Holiday houses in Bishop Monkton

We had a lovely stay in the cabin at Water Hall Farm. The cabins are beautiful and surprisingly spacious, fitting the four of us fine for 2 nights. The hot tub, which was prewarmed, was a relaxing addition and the views to the surrounding hills and Sutton Bank were stunning. We managed to have a BBQ and fires on the fire pit, for which we had plenty of logs. The place is very family friendly, with some goals and balls out on the field in front and lots of animals to see in the fields around. The kids loved it. We will likely be back!

We had the most wonderful stay. We searched many airbnbs and were really taken by the peaceful location, and the quality and care that was put into making it a 5* experience. It was importantly very clean, we had a lovely welcome basket, and the hosts were very helpful and responsive. We would def stay again xx

Our third year in a row and the property and gardens remain just as special as our first visit. Will and Sophie are friendly, welcoming and unobtrusive - the ideal hosts. The property is perfect and very well maintained with wonderful gardens to explore upon stepping outside the front door. The Cathedral city of Ripon, with a large M&S Foodhall, is a short distance away and the provision of good size (for 2 people) freezer and fridge mean all provisions can be obtained for a longer stay in one shop. There are so many local attractions to visit and even on or third stay we are still finding new ones. Very highly recommended and the free access to the gardens at all times remains the star attraction of this idyllic property and setting.

I booked this last minute and arrived an hour later. Barbara was out at the time and went out of her way to came back as soon as I got there. Barbara and her husband were so so lovely, really chatty and made me feel really welcome. The place was even more beautiful in person and just as described. It was worth the stay just to see the animals walking around and the beautiful views. The outside bath was amazing aswell, would highly recommend at sunset (Barbara advised me what time would be best too). Can’t wait to stay again x

A wonderful weekend spent in cosy Sunnyside, a cottage that has been fabulously refurbished, thoughtfully designed and fabulously presented. Everything was spotlessly clean and oozed good quality. Hampsthwaite was perfectly located for exploring the area, and is a quaint, peaceful village with a welcoming pub just up the road (Joiners Arms). Emily, our host, was very accommodating and great to respond to any queries. We would not hesitate to stay again or recommend to others.

Louise was very responsive and accommodating from the get go. Clear instructions to find the house with clear requests of where to park as not to restrict any access for anyone. The apartment was spotless, homely and a great size for us, we stayed in for the evening watching TV with a takeaway and were very comfortable and at ease. Any questions we had Louise answered without hesitation. The recommendations for local amenities and restaurants were really helpful too and the village was great. Overall a great experience, location and stay and we are grateful of the hospitality and would love to stay again if our travels take us over that way. Thank you again Louise & Paul Thank you Louise and Paul

This property was one of the best I have ever stayed in. It was beautifully presented and in an incredibly peaceful and idyllic location. Lovers of nature will not be disappointed. The bird song was fabulous and we loved sitting out on the patio each morning watching a variety of birds, including woodpeckers, feeding from the bird feeders that Amanda had placed outside. The property was beautifully furnished. The beds were very comfortable and all the facilities exceeded our expectations. The welcome pack Amanda kindly provided was fabulous, including milk eggs bread butter cereal jam chocolates and biscuits😃 We were blessed with beautiful weather but had the weather been less kind I know we would have had a wonderful stay. You will not be disappointed if you book this property. Thank you Amanda.

Moat Cottage was absolutely beautiful and exactly what we needed after being super busy at work. The hosts were wonderful - kind, responsive and incredibly nice. The cottage contains a highly secure garden that our four pooches loved. Within the garden was an outdoor dining area that overlooks the medieval fort area (beautiful green fields and hills). The house itself was lovely and had all the amenities you could hope for including plenty of seating in the lounge, an inside dining space and a fridge-freezer. There is a stair gate to prevent the pooches from going upstairs. Ours stayed in the lounge/kitchen area and there was plenty of room for all of our dog beds. The stairs are a bit steep! But there are handrails both sides. Upstairs there were two bedrooms that had two beds in each which the hosts helpfully turned into two super king beds. The inclusion of toiletries, dishwasher tablets, sundries and other bits and pieces was a nice touch! It was a beautiful home from home.
