"There was no mention in the property details that the access was on a mile long track which was full of pot holes and very bumpy, bad for suspension of any car."
. We fully appreciated this is a working farm but the skylight windows in the lounge were filthy. The shower cubicle was very worn and the runners had not been cleaned adequately. The cottage was very well equipped, spacious and homely but we had paid appx. £1200 for 3 nights which was considerably more than other similar sized properties we had looked at and had assumed, therefore, this would provide more in terms of comfort. Very disappointing.

"The large Cottage was very very clean and well equipped, well situated so many things nearby."
The best thing about the accommodation was the people who own it, all of them so nice and friendly but never interfering, they work hard on the farm.
You must try the park and ride into York great service and cheaper than parking in the city. Good meal (Sunday Lunch) at the local pub - Superb meal at the White Horse in Church Fenton highly recommended.
Would we return - 100% yes. Thanks for a welcoming and pleasant week.

The cottage is very spacious. We stayed during harvest and it was great to see the farm working with very little noise disturbance. The family were very welcoming while being unobtrusive.

"Fabulous cottage, with a really well thought out layout."
It was clean, warm and cosy with everything we needed for our stay. The little garden is a real sun trap with beautiful views over the farm fields. Ideal for watching the birds and animals or stargazing.
We found the owners friendly and thoughtful, all of which added up to a lovely holiday.

"Our short stay was very comfortable and restful overall."
We thought the description and information about the cottage was accurate and comprehensive, everything was provided for every eventuality. We were impressed with the cleanliness and the anti-virus measures. The farm activities were similar to the ones we are used to in this part of Dorset but for those unfamiliar such things might provided added interest, and bird watching Is good! The only things not up to scratch were the non-working fan and bathroom extractor- we wondered if that was an anti-covid device. Given the unusually hot and humid conditions they would have been useful but not critical to our comfort. We weren’t on holiday but Pines Farm is perfectly placed for all the attractions of West and North Yorkshire for those who are. We would happily recommend this property to anyone.

"The house is beautiful, very spacious."
The surroundings are idyllic and it was fabulous to see the animals. The kitchen is very well equipped with everything you need, plus a double oven.
The only negative we experienced was the double bed. It creaks a lot with the slightest movement and the mattress is very hard with creaking springs.

"2 Pines Farm Cottages is a superb holiday cottage location and I would highly recommend it."
The cottage was immaculate and the space and facilities were first class. The host went way beyond what I was expecting and even provided a Christmas tree and very tasty Christmas cake!
Excellent value for money and my whole family really enjoyed the experience.
We would have no hesitation returning to this cottage.

"Beautiful barn conversion away from anything on the edge of Ulleskelf."
Loads of space and well furnished and equipped. Loved first morning when I opened my curtains to see a beautiful grey bullock gazing back at me from the barn!
Road to access is very bumpy although attempts had been made to fill in potholes. Could do with a sign at the entrance as I thought we were driving into a field!
Only real complaint would be that the beds are rather hard, which made sleeping tricky. Otherwise I would definitely recommend

"Lovely cottage, very spacious and clean."

Road leading to property is very bumpy and unmade so was a bit of a downside, but understand that it is a working farm and to have it improved would be a big job.
Watching the cows from several of the windows was a bit hit with my 2 year old grandson.

"We were there with family, for a Wedding in York, which due to a taxi not arriving and road closures we missed."
The owners of the property were so helpful, told us that there was a train from the next village. They went ahead to get someone to let us through the road closure, and let us follow them across the field. The property itself is spacious, is set in a peaceful location on a working farm. There is plenty of space so so you are not on top of each other. The kitchen is fabulous and a great space for family meals. We also discovered a cupboard with boardgames, a snakes and ladders tournament was a must. The cottage would not suit everyone, but if you like walks and peace, it's perfect. York is close by. FABULOUS HOLIDAY. xx We will be back

Wendy,the owner,came to say "hello" which was rather nice but what delighted us more was the fridge outside the farmhouse stocked with an array of homemade goodies,jam,lemon curd,pickled onions,chutney and of course lovely fresh eggs!

"The cottage is very spacious and met all our needs as a party of six seniors."
The proprietor and her family were very welcoming and helpful and if we had not seen the animals we would not have known it was a working farm. We were concerned when we saw an airfield close by but again we noted nothing that would have caused any problems to users of the cottages. I would have no hesitation in recommending Pine Farm Cottages to anyone, young or elderly parties can easily access the premises and without a doubt we will return again.

"According to the description it mentioned noise from farm and army base/airport, staying there during summer holidays and harvest season we heard one to two days worth of noise and that was a charity event where people were wing walking on light, small private planes."
We could not heard the farm noise at all. Holiday was excellent, our two year old loved the cows and tractors. Myself like the wildlife we saw. All of us enjoyed the beautiful very spacious accommodation and the lovely baked butterfly cakes that greeted us on arrival. In the cottage phone signal was up and down but this was not an issue possibly due to solar panels on the roof as outside it was fine.
