Beautiful Location & Cottage Clean And Comfortable

It's always nice to get feedback and it was lovely to read this review by one of our guests posted on Room Check.
“Beautiful location, cottage clean and comfortable. The setting for these cottages is ideal if you want peace and quiet. It is a bit remote but as long as you have transport that is not a problem just remember to stock up while you are out as there is not a local shop! The cottage itself was spotlessly clean and comfy. Well equipped kitchen. Lots to see and do in Yorkshire. Whitby abbey is a must see and the James Herriott museum in Thirsk is great especially for children. Also for a great and FREE outing , Yorkshire Lavender is a great place to visit. Stunning scenery and the wonderful frangrance of lavender , also great cream teas. We hope to stay here again."

Granary Cottage An Excellent Holiday Cottage

 It's always nice to get feedback and it was lovely to read this review by one of our guests posted on Trip Advisor.
"Excellent Holiday cottage. Warm, spacious, has all the requirements you need to either snuggle down in a blizzard or venture out into the beautiful countryside. Lovely kitchen, one that cooks who like to experiment can enjoy and make the most of local food. Beds very comfortable, all ensuite & downstairs bedroom/shower room perfect for my elderly parents. Our dogs were made most welcome, with no quibbles about size or hidden extra costs, and they enjoyed themselves too. Plenty of walks direct from cottage, but you have some of the best of Yorkshire within a half hour drive. Check out VV Farm website for full details of where to go and what to see, but NY Moors railway, Whitby and Rievaulx Abbey all a must see. We have stayed four times, all in depths of Winter (and we are talking serious snow here), but had fun as in 4x4s. This cottage has an extra to be found no where else! Ladies, this is the home of Ample Bosom, a fantastic place to purchase some fabulous underwear. This is farm diversity at its very best. You can try on what you want, while you stay. Finally, this is a seriously welcoming stay, with a lovely Yorkshire Tea on arrival, all the comforts you might need, and the loveliest of hard working people on hand to help if required. "

Relaxing Stay At Valley View Farm

 It's always nice to get feedback and it was lovely to read this review by one of our guests posted on Room Check.
“Lovely, relaxed stay. - Everything was lovely, the delicious cake and tea things left for us were greatly appreciated after a long drive from the highlands. Just a minor irritation was that the televisions in the bedrooms did not appear to work at all and were very outdated as was the set in the main room although we were able to receive some channels on this. Didn't disrupt our holiday though as the children were better off for a tv break! Wish there had been a visitor book and also some local information rather than out of date leaflets for whole of Yorkshire. Other than that a really lovely, beautifully decorated place to stay."

Cottage Cleanliness & Staff Service Excellent

It's always nice to get feedback and it was lovely to read this review by one of our guests posted on Room Check.
“Very Good. Would go again and recommend. The cleanliness and staff service was excellent. Value for money only 4* because holiday cottages anywhere in UK are dear compared to trip abroad. Location only 4* because it would not be ideal for a late autumn winter stay if weather bad as very narrow roads from farm. Services and Facilities - only facilities apply really in a cottage and they were very good."

Scampston Autumn Plant Fair 6th October 2013

For all you plant lovers and garden enthusiasts I just thought that I would let you know that Scampston Autumn Plant Fair will take place on Sunday 6th October 2013 at The Walled Garden at Scampston.

Lots of specialist nurseries and stalls selling garden related items will be attending the Plant Fair. All of the stalls will have excellent plants and products for sale and refreshments will be available.

Scampston Hall is the home to the stunning Walled Garden and Grounds, the beautiful contemporary garden, the gardens only became open to the public for the first time in 2004, people visit from all over the world and it has been received with great acclaim.  Open for a short period during the late spring, and sitting in its own, more traditional gardens, the Hall is one of the finest country houses in Yorkshire. Lovingly restored by the Legards, it is a family home and contains many fine works of art, furniture and china.

Why not treat yourself to a few days away, here at Valley View Farm Cottages, as we are just 27 miles away from the Walled Garden at Scampston.
