Beautiful spot for a stay on a working dairy farm with fantastic views and hot tub. Clean, great amenities, fantastic host who gave us a tour round. Heaven!
Lovely property in a beautiful quite location. The property had everything you needed. Our host Julie was welcoming and made a gorgeous afternoon tea. Would recommend for anyone looking for a relaxing weekend with Children and Dog. Would definitely stay again.
In the middle of nowhere, but not far from shops, restaurants etc. Lovely views. Sounds of farm animals. Dogs had an enclosed garden. Hot tub is an added bonus. Will definitely recommend
Myself and two friends stayed here for a weekend. What a little gem this place is!! Utterly amazing views, beautiful cottage and the hosting farm dogs were our best friends by the end of our stay! We will definately be returning! Ps the hot tub was fab!
Absolutely wonderful. The calf shed had all the required amenities. Very clean and the beds were extremely comfortable. Fabulous peaceful location with amazing views. We made the best of the hot tub which was a bonus. The lovely cakes left on our arrival were a nice touch too!! Would highly recommend

Absolutely loved our stay, we will be returning in the summer!
Fabulous cottage and just what we needed. Having 2 dogs the enclosed garden was great and we could sit and admire the views whilst they sniffed around. The living area was very well equipped and cosy. Fabulously quiet - we hardly heard the cows. The large bedrooms and modern en-suites were lovely. Parking was no problem. We didn't use the hot tub. It feels like you are in the middle of nowhere but only 20 minutes into Harrogate and you have all the facilities. Definitely on the list for a return visit.
Lovely few days at this farm cottage hosted by Julie. The cottage is very well equipped and the beds were the most comfortable we’ve had at any cottage! The location is beautiful with fantastic views across open countryside and the hot tub fab to come home to. Julie also gave us a tour of the cow and nursery sheds which was interesting and eye opening. Would defo Italy recommend.
My partner and I booked in for a 3 night break in the old calf shed. Wow what a place. Fantastic views of the valley (i would suggest binoculars to watch the birds of prey) while you sit in the hot tub. Everything needed for a self catering break is in the kitchen. We had asked for the afternoon tea which didn't fail to impress either. Those cakes were to die for. Julie is such a lovely host, she took us for a walk around the farm talking to us all the time explaining how everything worked and looking at the calfs. We had a fantastic break and will definitely book again.
Lovely countryside place if you're needing a break away from the city, but still only a short drive away from Otley town centre with lots to do there and plenty of places for walks! we will 100% be booking again and have already sent the links to friends!
