Beautiful house and location. Very well appointed and cared for. Landlord was responsive when we had a problem with the heating, and the problem was resolved within hours, even though it was a Sunday and a plumber was needed. Nice goodies basket/fridge items on arrival. Very clean. Booking, arrival, and our stay were all very well organized by the landlord and Yorkshire Hideaways. Many thanks to all.

We had a wonderful time celebrating the New Year with our family at Pasture house. Beautifully renovated and comfortable farmhouse with plenty of space for us all plus our two dogs. The house was well equipped and kept us lovely and warm with the Aga and plenty of logs supplied for the fires during what was a very cold windy week. We enjoyed the bracing walk along the track and over the field to the Buck inn in Thornton Watlass for real ales and a warm welcome . Pasture house is located up a long track on a working farm and we enjoyed the peaceful setting with beautiful sun rises and no road noise! Watching the resident barn owl each day was a highlight . Bedale was only a short drive away and had everything we needed for the week . We hope to return some day! Thank you .
