Gillian “What a lovely holiday cottage - high standard of cleanliness, well equipped, very comfortable bed, fabulous welcome pack for us and the dog, but most importantly for us - Sarita and Dave are so welcoming and friendly, but not at all intrusive.”
The farm is such a fab place - feeding the alpacas and pigs is lovely. The most peaceful place we've stayed, listening to the owls at night is just lovely. Thank you so much for providing such a lovely cottage - we'll definitely be back.
- Gillian, November 2024 -
Christine “A very spacious cottage for 2/3 people in a very quiet area.”
The cottage was clean and very well equipped for cooking a meal. A welcome pack on arrival was very much appreciated. We had chickens on the door step waiting for food and the pigs came running across the field to the fence when they heard us go to the car, so fed them an apple a day. Children would love it here, seeing the Alpacas, pigs, and the farm yard chickens. Would highly recommend Ericas eaven.

Jacqueline “We spent a magical week at Erica’s ‘raven.”
The cottage was very clean and comfortable with everything you might need. It has a real home from home feeling about. The bed was super comfy which makes all the difference after a busy day but it’s being close to the animals that did it for us. Being able to feed them was an amazing feeling. The chickens are so funny and the alpacas are fantastic. Even the sheep like a bit of a scratch! Two new arrivals, Rose and Petal the pigs, took up residence while we were there too. I can’t praise this place highly enough and we’ve already booked to go back!
- Jacqueline, October 2024 -
Karen “We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Erica's 'eaven.”
The setting was really peaceful, and the alpacas were delightful. It's a very comfortable cottage and the owners, Sarita and Dave, were very welcoming. The kind treats for us and our dog were lovely. We have booked to return in May! Thank you.
- Karen, September 2024 -
Ann “An amazing place, really enjoyed everything about it.”
Its a beautuful place to wind down and relax, very quiet and peaceful. Lovely cottage with everything you need and very friendly owners on hand if needed. Fed the chickens at my front door every morning and the owner brought the Alpacas out so we could stroke them, beautiful animals. All in all a fabulous fortnight and cant wait to return.
- Ann, August 2024 -

Really well equipped with everything needed for a very comfortable stay.

- Linda, April 2023 -
Patricia “The accommodation had everything that we needed.”
We got treats on arrival for the humans and the furry friends. Great touch. The whole property is beautiful and you can enjoy the company of friendly Alpacas that made their way to meet us every time we went outside. We were lucky to see the very young lambs running around. Definitely I would try to book again if back in the area! Highly recommended
- Patricia, March 2023 -
Stephen “Lovely, warm, comfortable cottage.”
Everything you would need provided. Lovely welcome package for both guests and dog Great location for good walks straight from the doorstep. Friendly welcoming owners, who were there if needed. Highly recommended.
- Stephen, January 2023 -
David “We had a lovely stay in Erica's eaven.”
Thanks for the gifts. It was a lovely quiet location. It's a shame that there is no telephone signal and the WiFi wasn't working. And for us and older people the sofas were a bit too low. ( I'm 6ft 6ins tall). My wife found the flamingo on the bedroom wall a bit scary. Overall we had a lovely time.
- David, December 2022I am sorry the Wi-Fi had been unplugged inside the cottage somehow maybe it was caught by the hoover whilst cleaning Property Owner

Andrew “A nice cosy cottage, very quite location,ideal for relaxing and having walks.”
- Andrew, November 2022 -
Deborah “What an amazing find!”
! The cottage was a really good size and when we arrived our host had left a little care package so we could enjoy tea and a biscuit after our journey! The animals are great and our son loved going to feed them every-morning. Our hosts couldn’t do enough for us, always happy to help and point us in the right direction. No shortage of nice pubs around but we particularly enjoyed the Crown in Hutton-le-hole.
- Deborah, October 2022 -
Stewart “5 Star, better than described, wonderful stay, complimentary wine, eggs and ...”
5 Star, better than described, wonderful stay, complimentary wine, eggs and doggy treats as well, very friendly, would book again
- Stewart, September 2022 -
Karen “Excellent property and hosts.”
All the lovely extras were unexpected and very enjoyable. Weather could have been kinder would have loved just to sit in the sunshine and watch the animals Chickens so funny and friendly the alpacas and sheep kept me entertained. Location peaceful but not far from anything. Would highly recommend.
- Karen, April 2022 -
Luke “A really restful stay - ideally located for lots of local walks, and easy access to local towns/villages.”
This area of the moors is much quieter/less touristy than the Eastern side, hence why we came to this area, and the cottage is a great choice from which to explore. Based on a farm, there are lots of animals to say hello to, quite a relaxing thing to do too! The owners have treated a really nice place, with lots of useful items (way more than expected from a self-cat cottage, but really welcome to help create a nice holiday experience). The welcome treats were a lovely touch :)
- Luke, April 2022 -
Paul “Warm welcome from the owners, who provided lots of local information during our stay.”
The accommodation was very comfortable with excellent outlook from the lounge. A variety of interesting livestock can be seen on the farm. Numerous local walks are also accessible from the doorstep. Fully recommended for relaxing, walking, cycling or a base to visit North Yorkshire.
- Paul, March 2022 -
Barry “The property was excellent overall, clean, well furnished and presented and comfortable.”
I would have given it 5 had it not been for the wifi. The site has no mobile phone signal so the wifi is the only communications link. The wifi was intermittent during the day, occasionally it worked but mostly it gave an error message, either "Can't obtain an IP address" or "Connected, no Internet". From 10.15pm into the night it worked perfectly. The wifi in the cottage is by Devolo wifi extenders and they flashed a red led fairly often. I am guessing they lost contact with the router. The IP address issue is a setup problem. We do plan to go back.
- Barry, March 2022 -
Clare “We really enjoyed our time here, as did our dog Hettie, which is always a good sign!”
A needed welcome break in the cottage. The full length windows in the lounge let in so much light giving an airy feel to the living space, and the bedroom is lovely and quiet on a night. We would recommend this cottage and it’s situation in the beautiful Yorkshire Moors.
- Clare, February 2022 -
Andrea “What a fantastic cottage.”
Really relaxing. Owners so friendly and kind. Cottage had everything you needed. Alpacas were also a bonus!!!. Will definitely be back. Thankyou
- Andrea, February 2022 -
Michael “The property was clean, warm, cosy, well equipped and in a beautiful location.”
The owners are lovely and helpful people. The welcome pack was a lovely touch. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
- Michael, January 2022 -
Daniel “Whould just like to say thank you for a lovely stay!”
I have no complaints at all 10/10. The only thing i would recommend is upgrading your WiFi boosters. But you said it your self they are old. Many thanks and will be seeing you again.
- Daniel, December 2021 -
John “Everything OK,.”
Just Internet was hit and miss,.no phone signal,,so if you want Internet and phone all the time maybe this place isn't for you,,couldn't fault the owners or the place all good there,,
- John, November 2021 -
Julie “It was really peaceful, beautiful views and countryside.”
The cottage was extremely well equipped. We really enjoyed our stay there.
- Julie, November 2021 -
Carol “Our 2nd stay at this farm and we thoroughly enjoyed it again.”
Erica’s ‘eaven was spotlessly clean, had everything we needed for self catering, it was warm, there was ample hot water, a comfortable bed and the owners who were friendly and helpful, were excellent hosts. Access to a freezer was useful so we didn’t need to spend valuable holiday time shopping. The cottage is in a pretty spot, down a farm lane with lovely views. There are numerous walks from the door, in woodland, beside the river, over moorland and down country lanes. It was very easy to relax, we felt at home instantly and would love to return. We enjoyed feeding the animals and hens, and walking with the alpacas too. Altogether a very successful holiday.
- Carol, October 2021 -
Marian “Lovely cottage very clean and well decorated.”
Comfy bed and all other furniture and equipment in good order. The hospitality goodies were really appreciated. The location is very rural and charming,with animals in the fields, the alpacas were very tame and keen to have treats. There are lots of places to visit within 20 miles.
- Marian, October 2021 -
Mary “Wonderful cottage in the most peaceful surroundings.”
Well equipped for everything that you'd need & extremely clean. Also lovely owners who can't do enough for you, we will certainly return. Thank you.
- Mary, June 2021 -
Jane “Absolutely idyllic setting, exactly what we were looking for.”
Owners most helpful & plenty of wonderful walks. We felt so relaxed straight away.
- Jane, May 2021 -
Shelagh “The owners are very friendly and welcoming but stay in the background, they are helpful with any problems and go out of their way to try and solve them.”
The situation of the cottage couldn't be better for peace and quiet,with plenty of wildlife to observe. For us the only down side as two 70 year olds was the lack of comfy chairs. The sofas provided were too low and much to soft, people like ourselves with back problems will find rising very difficult. Otherwise a brilliant property, we highly recommend it if tranquility is what you want.
- Shelagh, April 2021 -
Christine “Beautiful cottage friendly welcome would highly recommend this place”
- Christine, October 2020 -
Susan “Lovely and peaceful hideaway.”
Some beautiful alpacas who the friendly owner Sarita allows you to walk with her. Owners live close by but are not at all intrusive and are always at hand should you need anything. Clean and comfortable barn conversion. Very generous welcome pack on arrival and even feed for the chickens and alpacas. Some thoughtful touches for that extra special break. We would recommend this holiday let in this beautiful place
- Susan, July 2020 -
Arthur “Lovely cottage in a beautiful part of Yorkshire great walks from the door very peaceful ideal place to unwind and relax will definitely visit again.”
- Arthur, July 2020 -
Christine “This lovely cottage is just wonderful.”
There is absolutely everything you will need and the lovely touches of Prosecco, lovely big box of chocolates, dog treats milk etc are just brilliant. The owners go above and beyond to make your stay enjoyable. Would definitely recommend and we hope to come back soon. Chris and Glynn and Jessie the cockapoo.

Narita left us a few welcome gifts.
- Jennifer, September 2019 -
Ian “The location was idyllic, the owner was lovely, and helpful for anything we needed.”
The accommodation was beautifully done, very clean and the little welcome gifts were really thoughtful. Our dog was very welcome, and was allowed into two paddocks to get her exercise. We hope to return there in the future.
- Ian, September 2019 -
Julie “Erica's 'eaven was a super place to stay.”
The property is detached, spacious, comfortable and well equipped. We loved the quirky touches like the book shelves and towel rail. the kitchen was very well equipped with a dishwasher and plenty of crockery, cookwear and utensils. We made breakfast then ate out remainder of day, there are plenty of pubs serving great food in the nearby villages. The property had a large TV/DVD and there was a good selection of DVD's to choose from and plenty of detailed local maps for walking etc. There were some great walks and routes you could cycle (mountain bikes) direct from the farm .... oh yes, it was lovely to see the animals whilst sitting outside on the patio or in the courtyard. Rare breeds cattle, sheep, alpacas and the chickens (try those eggs OMG! delicious)
- Julie, June 2019 -
Stephen “Every aspect of the accommodation was first class and the thoughtfulness of the little extras (eggs, milk, chocolate, fizz etc) was very unexpected and very much appreciated.”
- Stephen, June 2019 -
Kathleen “Owner had thought hard to provide all the extra touches which made our stay extra specially excellent in every way”
- Kathleen, May 2019 -
Chris “We thoughly enjoyed our break at Erica’s Eaven.”
The property has everything you need and right on your doorstep is the Yorkshire Moors which our dogs enjoyed exploring. It is a stunning quiet spot to get away from everything but you are still able to travel to York and other surrounding villages. We will be back.
- Chris, March 2019 -
Lynne “Lovely comfortable cottage welcome pack on arrival owners couldn't do enough to make sure all our needs were met .”
Would definitely visit again and recommend to friends and family .
- Lynne, March 2019 -
Michael “An extremely well equipped cottage on a farm.”
The owner was most helpful and provided lots of information. A great spot for exploring the beautiful villages and towns of the area.
- Michael, February 2019 -
Caroline “Stunning! The cottage is beautiful and in such a perfect quiet location surrounded by beautiful animals.”
The additional touches of biscuits, eggs, milk, chocolate, newspaper and prosecco left for us was simply perfect and very thoughtful of the owner - very much appreciated. Can't wait to return next year.
- Caroline, November 2018 -
Jackalind “On arrival at the cottage we were greeted by the owner, Sarita, who was very nice.”
We were amazed at the complimentary wine, chocolate, cookies, milk, dog treats, newspaper etc. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, it was very peaceful and relaxing. The facilities were all that you need but just one minor thing lacking was an iron and ironing board, however Sarita very kindly loaned us hers and is looking to providing them for future guests. We loved seeing the vast array of different breeds of chickens, and the sheep and lambs were a delight to watch and they were very friendly. Be aware that there is no mobile phone signal ,as you are in a valley, although there is Wifi, I was a bit concerned about this as my husband is of poor health but we could have messaged someone on wi fi, if we had needed medical help in the middle of the night. All in all a lovely relaxing holiday
- Jackalind, July 2018 -
Alan “The owners were very nice and nothing was to much trouble and the cottage was ...”
The owners were very nice and nothing was to much trouble and the cottage was first class to and dog jay jay loved it too Thank you Carole and Alan Thomas
- Alan, July 2018 -
Alex “The owners couldn’t have done more to accomodate us during our stay.”
A vac isn’t provided but they gave us one when we wanted it. They left some niceties in the cottage for our arrival. It’s also got everything to get on with cooking, so no salt pepper oil or foil is needed. It’s clean, fresh and a lovely location for many nice places.
- Alex, July 2018 -
Janice “The location and facility were wonderful with some really nice added extras provided - Proseco, locally sourced chocolate as well as tea, coffee, milk and sugar.”
A really peaceful, remote retreat but a close drive to York, Whitby and Scarborough with 2 local villages within 1 mile ‘Gilamore’ and 3 miles ‘Kirkbymoorside’. Great value and highly recommend.
- Janice, May 2018 -
Sara “Lovely cottage with everything we could have wished for.”
Friendly welcome and surprise milk, eggs, biscuits, wine and much more. Although due to the extreme weather we were unable to get out much we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope to return soon.
- Sara, February 2018 -
Kelly “The host was very accommodating and left lots of little personal touches for us which was very kind.”
- Kelly, February 2018 -
Jillian “The property is very well laid out, well equipped and comfortable.”
The owner was there to meet us and made us very welcome. Lots of nice surprises provided for us to enjoy, particularly the fresh eggs and biscuits. We struggled a bit with the shower which is an extension off the bath taps. The property would benefit from having a proper shower fitted Nice big bedroom with king size bed which was very comfortable. Its in a good location for the east coast, lots of interesting villages and market towns near by, plenty of walking locally and cycling if you don't mind the hills. We would revisit Erica's 'eaven
- Jillian, January 2018 -
Ian “The location is idyllic, i.”
E. isolated, but not far from a village and pub! Sarita, the proprietor, was most welcoming and helpful. This property is thoroughly recommended.
- Ian, November 2017 -
David “A very comfortable, warm cottage set in a beautiful quite farm location.”
It is ideally situated to explore the glorious Yorkshire Moors and it many attractions. Ideal also for those who are keen walkers or horse riders. The owners who live on the farm could not be more friendly or helpful. On the farm they keep Grey Faced Dartmoor Sheep, Friesian Horses and Free Range Chickens that provide delicious eggs. We and our dog Daisy are planning for our next visit.
- David, October 2017 -

- Joseph, May 2017 -
Karen “A great place to stay, the accomodation had everything we could have possibly needed.”
The owners were very friendly and helpful but not intrusive and the 'goodies' we found on arrival were greatly appreciated, especially the lovely eggs. The location is excellent for lots of walks and also great for small towns and the coast is not too far away. We would definitely go back again.
- Karen, March 2017 -
Joanne “Really nice accomodation.”
Several Footpath options from the doorstep. No mobile reception for those that really want to get away. Great new years get away.
- Joanne, December 2016 -

- Lynne, September 2016 -
Anne “I wasn't sure exactly where I was going so we were really pleased that it was in a gorgeous area where we wanted to be.”
The cottage was lovely and bright and the pheasants,rabbits and horses were a delight in the early morning. Our hosts were there if we needed anything and the cottage was very well equipped with lots of extra touches. A truly peaceful holiday in beautiful surroundings.

Duncan “This property is in a nice location.”
The owners gave us a friendly welcome. We would really consider coming back again.
- Duncan, July 2016 -
G “We liked everything!”
I cannot praise this cottage highly enough. Rural location, working farm environment, pet friendly, excellent hosts and five star accommodation. There was plenty of hot water and heating, when and as required. Spotlessly clean and immaculate both inside and out. Made to feel welcome from the start.
- G, June 2016 -
Carol “We could not fault this cottage in any way.”
The hosts were very friendly and obliging, but didn't intrude. A lovely site for walking as walks go directly across the farm onto the moors and down to streams. It was a very tranquil setting.
- Carol, June 2016 -
David “Erica's Eaven is the best cottage we have stayed in over the years!”
- David, May 2016 -
Anne “We also loved the friendliness of the owner of Erica's Eaven and the freedom we had around the farm, our choice of time to go was so apt with the wild daffodils all over the moors and around the villages.”
The sheep and lambs were entertaining to view from the comfort of the sofa's. A place to be enjoyed
- Anne, April 2016 -
C “The new born lambs at Erica's Eaven were a bonus and the daffodils were lovely.”
Handy location for walks and a variety of places to visit.

The owner was very friendly and hospitable, nothing was too much trouble.
- Karen, February 2016 -
Carol “The owner was friendly and welcoming but also left us to it to enjoy the beautiful setting, views and location near Hutton Le Hole.”
We loved being based on a farm with the sheep and horses in the field and chickens and pheasants strutting around the place, yet it was very tidy and clean. Erica's 'eaven was warm and cosy and the welcoming eggs, biscuits, milk, breakfast cereals, tea, coffee and bottle of bubbly were a really lovely gesture. I would highly recommend a stay here.

Harland Beck Farm Cottages
These two charming, single-storey stone barn conversions (Norah's Nook and Erica's 'eaven) are located within the owners’ grounds in a courtyard setting, on their 40-acre farm with Belted Galloway cattle amidst the spectacular scenery of Farndale, 2.5 miles from Kirkbymoorside in the heart of the North York Moors National Park. Offering all ground floor accommodation, these attractive cottages are the perfect hideaway for couples wanting peace and tranquillity, but are conveniently located within a few minutes’ drive to the surrounding pretty market towns. They are bright and cheerful, with modern kitchens and bathrooms and comfortable sitting rooms, providing very welcoming holiday homes. Outside, guests can relax on the sunny patios, in the sheltered courtyards and savour the stunning moorland countryside, where beautiful walks lead straight from the door.

Kirkbymoorside has an excellent array of quality cafes, independent shops, restaurants and pubs, as well as a weekly market.
