Lovely spacious property, which was so well equipped that absolutely everything was thought of. Quiet rural setting but close to so many towns and cities making it ideal for someone with a car as a central base. Hosts were very welcoming and helpful.

WILLIAM

The cottage was excellent in every way, highly recommended. The cottage was well laid out with quality items everywhere from towels to cooking essentials if you felt the desire to cook in. The Jacuzzi was sitting bubbling away at all times ready for when you should desire to use it and it was well hidden leaving it totally private. The property ownRead moreers were friendly and only a phone call away if you had any problems. It'll be my first choice of place to stay in that area if I return. Hide

Fantastic cottage which is incredibly spacious. Our children love playing in the barn and collecting eggs each day. We will be back again without a doubt.

Nicholas

Absolutely loved our stay. Had to be the most relaxing week weve had in years. The accommodation is first class, huge and spacious with a separate lounge. The hot tub is fantastic, the kids loved it, the wife loved it, I loved it. Owners are friendly and helpful and on call if needed. Great to gather fresh eggs in the morning with the children and the lemon drizzle cake on arrival was sublime. Just rebooked for next February, hopefully for as peaceful a stay!

Claire

We loved the following aspects of the property: Interiors high spec and the kitchens very well-equipped, all rooms EnSite, located on a working farm, excellent provision of indoor and outdoor activities for children, not far from the A1 but quiet location. Orpington lends itself to a large group staying there, and also to holding a single larger ev ent as we did on one of the days where 35-40 people comfortably fitted into the space. It was great to be able to book Maran and Wyandotte for more family to stay in. We really appreciated the Tassimo coffee machines in the property, and the Bose sound system. The owners were generally available and always very friendly and helpful. The highlight was to see a large group of sheep herded to the adjacent field along the street outside the property - a rural experience for us city-dwellers!

Emma

We really enjoyed another stay at Maran Cottage. Excellent location to explore this are of Yorkshire. Very clean dog friendly cottage with excellent facilities.

Would recommend and sure we will return in the not too distant future. Thank you for another fantastic stay.

Great family week in Marian Cottage. This is a great base of lots of different spots to visit and we went in all directions including Saltburn, york, Helmsley/Milton and Ingleton. Cottage has everything youd need and our kids really enjoyed visiting the rabbits and chickens as well as plenty of games of table tennis in the barn. Hot tub was also ve ry nice in the evenings.
