We arrived at this B&B as pre-booked 26 to 29 April 2013 where we were made welcome and dietary needs (coeliac/gluten free alongside vegetarian) were met. The B&B was clean and comfortable, what we liked the most was that we had our own small sitting room area; this was good as it enabled us to relax and have family time,... More

Typical farmhouse B&B. Had to remove shoes to enter which was a pain but the rooms were large enough, ours had a separate sitting room to watch TV, bathroom was ok and a shower that required a bit of skill to use. Lovely surrounds to the house and hosts were friendly and happy to offer advice and suggestions. Good breakfast... More

The room was very good and en suite adequate,however, if you like cold cooked breakfast,with just 2 choices of cereal, and hosts who do not ask you what cooked items you want, and when you do ask for some items and not others are told brakfast is already cooked, then this is the B & B for you. Very expensive... More

Room excellent, shower a little technical? Breakfast fantastic. Helpfulness of Paul... wonderful. Highly recommended. Close to York, the Dales, North York moors etc. Definitely worth taking the park and ride service....just down the road.

Great place to stay if you are exploring the area in and around York. The hosts Cath and Paul made us feel very welcome and always available to help with any requests we had, even going to the trouble of printing off a train time table of the local service which enabled us to travel to York by rail instead...

We stayed for four nights and found the location nice and central for driving to the many places of interest in and around York, i.e the Jorvik centre, Bronte Parsonage, Mother Shipton's cave etc. The owners were very helpful with travel tips and advice. Our room and ensuite bathroom were very clean and comfortable and we had a lovely view... More

We stayed here without booking. After driving through a snowstorm we needed somewhere to sleep, and this was the first we came to. When we rang from the end of the driveway to check the price the man yelled out to his wife " There is a [--] booking on the phone!" Not such a good start, especially when the... More

Rooms very clean but you have to pay cash. Only 2 letting rooms with breakfast served on a cramped landing at a single table for the 4 guests. Badly lit at night and cash only. Food was good but no choice
