  • "We had a lovely stay."

    The home was clean, facilities in the kitchen and bathrooms very good. We are thankful that the owners put up a Christmas tree to ensure a festive trip for the kids. Very considerate. Small touches of wine on arrival very appreciated. The property was easy to access on arrival. Great location to Ripon and local supermarkets, pubs. Thank you for ensuring we had a comfortable, cosy Christmas stay

  • "The house is a 10 minute walk into Ripon centre and just round the corner from the bus stop for buses to Harrogate and Leeds (£2 fare---a bargain)."

    There is a small, shared, but secluded garden to the back and a front drive with off-road parking. The area is pleasant and very quiet and the house is spacious and well equipped and represents very good value for money.

  • "Cosy, comfortable house, especially the sitting room, a well equipped kitchen."

    Enclosed garden for the dogs, little Rupert spent some time trying to find a way out, to no avail. Large selection of good condition DVD's and books to suit every age and interest.

  • "Worse holiday ever."

    House was dusty. Bunk beds not fit for purpose as they collapsed with my children on. Carpet grips on stairs hurt every time you went up. I had a nail go through my toe. Avoid!!

    HI and thank you for the feedback, we are sorry to read your comments. We can confirm the bunk beds and carpet in question have now been replaced. We do appreciate your feedback. Property Owner

  • "The house was comfortable and well equipped in a quiet location close to Ripon."

    Contrary to a previous review, we wouldn't have known anyone was living in the annex. A good location for touring and a good bus service to Ripon, if needed, and to Harrogate. We would recommend staying at Homefield House.

    Great base for visiting all of the attractions nearby. No problem with the annex attached - in fact lady very helpful when we arrived (we didn't notice two buttons to open key safe).

  • "Having read several reviews prior to our stay, we were slightly hesitant regarding how it would be."

    To be honest, the house was lovely. Not necessarily furnished as I would like. The glass table with the children felt scary, my being a fan of wood. The house was warm, comfortable with plenty of extras. We loved the sofa! The kitchen was extremely well kitted out with every size pan and dish you might need. Just one thing, a bedside lamp in the twin room is needed, and a larger cafetière, especially with a house-full.

    Thank you so much for the lovely feedback. We are pleased you enjoyed your stay and will certainly take all comments on board. We hope to see you again. Kind Regards Andy & Shere. Property Owner

  • "Exactly what we wanted."

    Easy walk into the town centre, but in a nice quiet area with a garden and several nearby parks for kids/dog. Others have mentioned someone living in the annexe, but honestly we wouldn’t have known she was there except for the car moving. The garden is very quiet and private, and the house very comfortable with all linens included and all necessary kitchen equipment. The owners were extremely helpful, both in advance and when we were there. We would definitely stay again, especially with such reasonable prices.

    Thank you so much for the lovely comments, we are pleased you enjoyed your stay and you are welcome back anytime. Andy & Shere. Property Owner

  • "House was not properly cleaned."

    Mess in drawers and generally not clean. Comments about this were in tie book from earlier this year but clearly little or nothing done to rectify issues. Worse was the misleading pictures and description of the property. (Also mentioned in the book on the property.) we were not advised that there was an annex to the right hand side of the front door of the property and in it was living the mother-in-law. This annex directly overlooked the small back garden making it uncomfortable to be in the garden. I expect you to investigate this and let us have your reply and proposals

    Hi Gordon, thank you very much for your feedback. The house is cleaned from top to bottom after each changeover so not sure what you are referring to when you say, “not properly clean” Also the pictures on the website are identical to the home and furnishing, so again we are not sure what you are referring to. It is a shame you didn’t contact us while you were at the property so we could rectify any issues you had. We do hope you enjoyed visiting the local facilities and we hope to see you again. All the best Andy & Shere. Property Owner

  • "This is definitely not the best property we have stayed in."

    The details omit to mention there is a granny annex attached to the property with someone living in it overlooking the garden and sharing the drive. The property is furnished very cheaply with old duvets and pillows that were stained and should be replaced, very old duvet covers. The chest of drawers don’t shut and MDF wardrobes with no hanging space in some rooms. The curtains are thin and cheap and don’t block out much sun. The beds are old (although mattresses look new) with awful plastic mattress protectors. The double bed is extremely small. There isn’t enough sofa space for 6 people and the property needs some sorting out. There are loads of plates in the kitchen but not enough glasses and no colander and only a cafetière for one person! It felt like a weird mix of stuff that’s just been added to over the years. The bathroom fan is broken. On arrival we contacted the owner as the property smelt really badly of dogs, there was very little washing up liquid, one dishwasher tablet and no bin bags. He did bring over some supplies but there was no welcome hamper as previous reviews suggest and it felt like the bare minimum was provided. It was reasonably priced and a good location for Ripon but definitely a very basic property.

    Thank you so much for the feedback, we will certainly take this onboard. We are very pleased you enjoyed the location and hope you had a great time visiting the local facilities. Hope to see you again, all the best Andy & Shere. Property Owner

  • "It was a lovely property and provided plenty of space for a group of four 30-40 something women, + 2 dogs, enjoying a weekend trip away to Yorkshire."

    The sofas and mattresses were very comfortable, the check-in was really simple and straightforward, and the property was well maintained. The only, really small thing is that certain things like a dish cloth and salt was missing from the property which meant that we had to go purchase these items to use but this is a very minor niggle.

    Thank you so much for the feedback, we have now added the items you mention. We are really pleased you enjoyed your stay and thank you so much for choosing Holmefield House, hope to see you again. All the best Andy & Shere. Property Owner

  • "We had a great week at Holmefield House."

    It is very well equipped and only 1/2 a mile from Ripon city centre. On site parking is great. There is a very useful path from further along the street onto Bondgate that makes the walk to the lovely cathedral a lot shorter than going round by the main road.

    Thank you for the great feedback, we would be more than happy to welcome you back to stay at Holmefield House. Property Owner

  • "The facilities are exceptional - every bit as convenient as being at home, but without the many down-sides!"

    The location is quiet and VERY convenient both for the centre of Ripon AND for taking the dog for lovely walks in the woods and with areas nearby for letting her off to run wild. We're moving to live locally so won't be renting in Ripon again but wouldn't hesitate to recommend Holmefield House as an excellent touring base.

  • "Disappointed that the bath was not useable."

    The shower was ok but apparently the previous weeks guests had broken the bath plug system and it wasn’t fixable until after our stay. As I personally prefer a bath, this was disappointing. Otherwise, the house was spacious and well equipped and in a good location for exploring North Yorkshire.

  • "The cottage was not hugely clean, there was rubbish left in the office on the 3rd floor."

    The home wasn’t suitable for small children, nothing was fixed to the walls, I had to move a bookcase out of the bedroom our children were sleeping in in case they pulled it over. The garden whilst enclosed was very sparse & we didn’t use it as it was directly overlooked from the weird granny annex which was uncomfortable. There was a Lot of every crockery, cutlery & utensils you could need but the high end appliances could do with a proper clean, they all smelled & had mildew.

  • "Disappointing, dirty n definitely wouldn't recommend it."

    Chipped crockery, 2 dirty utensil drawers full of crumbs. Filthy washing machine soap dispenser. Rust encased on bathroom soap dispenser. Layer of dust on towel heater. Settee full of crumbs and lounge carpet would benefit from a shampoo. Only one set of keys. Household rubbish bin full on arrival. In general standards simply not good enough.

    Thank you for your feedback, We are sorry to here you experienced the issues mentioned. If this was mentioned during your stay we would of loved to rectify these issues for you. Thank you for your comments regarding he carpets we will look into this. Again I am sorry but hope issues you highlighted did not take enjoyment from your holiday. Property Owner

    It is a superb accomadation with every facility you could possibly want. It is in a quiet location but only a short walk to the centre of Ripon. We always go for three nights and play three different golf courses in the area. The golf courses are also superb.We will be going again next year without doubt. The only possible way you could improve on this property would be a second toilet. Having said that it is never really an issue.
