The Hayloft

• "The cottage was lovely and was in a great location to visit the area."

  Just some little things that could improve would be that the signage to the fam was clearer. Driving in the winter in the dark means you can’t see the buildings and turning very easily. The yard was also dark and we couldn’t see easily that there was reserved parking by the cottage. A light on in the cottage for when you arrive in the dark would be good also as we had to use the torch on our phones to find the light switch.

• "A lovely well-appointed cottage with everything available to make our stay enjoyable."

  Plenty of comfortable space and facilities along with some very nice touches. Location was good with Harrogate, Knaresborough within a few miles and the local shop caters for most daily needs. A thoroughly enjoyable stay in pleasant and convenient surroundings. We could well return in future.

• "Lovely comfortable accommodation."

  Although on a working farm, we found the Hayloft peaceful & private. Spotlessly clean, cosy & just what we wanted for a short 2 night break. We ate our meals out locally, but the kitchen was well equipped with everything needed for self catering. Private car parking right in front of property. Overall a very comfortable stay & somewhere we would consider staying again if we revisit the area in the future.

• "This is our second visit to the Hayloft and once again everything that needed to make our stay comfortable was provided."

  Unfortunately the gas company decided to start working on the main road while we were there. We were lucky with the weather until the Thursday but it didn’t worry us.

  Everything has been thought of to make your stay very comfortable and enjoyable. A lovely area to explore - we enjoyed Fountains Abbey and Studley Royal, RHS Harlow Carr. Spofforth Castle was small but worth a visit and the Spofforth local shop is excellent.

  The bathroom was beautiful with a walk in shower and free standing bath. The kitchen was very well equipped with full sized oven, dishwasher, washing machine, freezer, fridge and microwave.

• "The Hayloft is a wonderful countryside retreat, we found the location to be so peaceful."

  Upon arrival to the property we found it in spotless condition. With clean cutlery + fresh bedding and towels. Pat and Duke have created a detailed guide on how all of the appliances and facilities work within the property. As well as a guide on, local attractions and grocery stores within close proximity. Our Hayloft stay was so special over the holiday season. We felt so relaxed and safe within the property. That much, we can’t wait to return. Hayloft is truly, an incredible stay. I would highly recommend.

  Spotlessly clean and fully equipped ( the slow cooker was a real bonus which we made good use of) lovely comfortable bed and great bathroom. That bath is a beauty ! Ideal spot for getting out and exploring all that N Yorkshire has to offer. A Morrisons and a Sainsburys within 5 mins drive in either direction, the perfect getaway. We would highly recommend a stay at The Hayloft

  There is so much to do in the area, we need to return! We thought the decoration was really nice. And the whole place was comfortable. Especially like the bath/ shower and sofa in the bedroom, a lovely chilled coffee spot. Would have loved some bigger towels, with long hair I struggled a bit. Would return and recommend.

• "Had a lovely stay despite some indifferent weather."

  Cottage was well equipped, certainly one that has been fitted with 'new stuff' instead of cast off furnishings which many owners see as acceptable. No issues with main road proximity or being on a working farm, purchased some lovely potatoes to bring home ! Unable to walk to village due to muddy fields and there being no footpath on main road. Useful bus services from Spofforth into Harrogate and Wetherby when leaving the car in the village.Castle pub in village and Kestrel in opposite direction from cottage are useful, nearby places to eat. Would certainly be happy to return.

  We found it just as described- extremely comfortable and lovely and warm. We had booked this so that we could attend a conference in Harrogate for part of the week and have a holiday for the rest. It was ideal for both. It is situated on a main road ( no road noise can be heard from the property) which as townies who find navigating narrow country lanes in the dark stressful was a real bonus.

  The cottage is situated on a busy farm and there was a new laundry being created in the building next door, but all the workers were very polite and considerate - one of them even pointed out that my car had a tyre that needed re-inflating. The en-suite shower was sheer luxury on a morning and when returning after a day's walking. The area is well served for those who enjoy hiking and there are several walks from the cottage door - with a public footpath going through the farm. The property is well placed between Knaresborough and Harrogate, with Knaresborough in particular being well set up with on street seating for lunches and teas (Covid restrictions still in place for eating in).
