The children loved looking around the farm and especially enjoyed the trampoline! The cottage was perfect for the nine of us. It was very well equipped with everything we could want. Thank you Gary and Jeanie for the wonderful freshly baked bread a lovely surprise as we arrived. You made all the family feel very welcome. We intend on returning in the near future.

The facilities were superb, and it's location is ideal for getting to many of Yorkshire's tourist attractions in relatively short times. We will definitely be returning, and looking forward to the Freshly baked bread that was awaiting us this time.

Plenty of room for the 8 of us. Very child friendly with stairgates, fire surround, high chair and cot. Immaculately clean and very, very well equipped we had everything we needed throughout our stay. Would love to return. Thank you
