High Paradise Farm aptly named as this place is truly magical. I loved the individual character of my room which had all amenities to make it a truly comfortable and relaxing stay. Well stocked kitchenette, lovely big bathroom and very comfortable bed. I particularly valued the privacy this place offered. Ginny (one of the owners) was around and extremely helpful and friendly. I love the ethos of this place and will definitely return come rain or shine.

Gorgeous setting, cute little courtyard, the owners dogs are roaming around and are defo a highlight!! We stayed in the Corn Store which was sooo cute, little roll top bath upstairs, gorgeous original features. The only thing that let it down for me was soooo many spiders which just comes with the age of the building I guess. But it got to the point where… let’s say… I found an alternative way to go for a wee which involved the outdoors simply to avoid the EIGHT spiders in the bathroom 😭 if you’re an arachnophobic this isn’t the place for you to stay 😂

We recently stayed at your farm on the 31st December
Whilst we loved the location and easy check in, we arrived at just gone 5pm and were disappointed with the cleanliness of the room, we do not think it had been cleaned at all since the last guests and likely longer than that.
In usual cases we would have let someone know, but as the cleanliness was several major things and not a quick fix, we didn’t want to ruin New years eve by not having a room and a staff member having to come do what was likely several hours worth of cleaning.
We of course did not expect perfection from a rustic farm and expected some cobwebs etc, but there were thick cobwebs everywhere. There were dead flies in the room, hairs on the countertops and on the kettle, scum and black mould all over the shower and sink, the floor was not hoovered and it was just generally very unclean and unloved. Again we would not expect perfection, but at £155 a night it isn’t exactly a budget room, and would have thought that cleanliness would have been the bare minimum.

Back off beyond down narrow winding lanes unlit at night so not for the timid driver. As we took our grandchildren 4 & 6 yrs old with us the 4 bedded Wild Goose Nest was ideal, clean albeit the floor was flag so with the best will in the world not grit free and not the best for walking on bare footed.

Great place to stay on a working farm. Room was spacious with a good kitchenette. There is a small, well stocked store to buy food/drinks onsite which is helpful as the location is not near shops. Location is great being right near the walking and cycling trails.

Absolutely loved this place. Lovely walking area, nice to sit in the courtyard on an evening. Could hear the farm animals in the morning, lovely clean area. The little shop is great too.
Unfortunately, the bed was a little on the small side and it was also extremely uncomfortable and neither of us managed much sleep. We were also both wary of climbing the stairs due to how steep they are. All personal preference. Otherwise extremely accommodating and welcoming. Thanks.

What a beautiful unique place hidden in the North Yorkshire countryside. Run by a lovely lady called Ginny who was so welcoming. She explained everything about the room, facilities and local walks. Loved the honesty shop. Had a great number of things to choose from, from hiking essentials (for sore feet!), to fresh eggs and pies. The room was perfect and very unique. So cosy that we fell asleep on the sofa! Loved waking up to the sound of the sheep, goats and geese. Would highly recommend a trip. We’ll definitely be back.

A fairly average experience. Host was friendly and greeted us on arrival. Breakfast advertised as additional with a surcharge on the website but was told our room was self catered and that they only offered butties from 9am on arrival.
Room was nice with log burner but didn't feel like paradise or luxury. Things like the upstairs being all bathroom with no door so you can hear everything downstairs.
The room didn't feel well put together with a dead wasp in the shower door guard, a very loose shelf on the bathroom mirror, nails sticking out of the wall, holes in the bathroom lino, a very insecure feeling skylight and all rooms attach to a main hall so privacy isn't something you get much of as well as you being able to hear every movement in the adjacent rooms.

Wonderful stay at a working farm

Wonderfully quirky stay on high paradise farm. We stayed in August and the rooms were still cold, so we lit the wood fire and snuggled in! Al fresco night was great and went to bed with full tummy’s.! Overall this is a great place to stay and I wouldn’t hesitate to return albeit with correct clothing. Eg warmer and not afraid to get a little dirty

The Mystery Man Who Came and Went

I arrived very late, just making the cut-off of 10:00 PM. The room was open and available with a note of explanation as to the reason for no one being available to receive me, with this being a working farm I fully understood. Everything was in order and I was given access to the Farm Shop on a TRUST basis. A very nice lasagne and a bread roll was retrieved from the freezer and cooked on the kitchen equipment, very nice.

I departed early the next morning, fresh and ready for the day.

Thank you :-)

Wintery weekend

Cosy little place for a couples weekend away. The fire was pre lit which made it extra cosy and warm on a very wintery weekend. A few cobwebs and spiders were spotted, and the pillows could do with being replaced but all in all a lovely little place.

No doubt it is the luck of the draw if other guests are loud, but I had a lovely and restful stay and a killer breakfast and met some amazing doggos.

We had to leave before the tea room officially opened, but they let us get coffee and cake early. Would stay there again, and would bring friends!

Wonderful to be in Paradise!

Another wonderful stay in Paradise - cannot recommend this gorgeous spot enough. It is isolated, make sure you bring your supplies with you, but with cooking and refrigeration facilities provided it’s perfect. Rural bliss, a walkers/cyclists dream, switch off from the stresses of normal life and relax! Wi-fi available though of course, so you can still keep up if you need to. Ginni is a perfect host, help if needed, always with a smile, but left to yourself if you prefer. A gorgeous tea room, loads of outside space in good weather, cosy fireside cuppas if not! Fabulous fabulous fabulous retreat from the world in stunning surroundings.

The location is on the Cleaveland Way and as such is fantastic as stopping point. The tea room and court yard is charming and food good which serves hot and cold food and drink. Breakfast if ordrred was self cook but with one small frying pan and basic hob slowed down our morning walk alot. Plus as we stayed and paid for two nights was a bit upset at day two's breakfast not being provided. Plus communication is poor, called twice and made to feel like it was an incovienience, have sent 3 emails but had no reply either before or after stay only automated ones. Room cleanliness could have also been better. Recommend using camp site and saving what money whilst getting same experience.

WOW Where do I start.

When booking I thought rooms were quite expensive but I was using the Tesco clubcard vouchers so this vastly reduced the cost. How wrong was I. The rooms and farm itself are worth every penny and more.

idyllic farm , cosy rooms a real retreat

We were walking the Cleveland Way and decided to stay here first night - after a long day of walking and arriving later than expected (And soaking wet) we were welcomed with a log burner and carrot cake ! We had missed the tea rooms being open but the lovely lady offered to get us fish and chips from nearby town - the rooms are lovelY and cosy and staff very helpful !! The farm itself is idyllic- animals everywhere! Perfect place to go for walking and getting away from it all - there was even ear plugs in the room just in case the cockerel decides to wake everyone up !

A great spot and convenient for both walkers or people with their own transport. It is a working farm so be prepared for early morning noises - roosters crowing at daybreak etc. Hosts are friendly and obliging. Our room had hotplates, a 'fridge, sink and microwave, so self-catering is quite easy.

Right on the Cleveland Way which I was walking. Ginny was lovely and helpful. It is self catering, but you can arrange for food in the fridge for breakfast. I also asked for an evening meal and arrived to the aroma of a Bolognese sauce in the slow cooker - most welcome after a long hike. The views are very pretty and their are lots of animals on the farm - goats, ducks, horses and hens roaming about the farmyard.

Can't wait to go back to Paradise!

This is our second visit to High Paradise Farm in as many weeks and we would go straight back too if we had the chance, it is a slice of paradise, hidden away from the world! We stayed in The Dairy and, with it's cooking facilities, (small oven/hob combo, fridge & microwave plus utensils, etc), we were able to cater for ourselves in the evening, as well as being able to enjoy a breakfast sarnie, a light lunch, or a scone and cuppa in the afternoon at the tearoom. Best of all worlds. The Dairy is great, as you have your bedroom and shower room, along with a large lounge area, complete with wood burner making it very cosy on the chilly evenings. Remember to take a fleece or jumper for evenings, as you are as high up in the hills as you can be, so it is a few degrees colder, even on the hottest days. Ginni is a very welcoming host, nothing is too much trouble and we felt really at home. Added to this is the absolutely stunning scenery on the doorstep and too many walks to fit into just one trip, easy to do with your OS map to hand. If you want to get away from life for a little while, this should be top of your list - just remember to take everything you think you'll need, as there's no corner shop here! Just gorgeous.
