Green End House Reviews

We all had a fabulous time, thank you for sharing your lovely home with us. Its a wonderful place. Just for your information the water dispenser in the fridge is broken which didnt really affect us but you may need to replace it. The outside guttering is blocked so rain water cascades outside the French door where the hot tub is. Hope you had a good journey home, and a Happy Christmas. Regards Janys Cliff
Catherine
We loved staying at Green End House. It is so well situated. The kitchendiningliving space is so warm and comfortable. It is extremely wellequipped. We wanted for nothing. There are so many rooms that provided enough space for everyone to be able to spread out and enjoy the house. The hot tub was fabulous. Much bigger than many. Everyone loved the house and gardens. The table tennis table was very well used too! It snowed when we stayed there and it was absolutely magical. The children loved playing in the garden that wrapped right around the house. Many wonderful memories made!
Dorothy
We have just returned from a wonderful week at Green End House with our two daughters, their partners and children, celebrating our Ruby Wedding. Its a beautiful, spacious house, ideal for large family groups. The kitchen dining area is extremely spacious with all the equipment you could possibly need or want. The two large cupboards of games were very welcome on bad weather days, as were the table tennis, basketball and table football. Communication with Suzy the owner was also excellent. We would very happily return.
Richard
Absolutely wonderful place, would love to come again,hopefully if I can afford to being oap.
We rented the property to celebrate our 50th Wedding Anniversary with the public. It was perfect. Plenty of room for the whole family, well furnished and equipped and in a truly idyllic location. The hot tub proved to be particularly popular. The house was also ideally placed for exploring both the Dales and the Moors. It really could not have been better and we were all really disappointed when our week came to an end.
Gerald
Fantastic stay hot tub great for the children all enjoyed the week cant weight to come back
Angela

Joseph
Stunning property with the kitchen and master bedroom being a particular highlight the photos online do not actually do it justice. Ideal setting for my birthday celebrations along with my immediate family. Very spacious both inside and out allowing for a great environment for both adults and kids alike.
Maxine
We all had a lovely time away in Yorkshire, the house made it extra special. Would definitely stay again.
William
Excellent property especially the kitchen. Spotlessly clean. Hot tub excellent. Beds comfortable. Excellent communication from owner. Neighbour was extremely friendly and could help with anything if required. Only very small negative was hot tub not ready for use on first night.
Green End House is in a really good location. It is very comfortable and well equipped. We couldnt have asked for more and our stay was made extra special by all the provision for our younger family members. A perfect place for a family gathering.
Valerie
Perfect stay at Green End House. The home is perfect and we had an amazing time celebrating my partners 75th Birthday with family and grandchildren. The facilities are excellent throughout this beautiful house with the added bonus of an immaculate hot tub. There are cupboards jam packed with games which we used and had great fun plus packed drawers of DVDs, the table tennis table in the garage is another bonus. The home was immaculate, stylish and so warm, we didnt want to leave. Communication with Suzy the owner was fantastic and she gave a courteous call to ask if we needed anything. I would a 100 recommend this beautiful house.
A lovely property and one we really enjoyed staying in. Suzanna was extremely helpful pretrip and also made sure we were enjoying our stay over the weekend. We're already talking about returning in future years and really enjoyed the accommodation and setting.
Absolutely everything we could have wanted and more. Definitely a beautiful home totally suited to our needs. Thank you
We had the most fabulous stay for our Golden Wedding celebration with our family in the stunning Green End House ! ! It had everything we could need and plenty of activities for all the grandchildren,inside and out including a largesafe and beautifully maintained garden, surrounded by spectacular views especially sunrise and sunset !!! A few minutes walk to the local pub The George and Dragon for some very nice food and lots of local walks and lovely to come back for a chill in the hot tub,the house is so relaxing we didn't want to leave , would definitely love to return !!!
Leanne
Absolutely amazing property and everything we wanted for a family holiday. The house is equipped with everything you could think of. Amazing views and lovely surroundings. Lovely and helpful owner and neighbours! Very detailed welcome pack with all sorts of information. If I could have stayed forever I would have! Would certainly look at coming back again soon. Thank you so much
Lauren
Couldnt have asked for anything more. The most amazing and welcoming house I have stayed in
Graham
The house was as detailed as published. So was the surrounding areas. The only problem the party encountered was the hot tub became unuseable from the Tuesday evening and never regained its clarity and temperature. This was a disapointment to the younger members of our group.
We had a wonderful holiday at Green End House. The house was exactly as pictured, spotlessly clean and there was so much space for us all. The cupboards full of games, books and dvds were brilliant for rainy days and the table tennis table was a huge hit. The bbq and hot tub were also much appreciated! The village was perfectly placed for some lovely days out at Brimham Rocks, Lightwater Valley and Thorpe Perrow. The local pub just a five minute stroll from the house was super friendly with tasty, reasonably priced food for all the family. Notes for the owner We would have liked a working dvd player in the super comfy red room we couldn't get the telly to work in there at all instructions for how to work the dishwasher in the utility room loaded it, then couldn't figure out how to turn it on! and Mum says to mention that the ensuite door in the second bedroom doesn't stay shut. These are teeny tiny niggles our holiday, and the house, were absolutely fantastic and we would love to return someday. Thank you so much for the beautiful house and all of the helpful information you left for us, we had a brilliant time.
Theresa
What an amazing place for 10 women to relax away from the children and catch up after what seems like an eternity of Covid. Amazing house with everything you need in a lovely village with people who were very welcoming.
A wonderful property for a family gathering. Extremely spacious, comfortable and well appointed in every respect. Ideally situated for family outings with good food available in a friendly local pub. Highly recommended.
This is our 2nd visit to Green End House . ... its is the most beautiful house with the perfect facilities. It has everything you could possibly need and more! The owner is so welcoming and friendly and checks in to make sure we were ok. Milk in the fridge and prosecco and biscuits upon arrival are just one of the many wonderful touches about this place . We cannot wait to go again asap!! Thank you so much for yet another wonderful stay!!
A wonderful property to stay that was beautifully presented and spotless throughout.
AStar all the way. This property was perfect in every way there was comfort and luxury in every room the bedrooms were immaculate and comfortable bathrooms were spotlessly clean spacious and had shower and hair products something you would only find in a hotel warm fluffy towels and beautiful bed linen. The kitchen and living areas very modern comfortable and clean The kitchen had every utensil and container you would need and bonus fridge has an ice maker
The house is amazing and ideal for a large family gathering. It is very comfortable and spacious. Suzy was very helpful and responded quickly when there was a small problem. We would thoroughly recommend Green End House.
Alison
10 of us stayed here for 3 nights for a friends 50th birthday we didnt want to leave! !!! Green End House is beautifully decorated with high quality fixtures and fittings and there was everything and more that we needed for our stay. No expense has been spared, from luxurious bedrooms and bathrooms to the kitchen utensils and crockery. The kitchen diner is to die for!!!!!! Suzy the owner was extremely helpful and friendly and gave us all the information needed prior to our arrival. We will definitely be back.
Siobhan
The house was amazing, well looked after and very clean! We loved our stay! House was beautiful
Plenty to do for both children and adults, quite happy to spend time at the house rather than elsewhere. Particularly enjoyed the hot tub and comfort provided in the house.
Michael
It is a well thought out property.
Poonam
The home was veryy up comfortable plenty of space super clean. We only found it was very cold indoors on arriving but maybe the thermostat was not adjusted. Everything else the hostess made sure we were looked after and even had someone to support for any issues should they come. The check in instructions and facilities were all easy and exceptional. It was like walking into your own home. Ideal for families with hot tub, games, basketball, table tennis, foosball bats etc there was a huge range to keep kids and adults occupied. Well maintained grounds and gardens made it super enjoyable spending a day at the house which we did on a number of days as the kids did not wish to leave!
Kathleen
Beautiful house which has been finished to a high standard. Suzy was a great host from start to finish and provided great communication throughout. Would be more than happy to stay in this house again and make good use of the hot tub which has amazing views over the fields.
Davinda
Lovely place. First time in North Yorkshire. The house was lovely and clean and owner really helpful. Could do with slippers and gown provided for the hot tub based on other holiday experiences. All in all a lovely stay
Green End house is simply beautiful. The location, grounds, rooms and facilities were all excellent a lovely family house with plenty of space and luxurys. We all enjoyed a wonderful break as a family, playing games, cooking together and relaxing in the hot tub. Can not wait to be back again soon.
It was a lovely house with really good facilities, lovely garden, games for the whole family It was every thing we expected for a lovely holiday.
Hi, Myself and 8 friends visited green end house Friday 13th March 2020 for the weekend to celebrate my 40th birthday. We had an absolutely amazing time. The house was amazing and exceeded my expectations. It had everything you could think of and more. The extra bonus of having the hot tub was great too. The location was lovely, we had a nice walk. We also went to the george and the dragon pub for a meal which was lovely in the village. We visited the local town of Ripon which had some lovely little shops and cafes, and on the Sunday we went into Harrogate. Overall a really lovely weekend celebrating in a lovely part of our country. I will definitely be visiting again. Thank you
Rebecca
