Lovely cottage, well equipped and warm, in a great position for visiting York and the surroundings. Very friendly and welcoming host. Christmas lights in grounds and tree in the house.

A great place to stay for families, and great value for money if you want somewhere within easy reach of the attractions of York. Big Barn itself though is showing high signs of wear and tear (loose headboards, faded wallpaper, cracked floor tiles) and could probably do with a refresh. I also didn’t like the en-suite shower as the door opening was very narrow and was cumbersome to get in and out of.The overall facilities could also do with a refresh, the games room for example was just a pool table (50p pieces only), a well-used dartboard and some ransoms CDs, DVDs and other bits. It’d also be great to have a little book when you arrive, showing where all the facilities on-site are, as well as other useful information. That said, the owners were extremely friendly and only a phone call away.

Looking for flexible accommodation for six, ranging in age from 14-80, as a hub to visit York, the coast and family and we hit the jackpot! Hopgrove cottages provided us with a vacation within a vacation. After a busy day of exploring we came back to something for everyone. A well equipped games room, a field for outdoor games, a walking path with regular deer sightings and a large comfortable living space. Host respected our privacy, and responded quickly when needed. Would definitely reccommend a stay at Hopgrove Farm Family Cottages.
