High Farm B&B & Holiday Cottages Cropton

We returned to High Farm and Cropton for the first time in 24 years and stayed in Stable Cottage, which was just finished the last time we were there. Ruth & Stephen gave us a five star welcome with a tray of tea and goodies. Stable Cottage is a pleasant and cozy place to stay. It has all the facilities you might need for a week away. The New Inn, 10 minutes walk away, is a big draw if you like your beer and I've reviewed that excellent pub separately. High Farm is only a short drive to Pickering and there is loads to see in the area. An excellent break was had by both of us. I would recommend this cottage to anyone. We've also stayed in Hobbits Hideaway when our children were small. That worked very well for us too.

Absolutely perfect cottage , plenty of room, the kitchen is fully equipped with everything you could possibly need, even a dishwasher and washer/dryer. The owners greeted us with home made cakes and tea and coffee and there was even fruit and a bottle of bucks fizz! Every where spotless and cleaning products available. We would definitely return.

Great place to say. Quite and owner friendly and helpful. Can off assistant if you unsure where to visit or get a meal. Accommodation fully cleaned between guest. Long weekend possibly as is Monday to Friday - call for a chat about your actual requirements. Play area for the children.

Fantastic holiday accommodation within a lovely village and huge gardens. Highly recommended Update. Still as good as the first time we visited 30 years ago.

My wife & I have recently returned from a three night winter stay at High Farm B&B run by the charming Ruth & Stephen.  It was a pleasure to receive good old British hospitality at its very best and a privilege to be part of their household.  A warm welcome followed our arrival, accompanied by a tray of cakes & hot cross buns and a pot of freshly brewed tea. As we indulged, in front of a real & roaring log & coal fire in the guest's lounge, Ruth engaged in a friendly chat with us and ensured we knew all we needed to know.  If we had so desired the tray would have been repeated on the following two days. Our room, complete with a well-stocked welcome tray, and bathroom were spotlessly clean and comfortable. From one window we had a view towards the nearby North York Moors National Park and from the other a view over the stone village of Cropton.  Our breakfasts were breakfasts to die for and Ruth & Stephen offered us our choice from an extensive menu including full English and a variety of other traditional breakfast items. We were able to choose the timing of the delivery of the various items to our liking which contributed to a very relaxing time. Straying from our usual breakfast menu because we were on a break we enjoyed full English breakfasts.  They were absolutely delicious, cooked largely by Stephen we believe, served on hot plates and incorporating thick rashers of bacon, meaty sausages and fluffy scrambled eggs or poached eggs where the yolks were as orange as a Jaffa orange. It was a joy to chat to Ruth, in the environment of a family home where there was extensive memorabilia from years gone by. Ruth had got the level of engagement just right, enough to be attentive but not overly fussy to make us feel uncomfortable.  It you like cats then there are four well-behaved ones to enjoy, if not then they will be kept well away. Being winter there was not much so see in the extensive garden, apart from several clumps of daffodils, some blooms of which Ruth was observed to freshly pick for the breakfast table. However, as the year unfolds the garden is sure to become a colourful & relaxing haven to be enjoyed during fine weather. So, bring your slippers, it would almost seem rude not to given the homeliness of this countryside gem, and enjoy the complete hospitality offered by a likeable & genuine couple.  Do visit the village pub, just a few minutes walk away through the village, for a friendly welcome and some tasty food & self-brewed drinks.
