Our party of five aged 13-82 had a great time at the Hayloft. It's a lovely property, well-appointed and with plenty of room. My elderly mother has reduced mobility, and loved her bedroom and the downstairs shower room. The shower is great! There is everything you could possibly want and more at nearby retail parks, and York is a short drive away. The hot tubs were a luxurious bonus and we also enjoyed the games room and badminton. The wifi signal struggled at times but overall it was a memorable stay and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it, lovely surrounds and a very peaceful stay.

We had a great stay. Hayloft had everything we needed. Good location to York with Park and Ride near by. Our boys enjoyed the games room and hot tub. Would recommend and would use again if visiting the area. Only suggestion would be another shower over bath upstairs.
