  • "We came to Ploughman's Rigg as a family to celebrate a 75th birthday - and this cottage exceeded our expectations."

    Ploughman's Rigg is faultless - even if you wanted to be really picky, you couldn't report a negative about this cottage. The hosts have paid exceptional attention to detail and consideration for the guest, ensuring it has been furnished to a very high standard and contains all of the useful things you need on a home-from-home stay - particularly in the kitchen, and the welcome gifts and cooking essentials. The cottage was impeccably clean, spacious and luxuriously comfortable. The hosts have even penned-off a 'personal' garden area outside of the backdoor to allow dogs to run freely and ensure they don't escape. The cottage is situated on a quiet working farm a short drive along their farm track. It is idyllically quiet and benefits from views across the sheep fields of North Yorkshire and even across to York on a bright day. Despite being hidden away in the Yorkshire countryside, there is very good mobile phone, WiFi and television reception. The eco-sustainability of these cottages is notable and should be celebrated. We would highly recommend Ploughman's Rigg, and we would without hesitation come to stay again.

Excellent Italian restaurant in Spofforth and Shoulder of Mutton pub in Kirkby Overblow also do a good choice of home cooked food. Both venues need to be booked. A fantastic cottage.

    Off the beaten track with wonderful views across the valley. The property is spectacular with high spec fixtures and fittings, beautiful L shaped leather soafa, all kitchen appliances are top quality under floor heating was perfect. The only slight markdown was the duvet was too heavy and ok for winter but too thick for summer. (Personal preference I guess) should have taken my own as I am a bit fussy. On suite and showers were superb. Thanks again for all your work to make our stay enjoyable

    Perfectly clean, well equipped, fantastic views. I think it should be made clear that although there is a boundary to the overall 3 gardens that are designated as three separate areas, the delineation is visual and would not restrict children or dogs from straying into each other gardens. No privacy visually between gardens either. Great if you are a group but not if you want any outdoor private space

    The cottage was decorated to a high standard with lots of amenities. We were impressed with how well stocked the kitchen was - lots of cutlery, cooking implements, cling film, tin foil and washing up products. Each bathroom has soap, shampoo and conditioner. A welcome basket when we arrived had basics and holiday treats. On arrival the owner noticed we had young children and brought a big box of toys, which the children used all week. This attention to detail and kindness really sets them apart. The cottage is well located, 10 minutes from Wetherby and Harrogate. Lots of places to visit close by. We highly recommend this cottage after our fantastic holiday.

    When we arrived there was a lovely hamper provided, complete with birthday cake and balloon for a birthday that we were celebrating. The cottage was spotless and the best we have stayed in. The kitchen is well equipped. The bedrooms are all doubles and en-suites. Downstairs is open plan and great for family gatherings. The tv is massive. The views form the windows are amazing and we enjoyed looking through the telescope at the scenery and birds. We had 2 dogs with us and there was a secure run for them outside the back door which was helpful. The only very slight issue is that the hob only allows one ring at full power at a time but we still managed to cook our family meals without too much trouble. Would definitely recommend and would definitely revisit. Thank Woodward family.

    We were welcomed with a beautiful, clean house with a lovely welcome basket. We had an issue with the WiFi and the owner was around within 10 minutes to help fix the issue - fantastic care from the owners. The beds are very comfortable, lovely bathrooms and we even had a little penned off area of the garden for the dogs to go to the toilet. The views? Oh the views! Absolutely breath taking. We loved the telescope in the lounge for them too. The hob was a bit tricky as you can only cook on high on one not all 4, presumably energy saving but made cooking for a large family a bit of a task although not impossible by any means and very clear instructions in the visitors booklet to navigate appliances. It was lovely to wake to the lambs and sheep outside the bedroom window - and seeing all of the farm cats strolling by. We highly enjoyed our stay and would be very happy to return.

    The conversion of this property, has been completed very well and finished to the highest spec.

Dog walks and public footpaths from the property were clearly marked. The utility area is a great space to wipe down those muddy paws and keep those muddy boots. There is a small garden area, within the larger garden, that has been fenced off (with temporary fencing so as not to spoil the view) which is ok for the dogs for the first am & last pm “visit”. The owners are on site and were a lovely, friendly family. The gift basket had tea, cake, biscuits, milk, butter, bread and wine inside, all of which we had been asked preference of or allergy concerns before arrival.

  • "When we arrived the owners had gone above and beyond all expectations."

    We had mentioned we were seeing my mums sister and it was her birthday, they provided a cake and balloon, lovely. The owners even put up a fence so we could keep a proper eye on the dog. The cottage had amazing views and the walks from the cottage were great. A great pub in the village of Spofforth, within walking distance. Very relaxed holiday, highly recommended.

  • "The property was finished to a very high standard with "hotel grade bedrooms" and was very comfortable and spacious."

    The Welcome Hamper left for us by the owners was excellent and had lots of local produce. The outside space was plentiful for all especially for BBQs and the dogs with access to local footpaths to the neighbouring village and across the farmland. A good location and base to explore all of Yorkshire with the Dales 20 minutes away and Whitby and Scarborough just over an hour away.
