We stayed in Buttercup cottage and it was absolutely lovely. It was much larger than we expected and was well stocked with everything we needed. It was also very well maintained and the biscuits, cake and milk were a nice welcoming touch. It was perfect for our stay, it’s tucked away in the country but only a short drive or walk to the nearest local shops / pubs. I was able to walk easily to the local convenience store in Castleton. It’s a great location for exploring the wider area whether you want to go further inland or to the beach - it’s easy for both options. Rachel and Rory were fantastic hosts, they were on hand to help with questions and had left really helpful information about the area ands things to see and do in the cottage. The parking was ample as well which was good for us as we were travelling with two vehicles. If we come back to the area I would definitely stay here again!

The whole experience was excellent, would highly recommend to friends and family as a place to stay. Our hosts, Rachel and Rory were always very helpful and you felt you could ask them anything. The location was delightful with wildlife around and about.

Thank you so much for an exceptional break, a total delight.

Snowdrop cottage at Church House Farm is a gem. The views across the North York Moors from the windows are stunning. The garden lovely and all so peaceful. Everything in the cottage is well appointed, and the hosts Rachel and Rory are welcoming and attentive. We hope to return.

What a glorious week

We have just returned from a wonderful week on the North York Moors. The beauty of the moors was just added to by our amazing accommodation - extremely comfortable, spotlessly clean and so well equipped. Rachel and Rory were excellent hosts, their local knowledge was invaluable and nothing was too much trouble. We rate our stay 10/10, we cannot recommend it highly enough. Thank you

Relaxing Buttercup Cottage

We stayed in Buttercup cottage. We were greeted by our host Rachel and made to feel very welcome. The cottage was spotlessly clean with everything we could need. The bedrooms were upstairs, a twin room which looked out over the countryside and also had velux windows for star gazing and the double room with velux windows. Downstairs was very spacious with a comfortable lounge, lovely dining room with a big table to eat round and take in the views, great kitchen with everything you need and so clean and a big bathroom with shower over the bath. We parked right outside our door. The garden had some lovely spots to sit in and listen to the wildlife around. We slept so well in comfortable beds and loved how peaceful and relaxing the place made us feel.
We are already looking forward to planning our next stay.

The icing on the cake was a delicious Yorkshire Brack cake waiting for us on our arrival and to top it all Rachael made us a cake half way through our visit. The accommodation was excellent.

Countryside get away

This place is on the moors, near to a village with a pub providing very good food. It was very comfortable and apart from our bedroom, we had the use of a living room with TV which was great. We had a warm welcome, good breakfast and enjoyed our stay immensely. There is a herd of young cows on the farm which graze in the fields and can be seen from the B&B. Absolutely rural bliss.

Comfortable and cosy cottage in the country

What a delightful place. A spacious self-catering cottage down a country road outside of Danby. Warm. Comfortable settee. Very comfortable bed. Great ensuite although we found the shower cubicle as little smaller than what we are used to. Good hot water flow though. The little kitchen had everything necessary for our stay of one week. However, Daisy Cottage doesn't have a washing machine if you do need one but our hosts let us use the washing machine in another cottage. The internet was a little challenging. Again our hosts went to great lengths to ensure that we had wifi capacity for most of the time. As overseas travellers this is an important aspect to us. Great views from the windows.

Charming B&B, excellent accommodation.

Church House Farm was a exceptional B&B beautifully decorated and and spotlessly clean. The breakfast an array of cereals and cooked full English. The hosts were very pleasant indeed and and went out of their way to provide information about the local area and walks etc. We definitely recommend it. We stayed there to join our friends who were completing the Coast to Coast walk.

Room was very big for the price we paid and very well equipped. Clearly they put a lot of thought into their customers needs.
The included breakfast was stunning and fresh and they have options for everyone's needs.

Peace & quiet

Had a very warm welcome, easy check in, well, hardly a check in, more a friendly chat and a brief description of the best place to get some food. The cottage is small but very warm and comfortable with everything you need already there so all you need to do is unpack. The area is gorgeous, right in the middle of nowhere with cows your only noisy neighbours. Honestly the most restful place I've ever stayed.

Perfect retreat in the North Yorkshire Moors

Lovely hosts at this small bed and breakfast. There are also cottages to rent but we stayed in the guest house. Gorgeous room with two deep windows looking out towards an old church and the open countryside beyond. Garden below our room was teeming with birds. Really lovely, freshly cooked breakfast. The owners are genuine animal lovers. Nothing was too much trouble, they are known to run you or pick you up from the local pub. We used our own car but the other couple were picked up because it was such a terrible night weather wise. Would definitely stay again without a doubt.

Beautiful Homely Cottage

I stayed in Daisy Cottage with my 5 Year old son the location of this cottage is great, away from the busy tourist areas but close enough to visit most of what North Yorkshire has to offer. Whitby, Saltburn and the North Yorkshire Railway is close by. The owners were very welcoming, lovely scones with jam we're waiting on the table when we arrived. The Cottage was very well equipped and spotlessly clean. Daisy Cottage has one bedroom but the owners supplied a very comfortable foldaway bed for my son and the bedroom was large enough for this to fit in comfortably. We had a lovely time and would highly recommend Church House Farm.
