The cottage really is fantastic and in a great spot. Everything inside feels top-notch and the kitchen’s got everything you could need. Jim, the owner, was super helpful whenever we had tiny problemsand they were sorted quickly. We loved it so much, we’re already booked for next year!
Emma
The cottage is stunning and has all the essentials you’d want. It’s spotless and tastefully decorated. Would be better if the pool lighting was on earlier and the hot tub warmed up sooner - we didn’t get in until after 10 pm, which was a bit late.

This place really ticks all the boxes for us. It’s super comfy and spotless, plus the welcome pack was a lovely surprise. We’ve stayed twice now and definitely plan to come back. Thanks for a chilled weekend - much appreciated!

We had a fantastic time at Village Farms! Staying in the Orpington suited our big family perfectly, especially with everyone having their own bathrooms - such a relief. Loved the little details like the branded bathrobes, made us feel a bit fancy. It’s our fourth visitand we’re already planning the next. Huge thanks to Jim and Phil for their warm welcome; they really made us feel at home. Can’t wait to come back!

We had a fantastic stay! The place was spotless and surprisingly roomy. The bedrooms were huge, with plenty of storage and hangers, making unpacking a breeze. Beds were super comfy with lovely beddingand the fluffy towels and robes were a nice touch. The lounge was spacious and cosy. Definitely one of the best cottages we’ve been toand the village was so peaceful and pretty.
Karen
A beautifully appointed holiday home. A lovely rural village setting yet only 5 minutes drive from the A1. Would recommend the Nags Head for an amazing Chinese takeout. (2 minutes drive to next village). Our 3 year old grandson loved collecting fresh eggs from the hens. Bird of Prey centre in Thirsk well worth a visit. Thoroughly enjoyed our week
Janice
Amazingly comfortable and spacious. Owner very helpful and welcoming

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.
