  A beautiful, cosy cottage set in idyllic countryside. The Calf Pans have been restored to a very high standard, and the underfloor heating is amazing! A perfect location for the children to play outside, with lots of ducks, cats, pheasants, lambs and deer to spot. The owner is very friendly and kind, making us feel very welcome. The added extras of eggs, bread and some treats for the grown-ups and children made for a really personalised touch. There is lots to do and see in the surrounding area too. Masham has lots to offer - a weekly market, some great cafes and pubs, lots of local produce for sale. We very much enjoyed the Easter trail around the town centre! Other highlights were a visit to Stump Cross Caverns. A fantastic family day out, and a really good cafe too. We also visited Thorp Perrow Arboretum and Bird of Prey Sanctuary. The bird of prey talk was the best I have ever been to! There seems to be lots of lovely gardens (National Trust/RHS) to visit in the surrounding area, so will come and visit again in the summer months to see some of these places. Thank you very much for a fantastic stay. We will be back!

  Scarbeck House was excellent for our week in Masham. We used it as a base for many very good walks in the local area and never used our car. It is very well equipped with loads of good crockery and cutlery and a very well equipped kitchen with lots of worktop space. The beds were all comfortable although the room at the top of the house was a little cold and not very spacious but would be ideal for children in warmer months. The road outside was quite busy and large lorries seemed to start passing from around 5am (weekdays) and went on for most of the day, but there is not much that can be done about that. The owner phoned a few days before we arrived and was very helpful and friendly. All five of us in the group, agreed it was an excellent place to stay and it's very likely we will be back again, either in the same group or with our families. I would have no hesitation in recommending Scarbeck House.

  This house is a lovely place for a family to relax and enjoy time together. Masham is a fantastic location, so much right on the doorstep so you hardly need drive although we explored Ripon and a nearby abbey. Walking with dogs and kids is great, market on your front door, pubs nearby and the breweries were all great places to visit. With art and coffee shops, two butchers and a fantastic grocers we enjoyed local produce as well as the pubs and the fish and chips – excellent! House is a brilliant size, rooms clean and well equipped with lovely bathrooms and lots of hot water. So nice to have the option of an open fire and so much space for all the family – huge fridge and two ovens as we like to cook, perfect! Easy to clean floor meant the dogs were fine on the ground floor and the games room was enjoyed by all. We loved the area, loved the house and really enjoyed a wonderful weekend.

  We had a wonderful break with three generations of family and our dog visiting the ancestorial home of Masham, even though one grandparent had recently broken his hip after the holiday had been booked the owners where very accommodating, even the stairs on the first two levels where manageable under the circumstances, the house had everything needed to enjoy a comfortable stay and there are still the wonderful places to eat like the Kings arms and a local café that provided our lunch time menu very efficiently, the garden is fully enclosed with a back gate / path to get you to the front of the house, this was ideal for muddy paws and wellies to clean off before accessing the kitchen area. We also received a lovely welcome pack and a postcard ( which I forgot to take home with me!! )welcoming us to the property. I would certainly recommend this property and will be back in the future.

  We could not believe how wonderful the calf pens are, located just a handful of miles of the beautiful Yorkshire dales and a mile from the quaint little town of Masham boasting two magnificent breweries. Calf pens is well located approximately 3/4 mile from the main road so it is very quiet and peaceful with the river ure passing close by. Full marks to Mrs prue keigwin owner of calf pens whom has supplied a top grade holiday let, everything you need is there, fully equipped kitchen two lovely sized bedrooms with either single beds or they can be joined to make into super king sized beds, the bathroom has a large walk in shower, and the lounge/dining room is large with good sized tv freeview box DVD player, wood burner and the throughout the property which is on one level is a beautiful heated tiled floor.
