I had booked the house and thought at least the owner could have come to meet me, we did not even have a small carton of milk or anything to start us off as we could have chosen many places that at least have some sort of welcome pack, just as well we came prepared. We were told nothing about the property as to workings etc we had hot towel rails the first morning but after that they were cold, the hot tub had no switch to turn off, we did not know if it was automatic, I did not use it but my granddaughter loved it, her mum took her in one evening, the weather was horrendous but to keep her happy they went in, there was a clip to hold the lid together but it was broken and that night there was a blustery wind the cover was blown open and we did not notice as it was around the side of the property, I was going out with my dogs to be greeted by a very rude man, donât know who he was moaning about the hot tub which I had no clue about. Night before leaving my son in law politely asked if we could charge my car as the local charger did not work and he was told he had already used too much electricity etc the owner was very rude and turned his back, my son in law tried to explain that he had closed the hot tub, the gale we had that night must have blown open the top of the hot tub, why would he leave it open deliberately? He is very careful. On leaving my daughter took off her bedding and I commented that she should not take off pillow protectors she told me the bed was not made up no duvet cover or pillowcases, they had decided to give my granddaughter the bedroom with the en-suite as she has special needs but I did not know the bedroom they were in was not made up or I would have questioned the owners as they knew there were six of us. The house is lovely and well furnished and has most things you need. Beds are comfortable and towels provided are huge and lovely and soft. There could have been hooks on the bathroom doors that would be handy for dressing gown etc, no toilet roll holders and no grab rails in showers, showers were good if you wanted an overhead drench shower but handheld one should really have a swivel holder so that you could aim water without having to hold the shower head, my disabled husband had great difficulty with this, there could have been a shower seat, we brought our own. There was liquid soap in bathrooms, dishwasher tablets, washing up liquid and cloths, no coffee machine but a cafetière was provided. On reading the listing I imagined a lovely walk along the beck with a proper pathway hoping that my disabled husband could use his mobility scooter but you are tramping through a field dodging sheep poo and as we had so much rain we were just walking in mud. This is not a place for children as nothing to do not even a swing park. North Yorkshire villages and towns are beautiful but this is a place for serious hill walkers. The rude owner should be ashamed of himself as the incident with the hot tub was not deliberate as we as a family who respect other peoples property.

The owners are very welcoming without being intrusive. We had a fantastic week and will certainly consider staying here again next time we visit the area.

Beds were really comfortable and the furnishings were all good quality. Sited in a great location on the farm and easy access to surrounding sites The only thing that I found slightly disappointing was the size of the oven and number of bigger saucepans. As it is a house for 8 it was tricky to cook roast dinner for this number. Otherwise everything else was really good and we had a lovely stay
