Used as a base for a 3 day break with my Mum. Beautifully restored building with modern decor but retaining some period features. Located in sleepy little village with a couple of pubs, shop etc within walking distance. Made most welcome by the owners with coffee, milk, biscuits and fresh eggs provided for us on arrival. Easy 15 min drive to the Rawcliffe park and ride to access York centre or about the same distance from Castle Howard, Nunnington Hall etc all well worth visiting. All in all a perfect relaxing break... I would recommend to anyone!

“Very friendly helpful hosts on hand to deal with queries.”

Useful information in cottage. Very convenient for York (15 mins) and park and ride.

There were nice touches like tea, coffee and biscuits provided and the owners went the extra mile by giving my grandson a small present and card for his birthday. Ideal for exploring the coutryside north of York. The bus ride into York takes about 40 mins.

The cottage had everything we needed. We stayed over Christmas and it was lovely and cosy and they put up a lovely Christmas tree for us in the lounge. There is easy access to York and other interesting towns and countryside. Plenty of places to eat and a small shop in the village and Easingwold is very close and has plenty of shops

Overall, a very positive experience but with one or two minor quibbles; there was no WiFi and the connection very helpfully provided by the landlady was not adequate. Also, the two single beds were very narrow. Other than that the landlady Diane was lovely, helpful and hospitable and we would have no hesitation recommending her to others.

“Wifi would have been useful, but very clean and comfortable and very friendly owners.”

Great cottage.

“The Croft Granary was cosy, comfortable and very clean.”

It had everything we needed. A perfect location for York and North Yorkshire Moors. Mike and Diane were excellent hosts. We hope to go back to Croft Granary next year.

The village is beautiful with plenty of places to eat and a well stocked community run village shop and post office. We were really impressed with the lovely welcome pack of milk, tea, coffee, biscuits and fresh eggs from Diane's chickens. The owners Mike and Diane were really friendly but let us enjoy our holiday without being intrusive. Thank you to them both. We would definitely recommend this cottage and will be returning in the future.

Cottage situated in village with pubs, stores and good walks around village. Owners left starter pack with tea, coffee, milk, biscuits and eggs from their chickens, much appreciated. Maybe needs a few more pots and pans if catering for more than 2 people but manageable. We enjoyed our stay and will hopefully return in the future.

Mrs Hoskins, April 2018
“Great cottage ideally situated for North Yorkshire travelling.”

Diane and Mike are wonderful hosts. Highly recommended.

Service from Diane and Mike was excellent and nothing seemed too much trouble. They provided us with eggs and a lovely welcome pack. We had 4 adults in our party and had a large double room and a smaller twin room. Although there was only one shower, it coped very well. Location was excellent for touring around and the White Bear and the Indian restaurant were great for meals. We also cooked several nights and there were plenty of glasses, cutlery and crockery and cooking utensils. We would have liked to have stayed longer!

Croft Granary is a perfect base for exploring York and the surrounding areas. The house has all the facilities you need in a cosy atmosphere. More than enough room for 4. It's set in an idyllic village with easy access to the house, and parking for more than 1 car. The owners are polite and friendly, making sure you have everything you need, but leave you to enjoy your holiday in peace. It's also the most space and best facilities we've had for such a reasonable price. There's also ten-pin bowling, a cinema, crazy golf and a large supermarket in close proximity. Lovely to be surrounded by sheep and chickens, the ideal countryside experience.

A recently converted granary type home in a very good position beside the village green with easy access and private parking beside the cottage. The owners live beside the cottage and are most pleasant and helpful. Accommodation was very clean and well presented, plus had excellent heating should the weather be cold.It had all one could wish for, plus a fenced outside patio area with water feature ( safe for children) with long views to distant hills. The village is well kept and interesting with a wide range of old buildings , plus some good places to eat out and a small village shop . There are plenty of places to visit only a short drive away ; York Park and Ride is about 20 minutes drive and is an easy way to get to the centre areas of York. The neighbour with the Steam Engines was very amicable and kindly showed me his collection of vehicles one evening which I found most interesting. We had no noise problems what so ever. We would love to return another year as one week was not enough.

Accurate directions took us straight to our holiday accommodation. The cottage has been recently renovated and tastefully decorated, was spotlessly clean and contained everything we needed. Tea, coffee and milk were provided, so that we could make ourselves a hot drink on arrival. The owners were helpful and friendly and kindly supplied us with fresh eggs throughout the week. The location was perfect for visiting stately homes and other buildings of interest, as well as being within easy reach of the North York moors, the Yorkshire Dales and the City of York.
