Remote, quiet location with great views

Stayed in May 2024

Most people are not visiting this cottage to watch television - so it's a minor issue, but the reception left much to be desired.

Overall - extremely pleased by the facilities and location of the guest cottage - warm and comfortable, quiet and beautiful surrounds, fabulous views and everything you needed. Tastefully decorated with a blend of genuine quality furnishings and practical touches. Saw a range of wildlife as well as the spectacular scenery. Relaxing back lane drives and many spots to pull over and just drink in the views. Easy access to Helmsley for coffee shops or quick groceries. Some hills are challenging if you cycle!

Simply as dog owners found light coloured carpets throughout accomodation (including in kitchen area) daunting. Would have benefited from an outside hose (we found a watering can) to clean dogs and maybe an overhanging porch for rainy days as directly enter onto said cream carpet from outdoors. We placed towels down but maybe a more serviceable runner along patio door entrance would be handy.

Location was peaceful. Comfortable and clean accommodation.

It would have been even better if the shower had worked properly.

A lovely cottage in a lovely location.

Be aware you are in the countryside so need to drive along small country roads to get anywhere. Although Helmsley is not far away.

Stayed in Couch cottage which was perfect for the 2 if us and our dog. It was enclosed so safe for the dog. Lovely countryside views from the cottage.

Quiet location. Good area for walking. Near to the historic Rievaulx Abbey which is worth visiting.

Lighting in main room and kitchen poor. Had to move the standard lamp around to provide light for my crocheting. Feather pillows uncomfortable.

Shower hot and good water flow. Dishwasher excellent plus tablets provided. Tea towels and washing up liquid provided. Armchairs comfortable.

We loved everything! We didn't get chance to do any of the walks from the cottage because of the weather, but we'll definitely do them when we stay again.

Our cottage was gorgeous! It was cute, practical, warm, so quiet and the scenery was just amazing! We had our own little fenced off courtyard area so our dog could nip out for a sniff without us worrying that she's escape. The location was fabulous! We were a 10 minute drive from Helmsley and there was a little welcome folder with lots of restaurant and attraction recommendations. We've already recommended Valley View Farm Holiday Cottages to our friends and we can't wait to visit again!

Maybe a small amount of milk for an initial drink when you arrive. Really nothing at all to complain about though!

Beautiful little place in stunning location. It is on a working farm so heavy machinery working late at night and early in the morning but this didn't bother us at all, in fact it added to the idyllic setting. The place was very clean, cosy and comfortable. There was a small amount of tea and coffee provided but no milk, however there are supermarkets a ten min drive away in Thirsk, something to bear in mind if you are arriving late. In the accommodation there was a folder containing lots of handy information including some lovely local walks. The gardens of the accommodation were individually fenced, however the one we stayed in had large gate which the dogs could get under, therefore we kept the dogs on their leads when 'toiletting', again not a problem to us. We would definitely stay here again, it would be ideal for groups who want separate accommodation but close together.

It was quiet and peaceful and the facilities were great

Cottage was good. Very comfortable bed. Good facilities. But thought the lighting in the lounge area needs improvement

Location liked being on a working farm in the wide open countryside

Stayed in August 2023

I feel it would be a good idea to have a gate that locks for people staying with dogs and a sofa rather than chairs would be more comfortable. We were also a little disappointed that we did not have the view over the moors from our cottage.

Lovely cottage with everything we could have needed available, beautiful location with great views.

Really easy to find accessible!

The only small thing is the courtyard, they are all stone/concrete, would be better for the dog if it was grass. However there is plenty of grass around the corner and it didn't impact our visit at all.

The cottages are well decorated and cosy. Instantly felt at home. The surrounding area is beautiful. A very peaceful place and dog friendly which is always a bonus. The owners are very helpful and friendly and the welcome packs are very helpful and informative. The cottage is supplied with everything you could need, and the beds are very comfy!
