“We had a fantastic stay at Bailey House and couldn’t have asked for a better holiday cottage.”

The property was absolutely beautiful — luxurious, spacious and extremely well equipped, with everything you could possibly need for a relaxing and comfortable stay. The village itself was beautiful and peaceful, and the surrounding countryside was stunning. It was the perfect location for exploring the Yorkshire area, while also giving us a lovely place to come back to and unwind. The cottage was finished to a very high standard, and the attention to detail really made our stay special ...

We thoroughly enjoyed our time here and would have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Bailey House to anyone looking for a luxurious countryside getaway. We’d definitely love to return!

“We recently stayed at Bailey House and had an absolutely wonderful experience.”

The property itself is stunning, beautifully maintained, and set in such a picturesque location. The surrounding area is equally beautiful, providing the perfect setting for a relaxing family getaway. We thoroughly enjoyed all of the fantastic facilities, especially the swimming pool, sauna, tennis court, and the manicured gardens. There was something for everyone to enjoy, and it made our stay feel both luxurious and memorable. Most importantly, we made some truly precious family memories during our time there. We enjoyed our stay so much that we have already booked to return next year for a full week, which says it all! We would highly recommend Bailey House to anyone looking for a special place to stay and create lasting memories with family and friends.

“Would recommend a hand rail from the back door to the parking area, other than that credit to all concerned a wonderful property.”

- Stewart, May 2026
Peter May 2026

“Fabulous house, very clean and exceeded expectations.”

Ideal for our family wedding get together. Bonus having the pool and garden to enjoy, with plenty of parking. Owner Olly is kind and went out of his way to welcome us which we really appreciated.

- Peter, May 2026
Paul February 2026

“Absolutely beautiful barn conversion.”

Can't recommend the place highly enough, everything is thought of and provided and the owners live on site for any advice etc

- Paul, February 2026
Graham January 2026

“The property was excellent.”

The house could have been cleaner with some of the pots and pans not as clean as they should be and a few cobwebs. Another improvement would be the addition of full sets of wine glasses as well had to buy two to ensure we ll had a glass. That said the house is spacious, comfortable, warm and has plenty of hot water and we would highly recommend it.

- Graham, January 2026
Louise October 2025

“Bailey house was perfect for a family get away.”

The property was really well laid out, comfortable and spacious. It had everything we needed. Olly was the perfect host offering us produce from the kitchen garden. The on-site tennis court offered lots of fun and the surrounding walks direct from the property onto the Minster Way were perfect for leaving the car behind. We will definitely be back and are planning our next stay already.

- Louise, October 2025
David September 2025

“Bailey House gets top marks, the property is beautifully presented and maintained, fully equipped and well situated in the Yorkshire Wolds.”

The amenities are excellent, from a warm swimming pool, tennis court, and nice places to relax in the sun around the outside of the house. We enjoyed the produce from the walled garden, particularly the russet apples. The Star Inn pub over the road was a bonus, they provide an excellent Sunday lunch. Ollie the owner was helpful and pleasant. Would definitely recommend a stay here.

- David, September 2025
Jackie August 2025

“The photos don’t do this holiday home justice – it’s outstanding, with top-quality fixtures and fittings.”

The beds were superbly comfortable, the fully enclosed garden was perfect for our dogs, and Olly is a warm, easy going host . The pool was a wonderful bonus, there are great walks from the door, a friendly pub with good food nearby, and the village playground for the kids. We loved Filey beach (Scarborough was a bit busy), York Maze was a hit, and Beverley Minster is well worth a visit. A fabulous week in a beautiful home – the week flew by and we were sad to leave!

- Jackie, August 2025
Greg July 2025

“We stayed in July 2025.”

Lovely property in a very peaceful setting. Owners very friendly and approachable for any of our needs. In fact our toddler accidentally knocked over a TV - we were mortified! But owner couldn’t have been kinder about it and sorted out quickly. Would recommend to anyone for a stay in the country.

- Greg, July 2025
Nicola July 2025

“The property has a wonderful layout which is great for big families.”

The fixtures and fittings are all high quality and things have really been thought through. The use of the pool and walled garden is a wonderful touch and we took full advantage of the pool every day. There were a couple of things that needed attending to (broken front on a fridge drawer, sink leaking slightly in one of the ensuites) but we flagged it to the cleaner and she was grateful for the heads up.

- Nicola, July 2025
Kelly-jane July 2025

“Bailey House was a taste of luxury.”

Lots of space, beautifully decorated and very comfortable. It had everything you could want for a fab holiday. We particularly enjoyed the outdoor pool, tennis courts and the huge bath. Only slight issue we found was that the house was unbearably hot, particularly at night but it was very hot out while we there. Thanks again! Would most certainly return!

- Dorinda, June 2025
Caroline June 2025

“Lovely property!”

Nice big bedrooms. Front and back gardens, large one with a lawn. Lovely modern kitchen with 3 ovens. There's a walled garden where you can help yourself to the fruit and veg. The pool was a little cool but we used it a few times as we were lucky with the weather.

- Caroline, June 2025
Mark May 2025

“We had an amazing time, the property was all we expected and more.”

My family made the most of the pool and the sauna. Oh and the pub is literally 500 yards away, and we enjoyed many drinks and Sunday dinner for 8 of us. The property had everything a big family required and we will definitely recommend this property to anyone thinking of somewhere different for 3 day to a week away. Thanks so much for a fab time.

- Mark, May 2025
Remi May 2025

“We had a fantastic stay, the property exceeded expectations for all in our party.”

The property is much larger than we believed from pictures. Immaculately clean on arrival, beds and pillows very comfortable. The large enclosed garden is such a bonus for the children. We are looking to return as soon as we can. Overall a lovely stay for us all

Andy April 2025

“We had an excellent stay at the property.”

Ideal location, friendly and helpful host, good facilities and very clean and well maintained. We stayed with friends from Belgium who thoroughly enjoyed the stay as well. I highly recommend this property.

Carol March 2025

“What a fabulous place to stay.”

We have stayed in many, many holiday cottages and this is the BEST. Immaculate for cleanliness, everything you could need in the kitchen. Quality of furnishings and bed linen was fantastic. We enjoyed being able to walk our dogs in the field behind the kitchen garden as there was no livestock in it at the time. Our grandchildren enjoyed playing tennis and jenga. It was simply perfect

- Carol, March 2025

Sharon December 2024

“House was amazing and we’ll definitely be back.”

Only query would be Im not sure the beds are kingsize. Seemed smaller than our beds at home and all our party said the same. Other than that, perfect!

- Sharon, December 2024
Deborah November 2024

“An excellent find - fantastic, comfy house.”

Plenty of room for six of us. Stayed in November so we didn't use the garden or grounds due to the time of year. Apples and leeks picked from the kitchen garden were very tasty - thanks. Owner very pleasant and helpful. Lots of places to visit nearby. Highly recommend.

- Deborah, November 2024
Rachael November 2024

Simone October 2024

“Excellent property, full of features, charm and mod-cons.”

Pool and sauna lovely, though a little nippy for swimming in October. Host came to meet us and welcomed us to the area and showed us around the grounds. Pub across the road a great addition. Would highly recommend; great for families and friends just looking for a break. (Car needed to get around).

- Simone, October 2024
Charlotte September 2024

“What a perfect little get away!”

We wouldn’t change a thing about the place. The house had every home comfort we needed for adults, kids and the dogs. Just a beautiful place to stay. The owners left us some lovely little touches such as a bottle of Prosecco, cookies and treats for the dogs! The enclosed garden was perfect for us to let them wonder as well as the luxury of having a little herb garden to pick some fresh produce and the swimming pool to ourselves. The owners were friendly and helpful, and I will definately be recommending the place to friends and family. The pub being 1 minute walk away was a good added bonus too!

- Charlotte, September 2024
Alison September 2024

“Thank you so much for a wonderful much needed break.”

One of our family members was in a wheelchair and we knew the house wasn't listed as assemble but we make everything work. The owners couldn't do enough for us all. A very beautiful house with everything you'll ever need and wonderful owners near by if needed. We loved it and will definitely be back. Thank you so much

- Alison, September 2024
Patricia September 2024

“Great stay.”

Lovely to be able to be with all the family (and dogs) in one place Owner very helpful Sorry not to be able yo use the pool more, but our autistic son who loves swimming is awaiting ear surgery and swimming is forbidden. Guess we'll have to come back next year. Yorkshire Wolds was a new area for me and we really enjoyed it. Super hose and location

- Patricia, September 2024
Nick August 2024

“Amazing stay, really helpful owners, everything you could need and in a great spot for sightseeing, eating and drinking.”

Jim August 2024

“We really enjoyed our stay at Bailey House.”

We had a fantastic few days! Everyone was catered for from a 9 month old baby through to teenagers and to us adults. We would highly recommend to anyone thinking of staying as the cottage as it was beautiful, spacious modern and clean. Brilliant location and close to Scarborough, flamingo land and York which was perfect for our family and the dog. Thank you

- Jim, August 2024
Nicola August 2024

“We had an amazing stay at Bailey cottage, had a warm welcome from Olly who showed us round.”

The cottage was perfect and everything was as described. They really have thought of everything possible to make your stay a home from home.would highly recommend and we look forward to staying again. (We even made a lovely stew and a apple&rhubarb pie from the fruit vegetables in the garden) Thanks Nicky. Loved it.

- Nicola, August 2024
Sue August 2024

“We've just returned from a fantastic 3 night stay at Bailey House.”

The accommodation was excellent with everything we could possibly need (apart from some prosecco flutes!). The adults practically lived in the kitchen/diner area and the kids/teens took over the cosy living room. We loved the pool and the proximity to the pub! The bedrooms were comfortable with plenty of hanging space, 3 bathrooms which were spotlessly clean and beautifully decorated, especially the main larger one. We visited Scarborough, York and the York Maze whilst there, all within 40 mins drive. We are already planning a return visit next year!

- Sue, August 2024
Patrica August 2024

“Great size house and pool.”

Unfortunately when we went it was really hot and we couldn’t have windows open for smell, the house was full of flies. We understand it was a working farm but didn’t expect this. Phoned owner to say tumble dryer wasn’t working and it didn’t get fixed , to be fair he asked if we needed to use his . A tip for anyone take pegs to put washing out on line. They do supply every kitchen utensil you will ever need.

- Patrica, August 2024

We are very sorry the tumbler drier broke, we have replaced with a new one within 4 days. Sadly they couldn’t come any quicker. There were other driers available outside your house which we should have highlighted to you . Sadly when your are in the country there are flies we do try to provide fly spray my apologies if this wasn’t there. I can assure you your house was cleaned and fly free from 2 pm on the day of your arrival. Pegs have been bought, very useful thing to highlight easily sorted and obviously helpful. Property Owner
Susan August 2024

“We are a family of 7 and 2 dogs, we had a great time met the owner of the property, there is plenty of space for all of us to do and use the outside swimming pool and walk the dogs in the large garden opposite even though we had our own garden, there lots of places to visit the pub was just a 2 minute walk away.”

- Susan, August 2024
Keith July 2024

“We loved the property!”

Location is perfect with the Star Inn pub right across the road and local supermarkets within 10 minute drive. Garden was perfect for the dogs and we all enjoyed ourselves. Will be back again.

- Mark, June 2024
Richard June 2024

“Fantastic cottage, couldn’t fault.”

If anything the pictures didn’t do it justice, was a lot bigger than expected. The garden was bigger and more enclosed than we thought (dogs could go outside without worry). The property was immaculately clean and we felt very much at home within minutes of unpacking. Unsure if the pool was heated with solar panels but it was warmer than it looked. Only disappointment was we didn’t book for longer

Graham March 2024

“My family and I visited Bailey Cottage for a week in April to celebrate my wife’s retirement.”

The cottage is situated in a quiet village but with a local pub that serves decent food and is very welcoming. The cottage itself is superb. It has all the necessary equipment needed in the kitchen including three ovens, large fridge freezer, washing machine and drier. The bedrooms are well furnished and the beds are very comfortable. There are three bathrooms and a downstairs toilet and a comfortable lounge. We couldn’t have asked for more and we fully enjoyed our week and would recommend the cottage to anyone.

“Absolutely fabulous stay for 6 people!”

The house was stunning, had everything you needed for a home from home. Beautiful open kitchen with every utensil ypu could think of, lots of cleaning products, a cute little biscuit hamper, wine and milk on arrival. The property also benefitted with a large garden, with wooden games, a tennis court and swimming pool (although we knew thiswl was closed in winter). Would happily return for a visit in summer too!

- Adrian, February 2024
Brenda January 2024

“Absolutely immaculate house.”

On 3 levels, so it took our little dog a couple of days knowing which stairs went where! Such a comfy lounge, with a wood burner, wow does it throw some heat out with only 1 log burning! A fantastically equipped kitchen, 4 beautiful bedrooms, you could want for nothing. A very thoughtful welcome basket, plus a huge box of chocolates as it was my birthday whilst here. Shame about the weather, but end of January never is nice, but at least we went out every day. Would stay here again. Thank you to the owners.

- Brenda, January 2024
Nigel January 2024

“We had a lovely stay at Bailey house and enjoyed being together as a family.”

It was good to relax and ease into the new year gently. We’d love to stay again and will have a Labrador with us next time, so very happy with how dog friendly the property is. Beautiful spacious accommodation, and very cosy in winter with ground source heating and a great log burner. We can definitely recommend the Star Inn down in the village, a warm welcome and lovely food.
