The location is in a very quiet valley with lots to do in the area, and the outside space was great. The kitchen and dining room were clean and as expected. However, the water doesn't drain properly through the filter coffee machine. A pod coffee machine was also provided, although this was not clear prior to arrival, and no pods were provided. The cottage is supposed to sleep 6 people, but there was insufficient crockery, for example, only 5 mugs. This meant the dish washer had to be put on regularly, but there were only a couple of dishwasher tablets. There were a lot of dead flies in the upstairs double bedroom and landing and a few downstairs - clearly hadn't been cleaned properly recently. The main issue was that the downstairs bathroom was not fit for purpose and has not been cleaned / maintained adequately. The shower temperature could not be fully adjusted (broken dial) and the drains were so blocked that the flow was too slow to have a shower - it had to be turned off for it to drain away before a shower could be resumed or it would have overflowed. The cottage is described as luxury. It has great potential, but it felt adequate and in need of tlc / maintenance at best.

We found Manor House Farm to be a lovely base for our holiday in the North Yorkshire Moors. The cottage, in a beautiful setting (if not a little remote), was extremely quiet, clean and comfortable and almost everything you would need (although only 3 tumblers seemed strange). An initial problem with the smart TV was resolved promptly. We would happily return.
