What an amazing find. The property is in peaceful surroundings & totally fascinating, very unique, so special, the interior is incredible and totally compliments the era of this beautiful property. Karen the host is bubbly and friendly, we had a very welcome cup of tea and shortbread on arrival, served in the lounge. Our room was peaceful, with sumptuous bedding, quality furniture, tv, tea/coffee facilities, powerful shower - all you need. Slept like a log. Our delicious breakfast was served in the poshest dining room ever. We were visiting for the nearby Pickering classic car show, we also went to the very pretty village of Thornton le Dale where Bangers and Cash programme is from & great pleasure to meet Derek who had time for us!!!! Just wonderful…. & had fish & chips at Whitby - a place called Angels - on the sea front, Wow. This property is so convenient for visiting so much! Thanks very much Karen 🤗
