All the properties feature cosy underfloor heating as well as wood burners - ideal for those cooler evenings. Especially suitable for families with young children, the cottages have been individually decorated - each having been carefully designed. Outside, there are shared one-acre landscaped grounds to enjoy, with seating and a charcoal barbecue outside each cottage, which makes a perfect place for a summer picnic.
Ideal for families, as children and adults alike can enjoy farm life, gathering eggs for breakfast and feeding the friendly horse, sheep, goats and guinea pigs on the children’s farm. For older children there is shared use of a games room with a full-size snooker table and table tennis, whilst for the younger ones, a large sand pit, pedal tractors, trailers and diggers and various outdoor games are available.

Brigham village is noted in the Domesday Book and lies as a sleepy hamlet, yet just a few miles distant is the historical market town of Driffield. Delightful York (30 miles) is always a pleasure to visit, with plenty to do and see for the whole family. The magnificent minster dominates the city, which is full of quaint shops, restaurants and pubs. Together with the Jorvik Viking Centre and the National Railway Museum, this historic city makes for an entertaining day out.
For lovers of the outdoors, there are numerous walks for all standards including gentle strolls along the banks of the canal, coastal walks or taking in the magnificent scenery of the Yorkshire Wolds. The beaches of Bridlington, Scarborough and Filey are easily accessible, and Hornsea with its ‘Freeport Shopping Centre’ is also well worth a visit.

Even has Washing machine gel and dishwasher tablets!The cottage itself is stunning with large, traditional rooms with open beams and farm doors, it is extremely comfortable and clean.It is in a quiet area so abit of distance to a local shop by car but you don't mind travelling when you wake up to the beautiful countryside.At night you can hear the owls, in the morning you can hear the chickens.Our children loved feeding the animals and the vast amount of toys, games and equipment supplied.We had two weeks at this holiday home, the owners are very welcoming, nothing is too much to ask.We will return, would highly recommend
