Ghyll Crest Reviews

Cannot fault anything on our stay here, would happily stay again. Kitchen Dining Area Everything possible provided to make a meal. We found the 2 dishwashers was very handy with 10 of staying. Huge dining table so we could all sit down and enjoy our evening. The wine fridge was a nice touch aswell. Bedrooms and Bathroom All bedrooms and bathrooms were immaculate, despite the house being full it was also very quiet while sleeping. Wasn't disturbed by friends who were up earlier than me. Outside Area Patio Area and Jacuzzi were perfect, the pagola over the jacuzzi kept the winds out and provided spectacular views for as far as the eye can see. Drive easily fit 5 big cars on, bins and recycling area provided. Surrounding Area Lovely walks nearby and friendly country pubs 1010

Emma was a brilliant host, we received a very warm welcome and were provided with complimentary items, such as croissants, bread,milk and juice which was very thoughtful. The house is stunning, the kitchen dining area was a fantastic space to socialise with the rest of the guests. The whole house is equipped for all needs two dishwashers! and plenty more. The house also includes a downstairs room with disabled access with a large walk in showerwet room. All rooms are furnished beautifully and the beddingpillows are such lovely quality. The whole house is immaculate with beautiful finishing, especially the barn gate hanging from the ceiling which was an amazing feature in the kitchen. As we were celebrating a 60th birthday, we found the location was great for a country getaway as well as a short taxi journey to Northallerton where we booked brunch at The Potting Shed. Overall the weekend was perfect and beyond our expectations, it is the nicest holiday home weve visited, definitely recommend this beautiful home!
Rachel
We were a group of 8 and spent a wonderful week here. Immaculate spacious accommodation, extremely well equipped with everything we could possibly need and lots of thoughtful extra touches which we werent expecting. Beds very comfortable. Weve stayed in a quite a few lodges over the years and would say this is the best weve been to. Would definitely recommend and hope to return one day!
A beautiful property that had pretty much everything we could need already available. Its spacious and has been finished to a high standard. We had a fantastic weekend relaxing and celebrating it was exactly what wed hoped for. The owner was very welcoming and super helpful. Well definitely be returning
Debbie
Wow! Dont let the lack of reviews on this property put you off booking, this is a new property to the holiday let market and oh my word! What a property. It is finished to the highest standard, there is nothing lacking. The view out over the balcony is just stunning and the addition of the well maintained hot tub just tops the whole experience off. Well done Emma this is a credit to you!
Stayed with a group for my partners birthday, and we were all absolutely blown away by the place. It's huge, decorated beautifully and has everything we needed. The kitchen is well equipped with quality appliances, everything was super clean and the host was really friendly and accomodating. The location is great, with a gorgeous view regardless of the weather. We're likely turning this into an annual visit, beautiful place.
Rachel
We had a fantastic stay. Everything has been thought about and put into place. The place is furnished beautifully and to a high standard throughout. The location is ideal for excursions or local walks. Emma was extremely responsive and helpful at every turn. I highly recommend a stay here as soon as you can!

Big Sheep - EX39 5AP
about 11 Miles
This is a recommended day out for families with young children visiting the Bedale area of Yorkshire.  Visit the farm and receive a warm welcome as well as a guided tour.  You will have the chance to bottle feed the lambs, bath a pig and handle some of the smaller animals.  Kids will love the big sandpit and the outdoor play area. There is also a cafe and indoor play area for when the weather is not on your side.
Lightwater Valley - HG4 3HT
about 14 Miles
Situated in the Ripon area of North Yorkshire this popular theme park makes a fantastic day out for the whole family.  The more daring will love the big and thrilling rides such as Raptor Attack, The Ultimate and Trauma Tower.  For the little ones there are some excellent attractions such as Flying Camels, Dodgems and a Magic Wheel.  Toddlers will like the Dragon Boats and the Lightwater Express amongst other things. There are over 40 rides and attractions in total and we think this is excellent value for money too.  If you book your tickets in advance online you can save even more money and beat the queues.
Yorkshire Lavender - YO60 6PB
about 18 Miles
Yorkshire Lavender is an amazing award winning attraction offering breathtaking panoramic views of York, a Café, Plant Nursery and Lavender Gardens. The 60 acre site is set in an area of outstanding natural beauty and is an excellent choice for a day trip.

Fountains Abbey - HG4 3DY
about 18 Miles
This is an outstanding world heritage site located close to Ripon in the North Yorkshire area. Nature lovers will be in their element with an abundance of wide open spaces to explore and there are special guided tours for families.  Some of the highlights may include seeing wild deer and bats during your visit.  The grounds are fantastic to wander round but there is also an Elizabethan Mansion, Victorian Church, Georgian Water Garden and the finest example of Cistercian Abbey ruins in the country - Well worth a visit!
Castle Howard - YO60 7DA

The site also has a Nature Trail which is fun for the whole family and an Adventure Playground where children can run off some energy.
Flamingo Land - YO60 7EW
about 21 Miles
Situated in Malton in North Yorkshire this has to be one of our favourite family days out.  It's a theme park and zoo all in one stretching over a massive 400 acres. With thrilling rides for the very daring like Cliff Hanger, Corkscrew and Kumali, there are also more gentle rides for the little ones such as Frog Hopper and Helitoys.  Family fun attractions include the 4D cinema, the lost river ride and the Little Monsters Den of Mischief. Check out their website for seasonal events which take place throughout the year and you can also gain more information about the zoo.  Flamingo Land is a resort as well as a theme park so you can also book accommodation there.
Web Adventure Park - YO32 9JS

Come rain or shine children need to be entertained and Creepy Crawlies just north of York is the perfect place! This all weather attraction caters for toddlers and children up to 12 years old with a huge array of climbing equipment, ball pools, slides, chutes and adventure areas. Adults can relax and enjoy a coffee and a snack while the kids are having fun.  The site also has a large and rather impressive outdoor area with pet zone and pedal track with Go karts.
