Our 2nd time staying at the granary and both times have been lovely.
The property is very clean and tidy, the beds are comfortable and all the little things have been thought about (tea towels, washing up liquid, etc)
The area is very quiet and the parking is secure. Location is well situated and only took us a 20 minute drive to get into York city centre.
Hosts were lovely and very organised!

The property was well maintained and clean with gorgeous views of the lake from the livingroom window. York was only 25 minutes away and was a short drive to local pubs and shops for filling the fridge. The hot tub was amazing!
We travelled with our 10 month old daughter & Lisa was able to set up a travel cot in the 3rd bedroom which was really appreciated for our stay.

Beautiful setting, 12 min drive from York Shambles. Spotless room with lovely decor. The bed was very comfortable and we were warm. Fully equipped kitchen if you want to make your own food, very clean and well kept. 4 block of toilet/shower, not many but never had to wait to use them. Showers were hot and again, very clean. Outdoor bbq area was really nice, it was a shame the weather wasn't the best, but some people there made the most of it. Great space to park your car. Big handsome peacock roaming around with the automatic grass hoover - we named him Groover.

This property is absolutely exceptional. It is tastefully decorated throughout with beautiful finishing touches- I particularly loved the gorgeous hardback books. The linens are of great quality, as are the toiletries (a variety of Molton Brown). The kitchen has everything that you could need. We loved having our morning coffee with the stable door open, the radio on and the sunshine streaming in. As with the rest of the house, everything is really high quality, with a coffee machine, Nespresso pods, and a great breakfast hamper provided. The homemade cupcakes were also a lovely touch.
Travelling with a 9 month old, it can be hard to find places that feel safe and where you don’t have to pack your whole house. This cottage is perfect for anyone travelling with a family. We were provided with a travel cot (which Elley communicated about in advance to check which bedroom we’d like it in), a high chair, baby cutlery, toys, children’s books and (probably most importantly) safety gates.
The outside space is gorgeous. We had a lovely al fresco dinner looking over the castle.
Location is spot on. It took us just under 25 minutes to get to both York and Helmsley, and just over an hour to reach the coast. Sheriff Hutton is really peaceful and the pub is only a short walk and does a great range of food.
Thank you to Elley and her lovely family for the warm hospitality. We felt really welcome from the minute we arrived.
Flaxton is a small village - very pretty and well kept.
Flaxton is a small village - very pretty and well kept. Even though the Thompson Arms is just outside the village, it is obviously very popular with the locals, and has a lively and friendly clientele. We were made to feel most welcome.

I needed to be fairly close to Malton as I had business...
I needed to be fairly close to Malton as I had business there, but needed a reasonably priced overnight stay as I had further work in Scarborough the following day. With more time the proximity to Castle Howard would have been a big plus.
We enjoyed a comfortable night in a clean and pleasant room, with all we needed. Stuart was a friendly host and we had drinks and snacks in the bar in the evening and a very good breakfast in the morning.
The location suited us well, as close to family.
Flaxton is a few miles out of York, but easy to get there by car. It is quite close to Castle Howard and to A64 and not far from A19.
The cottage itself (number 1) was lovely for a short getaway. Comfy bed and sofa, kitchen well equipped. Adjoining the pub was good. Super friendly & accommodating hosts. Central location if you want to explore Yorkshire and the coast. I would stay again and one of few hosts that haven’t inflated their prices during the pandemic.
The shower head was too small and didn't provide great water supply.Also did not stay in the riser rail and kept slipping down resulting in having to hold it for a shower.Very annoying.Suggest it is replaced with a bigger head and fits properly.
Cosy location. Brilliant private cottage. Loved the pool table. Lovely and friendly host. This is written by my 11 year old son. He loved the place. 20 minutes to York train station. Great breakfast. Will definitely visit again. 👍
The owners are very friendly and helpful and the beer and the breakfast is lovely. Good location for touring and not far from Scarborough and York.
I would be happy to stay here again and hope to do so in the near future.
Everything else was great. Lovely hosts and super comfy bed. It is a great location for exploring York and the surrounding areas. Despite the noise issues we'd stay again and also recommed this property.
