The stunning valley of Farndale is in the North York Moors National Park and in spring there is a spectacular display of daffodils along the side of the River Dove. The fields are divided by ancient dry stone walls and the narrow lanes wind around the spectacular valley. The lovely old market town of Kirkbymoorside is 10 miles away and has a good selection of shops and restaurants as well as a market every Wednesday, when the stalls are set out on the charming cobbled streets. Pickering is home to the North York Steam Railway and trains run from here to Grosmont along an 18-mile stretch of glorious countryside. Walkers have many trails and footpaths to follow and this is a fabulous area for a holiday at any time of the year.
Reviews
"Had a lovely relaxing week away,cottage is in a very peaceful location but right in the middle of the moors so plenty of places to walk.it was ideal for us and our 2 dogs had a great time."
"We had a very relaxing and peaceful week away here. We had three young children who loved being on the farm with lots of animals and out door space. Ideal location to explore the Yorkshire Moors. Fabulous holiday."
"stayed here for 4 nights with our small dog, very relaxing and good for the soul. Great base to explore the region, thoroughly recommend it"
"Lovely 3 bedroom house next to a farm, within walking distance to a good pub (Feversham Arms). Open fire, fully equipped kitchen and a bottle of wine and teapot and biscuits waiting for us when we arrived! Firewood included. Liked the touch of leaving the torches for us!"
"I heve been here many times and I enjoyed all my stays. Probably everything written about this cottage is true."
"Absolutely fantastic, stopped here 2 years ago as well, fantastic views, location and value for money. Set on a working farm so sheep in field in front of our lounge window, I've loved watching the sheep and calves playing and running. What a wonderful place. Massive thanks. :-)"
"Our 6th visit and we love this place as much as ever! Cannot fault the cottage and all it provides. If you want peace,beautiful views and a taste of the good life,then this is the place to be. Andy,Julie and Lee are the delightful owners who welcome you into their world and let you become part of their working sheep farm.Always lots to see going on and very willing to explain countrylife to us townies!! Just a short walk away is the local Feversham Arms run by the lovely Rachel and her husband,Richard. Warm,welcoming pub with great home cooked food,good beer and very dog friendly! Also worth a visit is The Lion pub, just above the cottage at Blakey Ridge, especially at Christmas. You will not find a more beautifully decorated pub and cannot fail to feel festive when you explore all the rooms. Great atmosphere,fantastic food and loads of great beers to try! Would recommend the Arches and the larger attached cottage,The Old Carthouse, to anyone who simply wants to get away from it all and enjoy a peaceful,relaxed time with family and friends and dogs - magical!! We will be back!!"
"A lovely family welcome you to this very warm cottage. The view from the picture window of this quiet pretty dale would be hard to beat. There is a huge variety of places to go within reach by car and lots of wonderful walks, and a very friendly pub in the tiny village! You will be aware of all the changes in the weather!"
"despite the troubles with our car (5 days garage, shame on you r.a.c.) we still managed to make our holiday a success, thanks to the helpfull owner who didn't mind taking us to the store and even arranged us a visit to the country life museum. Thanks andy!!!"
"We had the perfect Christmas experience. Deep snow meant it was tricky getting down the valley to The Arches but, once there, it was an ideal location to enjoy the white-out scenery, sledging in front of the cottage and various walks, including a particularly rewarding trek up the valley side to the Lion inn on Blakey Moor. The Arches itself is a fine converted carthouse, well equipped and warm. The farming family who own it are very friendly and helpful."
"Booking and arrival at the cottage was easy and hassle free. The cottage was clean, tidy and well maintained. The warm, cosy atmosphere inside was very welcoming after a cool windy day out and about. Despite being located a fair way up Farndale, the cottage was easy to get to from the moor top road. Many walks were had along the lane, up onto the moor tops and also in neighbouring Rosedale on the old railway line. The local pubs looked inviting, but we didn't get round to trying them out."
"We found this remote cottage up Farndale to be equipped in every way for our needs. Our family consisted of grandparents, parents and two youngsters aged 11 and 8. Out and about we visited York, Scarborough and Whitby and particularly enjoyed the Folk Museum at nearby Hutton-le-Hole. The autumn colours were stunning. Our son-in-law was all over the steep lanes and tracks on his mountain back while the children enjoyed the farm. We even got a log fire going in the evening. Would recommend either of the spacious cottages on this site to anybody."
