Had a wonderful stay at Five Acres. The area is spectacular and especially enjoyed the recommended The Owl at Hawnby. The property did not disappoint at all and was extremely comfortable for me, my family and our two little dogs. The host was great and we really appreciated the little welcome pack. I’m sure we’ll be back.
