Are the cottages close to each other?

Our cottages are centred around two hamlets; Low Mill and Church Houses. Four of the cottages are located in Low Mill (Mill Farmhouse, Hollins Garth, The Byre and East View), while the remaining seven can be found in Church Houses.  Several of the cottages would work well for friends and family travelling together, for example Mill Farmhouse sleeps 8 and The Byre sleeps 2, so it’s perfect for a large family in Mill Farmhouse, with perhaps grandparents just next door in The Byre. Please get in touch for advice on which cottages are close to one another.

When can we check in?

You are welcome to arrive from 4pm on your day of arrival, and we request that you depart no later than 10am on your day of departure. This allows our housekeeping team to ensure the cottage is thoroughly cleaned before and after your stay.

Can I charge my electric vehicle at the cottage?

Mill Farmhouse and The Byre have EV charging points in the car park, however our other cottages do not. We are in the process of investigating the installation of electric vehicle charging points at Church Houses. In the meantime, we request that you do not use “granny chargers” as our insurance does not cover any damage caused or fire risk.

There are charging points nearby at Helmsley, Kirkbymoorside and Pickering.

Do you have coffee machines?

All of our cottages are now equipped with Nespresso machines.  We supply a starter pack of pods, and if you would like to purchase additional pods these are available to collect from Farndale Store.

How much freezer space is there?

All of our cottages have both a fridge and a freezer (no larder fridges with a freezer box). They are either an under counter size, or free-standing fridge/freezer.

We provide all bedding. We provide a hand towel and bath towel for each guest and a kitchen towel and tea-towel. You may wish to bring more with you if you think you will need them.
