A fantastic stay on the...

Liked: From the beginning to the end was absolutely wonderful. We received a warm welcome on arrival and shown to a wonderful room with garden views. The room was huge and so was the bed. I loved the file which had recommendations on things to do, restaurants along with the history of the farm dating back to 1600. We had delicious shortbread which we could refill on daily. The location was great, we walked to the deer park and to Fountains Abbey. Breakfast was absolutely delicious and all locally sourced. I had a full English and the pancakes on another day. The lemon curd which they make is to die for. We bought a jar and I've almost finished it. There is a field which has tulips in and we picked a beautiful bunch before leaving. Maggie said they also grow wild flowers in the summer for people to pick. Maggie and team re absolutely fantastic and make you feel so welcome. We will definitely be returning.

A lovely working farm house...

Liked: The breakfast was superb. There was huge choice and nothing was too much trouble. The quality of the food couldn't be bettered.The very large room was always warm and comfortable. The beds were the biggest I have seen.The B&B was very close to the main entrance to Fountains Abbey. (But note it is closed on Fridays in Winter).
Disliked: The entrance was a sharp turn from the road and easy to miss at first.
