The owner Carol was always available for help and advice about the area I would say she goes above and beyond in this department. Itâs a very peaceful farm location with an access road without tarmac. My mother in law loved her downstairs bedroom with en-suite wet room she spent more time in there than we expected. The location is handy for visiting Harrogate and catching a train into York. We had a meal locally in Spofforth at the castle inn which was nice but expensive. Also went to The Guy Fawkes Arms in Scotton 20 minutes away approximately. I highly recommend this place. Food was fresh tasty and very reasonably priced. Overall we enjoyed this experience very much.
