The pretty village of Fadmoor, dotted with old stone cottages, nestles amidst the beautiful countryside of the North York Moors National Park, 2.5 miles from the attractive market town of Kirkbymoorside. Kirkbymoorside is a charming place with a slightly 'old fashioned feel', and visitors will find plenty to keep them occupied in the many tea rooms, pubs and restaurants there. There is even an 18-hole course for golf enthusiasts. The excellent walking and magnificent scenery of the National Park are on the doorstep, and there are many picturesque villages, such as Hutton-le-Hole, close by. Pickering, the base of the North York Moors Steam Railway, is a must for all visitors, or why not enjoy the area’s museums, castles, trout fishing and local market towns. In addition, both the city of York and the resorts of the East Coast are within easy driving distance.

So quiet and beautiful, plus heatwave so outside a lot. Met plenty of lovely people also enjoying their breaks. No hob, oven or microwave were used as situated close to several dog friendly pubs. We will definitely recommend and revisit. Pet Vax a nice touch. Telly not used until last evening, didn't manage to work out how to use, just managed radio channels, instructions would have been helpful, reverted to a DVD from the stack supplied. Nothing to diminish our lovely break, but some constructive feedback, which would have been nicer to do with a comment box in the lodge. Really not worth bothering the owner with at the time as end of season jobs. Kitchen under sink kickboard needs fixing, bit of a thump on the toe knuckles when washing up, falls off randomly, hubby wedged back up temporary fix. Dinning chairs showing signs of wear n tare, the sun beats down on these through the beautiful arched window so I should think this is causing them to age. No plug in the bathroom sink, didn't cause an issue, might for the next group. Vax hadn't been emptied by the previous people and filters blocked, hubby knew his way round the machine so sorted, worth putting on a cleaners/caretakers check list to ensure working. None of the above detract from the serenity of the beautiful site.
