Sue was a lovely host. The farm cottage was tidy, well-stocked, and spacious to accommodate our party of 8 (4 adults and 4 children). It worked well as a home base to go west into York or east to the North Sea shore. We would be happy to stay again.

Fab time had all round, property is clean and has everything you could need! Perfect for our weekend break, welcome pack super organised and informative, hosts are on site and super helpful, the brownies were delicious thank you Sue! Really impressed with all the little extras, cleaning supplies (DW tablets, loo roll, kitchen towel, MS cleaner) made our stay so much easier. We had a great time. Thanks again

Great spacious accommodation

We stayed here for 2 nights for a family wedding nearby. There were 4 couples - all family - the space was great with a good choice of bedrooms and bathroom facilities. We would all recommend this to anyone wishing to stay in this area. Thank you for the cake as well Sue.

What a wonderful place to stay! Sue met us on arrival, and welcomed us to Owl Cottage. The cottage was so beautiful inside and spotlessly clean. The kitchen had everything we needed and more. All the bedrooms were a good size and were comfortable. The bathrooms had plenty of hot running water good showers. Thank you for the lovely Brownies, bread, butter and milk, it was much appreciated. The area was quiet and it was lovely to see the Alpacas and pigs too! We visited York using the park and ride, which was only 20 minutes from the cottage. We had a lovely meal at the Plough inn, which was also just down the road. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend Sue as a host and owl cottage. We will definitely book again.

Fantastic stay at the owl cottage!

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at the owl cottage. The owner Sue, was very welcoming, communicative and always at hand. The cottage itself was very clean, welcoming and overall, a great place to stay containing all that was needed and more. We also enjoyed the company of the farm's pet animals! Thank you to Sue for the freshly baked brownies and other additionals, they were much appreciated!

Great Country Hideaway

We've just got back from Eastfield Farm and loved it. We were attending a friend's wedding at Bunny Hill farm a few miles away and wanted something different from a hotel. Our party was four aged 50+ couples. The farm is really well equipped with a nice kitchen and spacious living area. All bedrooms are nicely decorated and the three bathrooms good too. The property is on a working farm, but is pretty remote so you'll have no issue with noise. Check in was easy - Sue, the host met us on arrival and gave us the keys, and we just handed them back on departure - simples. Would highly recommend for a weekend away. The pictures on Vrbo don't actually do it justice. Well worth a visit

Fantastic family stay

This is the second time visiting Owl cottage and I’m sure it won’t be the last. Accommodation is clean and welcoming. The kitchen is incredibly well stocked with everything you could need to prepare large family meals. The touches on arrival such as milk and home made cakes were lovely. Everyone in the party had a great stay.

Fab week away

This lovely house was just what it said on the tin. It was large, well equipped and very clean when we arrived. The owners left us milk, orange, butter,bread , ham, milk and eggs for when we arrived which was unexpected but lovely. We had ordered afternoon tea and cookies which were Devine and just what we needed on our arrival. The owners were very welcoming on our arrival and then didn’t bother us unless we asked them for help/advice. I would really recommend a stay here. Thanks again for everything

Immaculate property with wonderful hosts

We had such a lovely stay at Sue’s cottage. The property was beautifully furnished and was one of the most well-equipped holiday houses I have stayed in. The kids loved being on the farm and visiting the pigs and alpacas each day. They also loved the swing ball and big box of outdoor toys in the courtyard. Overall, a wonderful holiday.

Fabulous Cottage

We stayed on Owl Cottage for a long weekend. It is beautifully presented and tastefully decorated with lots of little extras included to make the stay all the more welcoming. Sue is a lovely host and was on hand to help with anything if needed. There was even food in the fridge and homemade cupcakes to welcome us. The cottage is in a a pleasant spot - very handy for visiting the surrounding area. We really enjoyed our stay and would recommend this cottage to anyone who needed a place to stay in this area and would definitely return ourselves.

Weekend stay

On arrival, we were welcomed by Sue, who showed us the property and stated that the food and drink, wine and cakes, at the house were ours to be used as we wished. The rooms were clean and the beds comfortable. There was a box of toys outside of which the children made much use of. Overall a very enjoyable stay. Thank you Sue.
