  The was lots of room for all twelve of us. Amenities in the property were excellent. The hot tub was a bonus with plenty of towels provided, lots of parking. Lovely big table for all to eat at and the small table seating four was perfect for the four children. The lounge was comfortable and perfect for relaxing in the evening.The area was excellent for getting about to see the attractions. We all had a lovely family holiday

  Thank you for your lovely feedback and so pleased you all had a lovely time at Old Station Farm! Heather Property Owner

• "It says on the listing that the fridge freezer has an ice dispenser, maybe that needs amending."

  The chandelier in the lounge didn't work but the side lights do. The house particularly the kitchen is very well equipped. The house is very clean and comfortable, the beds particularly comfortable. Hot tub area is a bonus for chilling in the evenings. It is a lovely house, not over looked. Malton close by, lovely market on a Saturday. Morrisons supermarket close by for a big shop. We were a party of 13 people from 65 years down to 3 years and we all had a lovely time. There is no downstairs toilet if that would be a problem with some people.

  Thank you for your feed back. The kitchen has been re configured and we had to put a different fridge freezer in its place. We thought it had been updated as the photos have been. The chandelier does work but the light switch is in the hall way. Pleased you had a lovely time. Thank you Heather Property Owner

• "We had a fabulous time at Old Station Farm!"

  15 of us visited for a long weekend and we such a good time. Despite there being 15 of us, there was plenty of space in the house and we loved all sitting in the dining area chatting! The hot tub was an added bonus! The location is great, Malton was lovely and I’d highly recommend El Gringos for food- excellent value and extremely generous portions! The Smithy Arms in Amotherby was also a lovely local. Heather was an extremely lovely host who was very accommodating. We’re extremely grateful for her letting us stay.

  Thank you for your lovely feedback I am so pleased you had a lovely time! Property Owner

• "We had an enjoyable stay in this comfortable house, off road parking for several cars was helpful."

  The house was well equipped for self catering for a large number of people. The garden/furniture needed a little attention, not that we had the weather for this. The dining room with its magnificent table made eating all together so easy and fun. The hot tub was a great asset and enjoyed. A downstairs shower/ toilet would be a good addition. There were plenty of extras i.e. washing up liquid, cleaning materials , dish cloths tea towels etc, which was an excellent bonus. The welcome pack was much appreciated and enjoyed.

• "Lovely old house, well equipped and spacious."

  Nice seating area and one of the party even used the hot tub. We used the house as a base to visit local attractions including Castle Howard and it worked really well. Helpful host. We’d definitely consider staying again if we were holidaying in that area.

  So pleased you had a lovely time at Old Station Farm and that you may consider returning. Thank you! Property Owner

• "It’s a beautiful house, lots of character and space."

  Hot tub and courtyard is a lovely area. We were a party of 12 and there was plenty of seating throughout. The kitchen has everything you need and my only little issue was the space when cooking for 12 and people were in and out! Location is great for Malton which is lovely and bonus of a rail connection to York and Scarborough. Lovely touch of some fizzy and chocs left! Plenty of pots, plates, glasses and towels in the house. Ideal house for celebration events!

  Thank you for leaving a lovely feedback on Old Station Farm and so pleased you enjoyed the hot tub area! You were also blessed with the lovely weather that week! Kind regards Heather Property Owner

• "We hired this property for a family get together in October."

  Our party consisted of eight adults, six children and a dog. The accommodation was very comfortable and spacious and well equipped, luxurious actually. The owners had obviously gone to a lot of trouble to make the house attractive and welcoming. Plenty of lovely places to visit in the area too. Highly recommended.

• "Overall a great place to stay, lots of places to visit."

  The house itself would benefit a downstairs toilet, especially for the older generation.

• "Old Station Farm is a spacious period property in beautiful surroundings that was well-suited to our family holday for 7 adults and 5 young children."

  The dining room is huge and the lounge has adequate comfortable seating. The family bathroom is better suited as an en-suite to one of the twin rooms which is how we used it but this left the children having to use the en-suites in their parents' rooms. The addition of a downstairs cloakroom would have made things easier, as would some more attention to detailed maintenance - we noticed doors that would not shut properly and taps that were very stiff to turn on and off. Outside there was adequate off-street parking for 5 cars. We made use of the BBQ and the garden was a useful play area for the children but again would benefit from some improved maintenance. All in all a very enjoyable stay but with a little effort could have been made even better.

• "This house house was lovely & clean and had everything you need as a family self catering."

  Large gated driveway that can hold a lot of vehicles. The only improvement I can think of are that a stair gate to prevent dogs going upstairs (they are not allowed) would have been handy & the property would benefit from the installation of a downstairs toilet for more elderly guests!

• "House listed as a house that sleeps 15 people across 6 bedrooms."

  Half the house downstairs is closed off via a locked door. Our 4 guets who stayed for 8 nights (had to book the Thursday as an Extra £200 as Sykes/owners not set parameters online. No downstairs toilet for a 15 person house is unusual, what is completely unacceptable is there is no shared or family bathroom. 2 bedrooms have no bathroom or toilet room. Where are we supposed to urinate when staying in those rooms? Full refund request pls. Can't wait to get back home. Not expecting a reply, presume covid19 will be to blame as usual, however hopeful as ever. Many thanks, Tristan

  Thank you for your feedback regarding Old Station Farm. We are sorry that you felt that half the house downstairs was closed off, the only areas that have been locked away is a sitting room and the back kitchen which are being used for storage. This has never been available for guests to use in the 8 years the property has been let, which is why it's not included in the description. The family bathroom is at the top of the stairs, if you had issues finding this we would have been able to help if you had contacted us during your stay. Once again, we appreciate you leaving your feedback, however, we would preferred you to contact us at the time so we can resolve these issues for you. Property Owner

• "Very friendy housekeepers with prompt and helpful responses."

  This ensured the stay at the house went smoothly and without any worries. Only one incident occurred during the week regarding a plumbing issue and Heather and Kevin couldn't have been more supportive and quick to deal with the issue. Everything else is as accurately shown on the website and the location really is a great base for so many local attractions.

• "Not having a downstairs toilet a big disadvantage and not v good for the elderly - I was unable to turn the shower on or off in the walk in shower - again not very good for the elderly with or without poor wrist strength - helps to know in advance It was well equipped and comfortable."

  Another oven or a double would have been helpful for so many people. Scrampston Gardens far superior to Castle Howard which are poor and expensive. The area is lovely and so many places to see - enjoyed our stay despite the difficulties

  Many thanks for your feedback. The property does not advertise a downstairs toilet and we have had no previous complaints regarding the shower but we will have it checked on the next changeover. The property has a double oven which guests fine more than adequate and there is an Aga which is switched off in July and August as it is too hot at that time of year. Property Owner

• "Great place for a family get together."

  Aga kept the place warm and great for cooking breakfast on. Don’t think there was anything we needed that we couldn’t find. Would have preferred cubicle showers to roll top baths but can’t think of anything else that would have improved the stay. Smithy Arms great place for food and drink.

• "We booked Old Station Farm for my partner's 60th birthday celebration."

  It was ideal for our party of a dozen. The cottage is very well-equipped, particularly the kitchen. It is spacious and comfortable, with the dining room an especially good social space. The Aga was excellent for cooking breakfasts for the whole party and keeping everything warm in one of the ovens so we could all eat together. There was always enough crockery, cutlery and glasses for everyone, and the dishwasher is very efficient. The location is excellent, with Malton and Pickering very close by, and York and Scarborough not much further away. Castle Howard is just minutes away, but we didn't have time to go there on this occasion. I've been before, though, and would recommend it if you have a day to spend taking in the lovely grounds, and inside the house if you must - I'm not much of a one for looking at other people's old furnishings and china and preferred the outdoor part. The house is a beautiful building, though, and it's obvious why it has featured in TV productions. The local Cantonese restaurant is just a very short walk away and its food is excellent, providing eat-in or takeaway facilities. We placed our large order a few hours ahead because it was such a big order and it was ready right on time. The staff were lovely. For parties who don't want to have to cook, there are plenty of other nice-looking eating places just a short drive away. On our visit, the weather was very wet and windy, which meant we couldn't take advantage of the lovely garden and outdoor seating, though I suppose we could have done had we put on the weatherproof clothes we'd all brought. Perhaps we've just got soft now that we're older :-) Next time, though. We felt at home immediately in the cottage and would thoroughly recommend it, even for people younger than we are. It was a thoroughly successful stay.

• "We were a large family group (14) celebrating my 50th birthday."

  The house was fabulous. 6 beautiful, large bedrooms all very comfortable. The whole house was tasteful and very well equipped. Large communal areas for us all to sit together inside and out. Beautiful garden. Space for all 6 of our cars with room left over. Close to Malton and Flamingo Land (we visited both). Owner was a call/text away and very helpful. Complimentary tea/coffee and biscuits on our arrival and a big box of chocolates. Would highly recommend. And if you have little ones it is big, closed in and safe for them to run around and let off steam outside. Plenty of grass and bushes and trees for them to play and run around. Fantastic house for playing hide and seek. It is a holiday I will remember for a long time and the house. Absolutely gorgeous.

  It is well located for visiting the coast or the North Yorkshire moors, with lots to do. York is close by & can be reached by train from Malton to save taking the car.
