“Lovely accommodation,swimming pool and grounds.”

The owners were lovely and quick to respond to any queries we had,the only thing it could possibly benefit from was an outside light that could stay on as it was very dark on a night if you were out,this didn't alter our holiday we just used a torch.

“We loved our stay at Hartswood farm!”

I was quite skeptic to book the place as there were not many reviews published and none recently, but the place was lovely! Exactly as pictured and described, and we were welcomed with fresh eggs, milk and cake which was very sweet and generous. The pool was a beautiful and relaxing addition, and the goats also deserve a shout out. The hosts were responsive to any queries and we tried 2 pubs in the area that were recommended in the handbook and they were lovely and both dog friendly. Our only criticisms and things to note is that the stairs up to the apartment can get quite tiring after a while, especially for our elderly dog and they can be quite slippery in the rain so probably not best for anyone with mobility issues, but they are well advertised in the property listing so this is merely just an observation! The TV is rather old and quite grainy, and the remote was terribly temperamental so an update would be beneficial but the dvd player and selection of movies available to borrow downstairs is a lovely touch. Sofas were also a bit hard and positioned a little strange for the TV so were quite uncomfortable. Bedding was also quite large for the quilts which was a little irritating as they were either tucked under the mattress or super long and hitting the floor. Finally, and this may just be me, but I did find the bedrooms rather eerie, especially the twin room with the large alcove space to the right side of the beds. Perhaps a lighter, brighter colour may improve the atmosphere of those two rooms. Overall though, our stay was lovely, relaxing, clean and dog friendly and we would happily come back. We’ve already recommended the place to our friends and family

“Thoroughly enjoyed our week's stay at West cottage!”

The whole family have had a brilliant time! The welcoming touches were lovely. The cottage is perfectly located we managed to go on days out each day with ease. Having access to the pool was an added bonus and as a family we enjoyed using this facility each day of our stay! We will definitely be back! Thank you.

“The property is exactly as described.”

Spotlessly clean, with comfy, warm beds, comfortable seating and a practical kitchen. Heating worked well the odd time we needed a bit of warmth (bathroom first thing). The swimming pool is lovely, goats and chickens friendly. We went out most days - this location is ideal for heading in all directions from York to North York Moors to Scarborough.

“A late booking attracted by the large indoor swimming pool.”

Site had recently changed hands and new owners plan to refurbish. We accepted the fact that the accommodation was rather tired. The apartment had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The only let down was the bathroom, bath with hand shower attachment and toilet cistern took ages to refill. The owners very friendly and called in plumber. Excellent situation for seeing both coast and country.

Hartswood Farm Cottages

Malton 8 miles. Situated near the small hamlet of East Knapton, surrounded by open, working countryside, these four properties, including two lovely apartments, a ground-floor open plan barn conversion, and a delightful wing of a former farmstead are set within the owner’s large property and grounds. Ideally located, these Malton cottages are close to many attractions in the area, including stately homes, gardens and the seaside towns of Filey and Scarborough. Both of the apartments provide inviting first-floor accommodation, with bright and comfortable sitting rooms and modern bathrooms and kitchens, whilst the former farmstead cottage boasts period features, such as beamed ceilings, parquet floors, original fireplaces and a woodburning stove. The ground-floor open-plan cowshed is a lovely romantic retreat, with all you need in one place beneath delightful exposed beams, with views of the ponies and goats in the fields to wake up to. Tastefully furnished and decorated, these four properties near Malton have shared access to a fabulous heated indoor swimming pool with a Jacuzzi, changing rooms and comfortable seating. Outside the two apartments each enjoy their own private patio, the cowshed has a lovely fenced seating area, whilst all four holiday homes have access to communal lawns, with rural views towards Dalby Forest and the Vale of Pickering. The pretty market town of Malton offers a cobbled market square, independent shops and an array of tea rooms and pubs, whilst nearby Pickering has a castle, museums and is the terminus of the North Yorkshire Moors Railway; well worth a nostalgic trip through spectacular moorland scenery. For the more energetic, Dalby Forest offers biking and walking trails, with its Go Ape activity centre and bike hire. Why not enjoy a visit to nearby Scampston House and its beautiful gardens, or have a fun-filled day at Flamingo Land theme park? With something for everyone in this beautiful area, these three holiday homes near Malton will appeal to all the family.
