Cottages On A Working Family Farm

It's always nice to get feedback and it was good to read this review by one of our guests posted on Room Check.

“Only wish we could have stayed longer! - Good quality self catering cottage on a busy working farm set in beautiful NYM countryside, close to Reivaux and handy for Helmsley. The only reason we didn't give top marks for staff service is that our stay was at the height of the lambing season so everyone was understandably rather busy! Lovely people when we did see them. Highly recommended. Kids wanted to know when we could return - even before we had left!"

Why not come and stay in one of our beautifully converted farm buildings and enjoy the sheep we have here at Valley View Farm. We have a large flock of sheep and ewes for lambing. We keep North Country Mules.

“Very pleasant and comfortable stay. - We were given a wonderful welcome tour of the cottage by Carol and enjoyed the fruit loaf with a cup of tea, after our long journey. Everyone at Valley View Farm were always ready to give helpful advice beit on interesting places to visit or places to eat. Well worth a stay. Only one minor point, the hot water was a little too hot."

Comfortable Cottage With Free WiFi

It's always nice to get feedback and it was lovely to read this review by one of our guests posted on Room Check.

“Excellent and very relaxing.”  - "The cottage was clean and tidy and the staff were very helpful. The cost was broadly comparable to other cottages in the area and we would certainly consider staying again as the location is superb: our young son is obsessed with tractors and farms, so he was in his element. Very impressed with the facilities and both a dishwasher and free WiFi were excellent additions to what one might usually expect. Overall, we had a lovely week and found the cottage very comfortable."
