This along with the monotone grey decor in the lounge, makes for very dull days when the weather is too bad to venture out ( Agree no- one can do anything about that!) It needs stronger artificial lighting, an injection of colour to make it look less like a dentistsâ waiting room and the eyesore of the redundant fireplace needs a bright fire screen to cover it. There are no views from the property itself only from the grounds of the main hall. The ivy covering the outside needs cutting back, as it overhangs the front bedroom window and encroaches in the main doorway. Facilities good except the kitchen needs more cutlery - with 4 people staying, it is possible to run out during one meal. The surrounding area is a joy when the weather is good - Stokesley is a lovely town, and views from the Cleveland Hills are spectacular on a clear day.

The immaculately maintained grounds and house made for a very enjoyable stay for our family. Owners couldn't be more friendly and helpful. We are looking forward to staying again very soon!

It is a shame that it has been fitted out with rather cheap modern furniture - particularly in the bedrooms (flat pack items and plastic mirrors). The living room furniture is all vinyl covered and not very comfortable. There are no ornaments and very few pictures so it doesn't feel very homely. Luckily it wasn't too warm when we were there as there is a strange house rule that says you aren't allowed to open any of the rear windows and the windows in the larger bedroom at the front were stuck fast with paint. The only way of letting in any fresh air is to leave the front door open - not very practical at night! The kitchen is quite well equipped but if there were four people staying then a bit more crockery and cutlery would be useful (it only has 6 of everything). It is a good location for the NY Moors and Stokesley is a lovely market town with an excellent selection of small food shops. The beds were comfortable and the house is very spacious but it could be so much better with more appropriate furnishings.
