  • "We had a brilliant time in Derwent house farm."

    When we pulled up we thought it looked small, but after unpacking we realised we had everything we needed, the well kept secure paddock was a bonus for our dog. The barn was really clean and comfortable and in a good area to visit Yorkshire. There was sky tv but no WiFi which we thought was great to relax and unwind. Cooking facilities were fine with table top oven and hot plates, we cooked most days and found them easy to use. We will definitely return as we loved it..

It was the perfect place to relax and unwind with our dog who really enjoyed the secure paddock and the peacefulness as I’m always training him in busy places, so I think he needed it just as much as we did. We did however have some time at the beach and just felt like we were abroad. We ended up sitting in the sun enjoying the sounds of wildlife in the paddock and couldn’t be more relaxed if we tried!

The description clearly describes the facilities at the cottage and there is also a separate hob.If you had brought the issues to my attention I could have rectified this for you.This is is the first time this has happened and someone has been in to check this out and it is partly due to the warm weather followed by rain and the countryside location.The issue has now been resolved by a qualified expert in this field.

Instruction manuals were in place for all the kitchen equipment. Fantastic location for trips out to the moors or the coast, although, at night, the entrance from the A170 Pickering - Malton road took some finding - at first. Plenty of wildlife (hares, lapwings) and truly dark skies for star gazing. Kate was on hand if we needed anything (which we didn't) but otherwise we were left to enjoy our stay in complete peace.

  • "We were generally happy with our stay at Derwent House Farm."

    A few changes would make the cottage a better prospect. 1) The information describes the cottage as having a well equipeed kitchen, but the cottage does not have a proper oven/hob/grill. The compact worktop oven in the cottage is not ideal. 2) The oil fired heater, which is sited under the worktop, is massively over-powered for the needs of the cottage. We were almost too warm, despite the cool weather, even though we turned the thermostat right down. Running the hot tap or taking a shower generated a lot of heat directly from the oil burner itself. The burner would be far better situated outside the cottage, perhaps in a small lean-to. This would also cut down the noise generated by the burner, which could easily heat a barn. 3) A small but important point, the fridge, (which looked very new), makes a very annoying noise, a pure tone, which is impossible to escape and became nauseating after a time. I have no sulution to offer in this case.

    Thank you for your feedback. We are happy that you enjoyed your stay at Derwent House Farm. We have taken your comments on board. Previous guests have not mentioned the cooking facilities. There is adequate cooking facilities in the property including a grill. We were told to put that type of boiler in the property. This meets building regulations for an old barn. Unfortunately there is little we can do when it comes to the noise but it usually happened when it try's to cool down if not stocked. Thank you and we hope to welcome you back soon. Property Owner

The paddock at the rear for the dog is great and our Labrador loved bounding round exploring! Yes, it only has a mini oven and two hobs, but that was plenty for us! Looking forward to returning in future!

  • "Comfortable cottage in a scenic and peaceful location."

    Kate was very helpful and concerned that we had everything we needed. Adjoining paddock ideal to exercise our dog. Couldn't ask for anything more for a relaxing holiday.

  • "Kate is a lovely host and made us very welcome."

    The cottage was clean, well kept and we were well provided for. Plenty of towels, tea and coffee were an added welcome extra too. The cottage is situated in an ideal place; it is on the top of a hill; providing a quiet and peaceful break, with stunning landscape to view from the windows and lovely walks. Would definitely book again. :)

    Thankyou for taking the time to review Derwent House. The cottage is not on a hill but 3.5 miles down a lane off a main road which gives it a really peaceful location. Kind regards, Property Owner

    A comfortable retreat in close proximity to Malton and Pickering, Derwent House is ideally located to explore many interesting towns and villages. The property has excellent facilities including a large shower and a very comfortable bed. The paddock was also excellent for exercising our dog. The owners were friendly, welcoming and informative. We came home (reluctantly) after a wonderful break and plan to return soon. Thank you Kate x

    The cottage is warm and cosy with everything you need for a “get away from it all” break. Beautifully clean, lovely big shower and a very comfortable bed. The paddock was fantastic for my pup, she could not wait to get out there each morning! Kate was so welcoming and friendly and could not have done any more for us. Would definitely recommend and we will be back as soon as we can.

    The bed is very uncomfortable so uncomfortable you couldn’t sleep all night on it disappointed with the cooker only one source been without a lid no I will cooking facilities to cope with television is rubbish sitting looking out the window to a terrible black building book to be a working farm I would never returned to it I wouldn’t very comfortable with it looking at the advert the cottage looks very nice

    Thank you for your feedback. I am sorry you did not find the bed comfortable, the bed and mattress topper were both bought new in April and this is the first time any one has mentioned they did not find it comfortable. We cannot do anything about the Shed however the property has wonderful views on 3 sides. It is advised in the description that the television is freeview and the property has a mini oven. We often receive 100% feedback and I am sorry that the property fell short of your expectation. Kind regards Property Owner

    The location was perfect and had privacy but help near by if we needed it. The adjacent paddock was ideal for peaceful sit, especially in the evening - we could only hear bird song. Next time we will bring the dog! The house worked well for my wife as she has limited mobility, but could maybe have a grab rail in the shower. A couple of extras such as an iron/ironing board, chair in the bedroom, some hooks to hang coats etc and a little more crockery/glasses would make the holiday home perfect. Once again the owner was more than willing to hear any suggetions. We really do look forward to returning to such a lovely part of the world and such a warm welcome.

  • "We required a thorough rest and escape from our home renovations."

    The cottage holiday certainly allowed us peace and quiet in a relaxed farm environment with our dog. The facilities were excellent ... all we required. The location perfect ... short drives to pubs, country towns, places of interest and the coast. The hosts were helpful and there to assist when required. This probably was our most relaxing holiday in memory and would highly recommend a stay! We certainly will be considering re-booking. The initial choice of location and booking was relatively easy and we gained reminders and support from Sykes throughout the process. We were impressed!

    It is close to Malton and Pickering too. We loved the location and the cottage and the owners were really helpful and polite. The cottage is so peaceful, and we had a fantastic restful time.

A heart-warming retreat tucked away within a rural setting on the outskirts of Malton, is the endearing Derwent House Farm.

Perfect for a couple looking to explore the area which lies within close reach to the rugged North York Moors National Park and the dramatic coastline, with the popular seaside resort of Scarborough close by.

Be welcomed by the bright interior which houses charming exposed beams and elegant furnishing to offer a warming base to come back to each evening.

The well-appointed kitchen offers the necessities to prepare a hearty evening meal before you sink into the armchairs which rest in front of a Freeview TV.

As the evening draws to a close, look forward to drifting off to sleep within the double bedroom which comes with an en-suite, with walk-in shower, basin and WC.

Spend a moment or two on the patio area, where you can enjoy your morning coffee whilst your canine companions stretch their legs in the private enclosed paddock before your day’s adventure.

If you can tear yourself away from this delightful spot, you will find a welcoming pub within 4 miles offering a delicious dining menu, while a selection of shops can be found within the centre of Malton.

Brush up on the local history by visiting the Eden Camp Modern History Museum, Kirkham Priory and Castle Howard, each situated within close reach.

To enjoy the surrounding scenery further, spend time within the North York Moors National Park where you can explore miles of moorland, ancient abbeys and scenery that will take your breath away.
