“Felt comfortable as soon as we walked in.”

“Superb!”

Myself my wife and my elderly mother recently stayed in Pear Tree cottage for our annual Christmas trip to York. Previously we have stayed on hotels close to York itself - I’m so glad that this year we decided to have a change! The moment we collected the key from the cleverly designed collection point we guessed that this would be a well set up establishment. Through the electric gate and directed to our own personal parking spot to unpack our car. We reasoned that the beautiful courtyard would look even more so in the Summer months. We unlocked our cottage - and wow! The first thing my wife noticed was the warmth and the lovely fresh smell. The heating had been set up for us in advance, which was lovely. Walking into the living space and straight away we had the feeling that someone had put their heart and soul into this place! It was so tasteful and clean and beautifully presented. From the complimentary wine left for us, to the cream tea, milk etc all waiting in the fridge. The bathrooms were immaculate, not a speck of dust to be found. The stove fire had all the wood and fire lighters you’d need for a cosy night in front of the smart tv. It really was home from home! The owners of The cottages have the balance just right. Offering visitors a beautiful setting, with everything required for an extremely comfortable stay, at the same time managing to give visitors the utmost privacy ( their home is just across the court yard) I have highly recommended this wonderful gem to my friends and family- I will also be booking next years visit very soon!

Mr Lea October 2018

“Gorgeous cottage for our weekend stay.”

It had everything we needed and little touches such as wine on arrival and a cream tea in the fridge made us feel really welcome. I would definitely come back to this cottage.

Ms Sheppard August 2018

“The rural location, but close enough to york for the park and rides and easy access to the moors and the North Yorkshire coast line .”

- Ms Sheppard, August 2018
Mr Lockhart April 2018

“We were pleasantly surprised 'cause the house was fully equipped with everything you may need and even a bit more, from coffee, tea & milk to dishwasher tablets, toiletries etc.”

. My family and i had a wonderful time, the host was extremely helpful, friendly & kind was all clean and tidy easy to find (except for the heating system) we would love to get back as we really enjoyed it, my only criticism would be that i found the bed a little bit uncomfortable otherwise all great.

- Mr Lockhart, April 2018
Mr Mcquade April 2018

“Pear tree cottage was beautifully furnished, finished and spotlessly clean.”

So close to York and its attractions yet surrounded by lovely countryside. The welcome pack of scones and cream was a nice touch from the very friendly owners. We wouldn't hesitate to book again and look forward to returning.

- Mr Mcquade, April 2018
Mr Tempest March 2018

“Lovely stay in a brilliant cottage.”

Has everything you would need and more! In a great location close to York and all local attractions. The welcome pack of food was an added bonus when we arrived!

- Mr Tempest, March 2018
Mr Lawson February 2018

“Pear Tree Cottage is spacious, well equipped and is perfectly located to explore the attractions in and around York.”

From the individually heated rooms, wonderful showers to the log burner considerable thought and attention to detail has gone into the cottage. Gary and Gill were perfect hosts and we loved the scones after a day out exploring. Thank you!

- Mr Lawson, February 2018
Mr Langford February 2018

“We were the first booking for this property and were blown away by the quality of the accommodation.”

The photos do not do it justice. It is beautifully finished and so spacious with everything you could want. Gary the owner is a great guy and really friendly (without being on top of you). York is around £15 away by taxi which made this property ideal for us as we didn’t have to worry about parking etc. Thank you for a lovely stay and we loved the scones, chocolate, crisps and wine that we’re waiting for us when we arrived! - a lovely thoughtful touch! :)
