“A delightful location just tucked off The Green in the village of Stillington.”

Diane and Mike have made this cottage comfortable, cosy and welcoming. It has all you could need. Just at present there is no internet of any kind in the cottage (and I don't know if it will be installed later) which felt, initially, like it might be a problem but truly, in the end, it turned into a blessing.

And mobile phone service was excellent throughout the stay (we are on O2). Perfectly located for exploring York, obviously, but also the Howardian Hills (on the edge of which the village sits) and the Yorkshire Moors. We additionally visited Scarborough, Harrogate and Knaresborough and puttered through the Moors to Helmsley, Lealholm and on to Whitby. A perfect, perfect break.

“The owner was very friendly and she had left eggs, milk, tea, coffee and biscuits.”

WiFi would have been a welcome addition.
Mrs Peters August 2019

“The cottage is lovely and very comfortable.”

The village has 2 pubs both very good for food. There is a lovely seating area at the back of the house which is very private and enjoys the sun all day long. The photos on the advert are slightly out of date. The rear of the property looks onto a new building and blocks any view to the field. It did not make any difference to us but the description perhaps should be updated

“Beautiful cottage, clean, tidy and very comfortable.”

Owner friendly and helpful without being intrusive. Would definitely visit again.

“Croft granary is a beautiful property in a pretty village.”

Plenty room for a family of 4 (2 teens) with a large kitchen area and lovely patio area to the rear which isn't in the photos. Comfy beds with plenty storage. Diane and family live next door and welcomed us (tea, coffee,milk and fresh eggs when we arrived!) but left us in peace to enjoy our stay. We caught the heatwave and enjoyed the situe for exploring yorkshire being an hour from the coast and only 30 mins from york which was a 15 min drive to park and ride and a 15 minute bus ride. Eden camp is a highlight, even the teens were impressed and occupied for a good 3 hours! Birmham rocks are a must see too, again the boys were happy climbing and exploring. My only suggestions would be supplying Wi-Fi and a shower in the main bathroom (there is a shower in the master bedroom). We used the cottage as a base to return to after sightseeing so some online down- time would have been welcomed by the kids. Had a fabulous week though and the white bear provided great food and drink at reasonable prices with great gluten free options too. Would highly recommend a stay here, Thanks to Diane and family :)

“Tranquil Yorkshire break”

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.
Mr Bell February 2019

“The Granary was comfortable and cosy.”

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.

“Lovely comfortable cottage situated in a pretty village.”

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
Mr Fitzgerald August 2018

“Everything was fine - very well described so no surprises.”

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.
Mr Appleton June 2018

“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.
Mrs Paul June 2018

“We had a great holiday, the cottage was clean, comfortable, in a great situation with lovely views from the back.”

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.

“excellent location, great hosts and welcome pack”

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!

“A perfect base for York, modern but cosy”

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.

“Very enjoyable”

The property is beautifully restored and maintained, quiet and very warm and comfortable. The owners are very friendly and welcoming. York, Pickering and beautiful countryside are within easy reach.

“Great place to stay”

Very clean, well equipped, friendly owner, nice welcome pack - and all in an extremely useful location for exploring the area - handy for the bus to York, too, giving a break from driving.

“very relaxing”

great property, very modern. very friendly and helpful owners even providing fresh eggs from their chickens and milk for drinks upon arrival. unfortunately no internet access or phone signal. This was the only problem as everything else was fantastic.

“Recent barn/granary conversion”

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.

“Comfort and cleanliness with personal touches.”

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.
