• "The Milking Parlour is a hidden gem that really cant be missed."

  It was extremely clean and comfortable, with a lovely bathroom and bath and comfortable beds. Set in wonderful surroundings it is both in the country and very close to York, a short drive away is the park and ride, designer outlets, shops, and restaurants. I received a detailed text message on how to find it and where to park, and when I arrived a lovely touch was a pint of milk in the fridge and some biscuits on the side. I highly recommend this property to anyone visiting York and would love to return

• "This is a lovely holiday home."

  Very Clean and comfortable with everything you need available. The site is very quiet and within easy reach of York especially using the Park and Ride at the Designer Outlet just up the road which is very good value for money especially using our bus passes. The Hole in the Wall pub in High Petergate York, serves lovely food and good value for money with a good Sunday Roast. Wheldrake woods attached to the golf course makes a good walk. If coming back to York we would always stay here again if possible.

• "We had a very comfortable stay in the Milking Parlour."

  It was extremely clean, tidy and well equipped. We really enjoyed watching the birds on the feeding station. We would value a King size bed when the bed needs replacing and some more information regarding nearby restaurants and things to do.

• "Fantastic week in a lovely cottage."

  The pictures of the cottage doesn’t give it credit it’s bright spacious and very clean. The only thing for me personally was the bed a standard bed a little too small for me but as I said that’s my thing my wife slept like a log so one out of two isn’t bad. We had a Sunday lunch at the club house, home made and very enjoyable. My thanks to Melissa, all this lovely young lady wants us for you to be happy and enjoy your stay. We certainly did. Would I recommend the Milking Parlour. 100% yes.

  Mellisa and everybody round her nothing was to much trouble. The LEMON DRIZZLE cake that was left for us such a nice touch and really appreciated.We booked a game of GOLF and received a discount on the round the course even nearly into winter was first class. We booke a SUNDAY ROAST and had the LAMB and without doubt it was the BEST SUNDAY ROAST I have had anywhere. This is not a criticism when you book for a week like we did you can’t remember everything.If there had been SALT. PEPPER and VINEGAR it would have been nice. But hey ho if that’s all I have to moan about that’s how good it was. If you like a good meal in the evening book

  Clean, modern, well equipped, comfortable, spacious. Nice touches with the cake and some milk waiting for me when I arrived. Very convenient for the Park and Ride for York and for main roads to other places. Quiet with lovely views over the golf course. I am recommending it to all my friends. Small comments: The TV was actually a smart TV so one had access to You Tube, etc. Very good. On the other hand, there was nowhere to plug my electric toothbrush into - so bring a convertor! But these are small points. Definitely recommended.

  It was spotlessly clean, modern, tastefully decorated and the furniture, bedding and towels were of good quality. The kitchen was well equipped with everything you could possibly need to self cater. The view from our lounge window was beautiful. We looked out onto a well kept lawn with flower planters and the golf course across the way. Mrs Scutt was very welcoming and there were cup cakes in the kitchen for us upon arrival. The location is a 5 min drive from the Retail Park where you can catch the Park and Ride bus into York. We would certainly recommend this bungalow to others who want a holiday in beautiful, peaceful surroundings with lovely walks nearby.

  From the friendly greeting on arrival, to the welcome cookies left (which the kids loved). The parlour itself is a spacious place to stay all rooms are a great size and immaculately clean and warm. The view from the living room window looks out to the golf course and was very peaceful, no one disturbed you at all it was like a little piece of heaven. Swallow Hall itself is close by to everything yet seems like a hundred miles away in the country We used the park and ride at the Designer outlet (5 mins away) to get to York which was perfect. Would def recommend the Milking Parlour and will def book again.

  It is ideal if you want somewhere off the beaten track but not to far. A very peaceful and quiet setting in a golf course. There is a folder giving you all you need to know about the cottage. Onsite washing and drying you clothes if needed including a washing line and pegs. You can use the golf course and club house if you require. The cottage is lovely and to be honest if we could we would buy it as it is so right for us. Everything you need for cooking is there making you able to cook a roast to a simple meal. Lots of brochures are kept in a draw for you to decide what to do each day. Highly recommend staying here.

  Lovely cottage, very comfortable. Friendly welcome. A bottle of milk was provided in the fridge, also a delicious lemon cake. Good location for visiting the delights of Yorkshire. Close to the park and ride service into York next to the Designer Outlet. We did not visit the on site restaurant so cannot comment on that. Golf course was available at reduced rates. Also tennis court if you feel energetic. We would recommend this cottage. As a side note, we could not get a signal from our phones all week at the cottage and the wi fi provided did not work other than very briefly on Saturday morning. This was not a problem to us, but it could be for other holiday makers.
