Cottages With Hot Tubs In Yorkshire

What our customers say about their holidays

  My sister and I, along with our husbands and 6 various grown-up offspring, decided to liven up Christmas this year and spend the week away together.

  We chose Copmanthorpe Hall, which had only recently been refurbished and made available to the public, as it seemed to fit all our criteria: in the countryside (part of a working farm) but close to an interesting city (York) and with lots of spacious and well equipped accommodation. We were all therefore absolutely delighted when we arrived to find that it far exceeded our expectations! The owners, Rob and Chris, were there to meet us and couldn't have been more helpful. The house was beautifully decorated for Christmas with a tree, lights and various other festive touches which immediately made us feel at home and the whole place was as warm as toast with underfloor heating downstairs and oil-fired radiators in every room. On the website the rooms had looked large and indeed they were - all 6 bedrooms, each with their own ensuite, were spacious and tastefully furnished. The kitchen was very well fitted out with all the equipment one needed to cook a Christmas dinner for 10 - including two large ovens, a huge fridge and freezer and a great dining table which comfortably seated us all. The sitting room, with its beautiful old beams and views of the garden, was large and welcoming with generous seating for everyone and an enormous TV screen which made Christmas film watching a real treat! The city of York is less than 5 miles away and Askham Bar Park and Ride (3 miles) proved an easy solution to any potential parking problems. Copmanthorpe Hall has been thoughtfully and tastefully refurbished to a very high standard and we have no hesitation in highly recommending it - and hope to visit again ourselves!

  Beautiful home, wonderful sized bedrooms and a great feature that they are all en-suite.

  The owners are very friendly. However, the listing does not state you will be sharing a borderline with the owners property, this needs to be highlighted better, I appreciate it stated working farm, by the back gardens are connected by a 4 foot wall so privacy is very lacking. Our issue with the cleanliness was simply the amount of spiders/cobwebs and debris we came across, the so fats in the main lounge had literally bits of rubbish, balloons and glitter down the cracks (in fairness we didn’t notice this till day 5) however when we couldn’t get access to the porch because of a missing key it was highlighted to Rob by my dad about the cobwebs and spiders (again being on a farm there was of course expectations for this but it seemed a lot) Rob said he would bring it up with cleaning team. We also had issue with flies, but by day 3 that was resolved and again we spoke to Chris about this and she provided materials to help eliminate the issue. So my overall view point is this: The house is stunning, well thought out, it has everything you could need, right down to a pizza cutter. The rooms and spaces are wonderful, the beds are comfy there is plenty of storage space for your stay in each room and the grounds are gorgeous. I’m simply putting the 2 not to so favourable points down to the cleaning company as I think they are not being as through as they should be which in turn created the issues mentioned above. Would we go back, absolutely we did have a wonderful week.

  This property was perfect for our break away.

  I was so pleased when we arrived as from the photographs I thought some of the rooms looked a little tired/ dated but this was not the case at all, I was pleasantly surprised that is was so fresh and clean and much better than I had expected. Great modern kitchen facilities and large open plan dining/living room space for spending time catching up with friends until the early hours. The house was warm and clean with spectacular views in a superb location with ample parking. The hot tub is huge and the wind shield worked well to shelter us from the January weather! The only suggested I could make was that the extra fold out bed in the double room was not so comfy but we didn't need to use it in the end as we were all happy to share the doubles which were comfy. (The hoover could be replaced as we struggled to do a great job of hoovering on departure as it isn't very powerful). We arrived to an unexpected welcome package of lovely drinks and treats which was a great bonus. Communication was good. Fantastic time in a wonderful place I would highly recommend and would definitely re book if I have the opportunity of an escape again. (oh one thing for Sykes is I felt you could wait to email about departure stuff until the last day as I wasn't ready to think about leaving in the middle of my stay as I was having such a wonderful time

  Wow what can I say, we had a family holiday, 10 of us at Copmanthorpe Hall for a week.

  The house is beautiful inside and out. On 3 sides there are acres of fields and cows. The house backs on to the owners property but you only see that when you are washing up or putting the bins out so totally private but close enough if you have an issue. It is a working farm but we weren't disturbed at all by any work and it didn't smell. The children were absolutely mesmerised watching the hay being baled and wrapped one day and I think they'd like to adopt Buddy and Shadow the farm dogs. Rob and Christine have a wonderful place, just the right mix of features kept mixed with modern convenience. Spacious, pleasantly decorated and everything you need whether you're cooking yourself or not. Only a mile and half to the village with pub, shops etc. 4 miles from York centre and close to Monks Cross and Designer outlet for those wanting to shop. A perfect base for exploring Yorkshire or just relaxing and getting away from it all. Amazing enclosed garden for children to play and a hot tub. Wifi, TV's in every room so easy to get away from each other and have some me time too. Would highly recommend for a family break or group booking, we'll be sure to be back for both when restrictions allow. Thank you so much for a beautiful holiday, just what the doctor ordered feeling totally relaxed!

  This is the 3rd time I have visited Cringles House and as before, it was fantabulous!

  !! I could have put met expectations in the review but that's only because I know what high standards the owners have and that is evident in the presentation of Cringles House and what it offers. The surroundings are gorgeous and as everyone puts, the hot tub is amazing!! It is the only 10 person hot tub I have ever found and it is just lovely. The layout of the house means you are not on top of one another, considering there's 10 people, and if you want a bit of alone time, it's not an issue. The communication with the owners, with Sykes and with the folks in charge of housekeeping and the hot tub is excellent, nothing being too much trouble. Unfortunately, on our weekend, we had an unwanted visitor...Storm Dennis!!!! But, that being said, we still managed to get in the hot tub, it was hilarious because a few of us had our walking hats on, you can imagine what a memory that made. lol The only reason I wouldn't want to put a good review on is because, I want to keep it for myself, but you know what they say "sharing is caring" and how could I deprive others from experiencing such a fantastic time. Can't wait for my next visit (already in the planning), try it, I will guarantee it will not disappoint.
