We had a wonderful stay at the Threshing barn. Sandra was the most lovely host, going above and beyond to make us feel welcome. The cottage, gardens and surroundings were beautiful and the pool was spectacular. You can really see the the love and care that Sandra and Tom put in to create the holiday cottages, with such attention to detail. We did not want to leave and wouldn't hesitate to return again in the future!

We had a brilliant holiday at Red House Farm Threshing barn. The gym, pool and steam room are a fantastic facility to have on your doorstep and we used them everyday - well worth the extra payment. We had 'pub club' every evening in the games room next door to our cottage which has snooker and a darts board and plenty of seating. Glaisdale and surrounding area are beautiful and tranquil with lots to do nearby and great walks from the door. I recommend a sit by the pond everyday to listen to the birds and be with nature - very relaxing. Sandra is a kind and generous host and we felt truly welcomed.
