Dere House Reviews

Heather
There was one shower for 9 people. The remaining bathrooms were baths with hand held shower heads. The sofa in main living room has collapsed. The number on the contact details is for a previous employee. Kitchen has lots of stuff but two pots and a mixture of plates most of which dont fit in the dishwasher as they are serving dishes. The hot water system was not adequate for number of beds
Veronica
This home was cold and had no logs for the log burners. Also we asked for all beds to be made up and we had to make up the bed in one of the rooms. There was not enough hot water for everyone to have a shower. I would not recommend this home to anyone to stay. It felt cold and musty in the living room. One of the toilets was broken and there was a note about this in the book, this is so bad, instead of leaving a note just fix the toilet!
Joanne
Stayed here with a group of friends for the weekend. Such an amazing place, with all the amenities you could think of included. Clean and comfortable and decorated to a very high standard. The property owner was a lovely guy and always on hand to help out if needed. Will definitely be back again!
Samuel
Family of 7 just returned from a great week, we had fabulous weather so spent the majority of our time outside. The property itself is lovely and is well equipped. Just outside Richmond which is a lovely town to visit. This property could be amazing however the cleanliness and general maintenance lets its down. The hot tub wasnt clean, the decking needs replacing and the whole house could do with a thorough clean. We also feel that a property for 10 should have more than one walk in shower, a hand held shower over a bath isnt ideal.
Rebecca
Dere house is a wonderful place to stay. However very very dirty. Myself and my my partner stayed in the smaller double bedroom on the top floor and there was a contact lens on the floor. I can confirm this was not ours as either of us use contacts. In the utility room next to the kitchen there was a cobweb that pretty much took over the full top half of a door frame. The kitchen was also very dusty and infested with cobwebs. In the larger downstairs bedroom there was some sweets behind the bed and some knickers in the drawer. We met the owner when we arrived and he was very polite and welcoming so I do not wish for this review to effect his business but it may express the urgency to employ better cleaners. The downstairs New York themed bedroom with black accessories had a window which did not have an accessible function to open. So if there was a fire how could the guests get out. The outside seating area including covered settee area was very dirty with lots of confetti from the previous guests left on seats. The hot tub was also very dirty. Outside garden area very dirty the table covered in stains and food from previous guests not pleasant to relax in. The decking floor was damaged as you leave the kitchen into the garden and it had been damaged for a long time you could tell by the material that was placed over the broken wood. The shower in the master bedroom on the top floor had a damaged glass frame which was dangerous to the person using the shower as it would wobble. Although it doesnt sound it we did have a wonderful stay and it was a beautiful building with lots of garden and greenery but the cleanliness was a huge letdown and some things were damaged which could lead to injury.
What a lovely property. Huge rooms everywhere and very comfortable and relaxing just what was needed for our busy lifestyle. Had a slight issue but Mark sorted it immediately and really is a lovely gentlemen. He was more than happy to help. Lovely town not far away and is pet friendly everywhere Lovely to see sheep and rabbits from the living room and from the hot tub.
The barn was lovely and we really enjoyed our stay. There were a few issues in the bathrooms. The knob of the bath tub was loose and the shower room in the main ensuite was not working properly. Outside in the garden the rails on the patio were loose. One of our party leaned on one of the rails which came off. Bare in mind we had a toddler running round. These are a few issues that could easily be put right.
Lesley
We had a great stay at Dere house. Very clean and well equipped. The owner was friendly and on hand to greet us. By way of constructive feedback the steps in the corridors downstairs could do with illuminating. The corridors are dark and steps easy to miss. Other than that everything was great thank you
Robert
Enjoyed our stay. Happy with the house and its facilities. Owner very helpful and made himself available to answer questions and give good information. We were sorry we couldnt stay longer.
Lovely property and the owner is lovely. Left a lovely welcome hamper. The house is huge and has so many beautiful pieces of furniture and ornaments. The house has everything you could possibly need. Great house for large gatherings.

Big Sheep - EX39 5AP
about 7 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.
Fountains Abbey - HG4 3DY
about 19 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!
