Guests say

This summary has been generated using feedback from guests who have stayed at this property

The Arches is a well-received cottage, praised for its stunning views, peaceful location, and cosy atmosphere. Guests appreciate the proximity to walking trails and local pubs, as well as the welcoming touches from the hosts. While most feedback is positive, a few guests suggest improvements in comfort and facilities.

Cleanliness

Reviews consistently mention that the cottage is clean and tidy, with only a couple of minor issues regarding a dishwasher and bathroom. The high level of cleanliness contributes to the overall positive experience.

Location

The location is highly praised for its breathtaking views, peacefulness, and proximity to local attractions and walking trails. The remote setting adds to the charm, although access via narrow roads is noted.

Comfort

Guests find the cottage cosy and the beds comfy, but there are comments about the need for better mattresses and sofa updates. The presence of a real fire adds to the comfort, despite some issues with TV reception.

Facilities

Facilities are generally well-received, with mentions of a fully equipped kitchen and good wifi. However, some guests note the need for additional kitchenware and updates to the bathroom, leading to a slightly lower score.

Thoughtfulness

Many guests mention thoughtful gestures such as a welcome basket with wine and biscuits. While these gifts are appreciated, it's important to note that such offerings are subject to change and may not be guaranteed for every stay.

About this property

A superb, semi-detached barn conversion situated on a traditional hill farm in Farndale, two miles from Low Mills. Lovingly renovated with many features such as an arched window in the sitting room, exposed beams, and an open fire, The Arches offers superb accommodation decorated and furnished to an excellent standard. Walkers can step out from the farm into the open countryside and enjoy the many footpaths and trails, and mountain bikers are well catered for with the numerous tracks and bridleways. Kirkbymoorside, Hutton-le-Hole and Helmsley are all also within easy reach. A perfect base for a relaxing holiday. Note: The Arches can be booked with Ref 1392, together they sleep 16.

The stunning valley of Farndale is in the North York Moors National Park and in spring there is a spectacular display of daffodils along the side of the River Dove. The fields are divided by ancient dry stone walls and the narrow lanes wind around the spectacular valley. The lovely old market town of Kirkbymoorside is 10 miles away and has a good selection of shops and restaurants as well as a market every Wednesday, when the stalls are set out on the charming cobbled streets. Pickering is home to the North York Steam Railway and trains run from here to Grosmont along an 18-mile stretch of glorious countryside. Walkers have many trails and footpaths to follow and this is a fabulous area for a holiday at any time of the year.
