• "One of the best cottages we've stayed in without a doubt."

  Great for multi generational stays with everything that you could possibly want provided. Very quiet and comfortable living area and bedrooms. Ann, the host, was lovely and very welcoming. Would definitely go back again without a second thought.

• "Our host for the week, Ann was very welcoming, helpful and thoughtful."

  Thank you for your assistance in helping mum. The welcome goodies are probably the most generous I’ve ever received with such a large range of items. The chalet was much more than a chalet. It was very spacious and yet still cosy & warm. It was well stocked with everything you could ever need for a week away. It also had the added benefit of features to help my disabled mum get around. The location of the chalet was ideal for us to be able to get to the coast and visit some great villages, National Trust and English Heritage properties. Thank you for a great week away, I’m already missing the view of the cows in the morning.

• "We had another wonderful stay (our third) at The Chalet."

  The property is ideal for my elderly frail mother and has everything you could need for a self catering holiday. The owner, Ann, is very friendly and helpful and the fresh eggs are always a highlight for us. There is so much to do within an hour’s drive of The Chalet we hope to return for our fourth stay next year.

• "Very much more than a Chalet!"

  Very spacious and comforable. Three good sized bedrooms, one en suite. Well equipped kitchen. Freindly hosts left us a wellcome pack of eggs, biscuits, milk, etc. Thank you Ann for sending my mp3 player on as well.

• "Perfect stay in a very nice property in a special place."

  The peace and quiet was amazing and the trains were not intrusive at all. They just underlined the overall peacefulness of the setting. Ann was a perfect hostess, available when needed, but leaving us in privacy otherwise. The Chalet was very clean and well appointed. Water was always hot, and the heating came on automatically when the temperature fell. We had mostly good weather and amazing sunsets, and the relaxing time you dream of. Fully recommend for anyone in search of peace, and all the beauty of the Dales and Moors is within reach. Thank you very much Ann and family!

• "Absolutely loved the accomodation, location and countryside."

  Ann and her family were absolutely charming , most helpful, informative, and so receptive. We all felt we had met with some long lost friends. There were 6 of us , all adults, and found the accomodation very spacious, with everything we could possibly need, plus some lovely little homely extras. Already, we are searching our calendars, to book our return trip. A great big thankyou to everyone, and a special thankyou to Ann our Host, who was an absolute blessing.

• "This Chalet is a well equipped Holiday Home with comfortable beds, good kitchen and bathroom(s) and lovely hosts."

  It is well appointed for people with mobility issues. We (6) enjoyed our stay there. It may be slightly remote for some people, but we enjoyed the experience and being on a working farm. We hope to return there in the future.

• "Ann our host was welcoming and friendly."

  The chalet was exactly as was described in the bio and more. Extremely clean, comfortable lounge furniture, dressed with a Christmas tree. It has everything you need for a homely holiday:- we had a wonderful quiet Christmas break, mum cooked the dinner in the chalet and had everything to hand. We played board games (sure mum cheats) and was a reminder to enjoy family. The chalet is perfectly situated in beautiful farm land, we had a hooley blowing during the evenings but the chalet was cosy and has a log burner for a truly winter warming feeling. As I have health issues the mobility aids in the shower gave us peace of mind. Ann left us welcome gifts that was so kind.. We visited a few places including the chalk white horse but we really only wanted a quiet reset as a family. We definitely will be returning to the chalet in warmer months so we can take advantage of the garden and to visit the beautiful area.

  And well positioned for visiting all the sights. Ann and the family were very friendly and helpful, and would highly recommend.

• "Anne was very welcoming, friendly and once she was sure we were settled and happy she left us to our privacy with the assurance she was available at any time if there should be a problem."

  The property is styled for the older person perhaps but has every comfort, is well equipped and clean. It would be a boon to those with minor physical issues. There is a railway track close by but this should not put anyone off as it is of no consequence and interfered with our stay not one jot. Important to note that this is a working farm with animals etc. but the cattle make excellent and quiet neighbours! All-in-all a very pleasant week and we will certainly return if we visit the area in future. A big thank you to our hosts!

  We were made to feel very welcome in a clean welcoming chalet . We enjoyed the cows in the field alongside and watching the train . As we drive through the farm we watched the cats/kittens eating and were introduced to one of the dogs . We also had the chance to watch the baby cows being fed with the farmer . We thoroughly enjoyed our stay

• "We have enjoyed many holidays in this area."

  We were not concerned by the proximity of the trains or the cows, but the single track road to the property was not ideal. In my opinion, the property is very old and dated. The owner stated that it had been empty for a number of years, which would explain the condition and smell of damp. The beds were extremely old and one mattress was badly stained. I feel that they all need to be replaced. Personally, I would prefer fewer ornaments and general clutter, which collect dust. Sadly, it was not a good experience.

• "The Chalet was a lovely place to stay."

  Ann was very friendly and helpful and made us feel welcome right from the start of the holiday. The property was clean and well maintained with everything provided that you might need including a very thoughtful welcome basket of goodies. The beds were comfortable and we slept well each night even though there is a railway line nearby. We really enjoyed our first stay on a working farm and intend to stay again in the future. I will recommend the Chalet to friends and family as an ideal base for holidays in North Yorkshire.

• "We had a lovely week at The Chalet."

  The accommodation was excellent - clean, very well furnished and equipped, spacious, with comfortable beds, and perfect for my mum who has mobility difficulties. There is a railway line that runs very close by, and ear plugs were provided to assist, but in truth, we did not use them and we never heard a thing at night - which most of the previous visitors stated as well. Hosts were friendly and available when needed and very helpful. The only thing that I can add as a suggestion would be that a book exchange would be good!

  Since your visit we have included a fan and have also added a book exchange draw in the desk as more have been added. (if you take it you replace it with another). Property Owner

  Probably the best cottage we have ever stayed in, especially in terms of facilities. Literally everything was there. So relaxing. Wonderful log burner.

• "PERFECT. The Chalet was a perfect place for a relaxing holiday."

  Ann and her family have thought to provide everything and more. The chalet was spotlessly clean and well presented (exactly as listed). The chalet was well placed to enjoy the morning sun in the rear garden and the afternoon/evening sun on the front decking. The trains, although close, are not intrusive and the cows provided much amusement during our stay. The chalet is ideally placed to explore the area and we would recommend The Cafe at Whitegates Nursery for excellent food. Thanks once again for a wonderful relaxing holiday. Would definitely recommend

• "We had a lovely stay at The Chalet - the accommodation was extremely clean, well equipped and comfortable and exceeded our expectations - it felt very much like home from home and we were made to feel extremely welcome."

  The welcome pack of goodies was also appreciated. The Chalet is set in a lovely location overlooking farmland with far reaching views, and despite being near to the railway line, the trains are inobtrusive, in fact it was interesting to watch the trains go past. We were there to celebrate a very special birthday with family visiting on the 'BIG' day - Ann was extremely kind and this was very much appreciated by us all. We would highly recommend The Chalet!

• "The Chalet is the best cottage holiday I have experienced."

  They have thought of everything a holiday maker could possibly want or need. I would recommend them to anyone and will definitely be returning later in the year. I was genuinely impressed by the attention to detail. I stayed Christmas week and there was even a lit Christmas tree. The friendliness and helpfulness of the proprietor just made my stay perfect.

• "The family who own and run this property deserve to succeed!"

  Ann welcomed us and gave us a comprehensive tour of the Chalet but was always ready to answer any additional questions. She and Sarah, her daughter, are a good team! They left us an amazing welcome basket with biscuits, eggs, sweets, tea bags, hot chocolate, sugar, coffee, mulled wine, etc. ( that wasn’t everything!) We met Ann’s husband, Dennis, and daughter-in-law Helen and young Edward, Ann’s grandson. All very friendly and happy to engage. My elderly mother and I stayed here during one of the coldest weeks of December. No matter, we were very cosy and didn’t feel the need to venture far. The log burner is very efficient and easy to manage even for an inexperienced townie like myself. The Chalet kitchen is amazingly equipped, above and beyond what most cooks would use. Useful touches like neat labels on the light switches show an attention to detail. And everything was beautifully clean. In most places I stay I usually find myself bleaching everything before use. Not here! Totally comfortable with the standards of hygiene. Some have complained about there not being a dishwasher but for me it’s no big deal to wash up. Just rope in the other occupants, chat, and watch the trains! The views from all windows are so peaceful. Watching the sunrise and sunset on a couple of the days was stunning. One night I downloaded a stargazing app and enjoyed identifying stars and a couple of planets as the sky was so clear. We even enjoyed watching the trains. They didn’t disturb us but they because of the season all of the windows were closed. The farm track is a nice little walk which we did a couple of times. The track itself is well-maintained considering it is a working farm with wagons and farm vehicles constantly using it. There is a passing place at the halfway point so no panic if you meet another vehicle. We didn’t eat out as we were so cosy and I could cook at a slower pace. Northallerton, 7 miles away, has all one needs for food shopping. Nearby is the English Heritage site, Mount Grace Priory and gardens, which is well worth a visit. Further afield are the North York Moors, stunning at any time of the year but especially in the snow! I honestly couldn’t find fault with the Chalet and, hopefully, we will be able to stay again in the near future.

• "Owner and family were very friendly welcoming."

  Property appears to be well-kept and was spotless and toasty. The facilities for elderly/disabled (all on one level) were excellent - my 85 year old mother was well catered for. One final comment, don't be daunted by the proximity of the train line - the trains don't rattle by, they quietly whoosh by (often unnoticed) but they do toot for the crossing (when the train driver remembers!), but NOT overnight.

  Perfect location for day trips out. Ann was very welcoming and helpful on arrival and there was a basket full of goodies left for us including milk and fresh farm eggs.

• "I cannot recommend this property highly enough!"

  The owners Ann and Dennis were perfect hosts. Nothing was too much trouble. Though very friendly and attentive they were in no way intrusive. The welcoming pack was excellent, one of the best we've had! It is a working farm with about 100 cattle but at no time did they pose any problem. The property was SPOTLESSLY clean. If you have a mobility problem the bungalow has a ramp to the front door and grab handles in the showers. For enthusiasts of steam the NYMR at Pickering is about an hour's drive away - the 18 mile track to Whitby takes a leisurely 2 hours and costs £41 per adult. Whilst there fans of Bangers and Cash can take in a visit to Mathewsons garage at Thornton Le Dale just outside Pickering. If you are intending to stay in North Yorkshire this property has to be high on your list of holiday cottages.
