Located within the Castle Howard Estate, this 18th-century stone farmhouse is the perfect setting for a restorative retreat. From the wood-burning fires and cosy sitting rooms to the antique furnishings and snug bedrooms, it’s the ideal spot for families and groups to relax and unwind. Outside, you'll find a private enclosed garden (with a barbecue) and plenty to explore in the surroundings. Guests also receive day entry passes to the Castle along with a voucher for the farm shop, plus it's within easy reach of the North York Moors National Park.
