  We booked Old Station Farm for my partner's 60th birthday celebration.

  It was ideal for our party of a dozen. The cottage is very well-equipped, particularly the kitchen. It is spacious and comfortable, with the dining room an especially good social space. The Aga was excellent for cooking breakfasts for the whole party and keeping everything warm in one of the ovens so we could all eat together. There was always enough crockery, cutlery and glasses for everyone, and the dishwasher is very efficient. The location is excellent, with Malton and Pickering very close by, and York and Scarborough not much further away. Castle Howard is just minutes away, but we didn't have time to go there on this occasion. I've been before, though, and would recommend it if you have a day to spend taking in the lovely grounds, and inside the house if you must - I'm not much of a one for looking at other people's old furnishings and china and preferred the outdoor part. The house is a beautiful building, though, and it's obvious why it has featured in TV productions. The local Cantonese restaurant is just a very short walk away and its food is excellent, providing eat-in or takeaway facilities. We placed our large order a few hours ahead because it was such a big order and it was ready right on time. The staff were lovely. For parties who don't want to have to cook, there are plenty of other nice-looking eating places just a short drive away. On our visit, the weather was very wet and windy, which meant we couldn't take advantage of the lovely garden and outdoor seating, though I suppose we could have done had we put on the weatherproof clothes we'd all brought. Perhaps we've just got soft now that we're older :-) Next time, though. We felt at home immediately in the cottage and would thoroughly recommend it, even for people younger than we are. It was a thoroughly successful stay.

  We had a wonderful holiday at Green End House.

  The house was exactly as pictured, spotlessly clean and there was so much space for us all. The cupboards full of games, books and dvds were brilliant for rainy days and the table tennis table was a huge hit. The bbq and hot tub were also much appreciated! The village was perfectly placed for some lovely days out at Brimham Rocks, Lightwater Valley and Thorpe Perrow. The local pub - just a five minute stroll from the house - was super friendly with tasty, reasonably priced food for all the family. Notes for the owner: We would have liked a working dvd player in the super comfy red room- we couldn't get the telly to work in there at all; instructions for how to work the dishwasher in the utility room (loaded it, then couldn't figure out how to turn it on!) and Mum says to mention that the en-suite door in the second bedroom doesn't stay shut. These are teeny tiny niggles - our holiday, and the house, were absolutely fantastic and we would love to return someday. Thank you so much for the beautiful house and all of the helpful information you left for us, we had a brilliant time.

  A stunning, spacious and comfortable large property in a lovely location.

  It provided a great base to celebrate my 50th birthday with family/friends. The kitchen is huge and has everything (and more) than you would need for a comfortable stay. The downstairs space includes three living areas providing plenty of space to spread out. Upstairs, are five good sized bedrooms. The master suite is just incredible- stylishly designed and cavernous. The table football and table tennis are fun additions and there are a plethora of games/DVDs to use. Good location nearby to Ripon and Thirsk and just a hop off the A1M1. There is also good cycling from the house on fairly flat/minor road and plenty of space to store bikes. Suzy the owner is fabulous, contacting you before and during your stay to make sure all is well. All in all a truly wonderful location/house to provide the backdrop for a get together and where special memories can be made. Highly recommended.

  Emma was a brilliant host, we received a very warm welcome and were provided with complimentary items, such as croissants, bread,milk and juice which was very thoughtful.

  The house is stunning, the kitchen/ dining area was a fantastic space to socialise with the rest of the guests. The whole house is equipped for all needs (two dishwashers!) and plenty more. The house also includes a downstairs room with disabled access with a large walk in shower/wet room. All rooms are furnished beautifully and the bedding/pillows are such lovely quality. The whole house is immaculate with beautiful finishing, especially the barn gate hanging from the ceiling which was an amazing feature in the kitchen. As we were celebrating a 60th birthday, we found the location was great for a country getaway as well as a short taxi journey to Northallerton where we booked brunch at The Potting Shed. Overall the weekend was perfect and beyond our expectations, it is the nicest holiday home we’ve visited, definitely recommend this beautiful home!

  Old Station Farm is a spacious period property in beautiful surroundings that was well-suited to our family holday for 7 adults and 5 young children.

  The dining room is huge and the lounge has adequate comfortable seating. The family bathroom is better suited as an en-suite to one of the twin rooms which is how we used it but this left the children having to use the en-suites in their parents' rooms. The addition of a downstairs cloakroom would have made things easier, as would some more attention to detailed maintenance - we noticed doors that would not shut properly and taps that were very stiff to turn on and off. Outside there was adequate off-street parking for 5 cars. We made use of the BBQ and the garden was a useful play area for the children but again would benefit from some improved maintenance. All in all a very enjoyable stay but with a little effort could have been made even better.
