  • "We had a fabulous stay in this beautiful well equipped & warm cottage."

    Debra & Mark were so helpful & we loved walking around the farm & doing the various walks from the door...which is always a bonus. Great welcome pack too with fresh eggs, milk & biscuits plus treats for the dog. Highly recommend a stay here it's a really good base for seeing Scarborough, Pickering & villages. The forge inn is friendly & serves great beer! We will be back I'm sure!

  • "Lovely property, quiet and warm."

    Good welcome pack including dog treats. Owners very helpful. Great place for a base for a walking holiday, short driving distances from Scarborough and other seaside places with good road access and walks near the farm. Great views from the windows with everything being on the first floor. Would go again.

  • "A fabulous holiday home , spotlessly clean , warm and comfortable with everything you could need ."

    It’s on a working farm that is unbelievably clean and quiet . We were made very welcome by our hosts and their family, along with a very generous welcome pack which included dog treats too . The Granary Loft is ideally situated to visit Scarborough, Whitby , Filey and others, while offering a totally peaceful “hideaway” . We will be coming back here for a third time as soon as we are able , and highly recommend to anyone wanting a relaxing break but with plenty of places to visit nearby .

    Thank you for this we have loved having you to stay and look forward to next time. From Debra & Mark (and kids and dogs!) x Property Owner

    It is a wonderful example of a farm grain loft conversion with car port and electric car charger, downstairs utility room and amazing facilities upstairs. Wonderful shower, constant (very!) hot water, fully equipped kitchen and very comfortable double bedroom. Open views across farmland in N Yorkshire national Park. Very tidy and exremely efficient working farm. So impressed, thank you.

    Perfect place to take your dog. Beautiful surrounding area with lots of lovely walks. The loft was so clean no dog smells. They’ve thought of everything to make your stay comfortable. I always take my own cleaning products, condiments, tea coffee etc. didn’t need them everything was there. It was like home from home. It’s warm and cosy, we slept really well. Nice to get up to the cows mooing and the lovely wildlife. The down stairs area is such a bonus to clean your dogs off and leave foot wear and coats. Also a torch for night walks. There’s also a lovely dog friendly pub in the village the Forge, good food and you can take it away too. We left Easter Sunday and with the clocks going forward asked if we could maybe check out at 11. It wasn’t a problem with no one staying till Monday, the owners said we could leave anytime. Also the welcome pack is a nice touch the fresh eggs were delicious also lovely flowers. Thank you a lovely stay

  • "What a lovely place to stay and explore the sites around this part of Yorkshire."

    The owners have done a fantastic job on making sure you have everything you need for your stay. They are friendly and very welcoming and will call in to have a chat with you to make sure everything is ok. The photos do not do it justice. The bed is big and very comfortable we had a fantastic nights sleep after our days out. It is a working farm so expect some noise and activity in a morning. For us this was not a problem and having the cattle letting you know they wanted their breakfast was rather amusing (7.30am) so no alarm clock was needed as we like to get up and get about our day. I do recommend the Ye Olde Forge Valley Inn for a bite to eat. It's dog friendly, staff are very friendly and the food was very good value for money (good portion sizes too) I would also say pay a visit to Rievaulx Abby, Hemsely Castle, Whitby Abby (and do the 199 steps) are all worth a visit. We would love to come back and stay again possibly for longer and at a different time of year.

  • "We've recently returned from a very relaxing stay in The Granary Loft."

    It is a lovely property and very spacious, we were a party of 2 with 2 dogs. When you enter the Loft, you are straight into a large boot room, which is a great area for drying off the dogs after a walk and leaving our boots and coats. It also contains the washing machine, with the dryer just outside the door in the carport, again which is very useful. The Loft was so cosy, in fact we had to turn the temperature down to suit us, but this was easy to do using the thermostat. There is everything you need in the kitchen, with a big fridge freezer making a change to the usually small ones in other cottages. The bed is the most comfortable i've ever slept on, I called it the magical mattress! The dogs loved their walks around the farm, there are a lot of fields to walk around, the road is quiet to walk down and there is a farm road behind the cottage that takes you on a circular walk. There are also numerous other walks from the door we didn't have time to do. We visited Filey beach as we love it there, but be careful of the tide times. We also visited Filey Country Park. But other than that we didn't leave the farm grounds as it was so nice to be able to potter around there. The owners are very nice, thank you for the welcome basket for us and the dogs, and are around if you need anything, but otherwise leave you to enjoy your stay. We will definitely be back if we visit the area again and wouldn't hesitate to recommend is to family and friends.
