  The pictures dont do the justice of this stunning cottage.

  It locates in the owners farm and also has good access to coastal towns. The property itself is very spacious with a beautifully maintained garden. Its enclosed so our dog could wander freely without me checking him constantly. He went to front open space too where he interacted with the owners dogs and explored their barn. The views over the field was just breathtaking. My partner stood by the window upstairs hours daily reading and enjoying the scenery there. The horses were magnificent and my partner just fell in love with Max. The sheep had a funny character approaching me for a petting. They kept barrbarring until I noticed them and gave them some good attention. The owner was very helpful and offered us to use their tumble dryer as the weather was wet during our stay. We didnt find kitchen scissors and tongs but managed without them, so didnt bother to ask the owners. The only thing I would say is the washing machine door seals might need a change. But it doesnt stop us visiting again. All in all, this is a great accommodation. Well done Robert and Joanna for your effort put into it

  A perfect weekend to switch off from normal day to day life, the weather was nice for a change so we were able to sit out for breakfast and chill in the gorgeous garden, which is completely private.

  The hot tub was so relaxing and sheltered so also private. The garden has a few security lights up so was well lit for you to stay out in the dark. The beds were comfortable and we all slept well both nights. Kitchen facilities were great, everything you needed down to kitchen foil. We didn’t really use the sitting room much as we were outside but it was cosy for the tiny bit time we did sit in it. Both hosts were friendly and approachable and explained the basics when we arrived. It was nice to know they were close by (as the properties are attached) if we needed anything without them being in your face, added security is always good. We loved the peaceful surroundings and being surrounded by horses and sheep when we ventured out for our walks was a real treat. The whole weekend from start to finish was perfect, couldn't fault a thing. Thank you for making us welcome and will definitely be returning.

  A wonderfully relaxing break in the quiet village of Swinton in the Howardian Hills.

  Stayed here for two weeks as refugees from a kitchen refit and enjoyed it immensely. Rob & Claire were perfect hosts and gave us several useful tips on enjoying the area. The Bothy is a comfortable barn conversion style cottage, smart, comfortable, well equipped and easy to stay in. We had our dog with us and she enjoyed it too, making good friends with Rob & Claires Spaniel. Highly recommend this place for the lovely area ( Castle Howard & Ampleforth nearby & East Coast only 20 mins away with the North York Moors on the doorstep) and the peace and quiet. We would certainly come back here again.

  Lovely accommodation for two (plus our small dog).

  Very clean and comfortable with a constant supply of hot water and heating. Off road parking and a very peaceful location. Owners on hand if required and we very much enjoyed the homemade brownies after our long journey. Great to have a dishwasher, full fridge and freezer and a washing machine for such a compact property. We also loved the two large chairs in the bedroom. The Bothy is very cosy and well positioned for exploring the local area. We got to visit lots of places including York, Helmsley, National Trust properties, Castle Howard and Eden Camp.

  Excellent property with excellent hosts.

  Beautiful, clean, well equipped, cosy cottage in a great position for exploring N Yorks Moors & Howardian Hills. We booked a last minute stay over Easter week, welcoming communication from owners who despite being away themselves over the holiday, popped over to say hello & goodbye on either side. Would not hesitate to recommend The Bothy to anyone looking to visit the area, many fabulous restaurants & foodie pubs within a short drive and close enough to visit the N Yorks Coast. Thank You Rob & Claire for a wonderful break.
