Summerfield Farm Cottage

This was our fourth stay at Summerfield cottage.

The cottage is attached to the farmhouse, but the windows and garden face away from the house so guests enjoy privacy. The views from the windows, over the garden and fields, are charming. The bedrooms are spacious and the beds comfortable. The windows face north and west, which can make the downstairs rooms rather dark and cool (an advantage in this heatwave). Fiona is very helpful, and responds to questions and problems promptly.

Lovely quiet farm accommodation, fiona is a lovely lady very helpful at all times out 2nd vist we will be returning.

Well, this is the third time we've stayed here.

An absolutely wonderful cottage with every facility you need, a nice garden with table and seating to have your barbecue in - and in a lovely part of the country.

We really enjoyed our stay at Summerfield Cottage.

This was our second visit and won’t be our last.

Very friendly welcome from Fiona, very large and comfortable cottage with everything you need, very quiet and relaxing stay and enjoyed our holiday there with plenty of up to date information available, highly recommend John and Jan

Wonderful property, lovely hosts and a wonderful location - very peaceful yet close to some wonderful attractions and amenities, we highly recommend Sutton Bank and Eden camp for days out.

A really super cottage.

A lovely place to stay, with welcoming and helpful hosts on hand if you need them.

It's in a peaceful location but with easy access to main roads and great places to visit. A cold bathroom but useful downstairs toilet makes up for it. All other facilities were excellent. Thank you. Will come again.

Lovely peaceful place to stay.

Ryan and Fiona were friendly hosts. We were a bit worried as they allow dogs and we don't usually stay at cottages where dogs are allowed. When we walked into the cottage it smelt fresh and you couldn't tell dogs were allowed. Overall very clean and everything you needed for a perfect stay. Beds were comfy as was the sofa. We would definitely recommend Summerfield farm and look forward to returning. Oh and the grey cat was very friendly and always greeted us on our return! Thank you Ryan and Fiona

The property as a hole was very nice and the hosts were very helpful.

It was very cold for the first couple of days until the cottage got warm from the heating and fire being on. The bathroom was very cold and drafty, even when the heating was on, so did not get chance to use it. However the shower room was very cosy and very a good shower..

A cosy cottage in a fabulous location.

We had a great time here over a winter weekend. The lambd gambolling in the garden were a definite highlight!

Gorgeous place!

We loved the accommodation and the animal just outside! It was such an easy drive to a few little villages/towns and was set in the picturesque countryside. Can’t wait to come back!

Beautiful location handy for day trips in the area.

The cottage was spotless and quiet and relaxing,

Summerfield farm cottage was absolutely perfect for our stay.

With the heating on when we arrived and a Christmas tree up in the living room it made it very welcoming. Also getting a welcome pack of fresh eggs was a bonus. The area is lovely and quiet and not too far of a drive to a local town with pubs for dinner. The cottage has everything you need to make it a perfect stay, a home away from home.

Absolutely loved this little cottage!

! Everything you need for your stay. Driving is a must as its bit out of the way BUT definitely worth it and would highly recommend, would book again.

We had a lovely few days in your cottage .

Beautiful area with perfect villages nearby. A warm house on arrival would have been better as it was quite cold , but it soon warmed up with easy instructions for all appliances. Thank you.

We had a wonderful stay … it was all lovely … immaculate, warm , comfortable beds , genuinely lovely owners and a fabulous location for so many great places to visit !

We’ll go back I'm sure …

We have returned for the second year to Summerfield Cottage.

It is perfect for families and the dog. It is quiet and peaceful yet the owners are on hand for any queries. Location wise makes it easy for nearby Helmsley and to get to the coast. We will go again.

We had a great time - advert was accurate, very peaceful and quiet.

Met by friendly grey cat each time returned from our day out! The fresh eggs available from the 'roaming' chicken were 'proper' fresh! Spoke to Ryan about the sticking door of the shower room. on his return from his hols will try to make the necessary adjustments (not really a problem for a family) The beds were nice and comfortable - generally a pleasant stay. Thanks

A beautiful cottage in a lovely location, close to lots of attractions, the coast and moors.

Second time we've enjoyed this lovely cottage in one of our favourite areas and favourite walks like the 11.

6 mile Rosedale Ironstone railway tracked, Whitby to Robin Hoods Bay, the escarpment from Sutton Bank and a few others. Lovely weather, only one wet afternoon.

Very happy to be here for our third visit.

Spacious bedrooms, lovely views, garden where we could sit out when the weather was suitable. Very convenient location for visiting the local abbeys and castles. Although the cottage adjoins the owner's farm, the doors and windows face away from the farmhouse, so there is quiet and privacy. One small suggestion - a large mixing bowl and perhaps another good-sized baking dish would be useful? I mixed the batter for toad-in-the-hole in a pudding basin, and I managed it but it was...a challenge!

Great place in a great area.

Kitchen had everything needed, beds so comfy, watching the animals in particular the chickens. Sadly the cat scared my dog :) Really enjoyed the lovely fresh eggs. Perfect for solo travellers friends or a young family.

We have enjoyed a lovely holiday in a very comfortable cottage in a very peaceful setting.

The owners were very friendly greeting us on arrival .Loved seeing the free roaming chickens and the little pigs rootling in their paddock.

After exploring the moors & seaside it was good to come back to the cottage & unwind.

Everything was excellent and Fiona & Ryan were friendly & helpful hosts. We love the animals especially the hens & piggies! We will be back.

A brilliant time, cottage was just wonderful, homily, Fionia and Ryan was there if needed but otherwise full privatese at all times.

Situated quiet but within a short drive you had a wonderful town of Helmsley. Cannot express how much we enjoyed their cottage. Hopefully to return in the future. Barbie and Clive

We have been to this cottage several times.

It is not the most up to date property we’ve stayed in - it’s a farm cottage. But it still gets five stars because the ambience is instantly relaxing. It’s in an isolated spot with lots of space to look across the fields. Or you might occasionally see light aircraft from the airfield not far away - we have seen them practicing looping the loop before! There are a few animals: chickens and farm cats, and whilst we were last there a couple of rare breed piglets. Our boys absolutely adore playing on the tyre swing. The owners have installed a simple footbridge allowing you to quickly access the public right of way that runs at the other side of the small river at the bottom of their field, meaning you don’t have to walk a long way along the lanes before getting onto the pretty local footpaths for country walks. The owners are friendly and accommodating. There is lots to do in the local area, such as English Heritage and National Trust properties, and a great birds of prey Centre in Helmsley. Would happily visit again!

The cottage is in a beautiful and quiet setting.

It had all the comforts we wanted. The garden was secure for the dog and a lovely place to sit. There was plenty of evening sun for a rest in the garden after walking. We had a good view of the trees, chickens and pigs and on one occasion sheep, who had wandered out of their field. There was more than enough for us to do in the area, we could have filled many weeks with walks. You can walk from the cottage to Nunnington Hall. Helmsley was bustling, picturesque and friendly. The eggs the owners gave us were delicious, and we could see the chickens having a good life. We would highly recommend.

It was such a serene location.

A perfect base for exploring. Wandering down with the dog to the beautiful little stream on an evening with the sun going down behind the banks of daffodils was magical. The dark skies were beautiful too, SO many stars visible on a night. If the owners are reading this, thanks for the eggs, and the filter coffee was a lovely bonus too. You have a beautiful place to live, well done!

We had a great stay and were impressed by the speed of the owners dealing with the heating issue.

Lovely cottage with an ample secure garden and everything you could possibly need provided.

Lovely peaceful location. Will definitely return

Lovely cottage in a very quiet peaceful setting.

Didn’t hear one firework, which we came away to avoid. The cottage had everything we needed, kitchen well equipped with a good hob and oven. Reasonable freezer compartment above fridge. Comfy beds with nice quality linens. Garden for dog, watch out for the sheep and chickens that are about, we found them very amusing and our dog wasn’t bothered by them. Great location for access to market towns (Helmsley was five minutes by car and had great shops) and to the Moors. There is certainly plenty to do. We did many morning walks and the area is very dog friendly, in fact, if you don’t like dogs you’re stuck as we saw so many on the Cleveland way and in the towns. Thank you for a great stay and the fresh, free range eggs. We will certainly return.

The cottage was so cosy and comfortable that we didn’t go out as much as we thought we would.

It was lovely just chilling in front of the fire. We look forward to returning in the future. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

This cottage was perfect for us and our dog.

The location is quiet and peaceful even though its on a working farm. Very well quipped and spotlessly clean. Everything provided for. The hosts are lovely and friendly and welcoming and nice to know they’re on hand if there were any problems. We had a lovely stay and will definitely be booking for next year.

We stayed at Summerfield Farm cottage last autumn and came straight back this year, which says straight away that we like it!

The cottage is clean, the rooms are spacious and uncluttered, the ambiance is pleasant and homely. The kitchen has a comfortable amount of workspace and plenty of cupboard room. Although the cottage is next to the owners' home, the windows all face away over the fields/down the drive, and the cottage garden is on the side away from the owners' windows and door, so one has a feeling of privacy and quiet. The garden has a table, chairs and a parasol for sitting out in fine weather. The views from the bedrooms, by the way, are delightful. Just one thing to be aware of is that the stairs are steep. It won't be a problem for most adults, and I think that the owners provide a safety gate for toddlers, but something to consider if someone is elderly or frail?

Lovely little cottage, well equipped.

Double room only had a 3/4 bed, small and not very comfortable. A few light bulbs already blown and no replacements could be found. Apart from that we had a lovely stay. Thank you

The property is set in wonderful surroundings, although it adjoins owners property it is very private with its own garden which is well maintained.

Owners very friendly and gave info regarding local area and places to visit. Based on a farm, so a few animals present and lovely fresh eggs daily. Very well kept cottage and a full inventory in kitchen. We are hoping to return soon to explore more of the beautiful surrounding area.

We had a lovely holiday and certainly the weather helped.

The outside garden was perfect and very safe for our spaniel .Beds and garden furniture very comfortable. There are so many places to visit nearby and we hope to return.

Good location and friendly advice given by owner regarding the area

Absolutely great.

We really enjoyed our stay, not only was it a very pleasant location but all the facilities were A1.

We've had a wonderful time at the Summer field farm cottage with the surrounding area comfortable and relaxing, ideal retreat to those seeking rejuvenate from busy lifestyle.

However, the simple touches like resources and better communication could be better. We were asked by the guest book to strip the bedding on our departure for example and put it in the laundry basket, yet we couldn't find any, however we have looked. There weren't enough supplies of toilet tissues either and ended up buying our own. The same applied to kitchen towels or wet towels where there were only few left. We didn't mind to put the cottage as we found it but would appreciate on our holiday to supply with resources to do the job at least. Also, being it a farm it advertised in the guest book, guests could purchase fresh eggs, but was told there weren't any due to owner having family members visitors and that she'll let me know the next day. I didn't receive any notification. Small touches like that would make a big difference to the overall satisfaction.

Cottage was lovely and comfortable but a few little things need attention.

The hot tap in downstairs bathroom is loose. The skirting board on entrance to living room is rotten with a hole in it. Upstairs bathroom small light above mirror isn't working. Downstairs bathroom smells a bit of mould. Apart from these little things we enjoyed our stay.

We had a lovely stay!

Quiet rural location with enclosed garden for dog was perfect for us. Beds were comfy and we had everything we needed.

Lovely cottage.

Felt just right.

Very nice clean property in lovely location.

This was my second visit And always a pleasure to stay here. The owls at night were calling to each other really nice to hear. Thank you Rob

Our 2 week stay was perfect in every way.

The hosts were friendly helpful and on hand if we needed but not obtrusive. The farm and surrounding land is excellent for walking our dog who thoroughly enjoyed running free in the fields. The cottage is extremely well stocked and instructions & guidance is some of the best we have seen. We know the area very well as we are locals (in between house moves) so we really loved being able to relax in this wonderful setting at a stressful time for us. The cottage was very spacious for the 2 of us , had a lovely cosy open fire, 2 bathrooms and a second bedroom which we used to store our interim belongings, would have stayed an extra week but unsurprisingly the cottage is fully booked, would highly recommend

Summer field cottage is warm and cosy.

It is ideal for visiting so many places in north yorkshire.it is always clean and has everything you need.the stairs would be steep for any one with walking difficulties.we have visited three times and would recommend it.

We found the cottage snug and cheerful on wild, wet November days and nights.

The batterie de cuisine is admirably complete, clearly stocked by someone who realises that holidaymakers really do sometimes want to cook! Sufficient knives, chopping boards, big enough saucepans etc. Good-sized rooms throughout. When we had a temporary problem with the hot water, Fiona responded very quickly and came round to reset the controls. I will mention here (NOT an issue with the cottage, but with the email I received from Sykes) that the directions for finding Summerfield website are unnecessarily complicated. Luckily I contacted Fiona in advance, and she gave me crystal clear, accurate and simple directions.

We had a lovely time at Summerfield Cottage.

The garden was really secure for our dog, the views were amazing. Everything was clean and comfortable. We met the owner once and she was really helpful, advising us about short cuts to get on the Moors. Fabulous! Would definitely recommend

The cottage was beautiful and the location for sightseeing was superb as there was so much to see and do in the area.

Everything we needed was supplied. The owners were so friendly and helpful and we would like to especially thank them for assisting us to locate the cottage. Judy & Dan

We loved our stay at the cottage it’s the third time we have been there and it was as lovely as ever,peace and quiet nice enclosed garden for our dog to run around in,will be coming back.

Dave Haverhill

A late booking to take advantage of the early Sept sun, so we enjoyed glorious weather throughout our stay.

The cottage is located in beautiful countryside and ideally placed to explore the east coastline an hour away or lots of lovely places closer by. Our dog enjoyed the pretty self enclosed garden, as did we. Friendly and welcoming owners next door should you need them, but not at all intrusive. Perfect cottage for a relaxing break.

The ambience of this holiday cottage is really relaxing.

If you’re looking for ultra-modern it might not be for you, but if you want rural slower-paced life, watching animals and birds, this would be ideal. This was our second visit. The kids demanded to return because there is great tyre swing in the farm yard, and two friendly outdoor farm cats. This year there were also chickens that enthusiastically sought us out for bird seeds and oats. The cottage is really conveniently located for days out under twenty minutes’ drive away: Riveaulx Terrace, Riveaulx Abbey, Byland Abbey, Helmsley Castle, Helmsley Walled Garden, Nunnington Hall, North York Moors Railway and more. We would warmly recommend the National Birds of Prey Centre in Duncombe Park.

This is a lovely, comfortable, clean, well equipped cottage with good wi-fi connection.

It is in a good location for exploring the surrounding countryside.

A comfortable cottage with everything you need.

Situated in a beautiful area surrounded by fields, along with the sheep cows and hens enabling a tranquil stay. The cats are inquisitive and love a fuss. The owners are next door, they are friendly and very helpful but not at all intrusive, the perfect hosts. A great place to stay to unwind with lots to do in the area and somewhere for everyone a little further afield.

We had a very enjoyable stay, and the property was in a lovely location.

The Cottage was very comfortable, and all the appliances worked well for us. We would be very happy to have another holiday there. I found the stairs a bit steep, but my mobility is not the best, and most people would manage them fine. My wife did have a fall on the first evening, as there was a unexpected step down as soon as you enter the twin bedroom - she was a bit bruised, but soon recovered. Many thanks to Fiona.

Lovely place to stay.

Made really welcome by the family who own the farmhouse.

We had a lovely few days restful holiday - cut a bit short at either end due to our little dog who wasnt very well.

Such a comfortable cottage and Fiona and Ryan the owners are lovely people. It was our second visit and while we didn't go as far as we would have liked this time we enjoyed walks around Nunnington Hall and shopped at Morrisons in Malton. Thank you for the Free Range eggs Fiona they had exceptional flavour.Would thoroughly recommend this cottage - it is home from home and there is everything there that you might need for your stay.

A really nice place to stay.

Our five year old was delighted to see the sheep and chickens and to help feed the pigs. Fiona and her family were really welcoming, and we also had plenty of privacy. We would definitely stay again if we're in the area.

Very comfortable cottage with everything we needed.

Views were lovely with lots of garden birds. Rare tree sparrows came to our feeder along with many others which we really enjoyed. Whole area and villages very beautiful.

A fantastic cottage and managed to light the fire without mishap.

Lived up to expectations.

Enjoyed our second stay at summer field cottage.

It is always clean, warm and welcoming. We hope to return again as there is so much to see in the area.

Ideal quiet location and easy to get to many places in the surrounding district.

Lovely outdoor seating area in the garden, comfortable bedrooms and well equipped kitchen. Would definitely recommend.

Was this property perfect?

No, the kitchen was a bit cramped, the upstairs shower room a bit narrow, and we couldn’t find enough tall glasses in the cupboard. But did we love it and would be come again? Yes, absolutely. It was such a relaxing place with a pleasant sheltered garden. Best of all were the things that weren’t in the listing. There was some play equipment in the yard and the boys absolutely loved the tyre swing. There were some very friendly fluffy cats around to stroke. And there is a small quiet airfield close by and one of the pilots showed off his skills doing loop the loops and dives. Lots to do close by. The kids enjoyed the adventure play area at Castle Howard the best. Had a lovely time here.

Great location.

Cottage is beginning to look a little tired, and is quite sparse however it didn't distract our stay. It would have been good to have a welcome note, or booklet to explain the favourite spots, or must-do visits in the area - there is so many hidden gems so it would be good to share the local knowledge. The two farm cats are very friendly and greeted us most mornings and evening!

Beautiful little cottage perfect for a family get-away.

The place was lovely and clean, well equipped with tranquil views of the countryside. Ideal location for visiting both the Yorkshire moors and the dales. Hosts welcoming. A great find, we hope to be back!

Shame the description online differed to what was actually available.

Garden furniture was insufficient for 4 people, and when requested more seating, we were offered 2 plastic chairs. No eggs were available although the description said collect your own eggs for breakfast, no sight of any chickens or a reason why. We had a few people approaching us at the cottage about loose sheep and also a user of the adjacent caravan and camping site trying to contact the owners, who were not available during the day.

Just got back from a wonderful stay at Summerfield cottage.

Beautiful area and just a few minutes drive to Harome & Helmsley. The cottage is lovely with everything you need, as we were blessed with gorgeous weather a little more outdoor furniture is all I would ask for. Lovely and relaxing stay and so quiet. Would certainly recommend.

HAD A LOVELY TIME COTTAGE WAS VERY HOMELY.

.OWNERS VERY WELCOMING.EVERYTHING CATERED FOR ALL OUR NEEDS..THANK YOU FOR A LOVELY STAY..

Lovely comfortable cottage in beautiful quiet location.

Plenty of places to visit and activities to do. Highlights were Helmsley, Rievaulx Abbey, the coast especially Whitby (best fish and chips at the Fisherman’s Wife) and Bempton Cliffs, walking on the moors and visiting RHS Harlow Carr.

We had a wonderful stay at this cosy cottage.

Lovely views from all the rooms and a very warm welcome. We would love to stay here again.

Summer field Cottage was a perfect get-away.

This was a first holiday since Covid. The cottage was a home from home. Everything you needed. The cottage was clean and comfortable an in a great location. We got to explore Yorkshire and had the perfect base to return to. The beds were so comfortable! The owners were friendly day and even gave us eggs and let us visit the new born lambs. Would have no hesitation to return and ro recommend.

Lovely quaint little cottage, very homely with a wood burning fire.

Just perfect!

Lovely, old, stone cottage in beautiful location, 5-10minute drive to the town of Helmsley.

We were welcomed with a sticky ginger cake left for us in the kitchen upon our arrival.The cottage was comfortable with a really well-equipped kitchen, including In the pantry an iron & board, mop & bucket, sweeping brush & dust-pan, vacuum cleaner & recycling boxes & plenty of cleaning products & cloths & washing up liquid, dishwasher tablets. Nice touches & saves having to bring or buy those additional items. The property was clean and we had everything we needed. The owners left equipment & logs for a fire for the first night, which was nice. We didn't light a fire though because we didn't spend much time in the cottage. Really enjoyed our stay & would definitely book again.

The cottage was in a beautiful location and had everything we needed.

Our hosts made us feel very welcome. There is a lot to explore in the area and we would definitely return.

Cosy and very comfortable, we enjoyed our stay.

A good base for getting our and about but also lovely to come back to. Appreciated privacy and quiet, views from windows and whole range of kitchen amenities. Excellent wi-fi meant managed to do some remote work as well. Thank you for welcome fire pack and cake.

Had a lovely stay the cottage had everything we needed and was very comfortable.

Although it was winter we still had good views out of the window and enjoyed watching the chickens and sheep. The property was connected to the owners but very private with its own garden. I would love to return in the summer and spend more time in the area as lots of small friendly towns around

Absolutely brilliant stay, in the middle of nowhere with only sheep next door and a friendly chicken for company.

We really enjoyed the peacefulness and had a great time just relaxing. We would love to go back I didn't want to leave the tranquil surroundings to come back to normality.

Very clean, very peaceful.

Lovely log fire , great location for exploring nearby , will hopefully stay again.

We hope to book the cottage again.

We were egg-static about the welcome half-dozen and the double mattress is the most comfortable I have ever slept on. The wi-fi was great too and the teenager was able to do his uni tutorials on Zoom. It was lovely to see The Grapes thriving in Slingsby and catch up with many local relations and friends. Jon and Josh

We had a lovely peaceful holiday thank you would recommend this cottage - it was very comfortable and everything you needed was there.

Would stay there again if in the area

Lovely area very quiet.

Cottage was very nice all updated to modern standard .would stay again if in area

The owners are friendly and welcoming.

The cottage is warm and comfortable. It is a little bit away from the village and no footpaths directly from the farm, However, we enjoyed our stay, it was quiet and relaxing and we enjoyed exploring the area.

A really lovely as advertised cottage.

We would definitely visit again. The owners also went above and beyond to support us when we needed local information etc. My 5 year old loved it. Thank you

The cottage was lovely .

Clean and comfortable. A lovely kitchen to cook in with modern facilities . lovely location too and excellent for local attractions and cycling in the area. Very quiet and peaceful for a restful holiday. John

Great location for exploring the North Yorkshire moors and coast, the house is a bit old fashioned but is clean and warm, the stairs are a bit steep and the bathroom is tagged onto the property in a cold extention, however there is a second shower room upstairs which is OK.

The master bedroom could do with blackout curtains, we were woken each day at 5AM by the sun.

We have just returned from a lovely week at Summerfield Farm Cottage.

The location was perfect for us as it was peaceful but not too far from walking/places to see and a shop in Kirkbymoorside. The cottage was well equipped and had everything we needed and they clearly consider Covid cleaning between stays. My only slight negative comments would be that some rooms are starting to look like they could do with a lick of paint and also maybe a clearer signage of the main farmhouse as the few quiet caravans that were there kept getting mixed up and trying to come pay us for their plot! This wouldn’t put us off staying here again though.

Lovely cottage in peaceful surroundings.

Also has an enclosed garden with table and chairs, great views, huge trees.

Summerfield cottage was lovely, very comfortable and clean.

Perhaps the best equipped kitchen in any cottage we’ve stayed in, even though we didn’t do any cooking. Fiona was very helpful and the eggs are just delicious!

All very good Fiona was very helpful overall we had a great time

Thoroughly enjoyed our visit to this delightful part of Yorkshire, the cottage was excellent, warm, plenty of hot water, good facilities, kitchen a bit tight for two people moving around.

Lovely position, really quiet and views over the countryside, Helmsley very interesting town.

Spacious and comfortable.

Warm and for want of better word cosy

We had a great holiday , because of the Covid 19 restrictions the owner had to remove the usual local information leaflets/maps etc so we had to do our own research online although the owner was very helpful with pointing out places to eat locally .

The hosts did a great job at very short notice to accommodate us and were really helpful when we were there.

A lovely little find!

We had a lovely time at Summerfield Farm Cottage near Helmsley.

It was warm, cosy and clean with good cooking facilities and really comfortable beds. The owners were very welcoming and respectful and provided gorgeous fresh eggs on arrival. We had booked to go in spring but when Covid hit I cancelled the booking and rebooked for later. Sykes were very good with communications, refund and rebooking and all information was clear. Thank you!

Cottage was lovely, really had everything you needed.

Lovely outdoor space ideal for our small dog as secure all round. Great swing which the kids enjoyed and seeing the pigs. Lovely touch with the fresh eggs left for us. Clean and comfortable. Beautiful area our first time of exploring, so much to do as long as you have the car as cottage out in the countryside. Beautifully quiet and peaceful a real get away. Great Covid secure plan and instructions. Definitely be returning.

A beautiful, peaceful setting.

gorgeous views from every window! Lots of places to go walking in the area. The garden is great for relaxing at the end of the day. We enjoyed exploring round the farm and meeting up with the animals. The cottage is very comfortable, clean and had all the kitchen equipment we needed. In these COVID times I would recommend organising a grocery delivery from one of the supermarkets based in Malton. The family were welcoming (loved the banana bread) friendly and available when we needed to ask anything but also gave us our privacy. We enjoyed a fantastic week.
