The cottage is a perfect spot for a relaxing break in the North York Moors. Sandra could not have been more friendly or helpful. The health club is a real treat. Very highly recommend

We had a wonderful stay at the Red House Farm. Sandra was incredibly kind and always on hand to help and answer questions. The surroundings were beautiful and thoroughly enjoyed by our family for our daily dog walks. The gym and pool were even better than described and a fantastic addition to our holiday. Our cottage had everything we needed for our stay and it was furnished with such character and with function in mind. We will definitely be back and would strongly recommend.

Red House Farm is a slice of paradise within the N York Moors with its miles of hikes on the doorstep. The Spashetts have created an astonishingly well appointed holiday destination with an amazing gym and pool complex. The Old Sheaf Store we rented was warm, comfortable and extremely well equipped for catering if you didn't want to eat out; the village butcher is well worth trying. Popular destinations are all within 10-15 miles including secluded coastal villages. This is one of the few holiday properties we would return to.
