Wish we were still there. Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

we was very impressed with the house and the location.The property was very well equipt with all your needs and you didn't have to take anything except your food etc. The chocolate cake was a very welcomed also.Would certainly recommend the property sand we will certainly look to rebook.

This is a huge house with great views over the moors from the big kitchen window. The well equipped kitchen had a breakfast table to seat 10 - 12. Lots and lots of mugs, plates, glasses and the biggest selection of sauce boats we've ever seen. A bit short on serving dishes for 12 people. We found the fridge took a few days to get down to a chilled temperature. We did have a lot to put in it though as we were catering over Christmas. The left hand oven didn't get to temperature but it was okay to heat up a lasagne, it just took a bit longer. The right hand fan oven worked fine. There was another big dining table in the dining room which we used for Christmas dinner. The wood burning stove in the dining room didn't work but the coal fire in one of the sitting rooms was very cosy. The house was a bit chilly when we arrived but it warmed up in a couple of hours. The people who stayed in the bedroom immediately above the utility room where the boiler was found the boiler a bit noisy. The huge games room kept the boys entertained. There were also lots of DVDs and a smart tv with Netflix. We stayed in the twin room and there was a lack of sockets for hairdryers/straighteners near the mirror. I used one of the sockets behind the bed but only one of the double sockets worked so had to unplug the bedside light. In fact there was an overall lack of sockets but handy extension cables had placed around the house. There were two sitting rooms plus seating in the orangery/conservatory. We liked having multiple sitting rooms so we could have our own space. There wasn't a room where all 9 of us could be together. I believe the house is undergoing a programme of refurbishment which it will certainly benefit from as it is a bit tired and in need of upgrading. Good walks on to the moors on the doorstep. The Mallyan Spout hotel was just a few minutes walk away and Goathland station on the NYM railway was a short car drive away. Would recommend the house for family breaks. There was plenty of parking for 5 cars. It will be great when the hot tub is available for guests to use.
