Ideal cottage for a few days away as a family: spotless, spacious and outstanding attention to detail. Fabulous location on a working farm and within easy reach of lots of place to visit. Lovely host; friendly yet unobtrusive and outstanding communication. We hope to return.

Liked: Location
We had a brilliant stay at this idyllic working farm. Christine was an excellent host, contacting us directly when the property was ready early, providing eggs, milk and a delicious cake (much appreciated after a long drive) and giving us tips for the area. The house is exactly as seen and described. We visited as a family of 6 (3 generations) and there was plenty of space for relaxation, the kids to play and for us to all come together to eat inside and out. Having an en suite to each room was a great bonus. The house was perfectly clean and well equipped with everything we could have needed, including lots of games, although the kids spent the entire time entertained by watching the calves, rabbits, chicken and deer from the window or over the garden wall. We had such a brilliant time, none of us wanted to leave. We'd highly recommend.

The location was perfect for our family, plus our dog. The accommodation couldn’t have been better. 3 double bedrooms each with its on en-suite.

Superb house

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Everything showed that the host put a lot of thoughts into it. The only drawback is that it’s a little far from the Yorkshire dale national park.

Lovely Farm Cottage in perfect surroundings

A wonderful holiday in a lovely cottage with stunning views. Fully equipped and spotlessly clean and hosts Christine and Chris made us feel very welcome in their space (hundreds of acres of it) Petting the lambs and feeding the chickens would have kept the children amused for the entire week. Looking forward to returning soon!

Lambing Season - Fabulous Base

Cannot express how fabulous this place is. The hosts Christine and Chris are welcoming and friendly and were more than happy to show us around to see the lambs. Set on a beautiful farm with it's own lovely walks. Very welcoming place and a lovely chocolate cake upon arrival (as equally pleasant as the hosts) Would highly recommend a stay.

Excellent property, everything you need is there and a warm welcome from the hosts. Christine has thought of everything. From an easy check in to kitchen essentials. With a lovely raised deck to sit with a cuppa and admire the farm animals and views. Plenty of birdsong morning and eve. Thoroughly recommend.

Delightful

We have just spent a delightful week at Scaife Hall Farm. Being a working farm added richness to our experience. Having our welcoming host next door was reassuring. The cottage is ideally located for exploring the Dales. The accommodation was first class and we highly recommend it.

This property is everything it says on the tin!! A real home from home, Christine has thought of everything. The views, the location, the hosts and surrounding areas are all fabulous. If you are looking for a little piece of heaven, this is it. We are so pleased we have been able to experience it.

A wonderful stay in the country

We had a superb week in this cottage, which is part of a farmhouse on an active farm. It was exciting to see the new calves arrive and able to stand up so soon after being born. The view from the upstairs windows at the front is amazing, and there is a lovely garden. Christine's hospitality was exemplary, with home-baked cake on arrival, fresh eggs, and plunger coffee. The kitchen is very well-equipped. Plenty of space for 6 adults, and a range of beautiful walks directly from the cottage. We would love to return someday.

Beautiful spot.

The farm is in a completely beautiful spot with views stretching as far as the eye can see. Sheep stand on paths in the way of the car and potter around at the edge of the garden. The garden is nicely planted and faces south with a substantial garden table and chairs. The owner is around and lovely, but unobtrusive. She keeps chickens and we bought lots of fresh eggs for half the price of supermarket free range organic. Inside is nicely kitted out and comfy without being fussy.
